When i was asked if i believe in Karma i answered “No i dont believe in any of that B.S. because if it were true then this country is well off right now.”
When asked if i believe in divine justice i answered “No because if it is proven to be divine then at least there should be a divine hand behind all these where all shall see and those who sinned against another shall be metted with the right punishment accordingly as could be assessed directly by the victim. Not in the next life but now.”
When asked if there is a God i answered ” Is that a trick question? look around you, look at our country we have been full of God ever since and we have called him a lot of times yet what do we get in return? We have left in his hands everything we asked and hope for leaving it all to prayer but not doing anything about it. we only call upon him but we never practice his sense of justice nor charity. we preach about Jesus but we never try to imitate his actions so whats the use of the church? and why do they accept criminals in their ranks? i dont see God anymore in any of these i only see people using God for their own ends.”
when asked if this letter would do any good for the Filipino people i answered; “the letter is good if only to be used as a homily in a mass a prayer perhaps because there exists no process of how we are to know what the Lord or the divine mother thinks about the situation, only a never ending question of when and how we would know that we should do the right things that is of course better left to the people of God or church leaders. sadly this letter never empowers the people. it gives them a sense of illusionary hope in the form of admonition.”

hahahaha making money out of a countrys’ political turmoil! man thats the best joke ive ever heard! ever we have a chance to inquire about how much those people earn from the tapes i’d be more than happy to document it as it is representative of how ludicrous is our situation and how genius is the power of the internet that people are stupid enough to buy a downloaded tape, sit back relax and enjoy listening to the tapes as if its a piece of art.
but anyway i still appreciate and praise PCIJ blog for being like linux!
yeah! freeware! down with microsoft!!!
hehehe
but then i have a question.
AFTER GMA ANSWERS THE TAPE CONTROVERSY AND ANSWERED THATS NOT ME. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
answer: listen to the tapes again
p.s.
former president francisco nemenzo came to U.P. cebu and gave a critique on the arroyo gov. he proposed a transiotional/revolutionary government but decided not to comment on the means of how to do it.the point is how are we gonna able to look for a solution without having a formula to come about change?
a very good friend of mine explained the current situation using psychology as basis. she said that the relationship of the Gov. and the people is comparable to a battered wife being that the filipino people is the battered wife and the government is the sadist (in this case GMA)
being in a binary relationship as long as theres no alternative (a credible leader of the opposition/people) the battered wife would rather settle for the sadist than move on for a better life making it a vicious cycle of violence.
i agree.
we are more than battered to admit we can never let go of a president for we can never look for a better replacement such that the reason for “people power fatigue” is not the lack of intension or simple indifference but that theres no another Ninoy who would replace GMA.
i personally asked nemenzo what if GMA is proven as the main culprit with the comelec as an accessory to the crime would that mean that the election last year should be null and void? (note: i also asked my friend who’s taking up law, who would determine if the elections last year is null and void. he answered: the supreme court pare! sadly i agree with nemenzo when he said that the supreme court lost its credibility.) Nemenzo answered excitedly: Yes! Precisely! (then he walked away)
hmmm… then pray tell that not just one impeachment shall follow but an impeachment of all the “elected” candidates who won in last years elections.
if that happens we are really bracing ourselves for CIVIL WAR.if thats the only solution then i pray it happens before we loose more than our moral dignity as a nation worthy of governing ourselves.
and loose our royalties to the tapes being sold on eBay.
hehehehe

Well, I may know what punk is, but… Okay maybe some people think I am punk, but is that enough? Nope.
I could go either way. Deep into the madness of nights filled with coding CGI-Scripts and online role playing games, or I could become a normal user. Good luck!
You probably work in computers, or a history deptartment at a college. You never really fit in with the “normal” crowd. But you have friends, and this is a good thing.
Goth ny night, normal by day. Deep in my heart I know I am evil, but not on the company’s time. I do need to eat.
Hmm.. I should stop listening to Dashboard Confessional…. enough said… Now that I stopped looking at my shoes, I know how the real world looks.
Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts.
Have I even been to a rave? I’ll go home. I am a Loser. I suck. Actually, I am probably just a normal person taking this test and don’t know why.
I know the scene, I’ve heard the bands, and I am burned out. Well, these things happen. I will now go ahead and go through the same thing with Punk and Emo.
I am pretty dirty, all right and, I reek of teen spirit… I would sell my own children for a moldy hotpocket, man.
I have some artistic ability, but it is probably a hobby and doesn’t drive my life into a dark abysmal hole were I am alone and against the world.
I may own more than two pair of dress shoes, and maybe a designer suit, but I don’t mind going to the grocery store in sweats. And I may even go a day or two without a shower.
Evil courses through my blood. Lies and deceit motivate my evil deeds. Crushing the weaklings and idiots that do nothing but interfere in my doings.
I am abrasive, some people really hate me, but there may be a group of other tight knit assholes and bitches that I can hang out with and get me. Everybody else? Fuck ‘em.
I am not a child of the 60’s but my heart is true to the cause, man. I realize that being a hippie is not just bell bottoms and tie-dye. It is also about the drugs and smelling bad, too!
I ain’t too bright. But all those other idiots annoy the hell out of me. I may not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, but at least I know my limits.

broken vow
Tell me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I’m here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
[Chorus:]
I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time
[Chorus]
I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There’s more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I’d give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end
[Modified Chorus:]
I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know I’m asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

love song for a savior
Posted by upoytao on June 26, 2005
In open fields of wild flowers,
she breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
Someday she’ll understand the meaning of it all
He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she’ll pray,
“I want to fall in love with You” x4
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can’t feel the chains on their souls
He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we’ll pray,
“I want to fall in love with You” x4
It seems too easy to call you “Savior”,
Not close enough to call you “God”
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion
“I want to fall in love with You”
