I have finally made up my mind to really grasp to accept how unfair the world is. Imagine staying in line for 3 hours for nothing but false hope and these dumb people making a quick buck and also at the same time laze around and wait for it all to get to you :( First, please please PLEASE, may the ticketing system be a little fair to those buying tickets for the next Azkals game on 28th. Imagine nearly a hundred people in line and the line stays like that for hours and at the end of the day when you step to the counter, finished, what you stayed in line for and waited for, is FINISHED!!! I don't think there should be anymore seat numbers, because 1) people think that closer is better, PLEASE!! 2) and please consider others who are also standing in line for hours, while you take your sweet time choosing a spot 3) if you're gonna go there just for the "FACT" that you're gonna go there, then you don't deserve your tickets. It's a FOOTBALL game, not a fashion show. EYES ON THE BALL, NOT JUST THE GUYS!!! Others are actually there to support our football, and give the support the team has deserved for skills, not for looks!! Let's not spoil the name of football by turning it into another, crazy fad and when they make mistakes, are you still gonna be behind them?? Another issue brought up by kuya in line with us where the fact that people buy the cheap tickets and sell it for THRICE their price. How about those who stood in line and were disappointed; ever thought about them for ONCE??!! Yes, life isn't fair for everyone, but who ever told you that burdening others will get you to SUCCESS?? Hmmm, I don't normally post thins like these, but I hope people are aware of those destroying the game. If our PLAYERS weren't all good looking, would it make the lines shorter?? Would it make those buying tickets and abusing the price disappear?? If you truly support the BEAUTIFUL GAME, first, learn the rules and finally love it for the GAME and not for the GUYS. If ever I don't get tickets in time, I'll still be watching at home with pride, win or lose. I'll still watch the next games, I'll still stand in line for hours; wanna know why? Because I AM a fan. God bless the team...

Sociology class was quite an interesting class.I have always admired learning how a social group works and how it seems to affect our lives. Our project for the sem is to make a documentary about social issues, and we got poverty. Yeah, I know the word that is cousins with hunger,sadness, homelessness and all that other stuff, but when you actually start doing it and 'socializing' with the people under the cloud of poverty, it paints a totally different picture. You'll hear heartbreaking stories of families left behind and that their source of income can only be streched for so far that sometimes eating is the only thing that they're actually working for. Their kids go to school, basically public and have lunch money of 3pesos to 10pesos, imagine people who eat lunch and have something else after that. Are we not lucky? I think it's really more meaningful if a person was to live for a cause that will make very much sense. To live is to know that you're making a difference in th world and the life of others. At the end of this documentary, I wanna be sure that we'll be able to give these people hope and also show others that if all row the boat at the same time, we can change the current of life. We are the change, nothing else...

In the office one day, they told me to watch a movie called "Taken" and so I did, to my surprise, I nearly couldn't sleep wathing the movie. No, it ain't a horror movie but it's about how women are 'taken' against their will and sold as prostitutes against their will. The criminals would drug them and then tie them up for men to ''enjoy''. It was a sad sight to see, but I watched it to understand it. More than millions of women are trafficked from countries in Asia, Africa and even Europe and America. Our government are taking major steps to avoid our fellow women to be dragged into this kind of life, but how sure can we be that they're not involved? In a modern civilization, money speaks louder than any human right, but that's what we should all fight for, what we should all stand for, because if we don't, then, who will?? Everyday at least 60 women are forced into human trafficking and 90% of them will be in the sex trade. Someone's mother, sister, aunt or even daughter is out there making another tycoon rich, and yet we sit in our cozy homes doing nothing. The CNN has lauched a 'HOPE' campaign for people to stand up against trafficking and slavery. They encourage us to send pictures or videos and so I did. With this being said, I hope you do too, save a mother, sister, daughter, girl; woman. God bless. It's time, to stand up...

After not being able to blog for eons, I have been approached by a friend and so today I blog. Let's see, LPU is now in the NCAA, props to the school for finally getting us involved. Opening was definitely the bomb, aside from the fact that Mr.Manny Pacquaio was there haha :) After that came the most epic game in football history where the Azkals destroyed the Sri Lankan Brave Reds with a 4-0 win for the Brazil World Cup Qualifying game. Our next opponent is Kuwait and as the days pass by, the team will take a break and continue their hardwork to make our country proud, especially in the field on football. I've always been waiting for feedback about the football games that LPU will be playing for the NCAA. I was never a jock in my span of life, but lately I seem to learn more about what sports really do for a social community. Aside from raising great athletes, we also learn discipline, a mutual respect and of course honor to whatever color we wear. A nation will an should stand by it's athletes both it times of triumph and in times of defeat for the world is round and victories along with defeats will always continue to cloud our lives, but it will definitely bring both sunshine and rain. There are still numerous events I'm waiting to go to with beloved friends and family, but for now, exams are just around the corner so I'd have to get my act in place. For now, I'd like to give a shout out to the LPU Pirates "VIVA LARGA PIRATA" and to the AZKALS, you can count on it that "WE BELIEVE" and will continue on, for we have faith in you. God bless...

Philippine Azkals and LPU Pirates FTW!!! :)

This is a little... uhhh article?? About my interpretation of how Batman feels and thinks. Comments or criticism is well appreciated, this is purely opinionated. Enjoy.


Cold. Tonight feels different; the cold winter air is biting my skin even under my mask. Another tragedy up west. Luckily, Gotham P.D got there in time, that kid's been missing for weeks now; she didn't deserve it. Despite the smell of heating radiators and melting snow, I still smell the corruption of cops and officials here. I'll have to deal with them with the best way I know; with fear. Is justice still worth fighting for? Somehow, it seems impossible to see a change, but ironically, saving one life can mean more than saving many at one time. The citizens here are silent yet their screams and shouts for justice keeps me up at night, which makes me stay on patrol longer than I'm supposed to. Gotham is beautiful, but no one can really appreciate it since they're all too afraid to walk in the streets. The youth I see makes me sad, how can they be our future generations leaders? Will we really leave our fate in the hands of kids pushing drugs and weapons? I can't let my emotions cloud my judgement. For years, I have trained to make my body and mind to be near-perfect, to keep me alert and in shape. The city's been quiet these past few days; the criminals probably grew tired of their futile schemes. I can't let anything else pass through the city. At times, I remember that criminals are people too, a distinct mindset or personality just sets them off to be an enemy of the law. In this city, I am the law; Gordon just keeps me at bay. He's a good man. Despite being commisioner, he's also a citizen, so he knows very well what the city needs. As long as the days still have nights, I'll continue my legacy for this city. My existance is but a shadow, a chill in the spine to some people. It's exactly how I want to be known. It seems even colder now. A storm seems to be coming in. For now, I'll deal with the storm in the city. The night has finally set in; time to get to work.

Pride? Is it wrong to be proud? Or is it an expression of things or people we love? Some people say pride can be a negative thing, but at times, it's exactly what we need. To sum it all up, too much of a good thing can be bad. I go to school 5 times a week now, I guess it gives me more time to understand and assess if my schools has been adequate for my young mind that needs the knowledge for a future. Anyway, people here,especially youth, talk alot about their pride in their country and school, only problem is, it doesn't seem to be in place. I even see this in the train on my way to school, or while I'm eating at a place. How can a student from a certain university wear a shirt or a lace from another university? Is this pride? More like trying to show off or ''pasikat'' as they refer to it here. I didn't really care but now it seems to be taking a toll, not only on our unity, but even are character. Our country is very fortunate to have great Universities; DLSU, Ateneo and UST to name a few, but that doesn't mean that we should wear their merchandise. Every school had their own, is it that hard to take pride in? Pride is love; to love your school and what it's values and traditions are, that's true pride. A friend of mine once told me he would really love to see this change, to see how our students are unified wearing only our colors and no one elses. I'm not a crazy obsessive person, I would just love to see more love for the school, more pride and most of all... unity. So the next time you plan to wear someone else's colors, be sure you know what your true colors are.

Justice... I grew up with the thought that superheroes fight for that, justice, but then as I walk through the roads of my motherland, seeing how people mouth off in the train, or swear at each other just for the fun of it, it makes me think... does justice exist? or is it just another dream or vision that man helped create. Isn't justice about organization, rights, fairness and integrity? Isn't justice about the fight against immorality against one another in the eyes of the law?

"Is justice still worth fighting for?"- Batman

Justice exists. Only problem is, it's covered by blood and money of people who can afford it. Justice seems to be something you can almost buy on Ebay or Amazon, to clear the statement; Justice is not for sale. I still believe that people deserve a fair trial, no matter what the case, sometimes letting our emotions get the best of us can really cloud our sane judgement. Emotions can be our worst enemy, or our closest ally, it's up to you to make the call, you're the captain. Fight for what's right, they always say, but how can a person fight if others are only limited to believing what they hear or see. Our democratic republic has freedom of speech, shouldn't we also have freedom of belief? Stand strong in your beliefs, my dear friends... Godbless...

I was never a metal fan, but somehow the late Francis Magalona said that to be a great musician, listen and support all kinds of music, cause they're simply intertwined and connected in progression and tempo, no matter how different genres are. Respect; simple respect is what we lack in music. Yeah we may love our own genres and scream out the words on the songs of our play list, but we forget to respect the music of others. Lately, I've come to understand the better side and complexity of metal music. I guess it all started from the catchy riffs of Metallica to the screaming and growling of Asking Alexandria. I do bid my two good friends Patrick Arana and Kurt Molina for sharing with me the concepts of Metal music. Funny thing is I saw a book about the truth of metal music, more of a history book and how it came to be, I bought t and gave it as a book to the two metal lovers I know. It's really more than just loud riffs, unorganized sound or grunting of nonsense, it's really really much more than that. You just have to try to listen and not hear. As for the Philippines, we have our very own metal music scene. Our very own Slapshock represents our country as an internationally known band and have worked with acts from Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Other bands like Stagnant, Kaikatsuna, The Lost Child, Sin and Typecast all are huge in the Metal music scene, whether mainstream or underground, we're all just appreciating, not hating. To all you metal listeners and lovers out there, a hats off to you, as for those who still think they know music, unless you love all kinds of music, you wont get far fallinf in love with it. Don't hate, appreciate... Godbless you all... :))

This was a letter I wrote, in a form of a short story. It's actually an article for a cousin of mine included in their magazine. Enjoy reading it...

My dear,
It's been a long time since I've heard from you, I do pray that you're well. We're both aware about what happened with you and that guy. I hope that bitterness has not grasped your heart and carried you to change. You were amazing to him. Everything was great with you and him, things were simpleand comfortable, but even the greatest cities had to fall someday, unfortunately. He knew how important you were, he knew you're worth and what you deserved, but as the time passed and minds along with hearts were opened, he started to wonder. Love is about understanding and accepting differences whatever they may be. A mutual respect for any belief between the two of you that never could meet on the same page. He loved how much your faith meant to you, it wasn't your looks, but your personality and heart we're everything to him. Unfortunately, he had his own beliefs, things he couldn't simply disregard for it was all part of who he is. I do hope you understand that, and just because love ended, and dreams were broken, doesn't mean love is just a pipe dream; it just means that he was simply a teacher directing you towards your true future, even thiugh it's not with him. He loves you... so much. Godbless you and do take care. I'd appreciate a reply, whevever you prefer. Remember to live the life you want, it's still your dreams that matter. Farewell.



P/S: Forgive me for being that guy...

Is it right for a man to do right for the interest of his family?? For a man to actually kill? "Thou shalt not kill" , yet people believe in the interests and benefits of the family. "Never take sides against the family'' as Mike Corleone said in "The Godfather". Besides the fact that I haven't blogged in a very long time; I do miss it. Although, I have to say, things I say maight change a little, a different mindset but still the same person writing... and blogging. Well, a huge huge HUGE congratulations to "Pambansang Kamao'' Congressman Manny Pacquiao for winning his 8th title after beating Antonio Margarito; "The Tornado from Tijuana".Manny is also a family man. Despite the controversy surrounding his life as well as his family's, he still continues to love what he does and also to love his country. Manny showed that despite the other fight in the political field, he was not distracted and still continued fighting for what he loved in the first place. In the words of Don Corleone,''It's nothing personal, just business''. Godbless.
