So many thoughts are left unpublished. Mostly forgotten, but a few remain in an imaginary cloud hovering atop my head. Of the few, many are left dormant for I’ve been lingering trapped in lackluster state of mind. Frustrating. Unproductive.
It has been months since my last post. Many things have happened. Changes have been drastic. It is only I that’s been idle. Thus I proclaim my return with a stockpile of random thoughts. (more…)
If there’s anything I hate, it’s someone who join the bandwagon of hearsays and make their own. I’m currently in company (as in a group of; not a firm) of such. I know of someone who claims such and such to be true when it’s clear as the light of day that the words coming out of his mouth are manufactured only to appear learnéd. There was even an instance when he would have looked stupid if I laid the facts. I would have been pleased if everything he said before spitting was “in my opinion,” but it wasn’t because at the end of every sentences was the phrase “that’s the truth!”
I’ve been hearing such libelous claims for years now. It’s just not good for the ears to hear faulty facts. My blood rises every time I hear such uneducated behavior. Just keep it to yourself or write a blog like me. I’m pretty much aware my opinions are rebellious of conventions and reality. However, I don’t think I’ve misguided anyone as to claiming a fact that already exist to be not or vice-versa. If I am guiding the readers to a different path, my bases are my opinions, not claims or claims that haven’t been claimed factual by the almanac.
NOTE: Before you refine a search on the people around me because of my use of pronoun, I don’t use the “he/she” pronoun because using a “he” is acceptable by American English grammar standards to refer to an unknown gender.
I received this via chain e-mail from my aunt. It deserves to be shared with my readers. We can’t deny that American History is filled with conspiracies and whatnot, but this is really creepy.

The other night I was watching Nuts Entertainment on GMA PinoyTV and Senator Francis Joseph “Chiz” Escudero was the guest in the Balakubak segment. One question was whether he’d consider running in the presidential election in 2010. As usual, Chiz gave an intelligent answer whereas he said that he’s only thirty-nine years old so he won’t comment on such, but he hinted that he would be forty by the election day. Unlike the United States which requires a 35-year-old limit, the Philippines requires that its President is at least forty. Escudero has been considered to be one of the candidates in 2010, and so thoughts amassed. (more…)
As I was checking blogs off my blogroll, I noticed that my ads are McCain oriented. Data mining capability of Google is really amazing. I don’t have to say which party I tend to lean, yet it knows. I’m not a registered voter and I don’t think I’ll be, but I’m openly a Republican. I guess it’s in my nature to go against the grain because I live in an urban area and urbanites tend to be democrats.
Especially in this year’s election. I think that the democratic party is a joke. They should have found someone more effective because McCain is a tough contender. I think if they had Kerry run again, they may have a chance. I won’t make any prediction save one. Hollywood will vote Obama because the vocal these celebrities about supporting Obama, they think that the masses will watch their movies. If you have Pamela Anderson screaming she’s voting Obama, I think you have to think who to vote again. It may be better to vote for Perot if he runs again.
Before you comment on my opinion, it is solely mine and I did not do any research on each candidate’s platform or issues. These are solely my hunch based on the years I’ve “kind of” observe these men.
We all know that the two World Wars brought stability to dying economies of their era. Before the bombing of the WTC and the war on terrorism, US economy wasn’t so good. George W. Bush was elected and was made a scapegoat for the slide of US economy. So here 9/11 was a perfect opportunity to improve the spiraling economy. On the side note, it’s not being ruled out that Pearl Harbor was of the same opportunity to get out of the Great Depression. The American government was rumored to have known the threat, but created an excuse to halt the isolation and enter the war. Gawd! I love American politics! (more…)
