My response on the Catholic block vote article

I have really no idea on  how and where on earth did the writer made the assumption that Catholics are as mindless and fearfull as before given the current realities that we could see and and also by the statistics out of surveys. And I couldn't tell if the article was satire or not. Maybe it is.
You can go to the article here:

And here is my reply:

" If this is not a joke, you mislead yourself. You live in a wrong era. The Catholics today respects their leaders but most of them can and do think for themselves and have already voice their opinions and reasons. Most have, if not learned, outgrown and learn to distance themselves from the authority and dictates of the Church. Our culture might have been filled with religious traditions but in no way are they "primeval instincts and human nature." Our religion is as foreign as the "lifestyle centers" you dislike. If you think that my identity as a Filipino is being under a theocratic rule, continous hatred and bigotry, be a mindless zealot, so much disrespect to a woman and womanhood that you look at her JUST as useful as long as she can give birth, backward thinking and fearful, ignorance of science and general health, selfish, ignorant and arrogant at the same time, then count me out!"

INSOMNIA

Not again. For 3 nights in a row I have not slept at my usual time. It's not a big deal when I don't have any thing planned early for tomorrow but it sucks because I really want to enjoy the morning. Especially breakfast. And I have noticed that whenever I wake-up late my day seems unproductive. Not that I do anything productive really. But it still sucks!

-->

Maybe one of the reason that I can't sleep earlier is that I am wanting something that is not exactly "favored" here. For those who knew you might know what I would be talking about. Vaping.

There were a lot of times when I have quit smoking. Or Pausing rather than Quitting to be more accurate. One was when I was a "minister" and the other was for more personal reasons. But I guess I "like" the vice. I am not proud of it nor am I ashamed. I just do. For some people, especially those who did not started or were not hooked, it's easy to say "just quit". If it was that easy to stop then why call it an addiction? And then again, it's my vice. Not proud, not totally ashamed.

For the past month, I had "stopped" at least from using the "analogue" stick when I had bought my very first Ecig. For the longest time I was intrigued on this technology but had my doubts. I thought that it was only a "posh" way of smoking. For those who don't actually know this product shut your mouth and do some proper research first. Like with everything in this world, there are pros and cons with this product but most of the cons are black propaganda by individuals who are ignorant and arrogant or by those companies/organization whose main source or large part of their income are from the sale of tobaccos.

I don't have to enumerate the pros of this product as you will be able to search it yourself. Start with Wikipedia. But my personal reason is that I am able to indulge my nicotine without the bad stuff from cigarette like tar and other chemicals. You can even do it in an airconditioned room without the annoying odor! As far as I know, second-hand smoke is eliminated as a health hazard effect.

But there are some things that I couldn't control. One particular reason is that it is not legal to some countries. The reason? Beats me!

So long story short. The Joker's back! Not if Batman could help... *wink.

BURN THAT 'MO OF O' BRIDGE!!!

O Philippines! My love, what is happening to your people?   Although it might be too judgemental of me to generalized the entire Republic for the deeds of the backward and the corrupt, but the ones entrusted with much hope to bring this beautiful nation to progress has contributed nothing but empty air, warming their chairs only for the function of pleasing the few powerful zealot masters. I do not mock their ideals and doctrines of backwardness, bigotry and slavery that they cling hard on to, but only on certain times, if they only apply it to themselves. But why must an entire nation, if supposed to be a Republic and democratic society not a theocracy of a few who have declared by themselves that they are the chosen men of God, be subjected to the backwardness, bigotry and slavery of one Church?! Did we go back again to the days of Jose Rizal? Didn't he write a history of his time, shrouded with a face of fiction, which has exposed the so-called holy and the untouchable who have reigned and caused much agony? What will the future generations think of this era? Would they think of us as another victim or a fool? A Good man learns from his own mistakes, a Wise man learns from others' mistakes, while a Fool keeps on repeating the same mistake over and over. That is why I propose that the sects and cults in this nation not to be acknowledge as religions but as a political party, because they are and they act like one. No special treatment, no exemption on taxes, have only one vote in the congress and will have an active role in politics if and only voted.

Please make a vote now to help, not the "faithful" be happy with their lives by subjecting everyone else to misery, but every citizen of the Republic of the Philippines. 

Support RH bill, or whatever they call it now by really, REALLY, understanding what the bill is all about. Learn from the experts, who are REAL experts, in terms of health and science, not just some wackos and wierdos that threatens anyone who opposes them to excommunication. And listen to those Women and Mothers and families who are supposed to be the beneficiary of this bill. Don't listen to me. I don't know half of what a labouring mother feels when giving birth, nor what a husband feels when he lost his wife during pregnancy nor the hunger of a child of a family of 12. Nor should you listen to any man who puts SUPERSTITION first before the LIFE of a woman, nor to men donned in white, the holy, who acts like they know everything, when they don't even understand the difference between a vagina and a butt.

SOME SHORT, RAMDOM THOUGHTS

I guess it's a bit too late. (insert months and days since). But I had just finished watching the last and final season of house. For many weeks I have been abreast with the seasons episodes but due to some technical problems, I was not able to comment about how my favorite show ended. I was so jealous when 9gagers were uploading memes about the end of house. But it doesn't matter. I have finished it and I feel complete...or maybe lost? What do you do after your favorite television show ended? But I like how House MD ended. We don't need to wonder anymore what had happened after House's "death".

Another gloomy day in Singapore. Not just the weather, but I think it has also infected my mood for the day. I thought I would escape the atmosphere of the rainy/typhoon season of the Philippines but i feel the same. The cold air is blowing against my exposed skin due to the Shorts that I am wearing and I feel defeated. One of the reasons that I came here to Singapore, aside from vacation, is to have the oppprtunity to work here. But given my history of work employment - I have been out of job for almost 1 year including the part time job of a Documenter for a Non-profit organization. Part of it is my status of being a forgeiner. Most of the jobs posted here are specific for the locals only. I can't really do anything about it because it is what it is. I just hope that, while I am here, I am lucky enough to be invited for an interview, at least. Then that's the time I could explain why my resume seems so "barren". Also, somehow, I could give them an idea of how I work. Nothing couldn't be learned given a time.

I hate it when people "show" or tell me how good they are GETTING their job. For those who I don't know very well, if you say that then I would take it as face-value. But for those who I had the chance to know more, sometimes, I see an egotistic-narcisist bastard. There was someone who said to me that I was not looking hard enough, or lazily applying for a job. Have they forgotten that there was a time when I had work? And don't they know how hard it is looking for a job given my status?

That is how I view myself when I landed my first and second job, LUCKY. I don't believe that I was the best or my skill-set were a cut-above the rest. I was just lucky enough to meet someone who saw a potential in me. Although I must say that through my experience, I was a lot better compared to my former self. When it comes to my being lucky, I am not talking about after getting the job, but the opportunity of getting a job. I think I know what I am capable of, what I can do best, given my experience, but not before actually doing it.

So please, if you are helping and giving me advice on getting a job, don't put me down by saying I don't look hard enough. It might bite you back when the situation changes. There are limitatons on somebody. Although there are some people who mean well when they said it, but I hope they think it through before it leaves their mouth.

            Or maybe I am really not doing as hard as I should.

But my point is, if you were not the one who looked for that job, or an agency got that job for you, if you just "inherited" that job, please, be careful on what you say.

The same applies to those who are rich because they had inherited it, or have won it from the lottery, or to those people who are genetically thin, you have no right to advise me on how to get rich or how to lose weight! Unless you have studied it. Or maybe it is best if you just advise me on how you maintain being rich and thin.

Luck, people. Don't horde all of the compliments!

Even if you are the smartest, hardworking sanopabitch, you are still lucky of being born smart and was not hit by a car or a plane when you went for your job interview. You sanopabitch!

I am just bitter. :)

The same advice I would give to CBCP, watdapuk do you know of the struggle of those women, wife and family who has so little to offer to the growing size of mouths to feed. And your advice is to abstain? That advice and your RULE has been in the Philippines for hundreds of years and look where it led us. You should at least practice what you preach and leave the kids' butts alone!
