Natutuwa ako para kay Mark Angeles na nagbebenta na ng kaniyang Patikim. Matagal na sanang nailabas ang libro niyang ito kung hindi lang nagkaproblema sa gustong mag-publish. After too much time contemplating, siya na mismo ang nag-publish ng kaniyang akda. Ngayon nga ay nagbebenta na siya, me kaakibat pang good cause.

Sa ngayon ay nawiwindang ako sa pag-aayos/pagbubuo ng manuskritong ipapakatay ipapabasa sa ilang miyembro ng Pinoypoets (pramis, nothing new grand sa manuskritong ito). Dagdag pa dito ang pustahan namin ni Xam na gumawa ng sampung bagong tula para sa taong ito. Ang matatalo ay manlilibre sa grupo. Gayong nakatutuwa na tapos ko ng bunuin ang sampung bagong tula na ito (yehey! yehey!), iilan lang ang maisasama kong mga tula sa binubuo kong koleksyon.

Hay hay sidhay. Napapalibutan na nga ako ng mga librong binabasa. Hindi ko na sila naibabalik sa kanilang maayos na pagkakasalansan. Parang Smokey Mountain ng mga libro ang kuwarto ko.

Ano ang pangalan ng pighati?

Ikinalulungkot kong sabihin na wala na, sinukuan na kita. Hindi mo man lang ako napapanaginipan.

Madalas mo man akong banggitin, subalit hungkag ang iyong inilalaan na kahulugan.

Unti-unti akong naglalandas palabas ng iyong kamalayan, hindi mo man lang namalayan.

Sapagkat inaakala mong napupuspos ang iyong labi ng kahiwagaan, hindi mo na pinangalanan akong nananalig sa iyo tuwina. 

(CNN) -- Efren Peñaflorida, who started a "pushcart classroom" in the Philippines to bring education to poor children as an alternative to gang membership, has been named the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year. More here.

About the group he started

Dynamic Teen Company (DTC) is a group of concerned young people with a mission of making a small yet significant difference in other people’s lives, particularly the small children in slum areas who have no access to education, basic hygiene and sometimes, even love from their families. The group was founded in August 1997 by four teenagers from Cavite National High School. The initial group made up of around 20 members started as a friendship club which aimed to divert the attention of students from joining violent gangs and notorious fraternities that were thriving on the campus. Their major platform then was to cater youth awareness projects, talent and self development activities, and community services. Today, the group holds different activities to address these issues.

Accomplishments

The fruits of their labor are slowly being reaped as former drug users and petty thieves who were reformed through their projects are now also serving as volunteers. Former scavengers are now in school and are helping to raise funds. Some of the children who remain unschooled are now able to read and write. DTC was able to reach thousands of children through their Mind Your Rights (MY RIGHTS) campaign and through their health-literacy work.

In 2007, they launched the “WE ARE THE CHANGE” campaign to inspire people to be the catalyst for change – in what they want to see in their home, community and the world we live in. For they believe that real change happens when we begin to touch one soul and change one heart at a time.

"Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special"

On Target
Gays should not abuse society’s tolerance

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is right about rejecting the application of a group composed of lesbians and gays to become a party-list group.

Had the poll body approved the application of Ang Ladlad, baka tinamaan ng kidlat (lightning would have struck) its commissioners.

Kidding aside, gender should never be an issue in politics.

If there are many gays and lesbians in our midst, fine! We should respect their rights.

But they should not also go around town proclaiming their preferences as if it was a badge of honor.

There is nothing honorable or normal about same-sex marriage or union, which Ang Ladlad is trying to promote.

Gays and lesbians should be happy society tolerates them. They should not abuse society’s doting attitude towards them.

or in tagalog, itaga mo ito sa bato.

if E and I do somehow end up together, i will not, WILL not, absolutely f**king will not:

1. include the pig and her little piglet in the entourage. i do not care if they cry, beg, or blackmail me. we are not going to make dresses that look like suman just to please their egos.

2. invite the pig and her piglet to the wedding at all, though this may be harder to accomplish since the pig is E's blood relative.

3. have them spend alone time with the kids if E and i have kids. in fact, they will not be invited to baptismals, or birthdays, or any sort of occasion. and on the occasion that we do get together, i will not have the kids within 5 meters of that pig and her offspring.

i'm so upset i want to punch something out. i'm literally shaking with anger, and i haven't seen their snouts in 5 hours.

i should make it part of a pre nup. yes. that's what i'll do.

Just got home from the block screening of New Moon. I brought my friend, my brother & my cousin with me. Fun!

So...the movie was so good! Can't help to scream & feel giddy the moment Jacob took his shirt off. Wow. Just wow. Geezus! I'm lusting over a 17 y/o kid! Sorry, I really can't help it :D And Edward? Well, he's as drooling as ever. However, New Moon is where Jacob evolved into some hot hunk shape-shifter so I think that's why Taylor is hotter than Rpattz now :D

I don't wanna write any spoilers about the movie or make a review about it (I suck at making reviews) like what I did last year with Twilight so the only thing that I can say to the stranger who's reading this one: GO SEE THE MOVIE NOW!

P.S.

The Felix-Edward fight was awesome! And Dakota..gawd, she's a stunner

P.P.S.

I will be watching it again with my IR Ladies later this afternoon. Haha!

This one I saw over at The Evening News on TV5:

Amazing, and a bit scary.

Scary as the corpse scene in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963):

And, this tribute to Alfred Hitchcock in which the famous director is devoured by one of his most remembered films:
