Baguio City Public Market Needs Police Presence

November 30, 2008

Baguio City – The public market of this highly urbanized city is in dire need of police beat patrol. Urgent action should be done if necessary to prevent the unrelenting high incidence of criminal activities in the area. Bad elements are doing their illegal activities in broad day light without any fear of being arrested because not a single policeman can be seen patrolling in the area.

Most cases being perpetrated by these bad eggs of society are robbery snatching and pick-pocketing. Their favorite object of desire are items such as high-tech gadgets, money etc. They pick their victims whom they see as an easy prey who carry their items carelessly.

Once they’re done with their surprised victims, the bad elements run fast directly into their hide-out located right at the eatery section of the public market. The stolen items immediately sold to some vendors and stall owners which they priced the stolen items cheaper.

The criminal activity happens daily from day-in to day-out. The bad elements, considered lost in the dimensional world of virtuosity, ply their trade unmolested by the long arms of the law.

Global Financial Crisis Affects International Labor Market

November 29, 2008

cruise_ship2After the US was hit by cold, the rest of the world got sick. And that is what happening now. All sectors were affected by the financial crisis and one of them is the international labor market. Many people from the third world countries are part of that market which has been the source of their income as labor migrants in the first world.

According to news reports, the worst hit is the manufacturing sectors and the crewing jobs especially in cruise ship sector. The economic crunch would make it hard for people to travel and instead tighten their belt and just stay home for good. As a result, demands on seafarers were randomly affected.

Export manufacturers were also hard hit because demands were not as robust since the world was torpedoed by the financial crisis which emanated in the US mainland. And so the world is hoping that, perhaps, US President-elect Barack Hussein Obama and his select economic team would be able to make an antidote to heal the ailing US economy in particular and the world’s economy in general.

Innocent and Unarmed Civilians Favorite Target of Terror Groups

November 28, 2008

The on-going Mumbai/Bombay terror drama only shows that the bigoted terror groups are nothing but simple criminals and murderers out to kill unarmed and innocent civilians. The terror groups masquerading as the bearer of their religious ideals actually are the worst kind of beasts that could demonstrate viciousness, extreme violence and unmerciful cruel minds so to speak.

Why not bomb strategic government and military installations if they are really fighting for a just cause? Why not kill government, military and police officials who are considered corrupt and human rights violators? Why massacre innocent and unarmed civilians without any reasons? Why tolerance and freedom to live curtailed just because it runs counter to their fundamentalist precepts?

Why on earth that this kind of incident happening when in fact almost everybody is calling the same GOD? Is there really God and why He is allowing people to kill each other just because of different interpretations of the heavenly teachings? Or is it Satan the Devil actually helping humans spreading wickedness in the guise of spreading the true word of God? Or is it religion the cause of all cruelty amongst men?

Public Officials Off to Vegas to Watch Hoya-Pacman Fight

November 28, 2008

Despite of global financial crisis and economic crunch, public officials in the Philippines will be watching boxing idol Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao in Vegas this coming December 06, 2008. The Hoya-Pacman fight in this “Sin City” of North America is part of the itineraries of public officials who loves to travel this time of the year.

The junkets will serve well on these public officials because the month of December is a celebration of sort. After watching the World Boxing Entertainment Hoya vs Pacman duel, may be these travelling public officials would be visiting beautiful tourist spots in North America and spend their dollars in style like no other.

Barack Obama’s Election Stir Heated Discussions in the World Wide Web

November 27, 2008

The US Presidential Election was already put behind the news but the historic election of Barack Obama continues to get rave reviews, negative responses and various commentaries from around the world. The netizens or the people frequently using the internet, seemingly, were the one emotionally moved and troubled by the victory of Barack Hussein Obama.

And all of a sudden people of different race, creed and belief and what-have-you started to add color on the already multi-colored victory of Barack Hussein Obama. People who fancied themselves as the followers of Nostradamus conveniently referred Barack Obama as the third anti-Christ called “Mabus.” The first was Pau Nay Oloron who was Napoleon and the 2nd was Hister who was Hitler.

The Nostradamus-believers further said that the end of the world will occur in 2012 as stated in prophesies the man had written centuries ago. Could this be dangerous rumors? Is Obama the “chosen one” to bring the world to apocalyptic events?

Of course not, countered the Obama-believers. According to them, all written predictions, prophesies and heavy-opinionated articles linking Barack Hussein Obama as the third Antichrist is a hoax. In all of these exchange of ideas, may be only history could tell who among the parties are telling the true story after all.

John Cleese, Who?

November 26, 2008

I really don’t know who John Cleese is, but one thing for sure is that he is an Englishman, a humorist and satirist to name a few. Curiously, I got interested on John Cleese partly because of his old political belief concerning the United States of America and the once mighty conqueror of the world, Great Britain.

In his own words, John Cleese dismissed the American people for failing to nominate competent candidates in the just concluded US Presidential Election. And because of this failure he wrote that ’we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).Your new prime minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.’

The message is clear. John Cleese, the Englishman, is trying to make a statement that the American politics had considerably changed since the Brits ruled America centuries ago. Obviously, Mr. Cleese was influenced by the great history of his motherland and that of the United Stated of America. He still holds grudge the way Americans kicked the British out of America. Are they not brothers in blood?

First Family under Fire from Former Close Ally

November 26, 2008

The first family headed by President Gloria Arroyo is under fire as former House Speaker Jose De Venecia accused the first couple of abuse of power. Congressman JDV, the one time staunch ally and errand-boy of the president and the administration, turned enemy of the first family.

The word-war started when JDV finally talked about his first-hand information regarding the shenanigans in government. It involves the ZTE-NBN Broad Band deal with the Chinese, the 500k bribery distributed to all pro-administration congressmen to kill the impeachment complaint in 2007, human rights violations, abuse of executive, legislative and judiciary powers and many more irregularities that the administration committed since it took power under questionable circumstances. But despite of the overwhelming evidence, the first family denied the accusations and called JDV as liar.

I Promise Not To Cry

November 24, 2008

reynalyn-chicoThe day I saw you I was charmed by your beauty

Never in my life to see a woman like you

It brings happiness every time I look at you

As the day passes-by I think about you

I want to approach you but timid is in me

I feel helpless to get you near me

Because approaching you intimidates me

How I wish to speak to you but hold-back the moment I see you

I envy the men always near and giggling with you

I know you are free and happy chatting with them

Your laugh is engaging as it seem

Enough! I told to myself, casting-off my timid self

I decide to mix gently with you and welcome me interestedly

I start sending messages to you, and you reply selflessly

We exchange messages the way friends should be

Until the time comes telling you how much I LOVE YOU

At first you seem okay reading my sweet-words

Giving me chances of getting-in to your world

But as the day goes-by your answer remains to be seen

Hoping that your heart will just be prim

Hoping against hope, my heart is waiting

And whatever happen I promise not to cry

Steps to Avoid in Courting a Woman’s Nod

November 23, 2008

Basically, people still believe the intrinsic form of courtship which in most cases remains as a way of getting into a relationship. And that is a fact. But in today’s modern world, changes had been a factor that influences the very form of courtship. And that is a fact also.

Courtship, in layman’s term and in my own understanding, is the expression of one’s feeling to a woman whom a man cares and loves. And that’s the most exciting part of it. However, because of modern culture that we have now, courtship in the truest sense has become more complicated than the previous times.

The following are some of the explanations based on personal experience taken from my old and recent encounter of courting a woman’s nod. I was actually rejected 3x.

THE DON’TS: 1.Do not expresses sincerity and truthfulness 2. Do not brag your clean living lifestyle 3. Do not say flattering remarks (ex. You are beautiful, simple, brave etc.) 4. Do not say the “I Love You” often because women of today are prone to “sweet-message” fatigue. 5. Do not impress her of your swear words, because, again women are easily annoyed by that kind of courtship tactics. 6. And last but not the least; do not fool your self that you will win her love hands down.

THE DOS: 1. Pretend to be somebody 2. Be gorgeous looking yet animalistic inside 3. Be superficially simple but rough inside 4. Be a talker and giddy to impress the girl 5. Speak like a rocker without seriousness 6. Be a lover boy because it’s the in thing. Women look for sexually active partners 7. Be armed with gadgets to take videos of your sexual tryst. 8. Be a cigar-puffing fellow to show your macho-like personality. 9. And last but not the least just plays the girl’s game and you will win her love.

The dos are based on actual interviews shared by indefatigable individuals I’ve met in gatherings and in trainings only recently.

Cancelation of Michael Learns To Rock Concert, Disappoints Fans

November 23, 2008

mltrBaguio City – The concert could have been held last November 21, 2008 and may be it could be the first for the city to host international artists at that level. But unfortunately and all of a sudden, the organizers made a press statement saying that the concert had been canceled.

The concert was already a done deal. Tickets had been sold-out and fans from the city and nearby provinces bought their tickets weeks earlier. The disappointed fans and Michael Learns to Rock fanatics were disappointed upon hearing the news.

It was said that the organizers and the foreign artists have had disagreement on the talent fee, which is the reason why the concert did not push through. Meanwhile, the organizers filed a formal complaint against Michael Learns to Rock for breach of contract in a lower court.
