Now that election day is over, it is only now that I felt and realized how important this day really was. As all the TV ads put it - Ako ang simula. May magagawa tayo. Sa isang boto ko. Ang boto mo ay may dalang pagbabago. Ang mga ito ang mga katotohanang magpapalaya sa bayan. I'm not a registered voter, nor did I exert any effort to get registered in the first place. Watching all the people taking time and getting out of their way to go out, line up and wait under the scorching heat or acidic downpour for their turns to cast their vote ,hoping to make a difference. Voter turnout was good as reported in the news , the only drawbacks were machines bogging down and the slow voting procedure. Violence were as usual from the known hotspots.

Canvassing has already started and slowly yet surely, results are coming in. In this chaotic world of politics, people remain optimistic which gives up hope. May God bless us all.

Jejemon Fever

Napaka-rami ng posts about "Jejemons" sa web & a lot of people are getting curious about it. Blogs , social networking sites & video sharing sites are already filled with these "monsters". Wikipedia even has it.

It's defined in Wikipedia as :
"Jejemon is a pop culture phenomenon in the Philippines. Jejemons are defined by Urban Dictionary as one "who has managed to subvert the English language to the point of incomprehensibility and online lynch squads."[1] A Jejemon is described as a "new breed of hipsters who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own sub-culture and fashion."

It seems that the jejemon mania is here to stay, and is making its mark both in real life and on cyberspace. One has to have patience/tolerance for jejemons, jejespeak, and what the jeje lifestyle stand for.

Pandan Festival 2010

Went around the Luisiana,Laguna town proper last April 3 to check out the houses that were part of the Pandan Festival 2010. It was near my girlfriend's house (spent my weekend there) as well as my office mate's house so I gave it a go.Festivities started in the morning of April 3 & lasted till the 7th. Houses were adorned with dried & processed Pandan leaves.



Exhibits & products were also a plenty - heck their local pageant also had their contestants wearing costumes made with it. It's like wearing clothes made of native "banig". Taking part in the fun & festivities made me realize that simple things do make people happy. Can't wait till next year so I can take more photos.

Holy Week Pilgrimage In Lucban,Quezon

Spent my Lenten break in Laguna but not before doing a stop-over at Lucban, Quezon to do some sort of pilgrimage at the Kamay Ni Hesus shrine with my sisters and visited the the old church at the town proper.

It's a refreshing thing to travel to the country side to enjoy nature (something you can't do when you're based in the city) and did some reflecting ...also took some pictures to have a memory of the trip.

Prostitute Tester

I bet a lot of men would be envious & would kill to have a job like his, just not sure how safe it is. Just think of it as a job with additional "benefits".
