Fitna, the controversial movie written by Geert Wilders, a Dutch parliamentarian.

In the movie, it shows selected morbid Quoran verses, and follows clippings of atrocities committed by Muslim extremists.

Yeah, right Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I will bless those (you) who bless you (Israel),
And I will curse him who (you) curses you (Israel);
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Genesis 12.2

Ces Drilon and two of her crew were abducted by the infamous ABu Sayyaf this week. Ms Drilon has been interviewing terrorists before such as NPA, Erap Estrada, MILF, and ABu Sayyaf.

Could this be a conspiracy performed together as a partnership between ABu Sayyaf and ABS cbn?

Reasons I find very, very, very, very, very disturbing:

• ABS-cbn wanting to increase its television ratings, paid ABu Sayyaf bandits with an undisclosed amount.
• ABu Sayyaf and ABS-cbn - just by looking at their names, even a one year old could tell that both have some things in common.

First and foremost, this is not a rant against Survivor Philippines, but a warning to those who plan of joining the next screening. According to my not so reliable source it would be within this year.

Don’t waste your time means don’t waste your time and energy by lining up for 5 to 8 hours only to be ditched in less than a minute. You may watch the show, but don’t even think of joining if you’re just an average looking Juan.

Paolo Bediones’ line that “This is not an artista search” I believe it was just a gimmick as an attempt make the show popular.

Why?

I got the past first level of screening, which was the interview part. While waiting for another hour in the second level of screening, which was the VTR or camera portion. I stood beside a goodlooking guy, the model type. He was quiet. While me and other participants were so excited, we talked and exchanged some ideas. He was oblivious of the excitement around him.

In the VTR portion, we were asked two questions. About 20 participants were there, some made some witty and trying-to-convince answers. I realized that all those answers were just nothing.

The artistahin guy beside me was the only one chosen. One of the guys in our group commented later that it was a setup. He was suspicious of the guy beside me.

I got another info from my source that some models were being told to lineup with the rest of the average looking Filipino citizens and brave the heat, cramps and hunger. Just to make the screening appear legitimate. Two days later, the Survivor Philippines producers carried out a separate tryout for models from different talent agencies in Metro Manila.

Conclusion: Don’t’ bother yourself joining Survivor Philippines or any reality tv show if you are not telegenic.

A number of Filipinos are putting the blame on the politicians’ corruption for the current Philippine situation.

The word corruption is always associated to politicians.

But we always overlooked that we ourselves are also a reflection of what the corrupt leaders are doing. We just like to play the blame game. We ourselves are also guilty of corruption.

The word corrupt according to Answers.com:
adj.

1. Marked by immorality and perversion; depraved.
2. Venal; dishonest: a corrupt mayor.

In my opinion, if you do the following, you are doing corruption to the Philippines yourself.

1. Click Fraud Guilty Website owners. You click your own ads, baaad. You’re good at lashing out politicians, you have against musicians who were accused of copying other musicians materials.

-An officemate was so disgusted with Orange and Lemons and Cueshe for imitating other bands’ music. Double jeopardy. He proudly admitted exchanging clicking of Google ads with his friend.

2. Buying Pirated CDs. Have you bought pirated CDs, fake software and all things fake inside a disk or DVD. It is called Intellectual Property Rights infringement. In simple terms, it is stealing other people’s intellectual product.

A musician worked his butt off, only for his CDs being pirated and bought by ignorant buyers.

3. Purchasing Fake products. You call me radical, stupid or just plain weird, but I don’t buy pant or t-shirts with a fake product name. Yes, I don’t buy those items found in Tutuban or Baclaran. Fake Ralph Lauren or fake Adidas or Nike is a big NO for me.

4. Dishonest partner. Are you dishonest to your girlfriend or wife or husband or boyfriend? Been playing around with your relationship? Then chances are you are a corrupt citizen yourself.

5. A burden to street sweepers. Are you the person who has the habit of just throwing your cigarette butts or candy wrappers just about anywhere? You’re making your surroundings dirty and it’s just another thing for corruption. You may have a clean house or room, but you’re a burden to other people. Isn’t a typical corrupt politician like that?

So wah cha think?

The Philippine medical profession is again at the glare of publicity brought about by the Vincente Sotto operating room spectacle.

I hope the aggrieved person will teach those doctors a lesson. Philippine doctors always get away by burying their mistakes.

On April 15, 2000 a white farmer was shot dead by black Zimbabweans. Those black Zimbabweans were just squatters of the white farmer’s land.

When I read the first two paragraphs of the news article, I was a bit mad. Those killers were just squatters of his land, and they killed him?!

But as I continued to read on, it became clearer. The blacks were demanding to return the land that were unfairly taken from them and given to the white settlers during the white rule.

Who is more evil? Honestly, not easy to answer. But I will try act accordingly to the Christian teachings I learned, as if I have learned something, hehe.

But if I was that white man who got killed, I would probably have given a portion of my land to the black Zimbabweans.

If I was one of the black Zimbabweans, I would appropriately ask a portion of that white man’s land, and if he would not give me any I would still not join in with the other blacks to kill the white farmer.

I just knew this last Sunday in my church. William Tyndale is virtually unknown to most people, even to the Christians. But he was the one to first translate the bible into English against the will of the Catholic Church leaders.

William Tyndale, a priest of the Catholic Church was determined to share the words of the Bible to the common people. During his time only the priests and nuns were allowed to read the Holy Scriptures, it was crime for an ordinary citizen, even a king and the penalty for defying the law was death.

William Tyndale was a great influence to many including William Shakespeare.

“It’s the empty can that makes the most noise, ” is a popular quote which means “a noisy river is a shallow river.” Ooops that’s a quote as well! Haha…

I refuse to be part of the noisy opposing group literally rallying against the president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. But i do my part by praying for the prosperity of the Philippines, been doing it since 1995.

Making a noise against GMA is just futile! She will not step down! Although i don’t like GMA! I really do feel that she’s part of the corruption that is taking place in the government! But i don’t want to be part of all the noises brought by the opposition!

Okay that’s enough, i am making a noise already!!! Hehehe…

Seriously, she will become an actress. Probably not full time, but she will be guesting local comedy t.v. shows.

Thanks to Bb. Pilipinas for the photos.

“My pamelee…” (in tagalog accent and pronunciation)

It would be like hell living in a communist country.

The images below is suffice enough.

Catholic church’s stand on the ban of condom is not even based in the Bible.

According to the Catholic church that sex should be done only for the purpose of conceiving a baby, other than that it’s a sin.

But the bible says that sex between married couple can be done at the couple’s own discretion, no time or any thing should hinder them, but only give time to prayer. Just take a break for a prayer!

1 Corinthians 7:4-6

A wife belongs to her husband instead of to herself, and a husband belongs to his wife instead of to himself. So don’t refuse sex to each other, unless you agree not to have sex for a little while, in order to spend time in prayer. Then Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control. In my opinion that is what should be done, though I don’t know of anything the Lord said about this matter.
