silver stands in my pensieve

thank you lord...

for giving my sister a job. it's been almost a year since she graduated from university and she found it difficult to land a job she wanted. but i am really, really happy that she finally found one. ^_^ i hope herb will find one too.

can't get that mar roxas campaign jingle outta my head...

oh boy, last song syndrome (lss) once again. it's really catchy. no other politician had thought of using parokya ni edgar's "mr. suave" as a campaign theme. mar's campaign team is really something...now everybody is singing "mr. palengke" (mr. market) instead of "mr. suave". his moniker is now a catch phrase. i hope he wins; he did a lot as secretary for trade and industry and i think he will do more as a senator of the country...i believe it is only a matter of months before he becomes known as "senator palengke", hehe.

well, that song reminds me of another person. carcila or car, from the united states. i met her in japan; we were together in the tour and she became one of my closest friends in the group. she lives in guam but her mom is filipino and she can understand and speak the language. i was surprised that she knew the song; she liked it! i think it's nice when people like car do not forget their roots; i admire them for that.

unfortunately, there are filipinos who think they are better than those who haven't set foot in foreign lands, particularly in the usa. hmp! as if their shit smells better!!

got a new favorite song...

charcoal filter's "sayashisa raisensu" is better than "tightrope", in my opinion. it has a better melody, and otsuka yuzo on vocals is terrific (not as good as teru but just as cute, hehe). i still don't know the lyrics, though. i am having a hard time finding the lyrics for that song. 誰か手伝ってくれる？

that superferry incident

the abu sayyaf claims that "one of them" had caused the ship to sink by exploding a bomb he carried with him. throughout the years, the abu sayyaf has been carrying out acts of terrorism, kidnapping and killing people and then saying afterwards that it was all for allah. i don't get it; apparently, one of my favorite journalists, maria ceres doyo doesn't too. according to her, "how can one punish the innocent and claim reward in heaven? ...i wish self-respecting muslims would raise their voices to denounce the use of islamic jargon in the terrorists' justification of this latest attack on human beings. do they also believe that this kind of "martyrdom" is a sure way to heaven? i don't think so." my thoughts exactly.

i really think muslims should stand up and speak out against terrorist acts like this. they must not allow bandit groups who use islam as an excuse to go on with their acts of terrorism. after all, ideology is very different from extremism.

gackt should suit you!

uh, duh...as if there's anybody in this world who suits me better than him.
"chances are, you like your men a little older and wiser than you" -- who doesn't?? and not only wiser and older, but also better than me at everything. remove "chances are" and "little".
"we all envy you" -- thank you. (hehe)
woohoo! i am in dreamland again. in my utopia where i am with gackt!^_^v
