last day

what can i say? today is the last day of the month of july. this month went by so fast that i didn't even have the time to blink my eyes or shut my eyes. i must had been so busy to realized everything around me as the world turned and the days went by. busy at work, busy at home,
busy doing chores, busy sitting in front of my computer, and just plain busy in life. to add to this insult school time for my children is just around the corner. my 45th birthday and then it's fall again. holloween behind it. followed by winter. and then it's christmas again. wahhhh...my gulay...where have my days and years went? i didn't even noticed it...felt it...it's just a blur for me. a long time memory for me. i know i'm not on drugs. but darnnit it was yester years when i still remember being 18 years old. fresh out of highschool. a brand new recruit in the good old united states marine corps. this i do remember well. especially when i was in the booth camp in san diego going through hell. that's when i found out what hell is and what on tarnation gawd
forsaken place i got in. i survived it. all 20 years in the military service. from the war of lebanon to the first war of iraq. and here i am again still going through the civilian life. days going by me.
still feeling that i'm still in hell. burning through life. just waiting fot the day that i will retire or die whichever comes first. i hope everything will turn out okay for me in the month of august.
hopefully not with a big bang but a whimp.
i guess this is it na for me for this sunday evening. time to thy dinner and get some rest before i
tackle another hard days work at my job. i'll see ya all later again. Godbless and chow :P'.

unafraid to be free

" finally unafraid to be free,
ready to surrender all the illusions of
recognition and external securities,
living off the sky and earth like soaring
eagles and braying burros,
trusting in power even beyond dow jones
and hoarded retirement.
finally ready to live like the noble animal
that i am--
without masters or servants,
with dignity dependent on no one,
content to know that i am God's child,
and only good has prepared for me.
when i am not afraid to release all that
my life and culture taught me to prize.
to abandon fears once and for all, to discard the
anxieties of a lifetime like a suit that no longer fits,
to be afraid of no one, beholden to no one,
dependent on no one
save the few who know and love me as i am,
and the God Who alone gives meaning and joy
to the madness of my life"

-james kavanaugh-

here's another poem that i posted in my blog and want to share to everyone out there in the blog world written by james kavanaugh. he is also one of my favorite poet that i admired and been reading his poems ever since i was a freshman in a catholic highschool for boys in the early seventies in san francisco. i just love his style and the way he writes his poems. james
kavanaugh for me is an inspiration. i grew up in a catholic family and can understand how hard it must have been for him to leave the priesthood and then to speak so contrary to basic catholic tenants. still he did so following one guiding principal. if there is one person you must be truthful with it is yourself.
i guess this is it na for this thursday evening. i gotta get my sleep beauty rest...eheheh...after a hard days work for me i really needed it badly. i still got one more day to tackle at my work before the weekend. and friday is usually our most hectic day trying to finish all the work before the weekend. at least tomorrow will be friday na for me and to make it more sweeter it's our payday again. greenbacks. dead president. more money to spend. hmmmm...that's giving me an idea to buy something behind my wife's back...eheheh. thinking about buying the last beach boy's concert dvd done in london in the early eighties. kinda getting the feeling of being an old fart watch long gone music groups...eheheh...hey, i still like to listen to their music eventhough it's already in the 21st century. brings back old memories in my growing up
years. i guess this is it na for me. time to blog-off. Godbless and chow :P'.

i've saved the summer

i've saved the summer
and i give it all to you
to hold on winter morning
when the snow is new.

i've saved some sunlight
if you should ever need
a place away from darkness
where your mind can feed.

and for myself i've kept your smile
when you were but nineteen,
till you're older you'll not know
what brave young smiles can mean.

i know no answers
to hel you on your way
the answers lie somewhere
at the bottom of the day.

but if you've need love
i'll give you all i own
it might help you down the road
till you've found your own.

-Rod McKuen-

here's aother poem that i posted today written by rod mckuen. one my favorite poet in my growing years. just want to share it to everyone out there in the blog world. it's thursday na already for me over here in the san francisco bay area. and normally it's not a lucky day for me.
but i'm hoping and praying na lang that today will go by smoothly for me with no hitch or being left out in the window to dry. i'll see you all again later on. Godbless and adios :P'.

love is all you'll find

water must be wet. a fire must be hot. you
can't take the wet out of water and still have water
you can't take the heat out of fire and still have fire.
in the same way, you can't take the love out of
(God)...and still have him exist. for he was..and
is...Love.
probe deep within him. explore every corner.
search every angle. love is all you find. go to the
beginning of every decision he has made and you'll
find it. go to the end of every story he has told and
you'll see it.
Love.
no bitterness. no evil. no cruelty. just love.
flawless love. passionate love. vast and pure love.
he is love.

-in the eye of the storm-

just a simple love saying in a quiet wednesday of the middle of the work week before
i start doing my work. Godbless and adios :P'.

in the lighter side

my sadness has no seasons,
it comes when the leaves
surrender to the persistent wind
and lie attention,
when the snow
coats twigs and footprints
in a gentle obituary of white,
or when the birds
fly back to the parks
to help the old folks count the years.
it even comes when the hot air
keeps the crickets awake,
complaining in the parched grass.

there are no reasons for my sadness
except living, and maybe dying.
but mostly it moves in like a fog,
seeping from some secret cave where shadows live.

i wish i were a planet so my sadness would have seasons,
if it came with sun or snow, i'd somehow know it's reasons.

who's your cabbie?

found this article about cabbie's and what they drive from other countries that i want to share to everybody in the blog world. it's kinda funny in a funny way the way the article was written by the author. he or she probably travelled the world over and found out what is really like to catch a taxi in a foreign country.

"if you're going to put your life in the hands of speed-addicted foreigners, you might as well know what they're driving."

RICKSHAW
COUNTRY: India
Specs: widely outlawed for association with asshole Brits, the last fleet is in
Calcutta.
What to expect: the romance of a horsedrawn carriege and ceaseless cursing of a
driver who hates you.

TUK-TUK
COUNTRY: Thailand
Specs: beefed-up aggro-trike named after sound made by its spunky two-stroke engine.
What to expect: exposure to more pollutants and trafic fatalities than an L.A.
police chase.

SYRIAN TAXI
COUNTRY: Syria
Specs: drivers spend more time with their rigs than their hairy wives, so cabs come
with everything from fake fur to disco balls.
What to expect: the scenery of a dorm room and wild ride of midterms acid trip.

JEEPNEY
COUNTRY: Philippines
Specs: boxy roadsters with flamboyant decor and crowded seating-just like Siegfried
and Roy show.
What to expect: like riding a bitch in a packed minivan to soccer practice, minus the
Capri Sun payoff.

TAKUSHI
COUNTRY: Japan
Specs: pristine sleds-for-hire feature automatic rear doors, white-gloved lackeys,
and strict no-tipping policy.
What to expect: a fare equal to your weekly food budget at home.

MERCEDES-BENZ
COUNTRY: Germany
Specs: a national fleet of high-octane performance vehicles coupled with autobahn-
reared drivers.
What to expect: a taste of good life without being a sanctimonious prick.

DONKEY
COUNTRY: Greece
Specs: bristly, four legged beast of burden-like you at work, but with an actual
saddle.
What to expect: a bumpy ride and an aroma sweeter than most of the local women.

i'll take the donkey ride anytime of the day. is it true that the donkey smells better than a greek woman?...hmmmm...i wonder. for one thing they're more hairy
than the donkey...eheheh :P'. as for the jeepney in the Philippines it's the best
place to be rob of your valuables or grope by a sex fiend if you are a female. this
is the truth. i guess it's almost time for me to blog-off na. i'll see you all later
on again or maybe tomorrow. whichever comes first for me, staying awake or falling asleep. Godbless and adios :P'.

changing my blog title

just changed my blog title from mad world to windows of thoughts this monday morning. i changed it because of the mix subjects i've blogged lately from the likes of poetry, prayers,
God, jokes, niks and naks. the mad world doesn't make no sense at all that i blog about. in
another word i wasn't mad and foaming in the mouth to blog something i'm mad about the world. even my co-worker daniel (sometimes i call him slow mo) suggested i change my blog titled because he read my blog and he said the subjects i blog doesn't jive with the mad world. i
had four different blog title that i thought of while i was busy doing my work and then a fifth came in my mind which i decided it's the one i'm going to use. and walla the windows of thoughts
sound better and i think i'm the only one in the blogger world that have the title to myself. i hope so. maybe in the near future i'll probably change my blog title again once i master the art of blogging. so, far i'm still in the bottom...beginners level...still learning :(. but improving little by little as i blog and blog. it's already turning me into a bloggaholic with eyebugs...eheheh. i got all the time in the world to be a perfect blogger someday. it takes time to be one and time is what i
have in my side. i have so many things to blog about and the only thing that is stopping me from
blogging all the things that i am thinking of is that i'm usually burned-out after i get home from work and my day is not over yet until i do my fatherly chores in the house. and when i'm done doing my fatherly chores it's usually late at night na which at that time i should be parking and tucking my body in my bed trying to catch my needed zzzz's. so, here i am in a quiet monday evening with a raging headache blogging this blog away for everyone out there in the blog world
to read if they happen to stop-by accidently in my blog address. this blog that i am blogging will
be a very short one. i'm kinda burned-out...dog tired...especially being a monday today and my first day of work of the week. i was kinda busy at work but not as busy as a bee last week. it was
so and so. but i was very glad that i finished all the work that has to be done today and this day went by real quick. so, now i only have four more days to go until it's the weekend again...yipeee
...yaba...daba...doo...eheheh...i think i'm going out my head :P'.
and speaking of going out of my head. it's almost time for me to blog-off and try to get my needed rest and zzzz's before i tackle another new day at my work tomorrow. besides this my headache is killing me softly. i gotta drink a couple of tylonol to kill my headache and this darn weather we've been having here in the bay area particularly in daly city is not helping me at all.
it's either sunny or foggy or foggy or sunny. and if it's not foggy or sunny it's the heatwave...
wahhhh. i guess this is it na for me for the evening. i'll see you all again tomorrow. good-night or
good-morning to everyone out there in the blog world. Godbless and adios :P'.

It will grow dark again,

birthdays...where do you stand?

i found this article in my filing cabinet titled "finding your true mate" by using the date of the month to find out what their personality. i got this article many moons ago from the internet.
printed it, filed it and forgot all about it. i even forgot what site i got it from. my birthday is on the 14th...which means i had a lot of mates in my life...hmmm very interesting...that's when i was still single and in the u.s. marines...travelling and stopping by exotic countries...with no
string attach...eheheh...darnnit can't do that anymore...collecting 'em mates. but for one thing the challenge is true to me. i love the challenge and i'm always being too perfect, fuzzy and
stubborn and to add to this i was born in the year of the rat. me and my beady eye personality. i don't know if this will help all of you out there in the blogger world to find a perfect mate...like a
stefford wife or maybe a psycho type...eheheh...just kidding :P'. hope you all like this article i blogged. see ya all again later on. Godbless and adios :P'.

"birthdays...where do you stand?"

born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th
these loyal people are both organizers or bossy boots! they're happy making
the decisions, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride...agree to
this and you'll have a friend for life.

born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th
theses guys and gals are way sensitive, supportive and will always listens to your
problems. they have a quiet power and usually know the best thing to do,
but as they hate to offend, they tend to agree with everyone most of the
time.

born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th
they live life to the fullest and like to spend money! they're show you how
to party and make others laugh but they're almost always totally
over-bearing. these people need stability around them at all times.

born on the 4th, 13th, 22ns or 31st
here is your serious mate. people born on these days are down-to-earth and
will always give you a strong shoulder to cry on. they're great at keeping
yoiu out of trouble, but need to be forced into having fun every now and
then.

born on the 5th, 14th or 23rd
these guys or gals love a chat and have loads of mates. they're lovers of adventure
and will always think of something great to do. challenges get their
adrenaline going but be warned...they expect others to keep up with them.

born on the 6th, 15th or 24th
a loving mate who'll always support you throigh thick and thin. anyone born
on a "6th" day has lots of friends but making new ones can be difficult. all
they wan to do is make the world a better place!

born on a 7th, 16th, or 25th
the quiet one who's hard to get to know, but once you're in, you're in. but
watch out--cross this trustworthy mate and you'll equally out! they're
independent and take life seriously.

born on an 8th, 17th, or 26th
they like to call the shots! these guys or gals know everyone and will always help
mates with million favors but finding a compromise is almost impossible,
so get used to that or you'll be in for some confrontation.

born on a 9th, 18th or 27th
a true mate who loves everybody. their strong intuition can spot a
troublemaker a mile off. but this dreamer hates any kind of confrontation,
so they wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings intentionally.

"enjoy life...coz' life is too short :P."

sunday poetry

Love is
being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the person
when they are sad
being together in bad times
Love is the source of strenghts

Love is
being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at
all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth,
and never pretending
Love is the source of reality

Love is
an understanding that is so complete that
you feel as if you are a part
of the other person
accepting the other person
just the way they are
and not trying to change them
to be something else
Love is the source of unity

Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences
with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth
of another individual
Love is the source of success

Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future

Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm in the rainbow
Love is the source of passion

Love is
giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other's
needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing

Love is
knowing that the other person
will always be with you
regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security

Love is the source of Life for everyone

have a very wonderful sunday out there in the blog world with your family...love one's...and close in heart. see you all again later on. gotta enjoy this sunday and last day of my weekend
with my family. Godbless and adios :P'.

making no sense

sometimes when i blog my blog doesn't make sense. i don't even know what i'm blogging about.
even the world we live in doesn't make sense at all. everywhere country in this world is either in chaos...having a civil war...in a blink of starvation...political upheaval...under terrorist attack...
mother nature's revenge...religion and ethnic inbalance...the world we live in is getting bad. and in the future hopefully not so soon man's is going to destroy man eventually. i could just imagine everyone going back to the caveman era with a caveman mentality walking and jumping around
like a monkey with a warm in their arse. but then we might not even be around to see what the new world is going to be if all the countries with nuclear capabilities use it against each other for domination. the only living creature that will probably still be around after a nuclear war will be...guess what?..."the cockroach." just imagine being the only surviving human being in this world after a nuclear war and your next door neighbors are a not so friendly creepy zillion cockroaches looking at you with hungry beedy eyes. looking at you like you are one big pudgy stuff roasted turkey. creepy and disgusting isn't it? another great idea for a horror movie.
in the lighter side of the subject or change of subject. my saturday is going by slowly and steady
but too fast for me. did all the things that i need to do as the head of the family. did my laundry
early in the morning before the owls went to bed with my two oldest sons at the laundry mat.
did the grocery shopping later in the morning. some house cleaning chores. watched television
for a while. i watched this one channel, the animal planet and this one animal in madagascar the
lemurs are a bunch of millipid junkies...to the extreme...out of this world...so natural, the best feeling for them...being natural high and on fire. i thought as human are bad for being a drug
junkie. but this lemurs are worst than as. it cracks me up. at least i give them credit for not overdosing to death from sniffing and tasting the millipids juice. by the way, they don't eat the
millipids. they just gently squeeze the millipids so that the millipids could release their bodily juice. it's their protection against the predators who want to eat them. it's poisones for the predator but for the lemurs it's heaven and earth for them. after watching television for almost three hours. i went cruising to the bruising in the internet. checked out some of my favorite bloggers who like myself likes to blog. i also checked the local news and world news. there's this one particular news that caught my eye...it's about this t-shirt company the urban outfitters that made a t-shirt titled "new mexico, cleaner than regular mexico" that got the anti-defamation league in america angry. made their hair stand up on their back puffing like a dragon on fire. i don't know why they are angry about this. the urban fitters didn't say nothing bad about mexico. to me they were telling the truth about mexico. if i had the choice i rather live in the state of new mexico than mexico. at least it's 100 percent safer to reside in new mexico eventhough the state is a barren dry dead end place. the anti-defanation league said that the word dirty can be interpreted figuratively and literally. have this group been in mexico lately?
it's a dirty place...corrupt...poor...and the number one country notorious for kidnapping rich folks
in mexico. just last week the bandits kidnapped a famous soccer coach for ransom. have the anti-defamation league ask them mexican folks lately why they are crossing the u.s. border illegally for greener pasteur by the hordes? they'll probably give the same answer to the anti-defamation league. they want to get away from their dirty and not so great country. shit, the rats will probably do the same thing...eheheh. this is not the only time the urban outfitters got in trouble. they got in trouble for making a printed t-shirt titled "everyone loves a jewish girl" and the "ghettopoly" and "voting is for old people"...what's wrong with this picture? what's wrong being in love with jewish girls? if the jewish girl is cute and sexy i'll be in love with them, too. and for the ghettopoly. we got a ghetto in every single major big cities in the stateside. they exsist and it's a bad place to live in or visit the place especially if you are a white person. and it will be around for a long time. that's welfare reform for you. and for the last one voting is for old people.
this is the truth. it's mostly old fogies that vote during election time. this is the fact. them young one's are too busy being too laid back living in their own little world. to them election is useless.
because whoever wins in the election that politician is either worst than the one before. isn't it?
i wish them anti-dafamation would wake-up and not live in their little world. try doing this in a third world country and you'll see what will happen to them. to me, being in america we have the right to say whatever we think of and the anti-defamation league won't let you because they think they are still in world war two...eheheh...this is only my opinion. isn't this a mad crazy world we live in?
i guess this is it na for me for my blogging of the day. my fingers are killing me already and the heatwave that we are having here in daly city is not helping me. my fan is not helping me either.
it's just blowing warm air and making me sweat more especially in my little office. i miss the cold foggy weather...wahhhhh. i'm still wandering why my wife put two wall clocks left and right in front of me in my office. she still haven't answered my question. for one thing, the tic-tock sound is driving me insane. just gotta have my radio's volume to the max to cover the tic-tock
sound. funny thing about this two clocks is that i'm never late for my appointments or for work.
once again, it's time for me to blog-off na and eat my dinner. i'll see you all again later on. Godbless and adios :P'.

boo-boo blogger

i'm sooo sorrrry for making a lot of mistakes in my grammer and spellings. for some reason when i type my blog i never have the time to check my blog before i publish it. maybe it's
just my old habit of being too darn lazy. next time i'll double back and recheck my blog before i
send it to the twilight zone...eheheh...sorry for the previous blogs that i typed with lots of boo-boo misspelled words. kinda feeling ashame about it. i'll do a better job of blogging next time.

the difference


i got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
i had so much to accomplish
that i didn't have time to pray.

problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"why doesn't God help me?" i wondered.
he answered, "you didn't ask."

i wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
i wondered why God didn't show me.
he said, "but you didn't seek."
i tried to come into God's presence;
i used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"my child, you didn't knock."

i woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
i had so much to accomplish
that i had to take time to pray.

so far so good...

normally today is usually not my lucky day. it's usually my unlucky day at work or home. but so far so good my day is going by smoothly for me at my work at this very moment even though
the time is dragging by like a pancake syrup and the weather is not cooperating for everyone at my work. it's foggy, cloudy and wet with rain out in the street. lucky i'm working inside a highrise building fixing a bunch of telephone lines for a company almost the whole day keeping me dry and warm and snug to the bones. hopefully my whole day will be one wonderful day for me. i don't believe in bad luck days. but you know the old saying..."shit always happens"... :D'.
i guess this is it na for me. my short coffee break and c.r. is over and out. time to mossey on and go to work and finish my assign job. gotta have them phone lines working or else 'em customers
ain't gonna be a happy camper when they use their telephone and there is no dial tone in it. chow and see ya all later again :P'.

breath into me...

the courage to make something new...
thank you for all the i forget gifts,
not rights.
forgive me for all the grievances
i remember too well.
save me from the self-pity,
the self seeking,
the fat-heartedness
which is true poverty.
guide me, if i'm willing,
(drive me if i'm not),
into the hard ways of sacrifice
which are just and loving.
make me wide-eyed for beauty,
and for my neighbor's need and goodness;
wide willed for peace-making,
and for confronting power
with the call to compassion;
wide-hearted for love
and for the unloved,
who are the hardest to touch
and need it the most.
dull the envy in me
which criticizes and complains life
into a thousand ugly bits.
keep me honest and tender enough to heal,
tough enough to be healed of my hypocrisies.
match my appetite for priviledge
with the stomach for commitment.
teach me the great cost of paying attention
that, naked to the dazzle of your back as you pass,
i may know i am always on holy ground.
breath into me the restlessness and courage
to make something new,
something saving,
and something true
that i may understand what it is to rejoice.

just a short prayer in a quiet tuesday evening for everyone out in the blogger world. nighty-
night...Godbless...and adios :P'.

i need to breath deeper

iternal friend,
grant me an ease
to breathe deeply of this moment,
this light,
this miracle of now.

beneath the din and fury
of great movements
and harsh news
and urgent crises,
make me attentive still
to good news,
to small occasions,

and the graceof what is possible
for me to be,
to do,
to give,
to receive,
that i may miss neither my neighbor's gift
nor my enemy's need.

precious Lord,
grant me
a sense of humor
that adds to perspective to compassion,
gratitude
that adds persistence to courage,
quietness of spirit
that adds irrepressibility to hope,
openness of mind
that adds surprise to joy;
that with gladness of heart
i may link arm and aim
with the One who saw signs of your kingdom
in salt and yeast,
pearls and seeds,
travelers and tax collectors,
sowers and harlots,
foreigners and fishermen,
and who opens my eyes with these signs
and my ears with the summons
to follow to something more
of justice and joy.

just a little prayer for myself and for everyone in their first day at their work in the blogger
world. my monday is just around the corner for me and my weekend went by too fast like
an indy car. i know tomorrow will be a busy day for me at my work. i'm hoping i'll make it
through monday like a smooth operator. i'm crossing my fingers and legs...eheheh. i guess it's
almost time for me to blog-off and hit the sack again for my beauty rest...eheheh...you'll all be
hearing from me again soon...not soon enough...just kidding :P'. nighty-night. Godbless and
adios :P'.

i am in need of...of what?

well, God
i made it through another sweet-sour time
and here i am,
nibbled,
frazzled,
awed,
and in need of...of what?
a chuckle, maybe,
a revolution begun with a belly laugh,
a bronx cheer in the face of the onslaughts
of disaster and death itself.

such is my need;
and this is my wonder.
are you really as humorless,
as grimly serious
as i have made you out to be?
or do aardvarks and monkeys,
bull frogs and platypuses,
puppies and porpoises,
and people, perhaps,
reveal the comic side of your grace,
the playful side of your love?
tickle me into giggling down
the wailing walls
of my endless grievances.
and trip up my wadding pomposities.

Lord of laughter, as of tears,
shake me awake
and teach me to laugh at myself,
at my black-draped solemnity,
over my petty preoccupation with success and failure,
through all the hurt and adversity
until my laughter lures me deep
beneath the terrors without names,
beneath the questions without answers,
beneath the pain without relief;
lures me deep
to the love in me unused,
to the strenght unspent,
to the courage untapped,
to the dream unrisked,
to the beauty unexpressed;
all the way down
to the inescapable bottom,
to the awareness that i must get on
with being who i am
as fully as i can,
as unflinchingly as i can,
as accurately as i can,
which to say,
as gracefully,
as powerfully,
as faithfully
as you have created me to be.

have a very wonderful...peaceful...quiet...restful sunday to everyone out there in the blogger world. just a little prayer for everyone to make this day go by not with a bang but with a big smile. Godbless and adios :P'.

thankful to be alive

i am so thankful to be alive....

persistent friend,
insistent enemy,
from whom no secret is hid
(and none need to be),
out of the thoughts and feelings which whirl within,
i grope for language to carry to you
my secrets and all the wonders
that seize my heart.
praise be to you
for holding me in the womb of mystery
through all the eons of creation until now
and raising me to life
in this time and place.
i am so thankful to be alive --
breathing, moving, sensing,
wide-eyed, cock-eared alive --
in this mysterious instant,
at this luminous time,
on this nurturing earth,
this blue pearl of great price
whirling through uncharted space,
attended by vigilant stars,
during these days of chance and battle,
with streaks of hope and holiness on the horizon,
touched by nature's pleading beauty
and friendship's steady hold.
i am so thankful to be alive --
eyes in love with seeing,
ears in love with hearing,
heart in love with attending,
mind in love with connecting;
eager to miss no message of grace
in the ballet of beauty
or in the cramp of struggle
of this incrdible gift of life:
attentive to all the clues of love,
daringly and outlandishly
scattered for me through Jesus' life,
overturning habit and hate;
attentive to the dreams he renews,
the wounds he heals,
the promises he nails up
for me to step on.
i am so thankful to be alive,
thankful for those times
when the rhythms of my life
catch the cadences of your kingdom,
when there is a lightening in me
for a moment,
when the creep of courage
allows me to dare serve the gifts
you have put in me;
thankful for the neighbors you have put beside me,
and the possibilities you have put before me;
thankful for the surge of determination
to accept difficulty
not as an excuse for passivity,
but as a goad to creativity,
as the door to abundant life,
and the seed of peace
the world cannot take away,
as it takes away so much else.

i am so thankful to be alive,
o persistent friend,
insistent enemy;
hold me always in the womb of mystery
and raise me again
and again,
forever,
to life,
and to love,
and to the claims of your kingdom.

just a litle prayer that i want to share to everyone out there in the bloggers world. when they are down and out and need a little motivation to make it through the day. just a little change
of style of blogging from me. from time to time my blog will be different. depending in my mood
happy :) or sad :(. i'll be mostly in the positive happy mood mode even if my day was bad like
today. my normal bad luck day for me. i'm glad i made it through this terrible day at my work
eventhough i got in a horrible argument with some of my co-workers. i'm glad i still finished my assigned work. hopefully tomorrow (friday and payday) will be a smooth day for me. i can't wait
for the weekend. i need the rest and relaxation mode. i guess this is it na for me for the evening.
i'm blogging-off mates and i'm ready to hit the sack. Godbless. and adios :P'.

children learn

children learn
what they live...

if a child lives with criticism
she learns to condemn

if a child lives with hostility and violence
he learns how to fight

if a child lives with ridicule
she learns to be shy

if a child lives with shame
he learns to feel guilty

if a child lives with tolerance
she learns to be patient

if a child lives with encouragement
he learns confidence

if a child lives with praise
she learns to appreciate

if a child lives with fairness
he learns justice

if a child lives with security
she learns to have faith

if a child lives with approval
he learns to like himself

if a child lives with acceptance and friendship
she learns to find love in the world

if children experience MAGIC
they will have hope for the future

just blogging about children...in how they are raise by their parents...in the house...in the world we live in..and how the children see world they live in. me being a family man...i just let all my
children grow up...free and happy...easy go lucky...never hard on them...letting them learn
what life is as they grow up. as for me, i grew up learning everything in life the hard way. because my family is kinda the old school...very conservative...harsh decipline. i don't want to bestow this to my children. i want them to grow up normal. never pushing them hard. and deciding what they should be when they become adults. i'll just direct and guide them in the right direction in their life. and as for what they want to do and become when they are adults. it's up to them what they want to be. the only thing i ask for them to do is finish their education.
i don't care if one of them becomes a bum...a freeloader...band player...as long as they finish their
education. this is the only thing i always remind them. finish your school and you will land a high
paying education...greenbacks...dead president...it's their choice...and i think they caught my drift. to them the magic word is the big choice...

the big choice...

(Gods) invitation is clear and nonnegotiable.
he gives all and we give him all. simple and
absolute. he is clear in what he asks and clear
in what he offers. the choice is up to us. isn't it
inredible that God leaves the choice to us? think
about it. there are things in life we can't choose. we
can't, for exsample, choose the weather. we can't
control the economy.
we can't choose whether or not we are born
with big nose or blue eyes or a lot of hair. we can't
even choose how people respond to us.
but we can choose where we spend eternity.
the big choice, God leaves to us. the critical decision
is ours.
that is the only decision which really matters.

"if you don't want to serve
the Lord, you must choose for yourselves
today whom you will serve."

-Joshua 24:15-

once again it's almost time for me to blog-off again. sorry, that my blog for the evening is kinda
short. but don't worry, my next blog should be longer that this one. i kinda run out things to blog
about. blogger blank mind...eheheh. i know you're probably wondering why i magically blog again this evening instead of this coming 15th of july...eventhough i'm feeling like a zombie after
a hard days work...my fingers got itchy again...i just have to do. blogging is addictive. it's like
smoking a stogie...getting high...drunk...out of mind...and out sight...eheheh...just kidding :P'.
i guess this it na for me for this wonderful humpday (wednesday) evening...i'll see you all folks
soon. have a happy blogger evening and morning in the web. Godbless. adios :P'.

the answer to arguments

unity doesn't begin in examining others but
in examining self. unity begins not in demanding
that others change, but in admitting that we aren't so
perfect ourselves...
the answer to arguments? acceptance. the first
step to unity? acceptance. not agreement,
acceptance. not unanimity, acceptance. not
negotiation, arbitration. those might come later
but only after the first step, acceptance.

"get along with each other,
and forgive each other. if someone does
wrong to you, forgive that person
because the Lord forgives you."

-Colossians 3:13-

my blog today is about argument. i don't know why i ended-up blogging about argument. i think
our day doesn't go by without arguing with someone in our everyday life...people at our work...
our love ones...friends...about anything that has to do with something...in politics...religion...love
life...children...sports...life...or something really stupid. just last week while i was on my vacation
my two co-workers got in each other's nerves. lily wants him to be flexible in his schedule when
he takes his breaks from work due to the workload they had last week. and not to be tightass
about it. danny didn't like the way she told him that, so he called her a bitch real loud. and did the shit hit the fan. big screaming match. no one won the argument because both of them are too
tight asses about it. no one want's to admit who is wrong. both of them just wants to look like two angels. i think the end result of this argument will be the silent treatment that lily will give
to danny for a long time. the same treatment she gave me and still giving me when i got in an argument with her three years ago. it was a very long story. she blamed me for something that
i didn't do. and in the end, i also called her the big b(itch) behind her back. and now i'm still paying for this. i already forgiven her long time ago...smiling at her day after day...being friendly
with her...but she's still plastic with me...with a big killer grudge. what can i do? some people are
like this. as for me, i usually forgive and forget after getting in an argument with someone...my loveones or friends. i am a lover not a hater or fighter...eheheh...:P'.
and while we are in the subject of arguments. i like to talk about something in the area of politics.
it's about the present president in the philippines that the native people wants to evict from her post. half of the people in that country are angry at her for cheating in the election and wants her to step down so that they can replace her with their chosen one and the other half half wants her to stay and let her finish her terms. two groups arguing with each other...angry...and in a boiling point. to me why replace her? it's like replacing a devil for another devil. why not just let
her finish her terms as long as she admitted to her wrongdoing and ask for forgiveness to the people that voted for her to be the president of the country. isn't this easy enough? other than
doing it the hard way through bloodshed...calamity...chaos...riot...and deaths. i don't why they
couldn't get this through their skulls. too much pride...filipino pride...but i call it chicken fried...
eheheh :P'...the country is slowly sinking low...the people in the philippines are too busy in their
agenda of arguing with each other in how to get rid of a president and who should replace her
while being too blind in their sorroundings. the poor are getting poorer...children are starving
to death...food are getting too expensive...the gas is in the same boat, too...criminals are getting
away with murder...politicians are getting rich...and their wallets fat with money...while their
croonies are following them around like lost souls...and last of all the rich are getting richer...
and still wants to be more richer. wake-up people back there. don't be blind, deaf, mute or live
in a pampered make believe world. this things are happening back there. i know about this for
a very long time. i am also a filipino born back there and raised in the stateside. this bad stuff
has been going on in that country even before i was born. if you ask me, i rather see her finish
her term as a president and then they can vote for a new devil to sit in the chair and run the
country in a crooked way away. maybe worst than before or less worst. the only thing i can say is don't be angry...

anger. it's easy to define: the noise of the
soul. anger. the unseen irritant of the heart. anger.
the relentless invader of silence...
the louder it gets the more desperate we
become...
some of you are thinking...you don't have any
idea how hard life has been. and you're right, i
don't. but i have a very clear idea how misreable
your future will be unless you deal with your anger.
x-ray the world of the vengeful and behold the
tumor of bitterness: black, menacing, malignant.
carcinoma of the spirit. its fatal fibers creep around
the edge of the heart and ravage it. yesterday you
can't alter, but your reaction to yesterday you can.
the past you cannot change, but your response to
your past you can.

"don't get angry.
don't be upset; it only leads to trouble."

-Psalm 37:8-

i guess this is it na for my blog for the evening. once again i know i'm not even suppose to blog until this coming 15th of july. my fingers got itchy...my mind was in the mood for blogging...while
my body is dead tired from working...in the end result my fingers still got itchy...eheheh. i'll try
to blog again tomorrow even if my body kills me. remember it's not a promise. Godbless...
remember God is still whispering your name. adios :-O.

p.s.

here are some God-given, time tested truths
that define the way you should navigate your life.
observe them and enjoy secure passage. ignore them
and crash against the ragged rocks of reality....:

* love God more than you fear hell.

* make major decisions in a cemetery.

* when no one is watching, live as if
someone is.

* succeed at home first.

* don't spend tomorrow's money today.

* pray twice as much as you fret.

* God has forgiven you; you'd be wise to do
the same.

kapish :P'

POWER (can be painful)

(power) comes in many forms.

it's the husband who refuses to be kind to
his wife...
it's the employees who places personal ambition
over personal intergrity.
it's the wife who withholds sex both to punish
and persuade.
it might be the taking of someone's life, or it
might be taking of someone's turn...
but they are all spelled the same P-O-W-E-R...
and all have the same goal: "i will get what i want
at your expense."
and all have the same end: futility...absolute
power is unreachable...when you stand at the
top--if there is a top--the only way to go down.
and the descent is often painful...
a thousand years from now, will it matter what
title the world gave you? no, but it will make a literal
hell of a difference whose child you are.

"the wisdom of this world
is foolishness with God."

1 Corinthians 3:19

in this world we live in...is either power or greed...is the name of the game in which humanity
feeds on it...like a thick arkansas molasses...especially in third world countries. for example in the philippines...everyone wants to be the president in that country...everyone wants to rule
the country. it's the power. it's the greed. and it always has to do with money. the more money
he gets from his croonies...the more he get's richer. and now the philippines wants to impeached
the ruling female president. because she cheated in the election. and was taking bribes from
gambling. why replace her with another devil? the former president before her was worst than
her. a short fat limping penguin womanizer. stole money from the country. deposited it in the bank under his mistresses identity. besides this, why did the people elected this person to be the president when he didn't went to college...no politic background...but only a famous action actor.
the fighter for the poor people in the philippines. i don't think so. to me he is just another greedy
person who only cares for himself...his list of friends...minus the poor people. even the present
president, just because she was a daughter of a former long ago president of the country...the
people voted for her. which don't make sense at all. i'm related with her in blood but is sure won't vote for her. she has to prove to me that she deserves to be the president. for some reason
people back in the philippines...just vote anyone to be the president of the country in the spur of the moment...blind mice leading a blind mice...all for one...one for all...which there is no justification in the end. life will always still be the same in the philippines...from bad to worst...
the rich gets richer...the poor gets poorer...and all the people in the philippines are still blind...
deaf...and mute...not in tune...not admitting that things are not going well all around them. so,
this is the question: "why impeach the present president and replace her with another? haven't
the people learned their lesson in the philippines? why replace a devil with another devil? which
in turn the new devil maybe worst than the former devil?" enlighten me in this subject. if you ask me, i'll just let her finish her term, as long as she admitted her mistakes and ask forgiveness
to the people and repay all the damages she did with the country and not looking like a wet looking smirking rat. this is my opinion. remember i keep away from politics. as much as posible
i don't vote. because to me all politicians are liars and big fat rats...eheheh.

"life is not measured
by how much one owns."

-Luke 12:15-

what is your price?

Jesus had a definitionfor greed. He called it
the practice of measuring life by possessions.
greed equates a person's worth with person's
purse.

1. you got a lot = you are a lot.

2. you got a little = you are a little.

the consequence of such philosophy is predictable.
if you are the sum of what you own, then
by all means own it all. no price is too high. no payment
is too much...
greed is not defined by what something costs;
it is measured by what it costs you.
if anything costs you your faith or your family,
the price is too high.

i guess this is it for me for the evening. almost time for me to hit the sack and catch my zzzz's.
i'm doggone tired from work and doing my home chores. today was my first day at work after
a weeks vacation and as usual it was also a very busy day for me at my work...wahhhh...i know
i'm not even suppose to blog today not until this 15th of july but i ended up getting itchy blogger
fingers...eheheh...i just gotta blog...get something off my mind. as long as i was able to blog today
in the dead of the evening...getting chinese eyes...from falling asleep...i'm happy and satisfied about it :P'. i guess it's almost time for to blog-off. once again folks...might not hear from me again until 15th of july. i'll try my dandest to blog again tomorrow. this is not a promise.
Godbless. and adios :P'.

hell

how could a loving God send people to hell?
that's a commonly asked question. the question
itself reveals a couple of misconceptions.
first, God does not send people to hell. he
simply honors their choice. hell is the ultimate
expression of God's high regard for the dignity of
man. he has never forced us to choose hime, even
when that means we would choose hell...
no, God does not "send" people to hell. nor
does he send people to hell. that is the second
misconception.
the word "people" is neutral, implying
innocence. nowhere does Scipture teach the innocent
people are condemned. people do not go to hell.
sinners do. the rebellious do. the self-centered do.
so how could a loving God send people to hell? he
doesn't. he simply honors the choice of sinners.

remember...

pray all the time. if necessary, use words.

God forgets the past. imitate him.

greed i've often regretted. generosity--never.

don't ask God to do what you want. ask
God to do what is right.

no one is useless to God. No one.

nails didn't hold God to the cross. love did.

you will never forgive anyone more than
God has already forgiven you.

"they continue saying things
that mean nothing, thinking that God will
hear them because of their many words."

-Matthew 6:7-

today is sunday at my little foggy town...kinda feeling religious...and this is the reason why i am
blogging in a religious way...it's my way of relaxing my mind and soul...in a dead of the night...
before the first day of my work week. today is also my last day of my vacation. glad it's over na.
and glad that i got all the rest i needed...to mend my mind and body...ready to tackle another
week of hard work that is waiting for me at my work :(...but most of all had a great time spending my short vacation with my loving family. i don't know what's waiting for me at my work. i'm always ready expecting the unexpected. nothing much happened with me today. other
than just slept almost half of the day. didn't even go out and explore the world. i'll be doing that
tomorrow when i go to work. and now here i am just blogging this blog for everyone out there.
and also today maybe my last day to blog. until this coming july 15th when i'm going to be back
again. reason being i'll be probably busy at work...dog tired when i get home...still have my padre de pamilya chores to do...by then i'm probably in the sack already catching my zzzz's. sorry for this bad news :(...but don't worry i'll be back again soon :P'...15th of july. bush tail and
wide eye...eheheh.
and speaking of today...nothing much is going on in the world...except the same stuff that we hear all the time in the news...terrorist attacks...suicide bombings in iraq...starvation...mayhem
...murders...political upheavals...riots...what a mad world we live in. don't you get tired of hearing
the same kinda news. i do. but i still care what happens in our mad world. i got to stay open
minded all around me. i can't be walking around blind, deaf or mute. gotta stand-up and fight for
your rights and freedom. this what happened to Martin Niemoller (1892-1984)...

"in germany they came first for the communist and i
didn't speak up because i wasn't a communist. then
they came for the jews and i didn't speak up because i
wasn't a jew. then they came for the trade unionist and
i didn't speak up because i wasn't a trade unionist.
then they came for the catholics and i didn't speak up
because i was a protestant. then they came for
me...and by that time, no one was left to speak up."

do you want this to happen? glad we live in the great u.s. of a. this is happening in the third world country. where there is no freedom. where corruption is the game. where murder is
the law. where everybody is blind...deaf...and mute.

"come at last to this point
i look back on my passion
and realize that i
have been like a blind man
who is unafraid of the dark."

-yosana akiko-

i guess this is it na for me for today. the last day of the week. my last day of vacation. getting ready and waiting for the beginning of a new day of the work week. i'll be back again soon on
the 15th of july. "enjoy life for life is too short." Godbless...and remember God is always
whispering your name. Adios :P'.

"midway along the journey of our life.
i woke to find myself in a dark wood,
for i had wandered off from the straight
path."

the purpose of life

mine deep enough in every heart and you'll
find it: a longing for meaning, a quest for purpose.
as surely as a child breathes, he will someday wonder
"what is the purpose of my life?"
some search for meaning in a career. "my purpose
is to be a dentist." fine vocation but hardly a
justification for existence. they opt to be a human
"doing" rather than a human "being." who they are
is what they do; consequently they do a lot. they
work many hours because if they don't work, they
don't have an identity.
for others, who they are is what they have.
they find meaning in a new car or a new house or
new clothes. these people are great for the economy
and rough on the budget because they are always
seeking meaning in something they own...some
try sports, entertainment, cults, sex, you name it.
all mirages in the desert of purpose...
shouldn't we face the truth? if we don't
acknowledge God, we are flotsarn in the universe.

-in the grip of grace-

"Love the Lord your God with all
your heart, al your soul, and all your mind."

-Matthew 22:37-

just blogging a little saying...a little prayer...and being religious in a big way...in this quiet saturday evening in my foggy little town. hope ya don't mind me blogging this way. from
time to time i'll be religious. it's in my heart. and i was raised catholic. and still a catholic.
i'm blogging-off. Godbless. adios :P'.

mad world

all around me are familiar faces
worn out places, worn out faces
bright and early for their daily races
going nowhere, going nowhere
their tears are filling up their glasses
no expression, no expression
hide my head i want to drown my sorrow
no tomorrow, no tomorrow

and i find it kinda funny
i find it kinda sad
the dreams in which i'm dying
are the best i've ever had
i find it hard to take
when people run in circles
it's a very, very mad world mad world

children waiting for the day they feel good
happy birthday, happy birthday
made to feel the way that every child should
sit and listen, sit and listen
went to school and i was very nervous
no one knew me, no one knew me
hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
look right through me, look right through me

and i find it kinda funny
i find it kinda sad
the dreams in which i'm dying
are the best i've ever had
i find it hard to take
when people run in circles
it's a very, very mad world...world
enlarging your world
mad world

-tears for fears-

isn't this a mad world we live in...all the chaos...tragedy...adversity...political upheaval...all around the world?...but then who wants to live in a perfect world...when nothing happens
all around us...too perfect for me...at least being in a mad world...let's you know that you
are human...one speck of sand...in a big dizzy world...what more can i say...my life is maddening,
too...both small and big :P'. i guess this is it again for me. it's already 9:20 a.m. over here in
my town of daly city...foggy and kinda windy as usual. time to watch the news in the television.
blogging-off. adios.

thursday

may this tomorrow never comes...

an endless temple,
paved with tar.
deliverence, a motorcar.
our god will have a concrete face.
heaven will be a parking space.
the latest angel, an aeroplane.
the final devil, the human brain.
our minds, like wheels, will faster spin,
our bodies locked in metal skin;
emotions, motorized to roll
on the fleeing mile of asphalt soul.
the throb of engines in our blood,
veins pumping oil in a flood,
that drives the failing dream to ache
for the final mile,
and the screeching brake.

-helen carter king-

just blogging a simple poem in my blog today with a throbbing headache to add to my bad day
today. normally for some reason thursday is always my bad luck day and good luck day which
ever comes first. today is kinda half and half. half good and half bad. but overall i didn't have a
bad day today. except for all the britons that were either killed or wounded in the the terrorist
bombing in london. godbless their souls and that everyone will turn out fine and back to their
normal lives. hope those frigging terrorist get caught and punished in an extreme prejudice.
give their arse to me and i'll get rid of them plain and simple. snuff their life. let their soul go to
heaven. where 81 studs are waiting for them to bust their arse instead of the 81 virgins...eheheh
...enough of this. i'm kinda getting in a violent mode. gotta go back to peace and love mode. and
speaking of love. i'm going to blog another simple love poem before i blogg-off. until then i'll
see ya all again later on. adios.

love comes in everyday life
bringing summery mornings
it leaves in the peak of the day
leaving behind
the coldness of a winter's night.

love may touch you
make you laugh and smile
but just for a moment
in life's brief while
souls touch in passing
in time's eternal movement
nothing is everlasting.

8:10 p.m.

every now and then go away,
have a little relaxation,
for when you come back
to your work
your judgement will be surer;
since to remain constantly at work
will cause you to lose power
of judgement...

go some distance away
because the work appears smaller
and more of it
can be taken in a glance,
and lack of harmony
or proportion
is more readily seen.

-leonardo da vinci-

just a simple poem in my blogging style while enjoying my week long vacation. thinking of my
work from time to time. but glad to be home relaxing and spending alot of time with my family.
what more can i ask? only get to take a week off every year for my vacation. and it's always in the first week of july. how ironic, it always land on 4th of july. either i'm being sentimental or
dedicated to the u.s. independence...too gung-ho...eheheh...i guess this is it na for me again. time
to play with my kids again. blogging-off. adios :P'

6:40 p.m.

the single man

i live alone
that wasn't always been
easy to do for just a single man.
sometimes at night the walls talk back to me
they seem to say wasn't yesterday a better day.

always alone
at home or in a crowd
the single man off on his private cloud
caught in a world that few men understand,
i am what i am, a single man.

once was a time
i can't remember when
the house was filled with love
but then again it might have been
imagination's plan to help along the single man.


-rod mckuen-

just blogging a little poem...remembering when i was still a single many moons ago...in this quiet
tuesday evening. the years for me went by so fast for me...didn't even notice it...been so busy
working...working...raising my kids. it was long ago i remember when my older son was a still
a baby napping away on my chest...and now he is a full growned teenager. time went by too fast
for me. and at the same time i'm aging more. wish i was still 21 years old...eheheh. i guess this is it na for me..until next time again. i'll see ya all folks and have a nice day. adios :P'.

bright and dark side

life has a bright side and dark side,
for the world of relativity
is composed of light and shadows.

if you permit your thoughts
to dwell on evil,
you yourself will become ugly.

look only for the good
in everything,
that you absorb
the quality of beauty.

-paramahansa yogananda-

just a little poem in the evening of 4th of july. didn't have no plans to go out and watch the fireworks in san francisco this evening. me and my family will just stay home and watch it
being televised in television...much better...less hustle...no headaches...driving there from the
fireworks and back home dealing with traffic. enjoyed being parked in front of my television
watching cold case after cold case in one of my favorite channels. feel liked a withering prune
...a stranded sperm whale...on my couch...eheheh :P'...just found out that a madacascar lemurs
are a bunch of millipid junkies...from the animal channel...eheheh...they're out of this world...
i thought i was bad...hahaha...i guess this is it na for me...time for me to blog-off...and be beam
somewhere again...see ya all later again...adios :P'.

greatest hits

here are some list of evil men and despots committing atrocities and celebrating their greatest hits with human kind...they say hitler was a devil...to me he is just a frigging pussycat compared to mao zedong and stalin...one is satan...and the other a devil...the only difference between mao
zedong...stalin and hitler...is that hitler and his croonies got caught with their pants down...
eheheh...and got blamed for all the shit they did...hey, i haven't forgotten about the u.s....they're
not miss goody-goody either...they've commited some bad stuff, too...shame on them...and for the list of the greatest hits...here they are:

- mao zedong was culpable for the deaths of 40,000,000 chinese.

- stalin killed 30,000,000 russians including the czars.

- hitler exterminated 6,000,000 jews.

- the colonization of north america exterminated 5,000,000 indians ('em white folks still won't
admit this.)

- pol pot slaughtered 1,650,000 cambodians.

- hutus plowed through 800,000 tutsis in rwanda in only 100 days.

- idi amin put 500,000 of his own people to death (he even had some for sex slaves and ate
some for dinner).

- sadam hussein (?) put 300,000 iraq people in the highway to hell.

- catholic church sacrificed 32,000 non-believers, heritics, and scumbags during the spanish
inquisition. (this don't include when they turned their back to the jews while they were being
exterminated by the nazis).

- japanese army wasted 23,000 filipinos and americans in the bataan death march (this don't
include the british, dutch, australians and all the people in the southeast asia the
accomplishment they commited against them).

- bosnians serbs killed 7,000 bosnians muslims in five days in srebenica (christians just having
fun with the muslims).

isn't this a mad insane world we live in?...there's alot of people who commited alot of greatest
hits in this world that i didn't include in the list 'coz i'll probably run out of space. this despot's
favorite saying is :"exterminate them all with extreme prejudice."
oh, well, i think this is enough in the history subject and in this wonderful 4th of july. i guess this
is it na for me for the time being. time for me to blogg-off and celebrate the 4th of july. have a
happy bang...bang...bang...kapow 4th of july :P'.

4th of july

happy 4th of july to everybody in the statesides...the great american independence day...the day
the americans gain their independence from the redcoats...if it wasn't from general howe's darn
bungled mistake at the battle of fort washington at manhattan, new york...he had the chance to
chase and capture general washington...after surrounding...routing...and defeating his troops in fort washington...but then he hesitated and decided that after capturing new york...the rebels were defeated soundly...capturing the prize city and cutting the rebels turf in half...was a big celebration... with the help from the hussein (krauts)...not knowing the spirit and drive for independence was so high for the rebels...that they never gave-up...especially with the leader like general washington...this is the reason why general howe choked in his decision...thus three years later the american rebel defeated them solidly...like a rock. but then i'm glad that the americans won...or else everyone in the stateside will be stiff neck...tight arses...with funny accents...craving for fish and chips...going crazy and dying watching soccer...like a hooligans...
having the steering wheel in the right side of the vehicle...driving in the wrong side of the road...
so glad that general washington...the first president...won the war...hey, got nothing against the
british...glad they're still our ally...eventhough we were shooting the white of their eyes in the revolution war...eheheh :P'
oh, well, enough of this darn history...world history i don't mind at all...but politics... i stay away
from it...never like it...especially them politicians. today i'll probably just stay him with the family and later on the evening we'll probably lit and fire some sane firecrackers...the legal kinds
...in celebration of 4th of july...it's the only time and holiday that we can lit-up firecrackers in the statesides. back then in the old days, when i was a kid growing-up in san francisco we were litting-up them illegal firecrackers...the strong and loud one...but then as years went by the cops were cracking down on it until it became illegal to sell...buy...and use it. the legal sane firecrackers is too babyish. i like the ones they have in the philippines. loud and dangerous.
i guess this is it na for me again in my blogging. it's already 10:45 am over here in daly city in the land of fog. i'll see ya all later again. adios :P'

blank

blank...blank...blank...it 9:50 am in a foggy sunday morning here in daly city...my mind is blank...
still half awake and half asleep...cold...shivering...gotta have my hot coffee...by the way, i haven't seen and let alone felt the summer weather in my dearly beloved foggy town...it seems like it's always foggy in my town every morning...too many filipino's using rice cookers in town...eheheh..
just a joke...right now, my mind is kinda blank...nothing to write about...no subject to discuss about...i'm having one of them lazy sundays...oh, well, maybe later on i got something on my mind to blog about...i'll be backkkk againnnn :P'

9:25 am west coast

good-morning yo out there in the web and the blogger world...ah, so! wuzz-a up-a?...just being acting abnormal this late early saturday morning...eheheh...giggle...giggle...got another product
that i'm going to type that the insane frigging vice magazine wrote about in their magazine i want to share with the blogger world...it's about the passover ten plagues finger puppet...

passover puppets

though every race has enjoyed the benefits of both being a slave
and owning slaves. God got really got mad at the egyptians when they
had Jews as slaves (they are the "chosen ones," after all). in order
to make it clear to the sand people that they had to free the Jews,
God threatened them with everything from blood to frogs to
darkness. what better way to convey this insanity to kids than with
finger puppets?

...hahaha...what a mad world we live in. i'm just ground starting myself early this morning to start this blog and the next blog this saturday. but for the meantime i have to cook breakfast
for my kids. they're already complaining they're hungry. shoot...what a way of starting my day.
don't worry i'll be back again and "i'll shall return" like what the great white savior macarthur
said to his little brown friends...oooops...soorrry nalang...i'm not making fun of my own kind :P'
blogging-off.

friday

thank-gawd it's friday again...day 1 of my vacation...gotta do some daily chores before i can relax...going to stop-by my bank at downtown...to make a deposit...pay my mortgage...car notes...misc. bills...and mail some letters at the post office...with my eldest son. we're probably
gonna eat our lunch at one 'em fastfood place in downtown before heading back home. luckily our subway transit (bart) is not going to strike yet until next week or else we'll have to end-up catching the bus transit...which is a drag...driving my p.o.v is out of the question...due to the fact
it's like driving in a maze in the downtown...and looking for a parking space is horrible...and if you do find a parking space it's normally for loading and unloading metered truck parking space...which in turn you're probably end-up getting a parking ticket which is very expensive or
worst getting your car towed-away by one 'em blood sucking parking meter maids...eheheh...
which will cost you a lots of ying-yang...just paperworks you have to go through just to get your
car out of the impound lot is terrible.
hopefully me and my son should have a good day today. probably leave later on this morning. right now i'm kinda feeling strange not being at work. i kinda got use to get-up in the morning
and go to work and do my routine. i feel like a robot whose battery juice drained-out. a little
bit of swift kick behind my arse...should jumpstart me again. i'll probably stop-by the rasputin
record to buy me a couple of cd's and music dvd. i normally buy eighter new or used cd and dvd
formats. i know the two cd's it's gonna be trance music and the dvd will be music. for some
reason i like buying my media at rasputin record store other than at the virgin record store.
sometimes i might buy me one cd at the virgin. the price of a cd or dvd at the virgin is more
expensive than the rasputin. i think it's the name of the store rasputins and the sales ladies
that work there intrigues me in a big way. all you have to do is look at rasputins picture and that's how those sales people that work at rasputins looks like...eheheh...wild...free...and sometimes on drugs. i like rasputin. mad and out of his mind. responsible for russia's downfall
after world war one and the termination of the country's ruling loyal family and his untimely
death in the hands of individuals that hated him with compassion.

rasputin

poisoned.

shot 12 times.

thrown in the river.

...eheheh...what a man...can't beat beat being assasinated the hard way. and speaking of the sales ladies in rasputin why i like better than the ones in the virgin...is because they're wild...into
punk...a little bit of goth...and untasteful...not like the virgin sales ladies...which is young and sexy...goody-goody...and plastic...like 'em stepford wives...eheheh...one thing that's good
about 'em virgin sales ladies is that they are all white chicks with nice round butts...eheheh :P'
i guess it's time for me to blog-off na. i 'll see you all again later on this evening. good-night or
good-morning out there in the web. adios :P'
