Countdown for Change on 2010 Election

May 11, 2009 - undisputed TV network ABS-CBN and other concern organizations launched its countdown for the upcoming May 11, 2010 elections. Is is exactly 365 days and they are urging every citizens of the Philippines to be aware on the importance of selecting the right and appropriate persons for good governance.

ABS-CBN also officially open its awareness campaign "Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo: Ako Ang Simula" over TV Patrol World that was broadcast simultaneously in Pampanga, Cebu, and Davao. This aims every Juan to be vigilant and concern enough to report any political issues and complaints they encountered.

As early as today, persons that have interest to run for public office started doing some TV commercials, billboards and other means to catch the public attentions. I do hope that voters are tough enough now and will not be easily hypnotized by their promises and undertakings.

Let's start scrutinizing the aspirant candidates. Compile all their political platforms, educational backgrounds, achievements and etc...so by 2010 Election then, we are wiser to vote for change... for a better nation.

Set Your Day

Today's Scripture:
"Set your minds and keep them set on what is above, not on the things that are on the earth"

This reminds us to be optimistic on our everyday doings. No matter how we feel, no matter what the economy looks like, no matter what situation surrounds us, we need to be proactive. Let us not allow the negative forces to ruin our life but instead focus on what is in store on us on this day.

Salamat O Aking Ina (Thank you, Mama)

As my simple expression of gratitude to my ever dearest mother, here is my poem for her in time of the Mother's Day celebration.

"Salamat O Aking Ina"
by: Ronian

At ang buhay ay nag-iba,
Nang magsilang ka.
Di mapawi ang ligaya,
Nang una mo akong nakita.
Salamat o aking ina

Pinalaki't inaruga,
Sa guhit ng tadhana.
Upang sa tuwina'y mapabuti,
Sa bukas kong natatangi.
Salamat o aking ina

Hanggang nagkaisip at natuto na,
Wala pa ring pawi ang iyong suporta.
Dugo at iyong pawis,
Na sa akin ay ibinuwis.
Salamat o aking ina

Di ko man madalas masabi,
Ang katagang mahal kita.
Sa aking puso't isipan,
Nakaukit kailan man.
Salamat o aking ina

Saan man naroroon,
Alam kong masaya ka doon.
Anuman ako bukas at ngayon,
Ay dahil sa iyong kahapon.
Salamat o aking ina

Beer Contains Female Hormones

Warning!!! To the men who drinks beer to much.

Last month, National University of Lesotho scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.

Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects:
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional.
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally.
8) Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary.

Pacquiao Proved It Again

Another big celebration for Filipinos and Pacquiao fanatics here in the Philippines and around the globe as he proved again to be the best pound-for-pound boxer by beating Ricky "Hitman" Hatton last May 2, 2009 (May 3, here in the Philippines) via TKO in the 2nd round.



Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Ricky "Hitman" Hatton fight is set on a 12-round International Boxing Organization(IBO) and Ring Magazine Light Welterweight Championship at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas entitled "The Battle of East and West".

As early as 1st round, Pacquiao knocked down Hatton twice which gave him confidence on winning the title. He again dominated on the 2 round and caught Hatton in a victorious power left hook. Hatton's body fell like a stick with his back flat on the canvass ring. Then the referee knelt over him for several seconds and then waved his hands to signify that the fight is over....







Another Filipinos pride...Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao - pound-for-pound best boxer and a "monster" as Bob Arum says...
