What is a pure filipino? I can accept Philippine-bred or locally-bred but pure filipino you guys are out of your mind. The Philippines is an amalgamation of races so unless you can trace your roots, you people should shut up. Such a load of bullcrap when filipinos discriminate against their own. In case you do not know, the constitution says that filipinos born abroad are natural-born filipinos because at least one of the parents have filipino blood. Okay I think of it this way. I was not born abroad but a locally-bred one. I was born in the province of Palawan, was raised in Marinduque. I have also relatives in Bataan, Laguna, Batangas and Cebu. So naturally when I am always interested in hearing news about these places and when I have the opportunity to go to these places to visit them, why not? That is why we should educate the ignorant. In a bigger scale, say, that higher powers are keeping track of the Earth? Hey this is for no one in particular. I have this stand in sports forums long, long ago. I can give you proof if you want.

Apocalypse
I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash against me and be broken!
I know more of this world than you can even dream. That is why I must destroy it!
You puny humans! - Apocalypse from X-men
I did tell you that suppose these "christians" are story-tellers, with their imagination they concocted stories about Jesus. Also I told you that the writers possibly want to change their names as is not uncommon in today's novelists. Any more questions? I give you an example. When you read these Bible stories about in prison, in dungeon or in chains, its like in a Richard Marx song, "Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart, 'Cause I've been lonely too long, You've got to break these chains around my heart, So I can finally get on with my life". No, not necessarily about me, just an example.
And the commandment is go and multiply, why are people being hypocrite and hide celibacy in their long gowns. Come on, you are not following God's will. I told you Jesus married, that is implied in the Bible because as authors, they will keep on writing. In view of privacy, my best guess is that he used an alias just like the Katipuneros and writers at the century turn. But do not confuse, this commandment to pro-create without regard for the well-being of the off-springs. We have babies, toddlers, adolescents, adults and the elderly. This command is for adults who understands what it is to be parents. Do not reproduce beyond your means. What we want is for smart people to reproduce smarter children.

Eunuchs
In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh have designated eunuchs to guard his wife. Its like bodyguards but they have castrated reproductive organs to prevent accidents. My opinion is that eunuchs have special skills that is why the Pharaohs entrusted his wife to these people. Why you say. Let tell you about cats, when you castrate them, they become bigger cats. Most of the biggest cats I seen in cat shows are castrated. So does that mean that humans will become bigger when castrated? Not necessarily, but I think their other senses will be more developed than usual thereby having special skills. Like skills for a bodyguard. There are women who have their reproductive organs removed, does not make them less of a woman. Because what they feel is in the soul. More than about the physical. It follows that these nutrients which are supposed to be going to the pituitary gland will be distributed instead to other parts of the body and this is where I think special abilities are acquired.
Fight Club
Okay about time I talk about martial arts. I watched documentaries about martial arts and I can say that there are similarities in the styles, like Judo for example, i seen an Indian tribe doing some Judo moves, so one must wonder. Where did it originate? The chinese of course has their martial arts, as most of the East, meanwhile the West have their boxing and fencing. Bruce Lee was from China to Taiwan to the U.S.A. Meanwhile the couple of Japanese brothers I think went to Brasil and started the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu there. So its also migration that influences people. Like me and my brother were watching Thai boxing before, this thai has a habit of kicking his other calf as his rhythm to throw kicks. So when I told him about it, he thought it was cool, so from thereon he likes to kick his other calf as well. Like I said, globalization influences everyone.

These days (12)
Reviewing films
I also make film reviews when I feel like it:
Inception
I was able to watch Inception again last weekend. The film has an ambitious and unbelievable premise – that some people can influence others by simply tapping into their unconscious minds. It gets crazier when they attempt to influence a dream within a dream within a dream when Di Caprio’s character rescued the japanese. When the Japanese people see this, they would view that Americans are trust-worthy and you can depend on them even to the ends of the earth. Now, that is where real influencing comes in.
Interstellar
Ever since i heard the soundtrack of Interstellar in YT several months ago, i was already looking forward to the movie. The music evoked emotions of excitement, fear, love and hope. And i'm glad the soundtrack mirrored the film. 5/5 stars.
With the movie set at time when Dirt plagues the earth and discovering Gravity as the answer I somehow connected the story to the music industry which many consider as Dirt nowadays. A lot of recent songs also mention Gravity in their lyrics. For one Jordin Spark's No Air. Jordin sounds like Jordan. And Michael Jordan's jersey number is 23. In the movie, 23 years had elapsed when Cooper and Brand (McConaughey and Hathaway) returned to the ring-like space navigator where their shuttle docked and the black man was there waiting. I think this was from their first expedition (Miller's planet?). Ok silly thought maybe but that was the first thing that entered my mind.
Daenerys is a snake
Not a dragon or targaryen. Before you read further, this contains a spoiler so you can stop reading now. I have read the five novels of A Song of Ice and Fire by GRRM, with the Game of Thrones the first book. So in Esos, if I remember correctly, where Daenerys is traveling and gathering troops, she arrives in a city and became interested in a very loyal and capable army known as the Unsullied. The governor of the city meanwhile is interested in one of the dragons so a deal was made. After the deal was made, Daenerys, who already has command of the Unsullied, who I mentioned, are very loyal, she commanded the Unsullied to arrest the governor and she captured the whole city with the trained Unsullied. Not fair. I don't why the author GRRM does that, if you remember Jaime Lannister who was sort of the main man there, he suddenly cut his arm. He sort of become an invalid. How can he continue to be a swordsman? This author is cruel. Like when he let that butcher decapitate the character of Sean Bean, who's the the father of sansa and arya. Arya will later on become somewhat a buddhist and an assassin. My favorite place there is the Eyrie where they have the moon door. The Eyrie is located couple of miles up the valley so the moon door is some kind of where they throw people as death execution. And liken this novels like X-Men set in the medieval time. But the author is kind of slow in writing. Many fans are worried he might not finish the stories. Talk about being pressured. Maybe he is just copying from the anime Naruto. Going back to Daenerys, I remember this parable wriitten by Senator Juan Flavier about a snake and a farmer. You see this farmer raised this snake from a baby. Fed it and cared for it and stuff. But one time, the snake bit him. The farmer asked why. The snake said, "I'm a snake, its my nature". What I mean with this. Maybe its like with the zodiac where the characteristics and traits of animals are like with the person.

Wake up people
Qur'an (61:10-12) "O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty? That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew! He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement." This verse was given at the battle Uhud and uses the Arabic word, Jihad.Books can take you as far as your imagination can take you. This means Jihad is to learn knowledge. Films and other media also does that. You must study so you can become successful, contented and happy in life. This is the reward. Come on guys. The war is against ignorance so people must be educated.

These days (11)
Perks of being attractive
Lets admit it, attractive people get ahead most of the time. Because maybe people they associate attractiveness with goodness. And sometimes that is correct. And sometimes not. But what really matters is beauty inside. Sounds like bull I know. You become good inside by studying. That is why I cannot stress enough the importance of education. Without education, you will not realize that people have dominion over animals. A simple experimentation will prove that. Say talk to the animal and ask "1+1=___".
Name-dropping
People do this a lot. Are you that insecure that you have to mention someone popular to be accepted by society or peers? I am friends with this guy, I ate with this guy, I went to this place, I rub elbows with this celeb and so. Actually almost everyone I meet who graduated from U.P. will always, at one time or the other, will say "When I was in U.P.,...." What is the root of this phenomenon? Tell me, I'm all ears. What I can say is that if you are confident and have the brains to back it up, then name-drop all you can. But if not, its a shame to your university. That goes for all unis I guess. :)
Sports betting
There's this Indian parable titled Blind Men and an Elephant. These blind men touched an elephant in different parts. One who touched the tail says Elephant is a rope, one touched the trunk and says it is a branch of a tree, one touched who touched the belly say it is a wall and so on. People will see what they wanna see. But what people should realize is to see the big picture. See the whole elephant. Lets say in a boxing match, why would you search and trust words from a 'wizard' when experts abound there? Honestly this is limiting my vocabulary because I have to review every word and phrase. What I have here is a guide, kind of like the Bible. Trust the boxing and basketball experts for the evaluations.
The blazers
VC is my main man in the NBA but when it comes to a team, hands down its the Portland Trailblazers. Something about the railways logo. Clyde Drexler, Jerome Kersey, Steve Smith, Kevin Duckworth, Arvydas Sabonis, Guaransheed, even Scottie Pippen played there. I occasionally watch them since those days so I am familiar with some like Roy, Aldridge and Batum but these days, not that much. They say the Lillard kid is that good, looks to be true from the clips I have seen.
My beef with beef
Man is to have dominion over plants and animals. Worshiping animals is against the Bible. And there is only one truth. All these ancient texts agree with each other. They have mis-understood and allowed animals to have dominion over them. What do you feel being governed by animals? I must say some people have the intelligence and its up to them to educate their people, from babies, toddlers, adolescents, adults and the elderly. I mean people have different levels of understanding.
Before the waking hours
Not sure on the exact title but the book's a collection of pictures taken in the city before sunrise. So one time I went to feel what is like to roam the streets when everybody is asleep. There is silence, calm and peace. Next time I will take shots. Which brings me to another point. Why aren't people looking forward to the sunrise? Most will say the sunset it is romantic blah blah. For me it is the opposite. Sunrise gives hope, energy and progress. It sets the tone for the day. You will get more activities done if you rise early. Not saying that people work more hours, I'm saying get things done early so you can relax early as well.
Gambit
My favorite X-Men character, his touch charges up energy to any material which explodes when there is too much energy build-up. That is why he always wears gloves to avoid accidently injuring people. He also brings cards for use as shurikens.
Speed
There's this adrenaline rush when you drive fast. I have this Toyota Hilux issued to me as company car. You know the freeways in Malaysia are a long continuous stretch of road. I floored the gas to max speed of about 100mph. For professionals only hehe. Kids do not try this. My co-workers were scared of my driving since then.
Bill Gates
Read he visited the Philippines last week. I have a question. Sherlock Holmes has a brother named Mycroft. Kind of an eccentric guy with eccentric job and eccentric friends. Showed up two times in Holmes' novels. Okay is Mycroft the inspiration for Microsoft?
Sports and Entertainment
These are universal languages, an ice-breaker. For example there's this black guy from Africa in our workplace. He told me he plays football. Then I say you know Drogba. Believe me his eyes lighted up and we chatted some more about football. Next time I saw him he was sporting a Drogba jersey. One time at the tennis courts, I just met this elderly Italian guy. Name's Giuseppe. I told him I am a fan of Gabriela Sabatini who has beautiful one-handed backhand stroke. Of course she's a looker as well. He teached me how to serve later. When I was in Malaysia, like I said Indonesians/Malaysians would ask about Filipino TV shows. Freddie Aguilar's Anak is well-known there. Can't think of more stories this time. But it really is a good thing to open your eyes and see the world. You will influence them and be influenced by them. Essence of globalization. However as I say, keep the good practices and get rid of the bad. I would like to add some people in my twitter however I cannot figure how to unlock my account. I'm not techie.
The Fast and the Furious 7
I don't see why people get emotional with this film. Its funny and some scenes may be hilarious but I felt nothing about it. Seriously. When they showed the pictures from the past, I was like Yeah Okay. Or maybe I am just not a fan of the series that I cannot relate to it.
Ashes to ashes
Actually I seen the Chinese do this practice of ashes to ashes last week. The practice of cremating lifeless bodies is also biblical and scientific. Ashes to ashes it says there. And this helps the environment a lot. Putting bodies in coffins is an absurd way of practicing ashes to ashes. Also you see cemeteries just crowd the cities. The soul leaves the body upon death, you cannot do anything for their souls in the cemetery. Waste of time and space. You want to remember them, then make them proud. Lead a good life that will add to their legacies. Ashes dilutes into the ocean and eventually it joins the dirt. This is even better than having ashes in jars or burying it in land. Thumbs up.
Zodiac
Lets talk about zodiacs although I been talking about it already in previous posts. I am a Piscean and as a water sign I am sensitive as the water takes place of whatever container it is poured into. Like other water sign like Scorpio and Cancer I guess. But the difference I think is like the skin of the fish is soft, meaning they are easily amused and of course easily hurt as well. It shows. Unlike Scorpio and Cancer which have hard shells to cover whatever they are feeling. Inside of these shells are soft meat. Sagittarius I told you already, they want to run wild until they be tamed by a horse whisperer. Taurus is a hard-worker definitely represents the bull family and stubborn but can be controlled when a rope is inserted into their nose and pulled to obey. Leos are lions, the king of the jungle. I read ancient people picks people born under this sign to be leaders. For the other signs, have to know more people of their signs to make observations.

Slamdunk Overload
Tuesday, August 4, 2009
Slamdunk Overview
Slamdunk revolves around Sakuragi Hanamichi, an absolute beginner in basketball, and how he learns the fundamentals of the game to become a very remarkable player in the end. The writer/illustrator Inoue Takehiko was definitely influenced by the NBA and it shows in the sketches of the players, their likeness, their playing style, attitudes and mannerisms while the love triangle between Sakuragi, Haruko and Rukawa can be likened to a Stan Lee story.
In the succeeding posts, i will be talking about the following Slamdunk characters, teams and their NBA counterparts.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Shohoku #10
Kaede Rukawa, Shohoku #11
Takenori Akagi, Shohoku #4
Ryota Miyagi, Shohoku #7
Hisashi Mitsui, Shohoku #14
Akira Sendoh, Ryonan #7
Jun Ouzomi, Ryonan #4
Shinichi Maki, Kainan #4
Kenji Fujima, Shoyo #4
Toru Hanagata, Shoyo #5
Kiccho Fukuda, Ryonan #13
Ryoji Ikegami, Ryonan #5
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Shohoku #10
Rebound King? Diving for loose balls? Fiery, explosive, arrogant, trouble-maker and well-known for his exploits on the court as well as off the court. How many hairstyles has he had in his Spurs-Bulls days?
Kaede Rukawa, Shohoku #11
The cool quiet reserve, the acrobatic dunks and furious finishes, and overall versatility. Who else can he be but his Airness himself, Michael Jordan. But Rukawa's legion of lady fans and sleepiness... I'm not sure if that is Jordanesque.
Ryota Miyagi, Shohoku #7
The speedy guard who proclaims he is the best Point Guard in Japan, is a terrific defender and got some hops too. Why even the haircut resembles Kevin Johnson, who made his name alongside Barkley and the Phoenix Suns when they made a run to the 1993 NBA finals. He made quite an impression on the highlight reels with an emphatic in-your-face dunk on Hakeem Olajuwon.
Toru Hanagata, Shoyo #5
The first dominating big man of the NBA George Mikan throws hook shots like Hanagata. He too uses spectacles.
The Teams
Based on the colors and the style of lettering on their jerseys, Shohoku has to be the Chicago Bulls, Ryonan the Utah Jazz, Shoyo the Boston Celtics, and Kainan, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Takenori Akagi, Shohoku #5
Akagi is nicknamed The Fly Swatter and the not-so-endearing Gorilla. He has been the lone bright spot for Shohoku until the arrival of Ryota, Mitsui and the super-rookies. Sounds like the story of Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon.Ryota Miyagi, Shohoku #7

Why even the haircut resembles Kevin Johnson, who made his name alongside Barkley and the Phoenix Suns when they made a run to the 1993 NBA finals. He made quite an impression on the highlight reels with an emphatic in-your-face dunk on Hakeem Olajuwon.
Hisashi Mitsui, Shohoku #14
The shooting posture is undeniably owned by Jeff Hornacek, the Utah Jazz's sniper from the outside. Interestingly, left knee injury which sidelined Mitsui in his first year is also the injury that forced Hornacek to retire.
Akira Sendoh, Ryonan #7

Akira Sendoh, Ryonan #7
The one whom Rukawa and Sakuragi are aching to defeat, the spike-haired point-forward and ace scorer of Ryonan is the alter-ego of Scottie Pippen.
Shinichi Maki, Kainan #4
His all-around game and flexibility makes him Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers. Check out the purple lettering on Kainan.
Jun Ouzomi, Ryonan #4
Just like Patrick Ewing, his team always falls short of winning in big games. What a laugh when the pair of Akagi and Ouzumi turns Gorilla-like. Hahaha.
Kenji Fujima, Shoyo #4
Shinichi Maki, Kainan #4
His all-around game and flexibility makes him Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers. Check out the purple lettering on Kainan.
Jun Ouzomi, Ryonan #4
Just like Patrick Ewing, his team always falls short of winning in big games. What a laugh when the pair of Akagi and Ouzumi turns Gorilla-like. Hahaha.
Kenji Fujima, Shoyo #4
Fujima is a playing-coach, his deliberate and calculated moves makes him John Stockton.
The first dominating big man of the NBA George Mikan throws hook shots like Hanagata. He too uses spectacles.
The Teams
Based on the colors and the style of lettering on their jerseys, Shohoku has to be the Chicago Bulls, Ryonan the Utah Jazz, Shoyo the Boston Celtics, and Kainan, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Alterations
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.Genetic-modificatiion of animals and plants is congruent to the Bible because it were given to men and women to have dominion. Including survival. Moreover, Leviticus 19:28 permits cosmetic surgery as long as it is for the good. I have a flat nose and I can tell that is a source of insecurity for me. So if people have the money to spend, why not? It is for their well-being. They become a new person and can create and/or contribute good things. Same applies to people born with physical imperfections. Like people with cleft lips and palates, I appeal to those who are rich to help these people.
However when it comes to transgenders, it is against the law. Leviticus verse above says that you shall not cut your flesh because of corrupted purposes. The Bible is fair but firm, God created man and woman. What homosexuals have are demons. These are the demons inside humans - lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. If you have lots of these demons in you, how can you be a good role-model? My advice to homosexuals, if you cannot contain your demons, stay single. You are also made in the image of God meaning you know what is good but you cannot get rid of them. Of course its hard to discipline yourself, so people have to discipline you or give you hell. That said, we should equally give hell to these people who have other demons or sins or corruptions mentioned above. Lets us all criticize and reprimand each other to displace sins.

My family
My Dad was the NFA provincial manager in Marinduque. Previously in Palawan and after he retired, he went to Romblon and eventually with us in Manila.
We were all born in Palawan.
mom is a supermom. I don't think we are showy with our emotions but still I know she loves our family equally. In the zodiac, she is a Libra, a woman blindfolded with a weighing scale. It means she weighs all things first and foremost. Like if we are eating, she talks of the ones not present. I know the difference because I am the favorite of my Dad. Not a slight to her, its just her personality. You cannot force someone to like you and you to others as well. The zodiac really tells a lot. I'm a Piscean, the water sign, it takes the shape of the container. Meaning we are sensitive. That goes for other water signs as well. I told you about my brother, he is a Sagittarius or the horse that is difficult to control unless you are the horse whisperer. Let's see my Dad and my sister have the Cancer sign, the crab, has a
These days (10)
Knock
"The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door..."
*this is the shortest horror story as they say, however, black spinning:
"The last man on Earth sits alone in a room.
There is a knock on the door.
It is from the last woman on Earth."
At the malls
Is like cross referencing books, you can enjoy the variety they have to offer. The twin malls in the West, the SM North Edsa, I have been going there since I was in high school and also now, Trinoma which is the newer one. I'd say the cinemas in Trinoma cut the playing time in movies because I have compared same movie actually. Interstellar played the entire duration in SM MOA. I tole you also about the eyes there, its like exercising when I walk there.
Actually
Actually, I use actually to emphasize a point. Notice there's a pause after the word 'actually', so the listener subconsciously knows that what you will be saying is important.
Studying medicine
Yup this dawned on me just earlier because I always been interested in the advancements in medicine. Problem is I would rather skip dissecting animals and humans. And I am also scared of ghosts and cadavers. Once I find myself at the backyard of the PGH and saw bloated bodies. Its like the Michelin mascot if you know what I mean. So this would be a dilemma because I dunno if it is possible to skip these subjects. And I think this is a requisite to being an Archaeologist. My age also poses another problem. I do not think I can go back to school. I think its better I just study medicine on my own and in my pace.
Orange eyes
I seen a woman with orange eyes. She was a punjabi. She says its the real color not contact lens. Punjabi differentiates themselves from Indians and/or vice-versa because they have lighter complexion. I just talked to her because I like talking to people.
Cinderella
She has glass
slippers. Glass
is transparent. Slippers used for walking. The way you live your life is like walking as the Bible says. People know the transparency.
Dishwasher
You might think I am lazy because when I am at home I just sit infront of my computer. I actually am a master dishwasher - plates, glasses, spoons and forks and containers. I have developed my own technique you know.
Sun Tzu and the marines
The US navy also uses the Art of War as strategy in the WW2, it states to conquer more territory, it is better to distribute the forces with less men. Like the buddy-buddy system or groups of 3 used by the navy to accomplish more targets. But again, the world is not at war anymore so the interpretation should foster camaraderie and peace. I have to read this again.
Crap and intestine talk
I seem to remember this is getting popular nowadays - people shorten their small intestine to lose weight. I say this is against the rule of nature and will shorten your life. See at one time, horses get extinct in America because they have short intestines. They were only re-introduced back to the Americas. Meanwhile the buffaloes withstood the droughts because of their longer intestines. Having longer intestines means that they absorb more nutrients from same amount of food intake. Take a look at their crap, the horses' crap are loose and undigested. The crap of buffaloes are a solid mound of digested food. In shortening the small intestine, the nutrient absorption is also affected.
