A Gift of a Book

I felt I needed this book for mental stimulation...in lieu of an erratic Time Magazine subscription renewal?  IDK but it's just right for my 53rd birthday tomorrow.  It's basically a collection of thought-provoking essays I wish I had read earlier in my life.  Of course the book was only published in 2012!


Here's the Amazon link!

Enemies at the Gate: The Philippines is going down.

Instruction Manual for my Enemies at the Gate: 1) David Celdran (D) [Popular] 2) Jennie Cacal (J) [Payatas] 3) Jess Ramos (F) [Unpopular] Step 1: D go to F Step 2: D Suck Cock of F Step 3: Ask and you shall receive. Ask for Semen Step 4: Use your mouth Objective: Be useful to me, Useless People. Tagalog: Huwag kayoing aabang-abang lang ng biyaya. Gamitin ang Bisaya. ===================== The Philippines is going down. Don't tell me it isn't. Recent developments have been a constant reminder. Just watch the daily news. The Philippines is literally, figuratively going down. Our Family is going nowhere. The love we have (or never really had) is gone. I just don't know about the rest (of my siblings) but I don't see the love in them at all. The only family I truly have is Macoy and as my guardians at the gate may see it, he is truly an expendable. Nevertheless, I spend my days still trying to offer him kindness, with a projection or hope that life, soci...

Let's Win

Image
Lets’ talk about Winning now  Because people today seem to either have an obsession towards it or simply can’t break through.  (Spoiler Alert= This one is replete with idioms) Apparently, because I really haven’t really thought about it too much, I’m not obsessed with winning at all, sometimes you come to a point in your life when you really have to win out of sheer necessity. And this is the perfect time to do it and with things happening in our global scene, a perfect storm as they call it. Necessity being the mother of invention, I really have to win this time. I’m not going into specifics. I would rather go into how one would go about it…winning and maybe, I’ll have my personal breakthrough as well. How I consider myself is as a results-oriented person . I have no obsessive compulsive traits about me. I’m not even a workaholic like mommy who pen-pushed her way out of life. I just like to exercise my contraptions at hand. Here are three words that get you going: juggling, ...

The Mang-Uusog! Ang Maamoy na Talampakan ni Mr. Ramos.

Image
I ordered a bunch of Macdonalds goodies that I’m having a hard time eating in my own bedroom because The Mang-Uusog is intent on making my meal a very difficult one to digest…as if telling me I should give some to him and his minions. I already gave some Spaghetti I cooked last week to his dilapidated tricycle parked outside our gate. This is my first decent meal of the day at 3:36 in the afternoon. It's a difficulty when the one guarding you insists on a life of poverty, being borne out of poverty himself. I don't mean to discriminate against the poor, just the ones who make themselves felt as such. I just hate putting good? food to waste. I don't really like MacDonalds but the maid insists on cooking me food fit for an Azkal. Sometimes I wish I was permanently out of his gaze. I swear I'll make this a reality soon. It (the entity) doesn't deserve me and I certainly don't deserve a Man of Poverty. Earlier today, after my "non-lunch", I was shouting m...
