When she was a college student, my mother was also "invited" for questioning. One of many invitations she received. My father was a human rights abuse victim. I use "was" because he died when I was five years old. I personally know people who were human rights abuse victims, or whose family and friends died or became deseparacidos during and even after the Martial Law years. Any form of power tripping by any government or military official angers me. You may comment on this post but I will not say anything more.

A New Dream: To Have My Own Billboard!
While watching Bench and ABS-CBN's Be Bench Model Search last Sunday, I suddenly got jealous of the contestants who now have a billboard along EDSA.

Seriously though, I WANT MY OWN BILLBOARD with my Photoshopped face and Photoshopped body distracting them people while they pass by it while stuck in traffic. And not distract in a bad or annoying way ha... I'm SO WEIRD!!!
Papa's Table by Rene Lizada
Sunstar Davao columnist Rene Lizada talks about being proud of his son Miguel Lizada who is also a columnist for the same paper, and a teacher at the AdMU School of Humanities' English Department... I would not come close to Miguel if I were his age. He is that good as a writer and I am grateful that he is. When a student exceeds a teacher, the teacher has been successful. When a child surpasses a parent you know that the parent has done something right. Of course as a parent we fumble but there are times when we do something good. He then expounds on how parents' love (or lack of it) for their children can shape their children... ...the beauty and the danger lie for if our parents grew up with a twisted perverted sense of love, chances are they will pass on those traits to us. In all possibility what they know about love they will show to their children. If our parents grew up in a loving environment then children will be loving and warm. If our parents accept us for what we are then we will feel secure about ourselves. If on the other hand…

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PAROKYA NI EDGAR! Now that Rico Blanco is not with Rivermaya anymore, Parokya ni Edgar is now the only Pinoy Band at the top of my list.

Chito miranda: Hindi ko alam kung bat ako kasama dito Sama-sama sa mga pasabog nila kiko at ni glock - astig patinikan ng bibig Teka muna teka lang painom muna ng tubig Shift sa segunda bago mapatumba Dapat makaisip ka na rin ng maganda At madulas ang pagbigkas At astig baka sakaling marinig Ng libo libo na pilipino nakikinig sa mga pabibo ko Di ka ba nagugulat sa mga naganap Di ko din alam kung bat ako sikat Para bang panaginip na pinilit makamit Talagang…
