Interview of the Dancing Prisoners

October 2nd, 2007

View the interview done by CNN on one or two of those dancers here, and what they can say about this daily “exercise.”

Interview of the Dancing Prisoners

Some of you may have already seen the video of prisoners clad in yellow orange outfits dancing or doing the Algorithm March.

It received varied comments in Youtube. Some say that the prisoners were forced to do it, others say they’d like to spend their time in this jail if they commit a crime.

Some inmates may like what they’re doing, but for those who are not into dancing, it is a sacrifice. Nevertheless, i believe the warden knows what he’s doing, and for a good purpose.

Nescafe Coffee Filled with Shredded Cockroach

September 25th, 2007

Let me waste 2:35 minutes of your time, watch the video below taken using a cam phone.

Somebody bought a coffee from the Nescafe vending machine in our office cafeteria. He noticed something unusual about the sweet smelling Nescafe coffee. There were dark spots, and he took a closer look. He saw that looked like an arm or a leg of a cockroach! The cockroach was shredded into pieces.

Why I won’t buy a Nissan Motor?

September 22nd, 2007

Okay, I’m not exactly a car expert, and I won’t buy a Nissan not because of technical, mechanical, electrical, aesthetical, or whatever “cal” reasons. I don’t like Nissan because they’re a corporate bully! Yes, Nissan Motor is a corporate bully!

Here’s the true story: A certain individual named Uzi Nissan; an Israelite who is now living in the United States is being sued by Nissan Motors for lame reasons.

Mr. Nissan put up a business called Nissan International in 1987, and Nissan Motor was called Datsun at that time.

In 1991 he incorporated Nissan Computer Corp. and was and still trading computer related products now.

He bought Nissan.com in 1994. His business name Nissan Computer Corp and its logo was certified by the State of North Carolina.

Then on 1999, the mighty cyberbully Nissan Motor sued Mr. Uzi Nissan and seeking 10 Million US$ in damages, and barring him to use his own family name in his own business.

Nissan Motors was desperately evil to get the domain name Nissan.com off the hands of Mr. Nissan. Nissan Motors even sued his other business which did not even have a Nissan word attached to it. Nissan Motor tried all they can to bankrupt Mr. Uzi Nissan.

The court battle started in 1999 and looks like it ended on 2005. Thankfully, it appears that Mr. Nissan was the last man standing.

If I do my way, I will not buy any of Nissan Motor’s products. I am not closing my doors though.

Visit Nissan.com for the information regarding the case.

The Power of Your Words

September 19th, 2007

Our words have power to make or break a person’s life, including your own. The words that come out of our mouths can change the course of a person’s life, behavior or purpose. It is up to us what words to say, whether the words are seasoned with good or bad ones. It’s better if we can always let the good words come out regularly.

When I was growing up as a child, various people said all kinds of words to me, negative and positive alike. Those very words altered the way I view about myself and how I would behave when I am around with other people.

Some said I was a snob. I was like this (or still am?), because of the words that were carelessly hurled at me. It hurt my self-esteem.

As a teenager, girls in the school send love notes to me. But instead of being delighted of that privilege, I viewed it as an insult. They were probably making fun of me. It’s all because in the past, people closed to me said negative words about my looks. And those words I accepted as true.

Although I view myself as handsome now haha, hence the Gwapito.com name for my site!

It is indeed true of what James said in the bible, in James 3:3 that our lives are like a boat traveling out in the sea and the rudder as its guide, a small part of the ship could change the course of it travel. Likewise our lives traveling out in the sea of life, and we have a tongue, a small part of our body, but could make or break our lives and other peoples’.

Jealousy Is Not Always a Sign of Being in Love

September 14th, 2007

Jealousy is not a sign of love

When I was a teenager I read a one sentence quote, “Love is not always a sign of being in love”. Immature that I was, I disagreed.

Now that I’m now in my 30s and have been through a lot emotional experiences, I could relate to whoever wrote that short piece.

I believe jealousy is also stemmed from insecurity, not because you’re in love. Insecurity is selfishness, not love. A jealous husband will physically or emotionally hurt his wife if he suspected her of cheating on him.

We should not hurt the ones we love. This is true love. True love trusts. But if trust is wrecked, or if the one you love is obviously cheating on you, then that’s the time to be jealous, but hurting the guilty one should be avoided.

Okay, Erap is now officially a Convict

September 13th, 2007

My prediction was wrong. Erap was found guilty of plunder charged against him.

Verdict Predict: Erap - Not A Convict!

September 11th, 2007

Erap Estrada2

I don’t have enough facts to support my prediction. But i believe he will be acquitted. An officemate of mine said that Erap Estrada may be charged, but he probably will just serve a short period of time since he already did during his arraignment.

I personally believe that he did steal money, just like most politicians. Though there are a really very few honest ones, but just very few.

Isn’t it Ironic 101

September 10th, 2007

Wild Me

1. When parents like to name their kids with two or even three names, but these parents call their kids with a shortened name or nickname.

An example is a friend of mine whose son’s name is Samuel John, but they call him Sam, or Samsam.

Every Person is Selfish by Nature

September 5th, 2007

Selfish by Nature

Nobody is innocent. Even the most righteous person on earth is selfish. Being selfish isn’t necessarily bad, but most selfish attitudes are detrimental not only to the one having it, but also the ones around him or her.

Have you ever noticed that after a group photo shoot you always check yourself first than others?

My Other Blog: Manilablog.com

September 3rd, 2007

ManilablogManilablog.com has been up for two months already. It’s on this site that i put my gimmicks, photos, leisure life, my opinions regarding Manila whether good or bad. Everything about Metro Manila, according to me!

While Gwapito.com is for my opinions ranging from the very personal opinions positive and negative alike, political views, racism, my experiences with God, my dreams, even my web and graphic portfolios. But will add more on the latter in a month or two.

Naozumi “Nao” Tsuchiyama

August 31st, 2007

Tsuchiyama
Thanks to Jobstreet.

Naozumi “Nao” Tsuchiyama has an amputated right leg, but now wears prosthetics. He is a language instructor, but what he really wanted to be is a boxer.

Boxers need a license to become eligible to fight, but was denied by his home country.

He went to the Philippines to apply, but was denied by the GAB. Though medical reports shows that he is fit to fight. His application was rejected twice, but Nao persisted and finally GAB relented and was given his license.

Presently, Nao has a 2 wins, 1 draw and no losses statistics.

I don’t how long he will do boxing, and hopefully will keep on winning. But his story motivated me to pursue my dreams for myself, for my family and for others.

Hopefully it will motivate you as well.
