Finger daw!

Pwede naman sigurong hindi "fingers" ang gamiting verb dito! hehehe

like "points" or "points a finger" or "names" or "pinned down"

Naiiba ang naiisip ko eh. ^_^

Something I hate

I really don't want to entitle my blog today as "why do I hate the Philippines?" since I really don't. I just hate it just because of one thing that my country has--the government.


When I was a child, in grade school, I looked at the Philippine government as a strong backbone structure that makes the country stand up. And maybe walk too. But as time goes by, as I grow old, as I open my eyes into the reality, I observed that there is something lacking in our Filipino government.


News about politicking, killings, corruption, embezzlements, grafts, bribes, ahhhhhh.... and much more, proliferated the Philippine government. From the President down to the bottom, these things seem like add-ons to the position.


First of all, I dont understand why suddenly many people wanted to enter the politics. Of course, for gaining power. Thus power comes with riches. They don't care if great power comes with great responsibilities as long as the former statement counts.

I hate to hear how the politicians stirs the political situation in the country. They always say that the key to a great economic growth was unity. What unity? They themselves are not united! No unifying factor for all Filipinos. Everyone's moving at different direction.

I just remember one article about Manny Pacquiao's bout. In that article it said that Filipinos were united to watch Pacman's bout even the rebels at the south. There were a few hourse cease fire because of a broadcasted boxing bout!

I am not saying Pacman should be the president of the country or whatever. What I am tryin to say is that there should be unifying factor for the Filipinos. Someone that can really lead.

Maraming laman ang isip ko tungkol sa himutok ko sa political situation ng bansa.

1. Inis ako sa mga mapagsamantala sa posisyon. People who always try to grab their political position. Yung feeling hari at reyna sila tapos ipapasa lang sa kamaganak or anak yung position. Tapos, if there would be someone trying to match with them in election, ipapa-patay!
2. Inis ako sa mga politicians na puro PR lang ang pinapakita. Hindi thinker, hindi din decision-maker. Most probably, dahil sa sobrang PR, mali mali na yung napapakinggang mga advices.
3. Inis ako sa mga politikong manggamit. Politicians who uses the oppressed and poor para lang maluklok tapos wala na.
4. Inis ako manunuhol and mangsusulsol.
5. Kainis inis yung nangungurakot para sa sarili nyang kapakanan. Tapos ipapamudmod sa iba then ico-cover up ang ginawa kapag nabisto.
6. Inis ako sa mabagal na proceso sa government agencies. Too much bureaucracy.
7. Inis ako sa mga walang paki-alam na politiko.
8. Sobrang inis ako sa mga politikong hindi marunong makinig sa nasasakupan nya. Alam nya lang makinig sa mga advisers nya kuno na ganito ang dapat nyang gawin.
9. Naiinis ako sa gobyerno natin dahil puro lang sa mahihirap ang proyekto nila na pinagkakakitaan naman ng mga mayayaman at ibang corrupt na opisyal. Pero binabale wala ang benefisyo para sa mga middle class.
10. Naiinis ako sa mga plastik na opisyal. Pakitang tao.
11. Sobrang inis ako sa mga pulitikong SOBRA ang ambisyong pasukin ang pulitika para umasenso lang buhay nya (that means gagawa ng paraan para humugot sa kaban ng bayan) or lalong magpayaman at lalo magpahirap ng mga mahihirap.
12. Naiinis ako sa gobyerno natin dahil hindi nito binibigyang halaga ang lahi ng Pilipino. Umaasa lagi tayo sa trabaho na binibigay ng ibang bansa. Tinuturuan tayong magpa-alipin ng husto sa ibang bansa. Inilalagay lang ng gobyerno natin sa isipan ng mga PIlipino na mahirap lang talaga ang bansa kaya kung gusto mong umasenso, lumipat ka ng bansa.
13. Nakakainis dahil hindi nageeffort ng husto ang gobyerno na tulungan ng husto ang mga taong gustong magpalaki ng kabuhayan ng PIlipinas. Bagkus, mga dayuhan pa ang nais nila na mamuhunan ng malalaki sa bansa dahil sa kikitaing revenues para mas malaki rin ang kukurakutin nila. Puro small and medium enterprises lang ang inoofer sa mga PInoy samantalang halos lahat ng big enterprises ay para sa mga foreigners lang.
14. Nakakainis dahil hindi diversified ang government natin. Yung ibang position na ina-appoint lang eh minsan hindi appropriate or dahil lang nagbabayad ng utang na loob dahil sa pagkakaluklok nya.
15. Naiinis ako dahil ang State of the Nation Address lagi eh puro pangako lang at hindi yung GOAL at vision ng pangulo sa bansa. Pangakong mabababaw. Hindi malinaw para sa akin saan ba patungo ang bansa. Ang daan ba sa industrialisasyon? o mageexcel tayo sa agricultural business? or lagi lang tayong magpapadala ng mga OFW para alipinin ng ibang lahi tapos sasabihin dahil sa remittances nila kaya gumaganda ang economiya pero hindi bumababa ang rate ng bilihin? or magbobombahan na lang para marami ang mamatay tapos magtuturuan kung sino or ano ang dahilan? or manonood na lang ng Marimar hanggang maging tao si Fulgozo?

Thought on human intelligence

This is a re-post from my OLD OLD OLD blog. I have written this when I was still in KAIST.

Human cloning is one subject that got my attention. I find it a crazy idea when skepticscientists believing so much of themselves and what they can technically do that they started acting and playing like God. Several years ago, when the first cloned sheep named "Dolly" was first made known to the world, I anticipated that it will only be a predecessor of a more complicated and advanced cloning.

True enough, I wasn't surprised then to have read from the newspaper articles on scientists doing scientific attempts to clone humans. To date, I haven't heard of a reported clone human, but it made me laugh when a Korean scientist admitted in public that he falsified research documents claiming to the cloning of human embryo. Hahahaha. How foolish it is for so-called genius scientists to be overshadowed by their intelligence and started feeling superior over the Divine Creator.

One day, I received an e-mail from an officemate, it reads as follows:

Scientist said, "Lord, we don't need you anymore.We are already as intelligent as you. We know howto create man. See we can clone humans."

So God said, "Really, so let's have a man-makingcontest. Let's do it the way I did with Adam."

The scientist agreed, and then he started to pick up somedust.

But God told him, "No, you make your own dust."

Truly the wonders of science have made impossible things possible. But for me, nothing can surpass the wisdom of the One up there who is the ultimate source of wisdom. I can't blame the scientists when they think too much of what they can do. After all, most of them don't believe in God.

It made me utter words of thanks that I wasn't endowed with much intelligence like most scientists have, because if i do, I might not feel the need of God.Imagine a glass full of water. Even if how many times you'll pour water on it, it won't be contained in the glass - it will just overflow. Simply because there's no more room for additional water to fill in.

The same holds true in these case, when people believes so much of their intellect, knowledge, power and skills, there will be no more room for additional inputs. Teaching them will be a hard task.It really takes tons of humility to empty oneself.

Let us just pray for those people who don’t feel the need of God in their life to realize that God created humans not just with a brain but with a heart. That amidst the extraordinary things they can accomplish, still there are mysteries in life that can't be fathom by human mind.

Amoy-PAA!!!

A roommate was killed over "stinky feet"
Link --> Mabahong Paa

Reading this reminded me of my roommate when I was in KAIST. I wont tell his name since this is quite humiliating. :P

One time, when I was in the living room, suddenly he took off his shoes... DARN!!!! really, smells like dead-rat-or-I-really-don't-know-kind!!! BUT it really stinks! STINKS... after so many months of shutting my mouth, I blurted one day.... "YOU're feet a LITTLE stinky, didn't you know?" He said, he knows but he doesnt understand why. So being a Chemical engineer and had access to a chemical lab.. I said, i will try to help him.

I prepared a hydrogen peroxide solution...normally it is about 10-30% volume..but I made 70% for his feet! LOL... then another solution made of Iodine (almost same with Betadine but diff. concentration). I told him to sit on the toilet bowl while soaking his feet on a basin of H2O2 + hot water + C3H7OH solution for 20 mins.... then another 20 mins for Iodine solution.

Syempre, hindi naman hihinto lang dun... SO told him to ALWAYS change socks EVERYDAY... not every week... and wash them properly! JOLOGS kasing maglaba din yun eh. kaya siguro yung ibang bacteria naiiwan pa sa medyas!! hehehe. Madugyot style!! :P

So I noticed at some time, nagiimprove na yung amoy hindi na SOBRANG stinky but at least before he left our Apartment, I think hindi na umaalingasaw yung paa nya sa baho! :P Mahilig pa naman nyang itaas yung paa nya sa sofa at dun sa Computer chair!!! nyahahahaha

Pero...buti na lang hindi kame nagiinuman nung time na sinabihan ko sya na mabaho nga ang paa nya dahil kung hindi.... baka ngayon dedo na ako sa saksak!!!! :P

Friend, if you are reading my post, Please don't read!!! [ANO DAW?!?!?!]--> just an Oxymoron.

NEWS: GOD sued!

Link: GOD sued

Another ridiculus actions man can do....
I can't believe such a US State Senator tries to spend much of his time and PEOPLE's money to a preposterous idea of filing a suit against GOD.

I think you can prosecute someone when you have a legal basis to do so. If you have evidences trying to prove your prosecution, then sue... I can't believe that some person such as Nebraska's Senator can find evidence against GOD, whom we know exists because of our Christian's faith.

Maybe that senator have faith in God since he believes that God really exist, only... he hates GOD because maybe some bitter truth is planted on his BAOng utak!!!! hehehe..


WWJD? ---> What would Jesus do?

Pero buti na lang... dandadannnnnnn.....
GOD has an attorney too!!!!

Link: GOD's Attorney in defense

Kahit na frivolous ang mga case... good thing there are people trying to win good cause.
Hehe.

Derogatory remarks on our FILIPINO MED. workers (i.e. FILIPINO doctors)

CLICK the link: --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR6g1Sxti1E

This is preposterous!!!!

So what if a doctor graduates from A MEDICAL SCHOOL in the Philippines?
Feeling threatened by the reality that Philippine Med school's at par with American Med School? Haha... Those people are just sullen to the reality that hardworking Filipino MED students can make it to the top.

I chide the statement of that show.... they are just too DESPERATE to write a script that will give them good damn attention.
