LEts RoCK the VOTE

The TV Commercials these days is like a war between the Pinoy Politicos who seem to parade their achievements, showing to poor Juan that they are the popular choice of their paid extras. That they are the answer to the 90 million Filipinos who are growing by the dozen and by the day and they smile to every crowd, hugging even the most insignificant person on screen. But i bet you if i ask them right now the names of those persons, they do not even know them. Pity that the ever hungry Pinoy would readily accept a measly sum just to get a moment of fame in the silver screen with their benefactor who could care less about their names much more their plight, all because the money they get can feed their empty stomachs. Funny how our Politicians whose statement of assets and liabilities do not seem to coincide with their lifestyle are racing and screaming on television that they too were as poor as a rat, that at some point like them, they too have nothing to eat. Amazing how they claim to be the answer to this country's poverty and that they bring solution as to how we can pay our debts when they are already wasting millions from these advertisements while the money could have been used to help poor Juan.

This is Philippine Politics ladies and gentlemen..I say IS because this does not necessarily have to be the Philippine Politics tomorrow. Something must and can be done. It is time we take a stand on national issues. A good politician does not have to rant about what he has done, his deeds will echo it for him.. It time to vote..not just vote but LET'S ROCK THE VOTE!

Souls and Sirens

Don't you hate it when you hear a siren from behind the back of your car and then you panic to switch lane so the vehicle can pass only to know it's just one those "eyebrow-raising so-called who are you VIP" passing through.. and there you are all caught in the traffic..

Well, there is actually a law as to who can use these sirens.. and the rest are supposed to be ordinary souls like us... Reading Sassy Lawyer's Blog, someone tipped her off about this video and this is so true here in the islands..

The WinD BeneatH my WingS

SOTERO H.Y. BATHAN

April 22, 1933 - September 13, 2009

Meet my dad. Exactly a month ago he heeded to God's call for him to come home and i have been missing him so much since then. I owe him my life and every waking morning i will owe him even more. Here's a song that best describe who he is to me...

"Wind Beneath My Wings"


It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DADDY AND I MISS YOU....I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BEING THE BEST DADDY IN THE WORLD AND I WILL ALWAYS BE PRIVILEGED TO BE CALLED YOUR DAUGHTER.

RAIN RAIN

Woke up to a crisp, cold, rainy Tuesday morning and was amazed at how differently green the leaves are when it rains. With my booze of OWL Coffee i sit silently and listened to the rythm of the rain.. It's a beautiful morning indeed. And so tell me, how does one fight the urge to just stay in bed or home today?

thank God for COFFEE

Still about coffee... nevermind that i had a "so so" encounter at FUDGE yesterday. Its really not that bad and i should give them the benefit of the doubt afterall they just opened. (you might want to judge them yourself, they are at a.s fortuna st near peace convent)
Anyway, browsing through some blogs i ran into one that talks about COFFEE.. aah, im craving for one as i write this.. i can smell the aroma of a freshly brewed coffee.. now as i was saying, there's a blog that talks about coffee and i was glad it talks freely about it, to quote

"Coffee explores the environmental and social impacts of the coffee industry and recommends ways for consumers to make socially and environmentally responsible coffee purchases at the grocery store or in a coffee shop. Concerned about how coffee affects human health? Learn about the impacts of caffeine, the world's most commonly-used drug, on your body. Curious about how coffee became so popular? Discover its early controversial reputation as a "revolutionary drink," and consider the culture that surrounds coffee in the twenty-first century."


well there is a future in coffee... thank God for coffee.

CAFFEINE, anyone?!

I never actually had the chance to enjoy the weekend after all the catching up and make up classes, backlogs with work in school and in the law office ( Lord bless USJR and the firm..) and IBP matters.

Staring at the PC with booklets to check on the side, my BB that rings nonstop reminding me of my to-do list for tomorrow and the days' workload ahead i need to keep my sanity intact lest i bog down before i get things done.. I need a break and i need something to booze my energy, lift my spirit and perk me up! I need coffee and my doze of Starbucks.. and im headed there now, with my booklets for checking in tow.. Coffee anyone? :)

Waking UP now that September has ended

September has always been the busiest month for me.. It has been exceptionally so for this year. A lot has happened and im lucky to have survived it all. Life, despite its complexities remains to be a wonder and Im glad that the cycle is over, for now. I in turn await for another corner, another bend, another downhill..afterall what could be worst than September
