Me, again

I'm a thinker. I have always been. I overthink sometimes. It's what I do. I love to think. Good or bad, it's a given. I think about the news I see on TV. But do you know, despite its mostly negative messages, it's highly engaging for me because the TV News thinks about ME. Lately, I've been thinking about the latest US Government Turnover to its new set of officials, mostly President Trump and Richest Contributor/Official, unqualified tech guy Elon Musk. If it's not apparent to you, they're out to ruin the world as we know it...with their rash decisions on most anything. Just watch the evening news. You'll know what I'm talking about.   With hardly any thoughtfulness, Trump wants to make the disputed GAZA Strip his Riviera of the Middle East. Elon Musk on the other hand, wants to abolish the US Dept. of Education. I am a student for life. I've never held an office position for more than a year. I don't think I belong in that environment. The ...

As I peer outside my hotel window in the heart of Quezon City, I see a haze of the sprawling city located at the corner of the main thoroughfare EDSA and North Avenue. It is 7:43 am. An ice storage facility is burning to the left of my picture window. It’s a large effing cloud of black smoke.  It serves both as a reminder of what I’m up against today and what has transpired yesterday and the night before to bring about this covered-up arson from the same people protecting the so-called sitting government which is by now a sitting lame duck because of its record of ineffectivity, blatant corruption and outward policy of trying to protect only its family, or tribe as they call it…the tribe of the Kankanaey of North Eastern La Union and South Eastern Ilocos Sur.  Ang Bagong Pilipinas, their newest platform for National Progress shown on its government-owned TV Station PTV 4 is nothing but a program to alleviate not the lowliest and downtrodden, the ones left behind by progress an...

Now Showing pa ang MMFF pelikula na The Kingdom. Ang ama at hari ng kaharian na ito ay walang iba kung hindi ang kilalang komedyante na si Vic Sotto. Siya ang supremo ng Bagong Pilipinas.  Ang kaniyang ari ang tanging yaman ng kanyang kaharian. Lahat ng anak nito ay  kayamanan din niya. Sa mga reviews na lumabas, para sa isang komediante, napagaling ng kaniyang performance bilang isang serious actor. Walang katarungan sa Pilipinas at lahat ng batas para sa mga ordinaryong mamamayan ay hindi naman napapasatupad. Mga pamilya lang ang nagpapalakad ng kanilang sariling pamilya na para sa kanila ang tunay na tulong nila sa bayan. Kung siya ang padre de pamilya at hari ng kanyang kaharian, magpapakamatay siya alang-alang sa ikabubuhay at ika-lalago pa ng kaniyang kayamanan. Gawin mo para sa iyong mga anak, ang nalalabing pag-asa ng bayan.

By now, my appreciation for Art has only deepened. I have reached a point when I can no longer live without it as Art gives me life, love and respect or appreciation. Without Art, Life has no meaning and without Love. I appreciate how the Renaissance has turned Jesus Christ in their own European model and face. They have actually given him a face one can appreciate. I am no diehard fan of Jesus Christ the Man himself as he was an ordinary, common misfit in His time. I follow His teachings because it comes naturally for me to follow what is Universally true and what actually works and not every morsel of wisdom in this world was his original thought. I personally have no motif for celebration for Jesus Christ this Holiday Season. I think it's a scam. Christmas is for nitwits. Renaissance Art of Religion far moves me to divination. So Fuck Off, Jesus Christ beside me. Fuck off or Jerk Off!  Your undying, unrelenting envy of all of my being will be your own undoing, not mine. So wi...

A fictitious account by Miyazaki. Once upon a Haiku, there were two sisters left in an old dilapidated house left by their father as their only refuge from the cold bitter world of the RAT. One worked for a living. The other stayed at home taking care of a disabled person, both their nephew. One was a functional member of the RAT. The other WAS not! The working sister had plenty of money to collect in her den. The other had virtually none. The other was carefree and didn’t think much about money but enjoyed her life to the hilt by being friendly to all that she met…while the working one was responsible and money-assured but kept most to herself and a select few she considered close friends. One day, the one with virtually no money RAN out of it…buying things for herself and gifts for her friends. The one with plenty still had much to spare but did not give to her sister and their nephew at home. What do you think happened? Try and figure this out while Miyazaki thinks about it.

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...
