Pulis Patola and Jackie Chan's Tweet

Philippines is in the midst of hostage drama crisis and Ms. Universe 2010 blunders..... but some people are really apathetic and still doesn't think of  the major impact this has done to Pinoy's image all over the world. They are so insensitive that they do not know how serious the situation is!

I have no idea what the hell they were thinking in picture taking infront of the bus! @_@ Wasn't this suppposed to be a crime scene?!  Why the hell are they smiling and taking a pose and posting picture below in Facebook? This bus background should not be taken as a tourist spot! For God's sake 9 lives were lost and some others are still in trauma!

 *labas ng shotgun*    ......... Bang! Bang! Bang!

Naknang tokwa!   >,<

Teh! Smile pa teh...... hang ganda moooo! @_@

Oh! Eto pa!..... mga patolang Pinoy! Smile pa! Oh tag ko kayo mamaya!

On the positive note..... I have been a fan of Jackie Chan since I was a kid..... and now I love him more.

@EyeofJackieChan tweets...... "this kind of things always happen around the world. It happened to hk's people, the whole hk is talking about it. Its really sad. HK is a nation built by a lot of different people..don't worry! We do not hate! "



Awww! The world needs more Jackie Chans!!!!   T_T


Postcripts To A BloodBath... Aug. 23, 2010 Quirino Grandstand Bus Hostage Drama

I would like to share an article circulating online on facebook and blogs. I am not sure if this one is authentic and if Mr. Bang Lu Min really exist as one of the survivors..... But what the heck.... read on and feel the goosebumps.... (the same goosebumps I felt when I heard Ms. Venus Raj's Major Major! ^_^ )


Mr. Mendoza was already upset even before he saw on television what the policemen did to his brother. The other tourists who remained inside the bus were complaining. Wei Ji Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom. Dao Chi Yu was hungry and the rest were just groaning and whining like they have forgotten that our lives rest in Mr. Mendoza's hands. The hostage taker, as you know him was really nice. He treated us okay and even let the elders and the children leave the bus. He said your policemen treated him unfairly. He was a policeman too and was accused of doing something he had no knowledge of. But your government didn't listen so he used us to get everyone's attention.
Things would have never turned for the worst if he didn't see how his family was dragged out of their house and taken into custody. He was watching the news all the time as we huddled around each other behind the bus. He shouted some words in your language then started shooting in the air. A girl about my age started screaming. Mr. Mendoza demanded her to stop but she didn't understand English. God, he had to slash her neck with a knife just to put her to rest. Her boyfriend who tried to hit him was shot in the head. Tension was rising. You can see in his face how scared and confused he was.
The bus driver ran away leaving him alone with strangers from a distant land. I can see him walking across the aisle, sometimes pointing his machine gun to one of the tourists. But he tried his best not to hurt us, especially those who really cooperate. I guess its in your nature not to inflict pain on others unless it was necessary. I remember him saying that he will free us before sundown and implored us to forget everything when we return home. But his words don't matter now. The policemen were trying to force their way in, while we all lied down to shield ourselves from bullets. Mister Mendoza blindly shoots at his enemies which I think kept them from rescuing us. I hear sobs under the chairs. Some were even shouting the names of their loved ones even when the air merely eat their words. Kevin Tang tried to escape when the glass door was was shattered, but one shot and he slumped on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth. Heavy rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop. In old Chinese saying, it means an end to a struggle.
Finally, somebody was able to open the escape hatch at the back of the bus. Freedom. But I knew Mister Mendoza was still alive. I knew he was just waiting for a chance to strike back at his enemies. So I told those around me not to escape. Let the authorities come for us instead. Then there was gunfire. He was firing at his enemies with a machine gun. Those who were at the escape hatch fled abandoning us once again. It's like a nightmare with no end and to wake up means a certain death.
Then somebody from outside the bus threw a canister. It forced out a black smoke that is so painful to the eyes and putrid smelling to the nose. People started screaming. We cannot breathe. Some ran in front of the bus but Mister Mendoza warned them of stray bullets. It was too late. One was hit on the head, the other was hit on the shoulders. Bullets were now flying. Its like the authorities thought we were all dead. Mister Mendoza finally admits his mistake and said sorry to everyone, dead or alive. He then ran towards the front of the bus where he would meet his maker. As he passed by my chair with bullets whistling overhead, I clutched my hand on the velvet curtain and wrapped it around my face. All I could think of was to stay alive - for my child who is waiting for me back in Xinjang. I know I will survive, I will come home.

I found a very gruesome picture of how the hostage taker's life ended.....

Very disturbing........
When you see it.... You'll Shit Brix!
 Sadako finished him off.  ^_^

Major Major!...... Major Disaster on Venus Raj's Answer

I was not able to watch the live streaming of Ms. Universe 2010 since I was at work but I have my prayers and is rooting for our bet Ms. Venus Raj. She seems to be a very confident and talented lady...... not until she answered the final question and answer portion for the Top 5 candidates.

Here’s the question: What is the one biggest mistake that you have made in your life and what did you do to make it right?

And here’s her answer:

“You know what, sir, in my 22 years of existence I can say that there’s nothing major, major problem that I’ve done in my life because I’m very confident with my family with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I’m here. Thank you, thank you so much!”

Watch mo... ng maloka ka....  


Anyhooo.... I am so major major proud of her!  ^_^  Philippines 4th placer in the Ms. Universe Pageant!. Congrats Ms. Venu Raj!  The last time Philippines won a major award in the Ms. Universe Pageant was 1999 with Ms. Mirriam Quiambao as 1st placer for Ms. Botswana. In fairness, Venus Raj only shows that she has a positive outlook in life that whatever problem or mistake she went through, she never considered it as a hindrance.

I would be nervous too if I had to answer that same question..... but I would like to share the answer from a friend in FB....

Here is what he would answer if he we’re in Venus Raj’s position…..

” I am a human being, it’s normal to make mistakes.Every time we stumble and fall, its an opportunity to stand up and fight. I don’t really believe in major mistakes instead I advocate major learnings which made the person that I am today…” – John M.

Kabog!

Here are the Top 5 constestants Q&A:
Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete: What effect is unsupervised Internet use having on today's youth? Through an interpreter, she says the Internet is an "indispensable, necessary tool" and we have to make sure kids are using it according to family values.


Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell: What role should the government play in regulating potentially offensive clothing? "One of the greatest things we have is the freedom of choice...I don't think the government should have any say in what we wear."

Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps: Is the death penalty acceptable and why? "I believe that life is a gift...I believe that none of us as humans have the right to take a life."

Miss Ukraine Anna Poslavska: How do you feel about full-body scanners in airports? Through an interpreter, she says, "I think it's a very important question of security...if that helps us to save the lives of people, then I'm for it."

Miss Philippines Venus Raj: What is one big mistake you've made and what did you do to make it right? She says she hasn't made any major mistakes, then gives a shout-out to her family. "Thank you so much that I am here."

OK, that was the worst answer of the bunch.

Post Script:
Here is the translation of Ms. Venus Raj's answer into Bekimon language:

"Sa wadey-wadey kez pagkashoo ditey sa earthlaloo, waley namang BONGGANG BONGGANG nyoblem sa buhayla kez. Kasi confing-confi si watashi sa nyomily rubbing alcohol kez at mahalia jones nila si watashi! Tenkyubells tenkyubells at nanditey akez!"
aylavit!!! *tumbling* ^_^

Something to Smile Today: Pug Sings Batman

Oh well, I'm quite sad since Monday. Been crying and into emote mode because Sweetiepie♥ will be leaving for a 9 months international work abroad. My eyes are already red and I need something to smile today. I should be happy for him.... I should be happy for us! And oh!... yeah..... pumayag na siya for me to buy another dog to be my companion sa house while he is away. Si Bachie - my labrador is in my mom's house kase. I'd probably buy a Shih Tzu and call him Potchie or Pot Pot. I'd probably buy him a carrier bag so that I can bring him whenever I go and every weekends to visit my mom, bro and bachie.
Anyhoo..... I think I should just save the crying for tomorrow when I accompany Sweetiepie♥ to the airport. Let me smile today..... found a video of a pug singing Batman! Funny! :D


The World's Tallest and Fastest Roller Coaster

2 months ago, I blogged about going back to Star City and refusing to try the rides. I fear that my mature and weak heart cannot stand these rides anymore. See how mother effing crazy it is below.


Today, I saw a cool video of someone who rode the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster. Kahit sa video lang na pa ..... "Ohhhh nooooo! Shiiiiiiiiiit!...." ako eh.

 At the end of the ride and you still survived...... mapapa sigaw ka talaga ng .... "Oh My Gawd!... We made it!!"  
Arms down, head back and hold on. With only 28 seconds, the Kingda Ka may not be very long, but it's bound to leave you wide eyed and twitching. Located at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, USA, it's the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. The train is launched by a hydraulic launch mechanism to 128 miles per hour (206 km/h) in 3.5 seconds. At the end of the launch track, the train climbs the main top hat tower, reaching a height of 456 feet (139 meters)! At a cost of US$25 million, the Kingda Ka opened to the public on May 21, 2005, was closed several times for different technical problems and was also struck by lightning in early May 2009.


Would you ride this roller coaster for the adrenaline rush?

How should a Werewolf Look Like?

They are not a pack of werewolves.  (awwwoooooooo!)

This is not a werewolf. (It's a big dog!)

This is how a werewolf should look. Big, bad and scary!

Twilight vs. Vampire Chronicles

...Vampires became glittering woodland fairies, while Werewoles became big huggable Siberian dogs!
Vampire Mania much!....How do today’s blood suckers stack up to those from the past, like Dracula, Angel, Viktor, Akasha and Lestat? I say, Edward and the Cullens are losers. Glittery vampires?!...
For starters, I am an Anne Rice fan but that didn't stop me from buying the Twilight series written by Stephanie Meyer. I have read the Twilight series. Grueling all four books! It came to me as boring while I found the Vampire Chronicles exceptionally beautiful written literature. Once you get hold of a Vampire Chronicles novel, you will get transported to a different world and a Millenia of history.
Queen Akasha and Lestat
The Vampire Chronicles have original and interesting main storyline(s) plus many, many interesting and colourful histories on the side. Such the story of Louis and Claudia, then Lestat becoming a rock star for the fun of breaking the rules as extremely as possible and happens to wake the vampire queen. And as for the "side storylines", more or less side those of as in fact these are the very bases to the other ones; Lestat's entire mortal life, his and Nicolas's story, the story of the Twins, Marius's story... There's so much and indepth in the Chronicles and it all links together in one way or another.
Bella and Edward
While Twilight is a teen fanfiction and less thought written by an inexperienced writer as compared to Anne Rice. There is only one storyline about an impossible high school romance between a human-ordinary-always-smirking-girl and a "vegan" vampire.

With all these hype in Manila about Twilight: Eclipse movie showing and getting blockbuster all time high... I can't help but feel dismayed. I want my vamps bloodthirsty, scary and evil and not de-masculinized! Edward looks gay in glitters! That reminds me, I need to finish Sophie K's novels and go back to Anne Rice's. oh why! Why did she have to become spiritually awakened and stop writing dark gothic literatures!? I like her evil.

My Happiest Place on Earth

Call me a geek or a bookworm..... but yeah unlike other people who would say DisneyLand....., my happiest place on earth is either in a bookstore or a library where I can indulge in reading a good book, be peaceful, meditate, think, emote, and be able to wonder and experience different worlds! I am soooo in love with the smell of books. Every after lunch, my officemates and I would go to this bookstore at the ground floor of Megamall and browse through all the newly delivered and on-sale books. They are cheaper like 50%-70% cheaper because they are second hand but still in very good condition. I dunno what spells do these books hold on me, but I can spend a whole day inside a bookstore browsing titles and reading novel synopsis without getting bored. I am usually attracted on fiction and suspense novels and self-help books. (I am NOT into romantic novels and I secretly loathe seeing Danielle Steel and Harlequin ones..... I dunno why. Maybe because I already know that there are no happy endings..... only happy and contented couples. Naks!) 

By the way, I am a sucker for Anne Rice novels and Harry Potter Books (I own 2 hard bound HP books and plan to complete them - the hardbound ones, eventhough I've read the whole series over and over years ago). Also, Sweetiepie♥ bought me the whole 4 books of Twilight but found them too boring that it took me 2 years to finish reading them. Last Christmas, my bestfriend Mae gave a Sophie Kinsella novel (Remember Me) as a gift and I only finished reading it last month. It seems to me that the older I get, the harder it is to stay awake reading one book! Sign of aging na ata to! O_O   Anyhow, I'd probably post some book review of that novel but I'm still finding a time to write a good one. Too busy these days. An officemate lent me 2 Sophie Kinsella novels (Can you Keep a Secret and Undomestic Goddess) and they are still on my lists of books to finish. My goal is to get them back within this month. 2 books in 1 month not bad eh?  (That's if I can squeeze them with blogging, movies, tv series, and sharepoint projects at work!). Another weird fact 'bout me, 3 of the items in my "To do list before I die" is to finish reading all of Anne Rice novels,  finish reading all the list of Classical Books, and finish reading all the books that Jose Rizal read. Quite a task eh?....Something to look forward to as I get older. ^_^
