THANK YOU MRS. CORY AQUINO

This epilogue represents my personal thanks to Mrs. Aquino.

I may not be alive the time President Cory served our country but her legacy lived throughout the present generation. Mrs. Aquino has been a good leader and a role model for all of us. She was not only a mother of her own children but also to our countrymen. She devoted her life helping everyone especially those in need. Mrs. Cory Aquino was simply, inevitably admirable.

My grandparents were grieving over the death of the deceased president. They had been active during the Martial Law and had been part of the EDSA Revolution. My grandfather had served the country as a policeman but was one of the people who were fighting for democracy during the rallies in EDSA. And like my grandfather, Cory fought for the right of the country, not because she has to due to the death of her husband Ninoy Aquino but because she wants our country to be free from the cruelty of Marcos and His dictatorship. Maybe because it was her call of duty from God, and maybe because she just wants to…

President Aquino’s bravery is one-of-a-kind. She stood up for everybody’s rights. This happened after Ninoy was shot in the tarmac of Philippine Airlines, and Marcos was said to have him killed because Ninoy was Marcos’ number one critic at that time. And in the midst of all these war, Cory stood strong, with strong faith in God. Even without the presence of her own husband, she went out there and voiced out what she’s been fighting for. But she was not alone. And she knows it. She goes to EDSA and sees all these people fighting with her, fighting for the right of mankind, fighting for freedom, fighting for justice for all the political killings during the Marcos regime, fighting for the economy, fighting for the release of media, fighting for life-not only hers, but for the life of everyone.

Mrs. Cory Aquino is one remarkable woman. A fine lady with a heart of a lion and the strength of man. A devoted catholic who prays for the needy, the sick and the weak. A woman who does not only think of her own sake but of others too.

I want to thank President Cory Aquino for helping achieve the freedom that I am experiencing right now, for fighting for democracy so nobody in my generation would live in fear. I want to thank her for lending a helping hand to those who need it. Our family had been one of those she helped. My grandfather, a retired policeman, was given a housing during his service to the force. What our family received was little compared to the numerous blessing Mrs. Aquino has shared to the Filipino people.

So kudos to you, Mrs. President. You had been God’s blessing to all of us. You are worthy to be recognized for your kindness. May you be happily eloped in the loving hands of the Lord, because you deserve it.

“Ninoy: The Filipinos are worth dying for. Cory The Filipinos are worth living for…”

your legacy will live on as we, the new generation, take your place in serving the country...

BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Recently I've been getting connections from people that had been part of my past. Friends, acquaintances, persistent admirers and the like. One of which had been my best friend, then turned boyfriend, then turned friend then turned plain acquaintance. The other one had been a friend whom I've not been really in touch with for quite some time... and I don't really care. haha. Well he's been a frequent commute-mate, and nothing more than that. And I've been hearing from close friends whom I've not been really in good terms with, but hey, I can't stay mad at them. They're great part of my life and I love being with them so whatever bad happened between us is sooo yesterday.

There's just one person who I really don't want to hear from. Just hearing the name gives me nightmares. The person used to be a huge part of my life and now that I'm reminded of "IT" makes me feel indifferent. I'm the type of person who doesn't regret things that I've done but there's this part of me that doesn't want to be part of that past anymore. If I could only erase that point of my life that I've been with "IT," I'd probably would.

I refer to the person as "IT" because I don't want give specifications regarding "IT" and "IT" is sooo inhumane, rude and insane all at the same time, and I can't imagine myself seeing "IT" and be apathetic. "IT" is so naive and narrowminded as HELL!

But if not for "IT" I wouldn't be meeting my present companion(and hopefully this is for keeps.)

MEN&WOMEN

"LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES. YOU KNOW IT'S FULL OF SHIT BUT YOU KEEP ON EATING IT ANYWAY..."

This line goes out to people who insists on loving someone even though it kills them. This goes out most probably to women who keeps on loving ungrateful bastards who take advantage of the love women are unconditionally giving them.

Life is unfair. Men and women are not created equal. Men are very irrational while women are very intellegent but are seldom wise when it comes to love. Men are actually more emotional than women but doesn't frankly express it. Women has too much love to give for a single man that it smothers them while men has too much love to give that he can love not just a single woman. Unfair right?

Let's define these two words: MAN & WOMAN:
WOMAN:(N) the less dominant in relationships because they let men manipulate them so that they can please them. Women tend to be very possessive at times but for the reason that guys are very ungrateful beings, they don't know how to appreciate a single woman's effort. Beings that would do anything and would sacrifice EVERYTHING for the unappreciative factory-defects called MEN.

MAN:(N) the dominant in relationships because men tend not to put their pride and ego in low profile. Men think that they should always be masculine-and when we say masculine, MEN and WOMEN have different definitions for it. For women masculinity simply means doing the ORNDINARY manly stuff, while for men, it means proving the other guys that because he's a man, he can get any woman he wants in a blink of an eye. Men tend to be very pathetic at times because they get too overwhelmed by the attention and love women are giving them.
Let's face the truth. The PERFECT MAN doesn't exist. Your knight in shining armor is busy laying-i mean slaying bithces,oh gosh i mean dragons. Even in Fairy Tales where we think fantasy takes place and things that are beyond belief comes to life still isn't perfect. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel... in books they all ended up happily... but the truth is, it is no different from reality. They all ended up with a player. They're all married to one guy-PRINCE CHARMING.

My boyfriend once told me: "Men are really hard to please, if we can only have two ladies at the same time, we would." Yep it came from my boyfriend and it hit in the face like BAM! It came from a man's point of view so generally speaking, men are really morons! They are really unbelievable! We should put men in our position and cheat on them to get even. We should let them experience sleepless nights, excreting bucketsful of tears, never ending heart-to-heart talks with girlfriends(which sometimes gets very very very annoying!), loss of appetite and having a heavy heart- the kind that makes you feel as if your heart fell inside your stomach and you feel giddy and crazy!

I'm not saying these things because i'm a feminist. I'm saying this as a woman who had experienced dealing with cheating boyfriends and can't believe that after I've given so much, they still aren't satisfied. Maybe next time I should do tricks like eat fire, do tumblings and splits to please them, but sorry, I ain't as stupid as I was before.
I think I've gotten my point straight. Men are naive, insensitive, greedy, selfish and apathetic. BUT the bottomline of this story is: WOMEN are the STUPID-est beings on earth for letting men treat them less than how they deserve to be treated. WOMEN keep on eating the chocolates even though it's bad for them.

AND I'M A SELF-ADMITTED STUPID WOMAN like how I described it above. And the sad thing is... I'm not the only one....

tryin' to be CRUELTY-FREE

It's exactly 12noon and i just signed up for PETA or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Yep, just did. I was honestly teary eyed when i first watched the video about the cruelty to animals. I study in Makati, near a KFC store. I was on my way home when there were these Asians giving out leaflets about Kentucky Fried Cruelty. That was the time I first heard about PETA.
This morning, I decided that I had to eat healthy and to live a healthy life. I was browsing through the net when PETA crossed my mind. And now, I'm officially a member of the said group. I can't be a vegan in days, it will take time to get used to it. But if it helps me, and if it does great help to mistreated animals, I may devote myself to being a vegan for the rest of my life.
You should help these animals too. I am not obliging you to go vegan in an instant. I am just discouraging people to watch what they eat and know the consequences of the things they do.
DON'T SUPPORT ANIMAL CRUELTY.
Animals are not slaves that you mistreat and kill, animals are not testing dummies that you use to test harmful stuff, animals are not coat hangers that you get your fur whenever you want to.
LOVE THE ANIMALS. THEY HAVE FEELINGS TOO.
