Felix.. What?!

One fine Sunday with my videoke friends, I spotted a song that made me laugh my stinking ass out...



And I wonder what this song sounds like.




Sorry Felix. Pinoys always have a very naughty (yet nice) passion for life. ;-)

Comeuppance


Each of us deserves an outcome. It may not matter if it's good or bad as long as it was deserving.

Ignore Is...



...Just One Push of a Button.

How far will you ignore?

Scenario:

Ronald, a friend yours asked you a big favor that leads to the word help. He's in dire need. He asked you via the very reliable "private messaging" or PM's on one of the largest networking site human race has ever stumbled upon. You, on the other end was contemplating weather to: read it and take no action or read and seek on how to help, or worst, ignore it.

After a day of Ronald's plead for help message, he sees you updating your status almost after 11 hours, updating profiles, answering quizzes (that only makes you feel stupid but consider answering them rather than die in boredom) and up loading pictures every after twenty five minutes.

What kind of a shrewd person are you, doing such ignoring?

-------------

The art of ignoring is so complicated and vast that a number of us right now are very much into it. You ignore a call from your mom whom you consider a nagger and yet you seek her aid every time you do less-human things. You ignore a person who only tries to talk to you decently and humanly. You ignore a person's asking for forgiveness and yet God sees you every Thursday in St. Jude Church asking for hope. You ignore a smile from a stranger that won himself a brand new cellphone after so many years that he or she only wants to share to you his or her celebration by means of beaming. You ignore a pamphlet given to you and you impolitely looks at them in disgust. You ignore a parent's help because as a young adventurous person, you think highly and more self-proficient than them. You ignore and exchange the highest footbridge you ever saw in Edsa and Commonwealth for your life's safety. You ignore a condom because you feel manly without them thus an unwanted child was born and a punch of reality hits you that life is much harder now. You ignore time, because you learn that time was never your comrade.

You ignore much of me because you know to yourself that I can not for you.

And a whole much more of ignoring. Different reasons for different ignoring scenarios.

You can not ignore life forever.

----------

See the picture?

Easy for us to do those "updating" things but to answer something like "Pare, di kita matutulungan e. Pasensiya na." or "I can help but not in a grand scale. But at least I can." is already a burden for their lazy fingers to type. It is always more appreciated when we say no or yes rather than ignore. Was it because you have asked a sign from God and you felt ignored? And to make the world a better place, you ignore people as well? These called "people" that we refer to have a heart, for your information.

As we progress as a person, we also profoundly progress in ignoring much of ourselves.

Heavy Words From A Heavy Film

Teddy Diaz: Think about this jett.. 'pag may nawala sa isang tao, anong ginagawa?

Jett Pangan: Hinahanap.

Teddy: What if 'di mahanap?

Jett: Pinapalitan.

Teddy: What if 'di mapalitan?

Jett: Kinakalimutan...

Teddy: Last question, ano ang gagawin if yung nawala, ay hindi mahanap, hindi mapalitan at hindi makalimutan?

Jett: Tatanggapin...
