So... Who are the 3 Senatoriables you WON'T VOTE this coming May Elections?

I actually read this in the blog, Political Pinoy wherein the blogger also got the idea from an email of his readers. The email. went like this:

I got this idea from RJTV when I was channel-surfing last night. This show was hosted by an old lady, who had the strangest voice I had ever heard, and 2 old men who does nothing on the show, but to sit down at both ends of the old lady. Their topic was �Name 3 Senatoriables You Wont Vote For?�.
Now, I ask you. WHO ARE THE 3 SENATORIABLES YOU WONT VOTE FOR? And explain why you wont vote for them!
My 3 Senatoriables that I wont vote for:
1. Alan Peter Cayetano - He is a member of the Cayetano dynasty in Senate. His father, whom I regard as a good Senator, was the late Sen. Renato �Compa�ero� Cayetano. His sister is current Senator, Pia Cayetano. Tapos sasama pa siya? Hello? Hu-hu!

2. Koko Pimentel - Remember his political ad? Its something that talks about their surname. So - - - what about their name? It doesn�t mean that if your father is good, you�re good too. Remember the political satire/allegory of the old Kapamilya sitcom �Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata�?

3. Richard Gomez -Wala siyang kredibilidad, porket ba hindi siya kukunin ng GO para tumakbo, didkit naman siya sa administrasyon. Tapos nung hindi siya pinatakbo ng administrasyon, nag-independent naman siya! What a sore loser!

Now? Who are the 3 Senatoriables you wont vote for?

The blogger also posted his 3 Senatoriables:
As for me, the 3 Senatoriables that I won't vote for are:

1. Alan Peter Cayetano - I hate political dynasty esp. in the Senate. His father, whom I consider as a good senator, is the late Sen. Renato Cayetano. His sister is incumbent senator, Pia Cayetano. 2 members of the same family is just not my cup of tea. (with that i am adding the Estrada's and the Pimentel's too) Plus, i seriously doubt that he has anything to show for in terms of accomplishment in Congress or in his district except that he consistently targets the First Family just for the heck of media attention and projection to land on national early evening newscasts without any proof at all.

2. Antonio Trillanes - I hate mutineers. Wala silang disiplina. They should exhaust means within the system first before doing something which will definitely hurt the economy and the institutions we have.

3. Gringo Honasan - I hate mutineers period.

Now, who are the 3 Senatoriables you won't vote for?
0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o

This was really a great idea! I also thought of the candidates I won't vote for but there are MANY of them...
anyways, my TOP 3 Senatoriables I won't vote for are:
  1. Chavit Singson - He is not very credible. Although I'm not a supporter of Erap, I can't help but wonder why this guy suddenly spoke ill of Erap. What are his reasons? Why did he suddenly betrayed Erap? And one more thing, I was able to watch one of the episodes of ABS-CBN's Forum 2007, which featured 3 Senatoriables, each from a different party, and had a little debate. Topic of the episode where Chavit Singson was one of the candidates was about Corruption. With him were Kiko Pangilinan and Peter Cayetano. I was surprised that Chavit Singson was "bobo." His answers didn't connect with the questions. there was also this question from the panels that he didn't even understand! His answers were crap! I don't want to have a Senator who speaks crap all the time!
  2. Richard Gomez - (can i also include Ceasar Montano?) - anyway, as much as I don't want "artistas" in the political realm, Richard Gomez is one guy who I don't trust either. I was wondering why does he keep on pushing himself into the political parties, first was the opposition, then the administration. What the? He's worser than the "balimbings." I remembered that he also represented a party-list before, pero natalo ata. I don't like his guts and attitude. We can all see how bad his attitude is even on television. Sour-graping on the Kapamilya network, kasi wala siyang project then jumped into the Kapuso network. As if he's a good actor or host.. Tapos host pa siya ng ASAP? As if he has a good voice.. And now Senator? Hah! How desperate...
  3. Tessie Aquino-Oreta - First, the dancing, then the jumping to the administration ticket, then the "I'm Sorry." Are these people really that desperate!?
To be honest, I don't see enough credibility with the Senatorial candidates.. even the local candidates.. Politics in the Philippines is really really trash... but there is a candidate I will surely vote for, Chiz Escudero!

Kayo ba? Who are the 3 Senatoriables that you WON'T VOTE?

Dismayado...

3 days.. no phone line.. the phone that is connected for DSL... nakakainis.. PLDT is really the WORST company!

Was looking for an alternative, Globe sana, I called them up, and sabi nila meron daw sa area namin for DSL only, walang phone line. Super saya ko. Then the CS noted that we go to their business center in SM North EDSA to confirm kung covered na ung place namin. So we went there, and to my dismay... we're not yet covered... argh... kala ko pa naman I'm released from PLDT's bad service... I thought that may other choice na kami.. Sayang.. But at least magkakaroon na din sa area namin.. sana sooner... Sobrang money -eater na ang PLDT esp sa DSL nila.. oh well...

PLDT S**CKS!!!!!

Korean MVs

I can't help but notice how nicely done Korean Music Videos are. Most of their videos usually star tv/movie actors and actresses. And usually you won't see the song artist in the videos. I once watched a documentary regarding korean music videos in ArirangTV. They said that this brought about the trend in the Korean Music Industry, making the song more appealing to the people. And I'm not talking about songs that are part of OSTs of a movie. These are songs from the artists' album (called singles). Comparing it to American MVs, I must say that Korean MVs are way way way better! Movie Quality talaga! :D And they are very touching ;) Here are some of the Korean MVs. Some of my fav songs :D

SG Wannabe- Partner for Life


SG Wannabe - Slow (the continuation of the first video)


KangTa and Vanness - 127 Day


Brian Joo - 일년을 겨울에 살아 (I Live A Year In The Winter)


Se7en - 잘할게 - I Will Do Well



And many more! :D Oh, one more thing... I think this one is very nice too, not quite sure, but this MV is like introducing the new album of the artist. They are SG Wannabe and the album is Sentimental Chord. The MV contained 3 songs from the new album. Very nice :D The MV is 21 mins long, it was split into 3 parts in youtube. Here they are ;)

其實還愛你 "I Still Love You"

Very nice song.. *sigh* by 阿 of FIR

here's the video and lyrics.. i'm trying my best to translate everything.. ahah my chinese is a little rusty... will update this post once it's done :D



我讨厌阴天的风
冷得那么刺痛
只有你能够抚平所有的寂寞
昨天的风筝在角落
被谁丢到了路口
我很不想让你找到离开的理由
每一夜闭上眼睛
我看到了恶梦
你微笑但是旁边的人不是我
天空切开一道裂缝
直接割到我心中
不想装作脆弱
也不想爱得懦弱
其实我非常爱你不想失去你
难道我没有权利说我不愿意
你给了他的吻
虽然只有余温
可知道我多渴望抓住你的心
我知道他很爱你你怕他伤心
我每天假装开心害怕你离去
可不可以任性
求求你不要去
藏在我心里最后一句
其实还爱你
可不可以任性
求求你不要去
藏在我心里最后一句
其实还爱你

Deathnote Mania!

just started watching the anime and i'm liking the course of the story. Basically, a student got hold of a "death note" which can kill people just by writing their name in that notebook. By default, the person will die of a heart attack unless you specify what kind of death you want that person to die of. So this student started killing the criminals. The police, on the other hand, became "suspicious" of this "killings" and now they want to catch who this killer is.

Bum bum bum... hahaha

anyway, found the lyrics of the ending song of Deathnote. sounds nice ;) With the English translation, the romanized version, and the japanese character version ;)

A momentary sparkle twinkles within the flowing time
I’m a Believer who can keep walking so to engrave into this world’s memories

I had a dream that no one else could have and I threw away everything that I didn’t need
Thoughts that I can’t surrender dwell in my chest

Even if I’m still in the rift between reality and ideals and my feet are bound by shackles of sacrifice
My overflowing impulse isn’t fully repressed because I have a heart that yearns powerfully

“Pretense” “Fear” “Vanity” “Grief”; I won’t be weak enough
To be apprehended by the various negative things; I’m a Trickster who doesn’t know loneliness

The groups of buildings that pierce the night sky, I look up at the air in which stars and such are invisible
And ask myself, “Won’t I be lost?”

Things like being smeared by those who overflow in this entire city or being infatuated won’t happen to me
Because at the end of the road that connects to the future, I want to see something that’ll grab onto my hand

I close my eyes and it surfaces in my sea of consciousness: the moment when I’ll get the ideal that I’d pictured

To merely receive limited “life” in this world and rot away is equal to being stupid
Go toward that which no one else can have- the crystal known as “my oneself”

The fact of piercing through the whitewash will turn into the truth someday
I want to keep believing in it stubbornly; It’s just my faith. The absolute truth.

A momentary sparkle twinkles within the flowing time
I’m a Believer who can keep walking so to engrave into this world’s memories

Nagareru toki no naka matataku setsunateki kirameki o
Kono yo no kioku ni kizamu tame arukitsuzukeru Believer

Dare ni mo mirenai yume o mite iranai mono wa subete suteta
Yuzurenai omoi kono mune ni yadoshite

Mada riaru to idearu no hazama ni ite gisei no kase ni ashi o torarete mo
Afureru shoudou osaekirenai tsuyoku motomeru kokoro ga aru kara

“Itsuwari” “Osore” “Kyoshoku” “Urei” samazama na negatibu ni
Torawareru hodo yowaku wa nai kodoku mo shiranu Trickster

Yozora o tsukisasu biru no mure hoshi nado mienai sora miage
“Mayoi wa nai ka” to jibun ni toikakeru

Kono machijuu afureru mono ni mamire utsutsu o nukasu you na koto wa nai
Asu e to tsunagaru michi no hate de kono te ni tsukamu mono o mitai kara

Mabuta o toji ishiki no umi ni ukande omoiegaku risou o te ni suru sono toki o

Kagiri aru “sei” o kono yo ni uke kare yuku dake wa oroka ni hitoshii
Hoka no dare mo ga mochienai mono “jibun jishin” to iu na no kesshou e

Kireigoto o tsukitoosu koto itsuka makoto e kawaru
Katakuna ni shinjitsuzuketai It’s just my faith. The absolute truth.

Nagareru toki no naka matataku setsunateki kirameki o
Kono yo no kioku ni kizamu tame arukitsuzukeru Believer

流れる時間の中瞬く刹那的煌きを
この世の記憶に刻むため 歩き続けるBeliever

誰にも見れないユメを見て 要らないものは全て捨てた
ゆずれない想い この胸に宿して

まだ現実と理想の狭間にいて 犠牲の枷に足をとられても
溢れる衝動押さえきれない 強く求める心があるから

「偽り」「恐れ」「虚飾」「憂い」 様々なネガティブに
とらわれるほど弱くはない 孤独も知らぬTrickster

夜空を突き刺すビルの群れ 星など見えない宙見上げ
「迷いはないか」と 自分に問いかける

この街中溢れるモノにまみれ うつつを抜かすようなことは無い
未来へと繋がる道の果てで この手に掴むものを見たいから

瞼を閉じ意識の海に浮かんで 思い描く 理想を手にするそのときを

限りある「生」をこの世に受け 枯れゆくだけは愚かに等しい
他の誰もが持ち得ないもの 「自分自身」という名の結晶へ

キレイゴトを突き通すこと いつか真実へ変わる
頑に信じ続けたい It’s just my faith. The absolute truth.

流れる時間の中瞬く刹那的煌きを
この世の記憶に刻むため 歩き続けるBeliever

Celebrity Look-alikes hahaha

the Lenten 2007


Let's take a little of our time to reflect, to think, and to appreciate everything that Jesus sacrificed for us, to show His Love for us.

"Give not over thy soul to sorrow; and afflict thyself in thy own counsel. Gladness of heart is the life of man." - Ecclesiastes
