Control What You Can

November 5’s US Election Results came as a resounding shock across the globe with the decisive win of the fascist Donald Trump and the inversely proportional, calamitous defeat of the remaining modicum of American democracy and decency, Kamala Harris. It had echoes of a disastrous, despotic, despicable and dystopian aftermath and to think we are only seeing the first few days of a newly-elected government. Just like anyone else, I was shocked and couldn’t believe that the majority of Americans legitimately voted for a person who would ruin so many lives with a promise of mass deportation of immigrants, a shameless disregard for the instrinsic rights of women, utter disrespect for the rights of homosexuals and transgenders to name a few…not even mentioning the eventual adverse repercussions to the Economy, both local and worldwide or even climate change. But what do I care? I’m not American. I’m not an immigrant living in the States with a looming danger over my possible deportation or

This FB Post deserves its own blog entry. Full Stop.

Listening and watching to Al Jazeera seems more logical to me than watching CNN these days. And listening to the wails of the Palestinian victims in Gaza comes across as louder and with more immediacy than any booming mic focused on that idiot Netanyahu. His paranoia is indefensible! I can only hope a member of his own team stabs him at the back to save the Holy Nation of Israel!

With Regards to The News

Let this be a Reminder to our present Newscasters, Journalists, TV Personalities, here and elsewhere with hopes for better programming. GMA Channel 7, this one's for you. I wouldn't post this if I didn't care. From Wikipedia: The Journalist's Creed  is a personal and professional affirmation and code of  journalism ethics  written by  Walter Williams  in 1914. The creed has been published in more than 100 languages, and a bronze plaque of The Journalist's Creed hangs at the  National Press Club  in  Washington, D.C.  Williams was the founding dean of the  Missouri School of Journalism . The Journalist's Creed I believe in the profession of journalism. I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of a lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust. I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness a

Today's Bible Passages (aka For the love of Macoy is the stuff of Daddy's True Legacy)

This blog is borne out of a phone confrontation between me and my sister/doctor regarding Macoy's worsening behavioral condition. I want to make it as pithy as can be. My sister’s so-called paranoid reassurance in dealing with others prompted by me calling in the Barangay (Local) Officials to the house… I really don’t care, do you? Sabi ni Ate, mag-ingat ka, gag-ganchohin ka lang nila...referring to my newfound friends in the gym. To be fair, although I may appear to be carelessly friendly to most people, I know what I'm doing and I practice discretion at all times but this is still sound advise coming from her. But now that I think about it, what a weird thing to say. Even my friends in the neighborhood she says are just acquaintances. It’s as if saying I should not trust anybody at all. I’m sorry but I still believe in the goodness in man, little though it may be…it still can be nurtured, for trust is the foundation of love. Besides, action speaks louder than words, sister. I

Justice Delayed Justice Denied

With all the celebratory goings-on at this Eve of the Paris Olympics 2024 and I’m still stuck at home with my guardian faggot outside who keeps waiting for something that he wants that will not come from me, something that will never happen, and something he does to keep me stuck in a place I have no business to be in right now because I know I deserve better…obviously better than low-grade him, I am all the more reminded of the crab-mentality pervasive in such a poor country such as this. Some trait he espouses and keeps him alive and kicking…like the crab that he is or even something more hideous. Just outside our gates, he is there waiting to pounce on me when I’m quietly sitting in our dilapidated dining room, gathering his band of Diwata helpers (squatters, his favoured minions) to make me annoyed with their ugly dicks and loud sounds, as if to say, hey, take a look at us, your reality. You belong to us, the dark continent the ones with the dark countenance. You may go out with yo

22 Filipino Athletes at the 33rd Paris Olympics

Image
After the onslaught of Typhoon Carina, we are left with watching the rainy day but highly engaging Opening of the 33rd Paris Olympics on You Tube  as only the French  Mesdames et Messieurs   can deliver (...thanks YouTube and Smart Sports! I miss watching TV5 Monde btw.)  As a matter of fact, it's a 4-hour live stream and I'm still not through watching it. It's in faraway France, and although it's also raining there, it won't dampen the spirit of the athletes especially the select 22 people to represent the Philippines (I hope) for it's only rain and the lovely river Seine. So here are the chosen 22! Here's your chance to redeem the Philippines' golden status on the world stage, if not simply enjoy your participation in the Olympics. Go Philippines!   Boxing, Rowing, Swimming, Weightlifting, Golf, Pole Vault, Gymnastics, Hurdles, Judo... Let's collectively cheer for them, shall we? For the full list of athletes, click here. * U p d a t e s: * Congrat
