To those who have watched Avenue Q, I bet you know the line above (If you haven't I recommend watching it, there's a re-run in December, or you could download the soundtrack or watch clips in YouTube). The next line to the song would be Doesn't mean we go Around committing hate crimes.

I watched My Girl the other day in HBO and I remember how much I love this movie (and My Girl 2). I have a lot of issues growing up that i could totally relate to

This is probably my most favorite scene in the movie.

You probably have read blogs that are totally dedicated to something... like blog for travels - must see places, food - restos to try, movies, tv shows, celebs.. etc etc... The other day I was reading one blog dedicated to food and I felt a little envious (blog envy syndrome - hehehe)... Nice layout, really well written entries, with enticing pictures, a lot of people commenting something about the topic... why isn't my blog like that Hehehe (ingitera)

Then I thought if I'd be dedicating my blog entries to something what would that be?? Movies I watch? TV shows? Plays? or may be something techie?? But what do I know? Java? Cobol? Smalltalk? Natural? (wahahaha I think I have enough of that at work).

Oh well I tried of thinking one whole concept to talk about in my blog, but I really can't... I love too much of everything and I kinda write just about anything.. or else why would my blog be title as my not so humble opinion anyways...

Now I don't feel the envy after all, my blog is actually dedicated to something, and its me! hahaha! what a narcissist!

I really hate politicians in this country... ok maybe not all, just those people whom I have known to be trapos or mysteriously finds a way to manipulate the public for their own political ambitions. And sometimes I can't even believe that there are actually people who believe them. Nuts nuts nuts!

I think it is right to question the government's questionable dealings just like the ZTE deal with the Chinese government. I mean it could have been nice that we could improve our telecommunications lines and internet.. . but for one, we know that the technology they are offering is already being offered and is available here in some of OUR own companies, why invest your money to a foreign company. Kamo, dealing with the government means giving lagay on government officials. And the value of their lagay is like 1CYN=5.8PHP?! mas malaki yung value nung lalagay nila kesa sa local companies. Or maybe Philippine owned companies just refuses to make these under the table dealings anymore! Well they really shouldn't! And now is their time to be heard by Escudero, Lacson, Cayetano etc. etc. who have these political advocacies. And now the government is caught giving out questionable money. Hahaha, funny that its only Panillio who said something at first. Patarakaran na for sure what the money was for, why do you think the other congressmen are not reacting to it anyways??

With that said let me just say that I'm still pro-government. Yes, I do support the oppositions intention of exposing the government's finest corrupts however I don't think that impeaching the president is the absolute way of making this government (or the next or the next there after) straighten out. You know that the opposition is just striking while the iron is hot but I really think its a stupid plan that will leave us in more financial crisis. Given that Arroyo somehow was miraculously ousted, we'll be replacing her with De Castro, and I bet my million if I have one that they will likewise question De Castro's capabilities to run this government. He would be a much easier target. Then whats next? by this time probably they are already building some big shot Trapo politician again, who's rise to fame was paying up people to put him/her at the presidents seat and kissing a lot of asses and repaying them back with money from the governments pocket. Wow! this is politics telenovela style. No matter how it has been repacked, this story was already told several times (i.e. Erap's time) with a few unexpected twist the second time around. But still kulang sa pag-iisip kung what effect it brings the masa. Siguro they are doing this kasi bumabagsak na ang value ng dollar accounts nila against sa peso - well I know I was sad when that was happening when I was being paid in USD... hehehehe...

I love it that we have an economist as a president. Alam mong mukhang pera... hahaha... And I say that as a positive compliment a. I mean if you are investing your money, who would you give it to? An economist? or hmm, kanino ba...a Lawyer? An economist would know the financial market and where to invest your money, gusto niya kumita! Pera yan e! A Lawyer.... hmmm saan niya dadalhin ang pera ko? A! sa client niyang jueteng lord, para umikot ang pera! hahaha! joke joke joke! I'm just saying, think think think! Um, I really think the President thinks of us as Investment, and syempre if you are a product you sell your Product for profit hindi for losses. And a dropping economy is not a sellable product!!! Hindi siya makikinabang at hindi rin tayo makikinabang, we will be losers both ways. Kaya wake up! Impeachment is not a solution. Nuts nuts nuts!

But its really good that leaches in this government and the old baluktut ways are being exposed. Time for a change pero tama na ang people power chuvaness... we've done that several times ano na nangyayari, we never learn. Oks na ako na yung mga under the table dealings are being exposed. That should teach these leaches to know that their actions are being watched. Small positive changes.

c/o Jamih's DVD collection I got to watch Be with You movie

Have you watched Chances Are staring Cybill Shepard and Robert Downey Jr.

Weekend time for myself again! Yey! got to relax and read on what's published in the board sheets this past week...This article caught my attention.

Warning issued against airline ticket fraud

The gist of the article is that there is a scam going around, where some group of people are posting as travel agents, handing out flyers and selling airline tickets at a discounted rate, you pay them in cash and book your ticket online using a stolen credit cards... tsk tsk tsk...

The article is really informative especially if you do purchase your tickets through a 3rd party vendor. But this is what caught my attention: If the customer is unable to present the credit card at check-in, the airline will prevent the customer from boarding. And I find it unnecessary - or really not an efficient security precaution, in my (not so) humble opinion of course.

What?! What if I don't have that credit card anymore? I've purchased airline tickets 6 months in advance (airline early booking promo!) and during that 6 months I have canceled my credit card - cut the card and threw it away. Or the customer could have lost his/her credit card and got a replacement. Or a friend who has a really could credit line could have purchased tickets but isn't really going on this trip (yes, this is real life scenario people! I really know someone who booked tickets for a friend - credit card points!) Anyway, my point being, I couldn't find any rational why airline could refuse you of boarding if you couldn't produce the credit card you used to purchase the ticket.

Ok.. ok.. I think I miss read the article a bit... maybe took it out of context, but I don't want to delete what I wrote on earlier... I find what I wrote sheer rush of emotions (a little humiliating but still opinionated), and find it as hitting a target but I don't think that its target that I was suppose to hit.

Ok, here's what I understand now, so if and when the customer (who by the way is the victim in the scenario) was asked by the airline company to produce the questionable card that bought the ticket, he/she will be refused to board the plane. Did I understand it right this time? Well I hope so...So I guess I won't be complaining to an airline anytime soon...People be smart buyers, because you really can't believe what these crooks could come out with next.

I often find myself asking God, why? Why am I stuck here, now, with this family, with this life. I know I am better off than a lot of people out there in the world, but cant we all just be like those people who totally enjoy who they are and what they are in life? Did I just miss the line in heaven that says fortunate babies born this line please??

Maybe I was hoping for a really big mission in life... Um like saving the world, saving mother earth, saving animals, saving less fortunate children who have nothing to eat, making homes for the homeless... but you know, I just realize that its not what I'm here for, I'm just saving my family, or maybe just saving myself. I am no super hero. Really a constant struggle, why do I have to concern myself with these problems when I could be off somewhere for myself. Why God why?

Last week we had a very nice gospel in church, about the power of prayer, and the priest said often times we pray for Me, Myself, and I... always about us and never about others. Though I totally agree with him, I ask myself, who then will pray for my family, for my sake if not me, myself, and I? I know, I know, the whole gospel was simply saying that we should also learn to pray for others and not just about ourselves... but is my prayers anything less than if prayers where said for me by somebody else? Aren't my prayers good enough to be heard?

Hay Just having a really bad day. My mom calls it oppressions, I call it just lack of concern for others. I just really hate the lack of everything, lack of patience, lack of concern, lack of common sense, lack of understanding, lack of everything! Always about what they want and never losing on anything. Its always about an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth, never just about giving in more. And though I really want to say, I have enough already, I really want to pack up my things and say that I don't really need this in my life, I could really live my life on my own, I just really can't because this is family, and somehow God choose me to be here, now, and in this life, this is my family, I could have worse, I could have better, I don't think I have the strength in me anymore to change what they are, who they are...just trying to live this life, just have to take it all in, hopefully before God takes me he's good enough to make me eternally happy that I did something good with my life.

Oh and yah, just thought of sharing my problems so that in case you find me in the mental hospital, you'll know what made me snap, I have one or two distant relatives who have been confined in the looney bin, so could it could happen - whehehehe, this is me trying to be funny, trying to get the negativity out. Oh Lord we just all have times like these.

I was looking for KC's version of Umbrella.. happen to find this link below...
