Moving on from the tragedy, paranoia, bickering and finger-pointing of the Glorietta 2 bombing, it’s time to move on a little bit with this blog. Today, I finally got the time to do this ‘My Desktop Free View‘ meme/tag from Jaypee which was started by iRonnie.
It all started with his realization that;
Most people spend a [...]

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006:
Standing up to what you believe in, despite the consequences it will definitely prove you exist and would give much worth to your life and existence.
If you could go back in time to any moment of 2006 and change something, what would it be?
Despite the many regrets, I would change nothing in 2006. What’s done is done, besides it could have really really serious repercussions in the space-time continuum. hahaha
What are your wishes for the new year?
ISPs get better preparation so that connections would not suffer that much during natural calamities. All the blessings to Filipino bloggers and a better life for all Pinoys.
The farmers and peasants are decrying the ill effects of globalization and importation of cheaper Chinese vegetables into the country that beats them in competition. To make it worse, gov’t budget for agriculture is so little much of it is lost in corruption.
Cutting the story short, myself and a friend of mine got thirsty under the heat of the sun while the protest march settled at Mendiola and the program went on. The two of us saw this buko juice vendor at the corner of the intersection and we deiced to take a break. Carrying our protest placards screaming in full red the ouster of GMA and ending of the US Imperialism in the country, we bought some nice cold buko juice for refreshemt. While we were enjoying our drinks, little did we know that the police has started to disperse the crowd and arresting those who have astrayed too far from the ranks of the protesters. Seeing a couple of police officers armed with riot shileds and battons heading our way, my friend and I hurried back to our companions, the nuns and priests from the Urban Missionaries to escape arrest. They chased us and we were lucky enough to make back into the safety of our group before the police got their hands on us. It was a narrow escape. Still, the struggle goes on.

Sean Connery - okay he is old but he’s among my most admired and idolized actors out there. I’m a fan of his films and his scottish accent. It sounds so regal and so authoritative. The first Sean Connery film that I saw was “First Knightâ€, which co-starred Richard Gere and that beautiful actress. (I forgot her name and I’m too lazy to ask Google for it as of this writing.) The second one, and this is among my all-time favorite films is “The Rock†which he co-starred with Nicholas Cage. The action film is just a brilliant piece of filmaking. Too bad Hollywood no longer makes this kind of action movies. These were followed by some of his James Bond films and now I understood how he rose to international stardom. I’d argue that Sean Connery was the classic James Bond actor. Finally, there’s “The Untouchables†which won him his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He deserves it and more.
6. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
Yes, my personal record was 75 hours straight
7. What color looks best on you?
Gray, black, blue and white
8. What’s your favorite alcoholic drink?
Gin + Extra Joss (hekhekhek) Try it, no hangovers and you’d barely get drunk.
9. Do you believe in heaven and hell as real places that we go to after we die?
No. The real question is, ‘Is there really life after death?’ Besides, Jesus has already shown how heaven can be found on Earth, while GMA and the imperialists has turned the Philippines into hell ever since the former said ‘Hello, Garci’ while the latter stole our independence in 1898.
Oh well, here I go anyways;
1. I’ve been wearing the same set of eyeglass lenses for the past 10 years and I’ve never have them changed ever since except for the frames which I often break.
2. I’ve read two Harry Potter books; The Prisoner of Azkaban, and The Goblet of Fire but I’ve never really seen their film versions in whole. I rented the CDs and even watched them on HBO but I never got to finish them. I really don’t know why.
3. I eat cereals (Honey Stars or Trix) in the afternoon as snacks, instead of having them for breakfast.
