Ramblings VIII: Sad Things

have you ridden a bus lately?

last aug. 23, the third killer bus of the week took the lives of 8 Hongkong nationals, and that of the hostage taker, in a widely covered hostage taking crisis at the Quirino Grandstand Luneta Park, Manila, which lasted 11 hours. of course it is very wrong to blame the loss of life to the poor bus (whose doors and windows have been pounded, and whose interiors have been showered with bullets and tear gas). the one to blame, that's a topic for another post (which i would not bother doing).

this is just to say something creepy. also, last tuesday, a tricycle was hit by, guess what, another bus.


a major major win

kudos to Ms. Universe 4th Runner Up, Venus Raj for her major major achievement. everybody's major majorly tired of that expression, really.

pointing game

as always, after something nasty (like a killer hostage crisis) happens, the following events is a series of termination, hiccups, and vomiting. better keep safe distance. and to the Chinese people, please, do not think of all Filipinos as hostage-takers. such actions (like the one DH terminated because of the crisis) are narrow minded and illogical and are leaning toward racism. we apologize for one misguided soul which claimed 8 more. however, that is not enough reason to judge a whole nation. the Manila police stood up to their reputation and acted stupidly, we apologize. our president chose not to act, but that was his call. what do you want him to do? go to the site and steal the show? or better yet assault the bus and take down the hostage taker himself? he acted accordingly, so please, stop calling him an idiot.

after all of this is done. we will all forget it. "we are a nation of forgetful people," and i don't remember who said that.

Magic musings

my officemate bought a deck. just an intro pack, and he keeps suggesting that Raging Goblin is good. please, help me convince him otherwise.

no picture taking, please. thank you.

for all those stupid faces taking pictures in front of the manila bus, please. do yourself a favor and get your stupid a$$ out of there. shameful, seriously.

Mamarazzi

watched this with my GF last night. Andy Eigenmann was so sexy and so beautiful.

the movie, well, i spent half the movie laughing, the other half trying to keep pace with the story. para siyang minadali na ewan. but it was a good laugh. with uge and sweet together, you'll never get wrong.

i'll be ending this with the full trailer of the said film and with the saying: ....................................

get it?

me neither.

P.S.

i can't find a trailer for this movie that's not linked to facebook or youtube (both sites are blocked here at the office). sorry. will update later.
