*This was supposed to be a Facebook status message but ran too long so I decided to make a blog post instead.* I think it's incredulous that people are focusing on how the Zamboanga conflict could be a conspiracy to cover up the pork barrel scam. Magsaliksik, magbasa, umintindi ng mabuti bago magbigay ng opinyon o ng haka-haka. Dahil ba maraming nagsasabi, maniniwala ka agad at ipagkakalat mo ang teoryang ito? Instead of speculating about this and that, why don't people just share HELPFUL information? If you can't say anything helpful, truthful, informative, or logical, shut up na lang please. Don't add unnecessary garbage into the discussion. Maayo pa mag selfie na lang ka kaysa mag emote emote ka hatag opinyon, wala diay ka nabal-an. I know we each own our own timeline and newsfeed spaces. And yes, I have no business telling people what to say or publish. Ang sa akin lang, let us not forget that the numbers we read or hear about are not just numbers. When the headline says 4 people died, 4 people actually died. IRL. This is not some pretend world we're talking about. Sana maging responsableng mamamayan po tayo. Kung wala man tayong…

My Top Mobile Games
Life can be boring, yes? If you have a short attention span like me, you need a little distraction even when occupied. Good thing we now have smartphones and tablets to drive away boredom. To take away my boredom or to keep me busy as a bee I like to download and play games on my Smartphone. Here are my top pick games for your smartphone and tablets. Bakery Story by Lava Games Available on iTunes and the Android Play Store. Build your Own Cake and Bread Empire with Bakery Story Game on iOS First off, pardon the busy, disorganized look of my "bakery."

Make-A-Wish Foundation Philippines
Over the years, I have realized that the best kind of happiness is one that comes from making others happy. It is pure, unadulterated, and lasting. And there's nothing better than making the most unfortunate among us smile. Make A Wish Philippines Grants 1000th Wish, photo from http://www.makeawish.org.ph/page-wish-stories.html The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation "to create hope and happiness for children with life threatening illnesses around the world." In the Philippines, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children in the country, whatever the economic status, gender and religion of the child may be. Children between three to eighteen years old who have been diagnosed as having an illness that is life-threatening, not necessarily terminal are eligible to have a wish granted. The goal of the foundation is to uplift the morale of children with life-threatening illnesses. Wishes may be simple or grand. Whatever it is, the Make-A-Wish Foundation makes it happen, through the generosity of their sponsors, donors, and volunteers. Erica Lei dela Cruz, on the photo up there, got the chance to work as a fashion designer with Filipino designer Rajo Laurel. She worked on her own fashion line and witnessed it modeled on the runway. It was definitely…
On Pride and Loyalty
Some people may call me proud. I burn bridges when necessary. Turn my back on people who have betrayed me. And I'm unforgiving to those who don't ask for forgiveness. It's not pride, I tell you. It's self-respect. I'd rather have few people around me than plenty of "friends" who choose to betray me, hurt me, and malign me. I know my worth and I'm uncompromising. You piss me off, disrespect me, become disloyal to me, you'd have to practically kneel before me so I can forgive you. I may forgive you, but I will never trust you again. So stop pretending like things are ok and we're ok. We're not. And pretending like we are will definitely win points with me. You might think I don't know the things you say about me. I know perfectly well how much crap shit and lies you say about me so you better shut your mouth. I'm the kind of person who does not deny my mistakes and wrongdoings. So when I say something is a lie, something is definitely a lie. Stop telling me things or warning me about other people. Stop thinking we'll ever be ok. Stop hoping you can…
My Top 3 Favorite Parokya ni Edgar Songs
Somewhere in the ether there's a photo of me with both Chito Miranda and Rico Blanco. True story! I was in first or second year college then and it was a music event at the Ateneo Covered Courts. The hottest band back then was Barbie and everybody was screaming their hearts out for Barbie. Meanwhile, me and my friend Angie inched our way to Chito Miranda and Rico Blanco who were seated somewhere on the side, introduced ourselves, had my photo taken, and got their autographs. I don't have a copy of the photo or the autographs. I'm a big fan of those two so it might just have been a dream. But I swear it happened. Tomorrow, I'll get another chance to get close with Chito Miranda and Parokya ni Edgar, my all-time favorite band since high school. They're performing live at Abreeza. And I have VIP Passes. HAPPINESS! I do hope there's a meet and greet session. Parokya ni Edgar Live at Abreeza I might sound like a big dork, but I really love Parokya ni Edgar. Like I seriously
