PUPPY - CRUSHED, TORTURED and KILLED: NO TO ANIMAL CRUELTY !!!

 

Almost twenty minutes of brutality – kicking, stomping, trampling, treading, and jumping.

A very disturbing video is currently doing the rounds of social networking channels, shared by concerned and at the same time enraged individuals who wanted justice for the victim, and for the authors of such inhumane acts to face the music and be held accountable.

Something About You :)

 SOMETHING ABOUT YOU
by JTF Solivar


There is something about you,

That makes me crazy about you.

And every time I think of you,

I desire to be near you.

Your face is simply gorgeous,

And it makes my thoughts quite outrageous.

Your eyes shine bright,

Which melt my heart just right.

You have a beautiful smile,

That makes me walk a mile.

Your nose is so fine,

I hope I can touch it with mine.

Your lips look kissable,

Which make my nights so miserable.

Your body is a work of art,

That excites the core of my heart.

Your skin is so fair,

That makes me smile with flair.

Your hands are so nice,

With my hands they add spice.

Something in the way you move,

Gets me into the groove.
Something in the way you speak,
Gets my emotion to its peak.

You are like one of the stars in the sky,

That makes my heart want to fly.
 Indeed, your presence is like a ray of light,

Which fills my soul with so much delight.

There is something about you,

That makes me so in love with you.

But I know I will never be with you,

For I know I am not meant to have you.

A Textbook Approach to the Zamboanga Conflict

The instability in Mindanao arising from secessionist or separatist activities is a major headache that is being passed on from one administration to the next. Last year, the Aquino government provided an initial cure to it via the conception of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro, a germinal step towards the creation of an autonomous political entity in Mindanao to replace the ARMM or Autonmous Region of Muslim Mindanao.

RENATO CORONA AT THE MILLION PEOPLE MARCH: WRONG MOVE!

What was he thinking?

Former Chief Justice Renato Corona showed up with his family in tow at the “Million People March” held at the Luneta Park yesterday, August 26, 2013. The Corona family first stayed at the lobby of a nearby hotel, then proceeded to the Luneta grounds shortly after.

I am quite glad to know that he too, is rooting for the abolition of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), or the “pork barrel” in layman’s terms, which is now being perceived by many Filipinos as the root cause of massive corruption in the legislature.

But was it ethical for him to have showed up at the event?

Somebody Walked Into My Life

Some people walk into our lives unexpectedly, just like a bird suddenly appearing on our window sill, much to our delight. This is one of those things that life surprises us with. So we let them in, and create memories and build life together as a consequence.

But not everybody stays for good. There are those who will stay only for a while, and therefore leave soon. And the sad truth is that in some situations, we continue to live life as if they have never left us, making us cling to the past – like a moth to a flame.

We engross ourselves with both blissful and hurting memories in the process. The heart remains hopeful that things will be reverted back to the way they once were. But the swift passage of time and greatening emotional distance make it not possible anymore.

Janet Lim Napoles and the 10 Billion Pork Barrel Scam : The Plot is Thickening

Janet Lim Napoles’ display of wealth remains unmatched so far, what with her fleet of luxury cars, grand houses nestled in upscale neighborhoods, posh condominium units, properties abroad, and numerous businesses both local and overseas. How she amassed such wealth is now the object of public scrutiny, the aftermath of an expose made by her cousin Benhur Luy, about some of the NGOs and foundations that she established which allegedly received hefty amounts of financial aid siphoned from the pork barrel funds of some legislators. To add more insult to the injury, such NGOs and foundations are existing only by name – dummies to put it straightforwardly.

And where did all the money go? Your guess is as good as mine.

The Gilas Fans & Francis Bacon's Idol of the Tribe

So how did you react when the Gilas lost the match to the towering Iranians during the FIBA Asia Championship?

It was a little heartbreaking for me and disappointing at the same time to see the Gilas missing their shots, which the Iranians took full advantage of en route to their FIBA Asia championship win. Unluckily, our Gilas players were not able to replicate their previous stellar performance which saw them finally overpower the mighty Koreans after several attempts before. On a positive note, however, our beloved country is already assured of a slot in the FIBA World Cup to be held in Spain next year.

Marian Rivera: Loyal and Grateful

 

Marian Rivera’s contract with GMA 7 is set to expire this month of August. As expected, this has set tongues wagging as to whether or not she will renew her contract with her mother network. Every time a showbiz personality’s contract with a TV station is about to expire or has expired already, people come up with their own guesswork pertaining to whether that personality will stay or will transfer to another station. But I guess this is only the case when bigger and brighter network stars are involved. Remember the time when Sharon Cuneta signed her earthshaking Kapatid contract to the tune of one billion pesos?

The Moral Accountability of Celebrities

Consensual sex I believe is the highest form of intimacy. It is an act of total physical and emotional surrender, wherein 2 souls, not just bodies, become one. As espoused, however, by socio-religious norms, sex should be consummated within the boundaries or confines of marriage. Unfortunately, ubiquitous cases of adultery, teenage pregnancies, same-sex relationships, sexual abuse, and other related cases, have made the concept of sex not as sacrosanct anymore. Over the years, sex has been perceived by many people as a mere mechanical commodity. Something that is always readily available, since many people are more than willing to provide such pleasurable commodity.

THE VOICE OF THE PHILIPPINES: Voice Over Looks?

I am quite addicted to watching The Voice of the Philippines. Like a moth to a flame, what draws me to it is my curiosity as to how the contestants will impress the judges with their singing ability and song of choice, and how the judges will react to them. What kind of song will each contestant sing? Who among the judges will press the button? I am not that interested though in finding out which judge a contestant will pick, since all the four judges are good in their own right anyway. It does not matter to me anymore which team a contestant would want to become a part of. The important thing I guess is that the contestant made it to the list, period.

Acts of Kindness

I am very certain that each one of us has already received acts of kindness from others at some points in our lives. But we all know that it is impossible to remember each and every one of them. Luckily, there are some that are jammed wonderfully in our minds and hearts. Such acts make us smile whenever we remember them, and smile even more when we remember their respective doers. In my case, it is quite uncommon that someone will walk an extra mile for me. It is quite rare for people to literally climb the proverbial ivory tower and reach out to me. I know that people find me unapproachable. So why come anywhere near me, much less lend a hand?
