Same Sex S***?

Yeah. I have to curse that one.

Well, lately, I noticed on the fuckin' news that homosexuals are unveiling their butterfly wings and parade on the streets like they're in Rio for the Carnival.

After that "marriage ceremony" in Baguio, I start to puke. Why? They're out of their minds, man! They're even creating their own church for their convenience and all that stuff!

That's not Christianity at all, for crying out loud! That's blasphemy on the conservative Christian (and not specifically Catholic) perspective. Literally loving one's neighbor cannot be an excuse to sexual responsibility.

And yeah, who motivated these...misguided people to make their ladlad?

Let me guess: the RH Bill proponents?

You know what, I can tolerate the existence of homosexuals, but not to the point that we'll be like Sodom and Gomorrah. I don't wanna see a Sodomite society. Such cultural bullshit.

And for my Post-Scriptum Sarcasm:
Thanks a lot, Lady Gaga.

UST's "New Seal" is an Eyesore!

I have to be frank with the creators of  UST's "new" logo: I don't like it, neither the hundreds of thousands of Thomasians online. 

Why settle for colorful designs [the one on the left] if the classic (and in this case, the full title) logo of the University of Santo Tomas [right side! :D] is better? 

I hope my eyes would heal faster. It's bleeding. 

Anyway, this is a good read.

Now this is F***IN' disgusting!

I know that there is freedom of expression and homosexuals are spreading everywhere, but this has gone way too far. Though Uganda was wrong in illegalizing homosexuality, this kind of "religion" is also wrong in ministering same-sex marriages.

Whatever happened to heterosexual trust?

BS.

"Last Friday Night"?

Katy Perry, a.k.a. Kathy Beth Terry, have another comedic music video off her sleeve.

You see, her latest single, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is something eccentric as anyone could see. It's redefining and giving justice to "...Partyin', partyin', YEAH!" (You heard that right, Rebecca Black is featured in the video in tribute to her viral video "Friday"). The video will surely skyrocket in views since there are two Glee actors featured there.

But hey, do you get the message of the song? All I could see here is that the song tells about a Friday night mischief complete with weird things like getting drunk and all that; and the next day someone saw herself like she didn't remembered what happened. Worse, she may also discover that she was totally naked when she woke up. That's what I understood.

Very promiscuous, indeed, is this one; but it was sugar-coated with the creativity and eccentricity identified as Katy Perry's.

Did Rebecca gained weight here? And whatever happened to Kenny G's sax-playing in the video?

Be my guest:

Philippine Athletics and Society

Don't get me wrong. I have my hands down on our athletes.

However, the only thing that gets me near to puking is that most of the fans of our athletes don't have an idea, if not a little, of their background and why did they clicked to the masses.

First and foremost is Manny Pacquiao. (Take note: I'm ranting on his fans, not on Pacman himself.) It is a given that he is a boxer and boxing is one of the uniting factors of our country. What makes me pissed off is that the Philippines will be a better place IF AND ONLY IF Manny fights; after that, nothing changed except the results of the fight. On the other hand, it seems paradoxical, if not ironic, that most Pro-RH Bill people regard Pacquiao (who is a Pro-lifer) as a great person. Why do I say so? It is a given that boxing has no relation at all to the topic; but isn't it a slap in Manny's face when you had the chance to tell him: "I admire you as a boxer, but I oppose your beliefs and convictions as a legislator"?

The other athletic personality talk-about today is the Philippine Azkals, our football team. They sprouted out like mushroom in media exposure, thanks to the Younghusbands (who by the way, are more of Brits than Filipinos). Though not the team captains, they are the most prominent players in the team because of their face value (and what do I expect? Girls scream to death when they see the team). Again, I'm not against the Azkals; I'm even happy that football is having its advent here in the Philippines. The only thing that is lacking is that there should be widespread education on football, pinapa-bakya of sorts.

Nevertheless, I still hope they would continue to inspire more people to fulfill their dreams.

Boring Thursday.

This semester, we don't have classes on Thursdays. And since I wrote this on the first Thursday of the schoolyear, let me tell you that I'm bored.

Well, normally, if you're all alone, with nothing to do than to stay online and do your initial homeworks, or if you're lazy enough to sing "The Lazy Song", all you think about is what to do. And yes: procrastination is one of the factors that will affect you.

Luckily for me, I have an assignment; and I also have an Independence Day post at MSAG that I have to re-edit over and over again (you see, that post is designed for twelve days in the making.), which will be out on Fathers' Day. Don't worry, if you wanna hear my voice, I'll also double-time the post so that I could video myself.

Anyway, I'm starting to realize I'm not making any sense to the things I wrote. Looks like I have to stop now....

But before I do, Charice's FB page closed shop. Here's the reason why.

I'm no die-hard "Chaster", but to those who are a bunch of plastic bags to Charice, GET A LIFE.

Marrying her? THAT EARLY?

I'm going to be hitting two birds with one stone here....

First is Justin Bieber's upcoming proposal to a much older Selena Gomez in the latter's 19th birthday. How the hell did he assured everyone, especially the fans, that Selena is the one for him? Like, he's just fifteen, for crying out loud.Well, this was his reason: After Justin heard that Sean Kingston was involved in a jet ski accident a week ago, he realized that life could be unpredictable and anything may happen (and in reality, it does happen.... Remember AJ Perez? May he rest in peace.). BUT PROPOSING TO SELENA THAT EARLY?

Which leads to my second point.... I bet everyone is in love with that Bruno Mars song called "Marry You", and I bet you're singing its chorus which sounds like this:

"It's a beautiful night. 

We're lookin' for something dumb to do. 

Hey, baby, 

I think I wanna marry you...." 

And when things get wrong, and the relationship is weak, what happens next? 

You guessed it.... 

DIVORCE. 

Has the mentality on relationship already degraded? If we ask about the other countries, we may say yes. But has it degraded here? That we have to speculate. But most of the time, families who experienced divorce would likely have worse situations underway. 

I have to quote my younger sister about this: 

"Bakit pa sila ikinasal kung magdi-divorce lang din sila [sa huli]?" 

And here's what I replied to her: 

"Para lang silang tanga."

Unborn versus mother [A Rant]

Okay, I saw this one, and from its content, I wanted to do a no-holds-barred rant on the article written by an ultrafeminist bitch named Elizabeth Angsioco of the Democratic Social Women of the Philippines. Just like in MSAG, [my comments will be in this format]. 

...And yeah, ready your eyes for everything you'll see from this point. It's gonna get bloody. 

-------------------------------------------------------------

Who is more important, the unborn or the mother? No, this is not a trick question [Yes, it is not a trick question, but to answer you, both are important]. Unfortunately for women, some of our legislators seem to believe that the unborn is more important than the mother [Excuse me! When did our legislators stated that the unborn is more important than the mother? They're just balancing the importance of both the mother and the unborn. Stupid point.]. 

I refer to several bills on the “protection of the unborn” filed in both Houses of Congress [So what?].

At the House of Representatives, Parañaque Rep. Roilo Golez [the frontliner...] filed HB13, “An Act Providing for the Safety and Protection of the Unborn Child and for Other Purposes” lodged with the Committee on the Welfare of Children. Manila Rep. Amado Bagatsing, for his part filed HB3667, “An Act Increasing the Penalties Against Abortion, Amending for the Purpose Articles 256, 257, 258 and 259 of the Revised Penal Code, and for Other Purposes” referred to the Committee on Revision of Laws [So what?].

In the Senate, Senators Juan Ponce Enrile [huh? Manong Johnny's pro-life? Sweet....] and Bong Revilla, Jr. [...and Kap too!] filed identical bills, SBs 2497 and 2635 both entitled, “An Act to Uphold the Human Rights and Promote the Welfare of the Unborn Child, Amending for the Purpose Articles 256, 257, 258 and 259 of the Revised Penal Code, and for Other Purposes.” Sen. Ralph Recto on the other hand, authored SB2584, “An Act for the Safety and Protection of the Unborn Child and for Other Purposes,” an exact replica of the Golez bill [And I say again, SO WHAT?].

Needless to say, all the bills mentioned have the same intent: to protect the unborn. Nothing in these bills takes cognizance of the mother’s needs and rights [You got it all twisted, madam. Reference, please.].

Article II, Section 12 of the Constitution clearly says, “The State… shall EQUALLY protect the life of the mother and the life of the UNBORN from conception…” (emphasis mine) [So what?].

Let’s see if these bills follow this Constitutional provision which, authors say is the foundation of their legislative proposals [Let's see if her comments follow her premises].

First, all these bills speak of the unborn as a CHILD [Huh? So what do you call the unborn aside as a mere unborn PERSON? (sarcasm here)]. I take issue with this because the Constitution does not call the unborn a child. If the framers meant to equate the former with the latter, they would have done that. An unborn can be anything from an egg, a zygote, to a fetus about to be born.

A child is someone who is born into this world, a complete human person like you and me. A child is a citizen, and therefore, has human rights [True....].

Calling the unborn a child to me is going beyond what the Constitution provides [(buzz) WRONG! An unborn is a person still developing its physical abilities inside its mother's womb. Duh....].

Second, the Constitution speaks of EQUAL protection of the mother and the unborn. The bills in question fully protect the unborn but completely neglect the mother [like the RH Bill could fully protect both the mother and the unborn. Prove to everyone that it does, and further arguments would be unnecessary.]. Some provisions can even be interpreted as protective of the unborn at the expense of the mother [Reference, madam. REFERENCE.].

Section 5 of bills of Enrile and Revilla (contents are the same with Sections 6 and 7 of Recto’s bill) reads, “Protection of the Unborn Child. - The unborn child shall be protected from abortifacients, abortive acts and practices that include abortion… which endanger or expose the unborn child to damage, injury or death, WHETHER COMMITTED WITH OR WITHOUT VIOLENCE, AND WHETHER COMMITTED WITH OR WITHOUT CONSENT OF THE MOTHER…” (emphasis mine) [So, what's the point?]

While the Constitutional prohibition against abortion must be observed, this provision is at best blind to the plight of women who are in problematic relationships or abused by their partners [and that's from an ultrafeminist. Remember that everything in excess is harmful--even too much women empowerment.]. Why would the law punish a pregnant woman who was subjected to violence that resulted in an abortion? Why would the absent of consent of the woman not taken into consideration? Under these circumstances, the woman is a victim, not a criminal [Begging the question? No idea. But whatever it is, it's twisted.].

Section 6, Parental Rights and State Power Over the Unborn Child of the Enrile and Revilla bills (similar to section 7 of Recto’s) gives superior powers to parents of a pregnant minor [which is really a default and irreplaceable responsibility] and the only time that the State can come in is to protect the unborn child from abortion [So, what's wrong with it? Admit it, Angsioco. Your mantra is "MY BODY, MY CHOICE!"].

This provision doesn’t at all care about the welfare of the pregnant minor [Huh? Are you out of your freakin' mind? In the first place, the matter of these things are so personal that not even I could infiltrate. Just let them be, for crying out loud.]. It is as if the young woman does not have any rights at all [1. Define "young woman" in terms of age. 2. What right do you want to promote to the case you present?]. What if the pregnancy was due to rape? Worse, what if the perpetrator is a family member (which is not unthinkable)? [Uh, aren't these provisions existing in the status quo?].

These “unborn bills” may be in violation of the very Constitutional provision they are anchored on [Assuming, BUT NOT CONCEDING, that that would be the case, the RH Bill is much more in violation to the Constitution. But in reality, How would you say so? Any proof than personal interpretations?]. There is no equal protection for the mother’s life here. In fact, these bills are very harsh on women [Talk about bitterness....].

Third, to protect the unborn, we must first protect the mother [How?... Well, here's a suggestion: If you wanted to protect the unborn, why not let the mother be? She is the one pregnant; and even if you sympathize with her being a mother, you are still not the mother of the unborn in her womb.].

It is frustrating that these bills tend to pit the unborn against mothers [And it is also frustrating that these people are meddling in personal matters.]. Why do our honorable lawmakers resort to this? [And you got the nerve to call them honorable, eh?]

We do not need expertise to know that for as long as the unborn remains inside the woman’s womb, it is completely dependent on the woman’s body systems. Science has not advanced to that level where a woman is no longer needed to give life to others, or to make men capable of being pregnant and giving birth [Now her true colors are showing....].

For as long as this is the situation, the health of all unborn depends upon the mother’s health. The unborn will not be born without the mother [Uh-huh.].

Laws, therefore, should protect the mother and address her needs. Make pregnancies and childbirths safe. This will redound to the protection and welfare of the unborn [And how will you do that without harming both?].

The Constitution says the mother and unborn shall be equally protected. The way to protect the unborn is through the mother. This is the way to do it [Incomplete. Let me continue it: The way to protect the unborn is through the mother; THE WAY TO PROTECT THE MOTHER IS TO LET THE UNBORN LIVE.].

***

My piece, “The church of the poor” elicited much response and the big majority expressed indignation (and I am being mild here) about the riches of the Philippine Roman Catholic Church [Mild? I call it a low blow.]. They share the view that the Roman Catholic Church should do a lot more in helping poor Filipino Catholics [They are, you just don't give a damn about it.].

There are those who gave more information and I would like to thank them even if they choose to be anonymous. I intend to verify these information before using them.

To those interested, all the data I wrote about are publicly available from the sources I named. Moreover, I intend to write another piece if more information come my way. 

------------------------------------------------------------- 

Anyone still alive? 

I have to admit: This bitch is getting crazier by the minute! 

Too much doublespeak shit. 

I rest my case.

What will I expect in my Junior Year in College....

Third Year. How time flies so fast that you didn't noticed how far you have gone.

Four Majors and four Minors. Now I can feel that I'm in the course I'm in. Of course, a lot of BS will still happen, and I hope I'll get it's two cent's worth somehow.

The only thing I have to worry about is how to go home if I leave UST at nine in the evening twice a week. Bummer, really.
