ALAGAD NG SINGIT, KASINGIT-SINGITAN NGA NAMAN!
...habang pinapanood ko ito, nakipanood din 'yung officemate ko na lawyer, sabi nya, 'yung pagkaka-issue daw ng TRO ng Supreme Court, "GOOD SIGN" daw 'yun...kasi kung totoo daw sa tungkulin ang Supreme Court, ang babasehan daw nila d'yan eh 'yung batas o guidelines sa pagpili ng National Artist. Hindi daw magde-deliberate ang Supreme Court kung art nga ba ang mga gawa ni Caparas o kung visual artist mismo si Caparas...
...'yun eh kung "totoo" nga ang Supreme Court...abangan!
Pero tandaan mo Caparas, 'di pa tapos ang laban!

Swine Flu Hoax?
The article below is something to look into. this is how helpless we are where we can be manipulated as they wish. who are these they?
Dr. Lorraine Day is the lady who discovered where AIDS came from after spending a year or more in the Library of Congress. She wrote a book exposing it about 15 years ago. Bottom line is that AIDS was created in a lab at Ft. Deitrick , Maryland by the criminals posing as govt.
Here we go again....
Swine Flu Hoax?
So who are the swine behind the swine flu?
Whenever I begin to see blaring headlines regarding the word “pandemic”, I make a call to Dr. Lorraine Day, the former chief of Orthopedic Surgery at USF. http://www.drday. com/ Not one to mince words, and a dogged researcher, I can count on Lorraine to give me the big picture behind the headlines. I made that call yesterday. Her first words, underscored with a hearty laugh, were “It’s just another hoax!”
Here’s the long and short of it according to Lorraine .
First, the government is continuing on it’s path to incite panic so we will ideally demand to have protection from these ‘killer virus’ via vaccinations. This would help avert a less popular mandatory vaccination program, which is what the Elite would like to see happen. Lorraine is also quick to point out that truly noxious vaccines are being developed in laboratories that combine human and animal virus' that can seriously compromise our immune systems if we allow them to be administered to us.
Secondly, she said that the Center for Disease Control needed to move their stockpiles of the flu drug Tamiflu, which didn't make it out to the masses during the last panic, which was the 'bird flu'. I find it interesting that Tamiflu was supposedly created as the antidote to bird flu, but the CDC now says it actually works just fine for swine flu too. It would appear that the stuff is quite non-specific in nature for what is considered to be a very specific strain of flu. Hummm. Anyway, pharmacy chains such as CVC are now stocking up in preparation for the “pandemic”.
As an aside, it may not surprise you to know that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is a major stockholder in Gilead Sciences, a California bio tech firm that owns the rights to Tamiflu. A CNN report from 2005, when we were were being threatened with the bird flu, put Rumsfeld’s holdings somewhere between $5,000,000 to $25,000,000. This is the same gentleman who brought us the excitotoxin Aspartame, now known to cause serious neurological problems in humans. But, less I digress.....
Lorraine went on to say that 12, 60, even 120 deaths from flu do not make a pandemic. More than 500,000 people a year die from various flu virus’. There are still active flu strains out there from all of the usual sources. In fact, it was just reported that 2 young people in the Sacramento area were tested to have been infected with the swine flu virus, but, no worries, they recovered from their flu in 24 hours. Sounds just like the flu that’s been going around through my friends and other acquaintances over the past few weeks in Sacramento .
To further the story, she said that Prince Charles recently pushed for the subject of Developmental Sustainability be pushed to the top of the G-20 agenda. Developmental Sustainability is the code word for de-population according to Dr. Day. As you may recall, Charles’ father, Prince Phillip, when asked what he would like to come back as if he had another life, said “A virus.” The idea was that he would then be able to kill off the useless members of society. What a gentleman.
In short, Lorraine says do not worry. Just do your body a favor by eating a good clean diet full of fresh vegetables and fruits, get some sunshine and fresh air, turn to your spiritual practice, relax and, under no circumstances, allow yourself to be vaccinated. We're all exposed to flu bugs, but if you can keep your immune system strong, you have nothing to worry about and the only swine involved here are those who are trying to keep us in fear.

Si IVY ARAGO? Congresswoman ng San Pablo City mismo...TRAPO din pala siya eh!
Datirati kasi, hindi namin pinapansin..."give her the benefit of the doubt" daw...n'ung nasa high school kami, medyo nakasama ko siya sa isang cultural org or event, pero hindi kami gan'un masyado ka-close, pero impression ng lahat ng grupo, at pati schoolmates nya eh supladita siya. Tapos ng makita namin syang nangangampanya at super friendly sa mga tao, kumakaway, nakataas talaga mga kilay namin. Politika eh...hayaan lang, baka naman hindi trapo at friendly ang talaga, sa loob namin.
Aba, eh kaso ngayon, medyo lumabas na ang tunay nyang mga sungay! 'di pala kami nagkamali ng hinala! Haaayyyy...ang nagagawa nga naman ng kapangyarihan...kapag naluklok na, ayaw ng umalis....
Si San Luis ng 4th District naman, 'di ko siya kilala, pero medyo expected dahil dinastiya ng pulitika an gusto niya...pero si Arago, na kabagobago pa lang sa puwesto, at bata pa ha, eh lumalabas na kaagad ang pagkabuwaya!, Tsk, tsk, tsk...KAKAHIYA TALAGA KAYO!

Murder mystery!
Murder Mystery (true story)... A must read
For those who have served on jury...this one is something to think about...Just when you think you have heard everything!!
Do you like to read a good murder mystery?
Not even Law and Order would attempt to capture this mess. This is an unbelievable twist of fate!!!!
At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, (AAFS) President, Dr. Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story:
On March 23,1994 ... the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus, and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide.
He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly.
Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
The room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun! The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking Mr. Opus.
When one intends to kill subject 'A' but kills subject 'B' in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject 'B.'
When confronted with the murder charge, the old man and his wife were both adamant, and both said that they thought the shotgun was not loaded. The old man said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, assuming the gun had been accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother.
Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
Now comes the exquisite twist ... Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder.
This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window.
The son, Ronald Opus, had actually murdered himself. So the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.
A true story from Associated Press.

...that's Shakespeare in love!
Anyways, mas una kong nagustuhan 'yung kanta, then matagal ko ng hinanap 'yung pelikula...at sa wakas, napanood ko na nga!
Okay naman, aliw, wehehehe, gusto ko 'yung role ni Dame Judy Dench, at gusto ko 'yung damit nyah, bonggah!
Oh...at si Fafah Colin Firth, okay pa la siya na villain o lalarkeng-lalarke? Tumatak kasi siya sa akin sa Bridget Jones' Diary, oh well, that's another story...
Wehehe, aliw talaga....
Pero siyempre. eto 'yung kanta na wala naman sa pelikula...remix na ito eh, mas gusto ko 'yung original, kaso wala akong makitang mtv...
...at eto lyrics at kung sino kumanta....
Shakespeare in Love
Layla Kaylif
He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A sinister romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see
Teachin' torches to burn bright
She's hanging on the cheek of night
A snowy dove trooping with crows
He never saw true beauty till tonight
CHORUS:
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A glittery romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see
His bounty's boundless like the sea
His love is endless, just as deep
The more he gives the more he has
`Cause both of them are truly infinite
CHORUS:
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love
A sinister romantic
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
CHORUS:
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love
