SWS 3rd Quarter Survey Results:

De Castro - 29%

Villar - 28%

Legarda - 26%

Malacanang, as early as now, eyes several other people as successors to PGMA – Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, Senator Richard Gordon, Chairman Bayani Fernando of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, and Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte. These people are being considered aside from VP Noli de Castro who has been enjoying wide popularity in recent SWS surveys.

And, as early as now, I think it doesn’t take a genius to see that their additional choices don’t have a slight chance in hell at winning the presidency even with Malacanang’s so-called “political machinery”. In a country as disillusioned as ours, popularity is still a major factor for winning. And while popularity isn’t everything (as proven by the many “celebrities” who lost in their quest for electoral positions in the previous elections), it is still undeniably a major consideration or shall I say, a significant determinant of a candidate’s winnability.

Taking that into consideration, it is safe to assume that Malacanang will inevitably place their bets (all of it) on De Castro. I don’t understand why they have kept mum on this issue for the longest time, only to eventually speak up with a long list of names of  presidential bets. We all know they will endorse and support De Castro all the way anyway, so why delay? And if the reason for the delay is the absense of a formal agreement with De Castro, I find it too hard to believe. I just do. While popularity is sure to buoy De Castro’s presidential ambition, it can only take him so far, perhaps a mile short of the shore of Presidency, but never quite exactly to dry land, unless he has a sturdy political machinery to back him up. Running independently might sound noble and valiant (specially if he will do so in an effort to distance himself from the reputation of PGMA’s troubled government), but it would definitely be a politically-unwise move. If he wants the post so bad, he would have to take calculated risks. And that includes playing his cards well. 

As I’ve written before, I’m not a De Castro fan. I find it extremely difficult to picture him as our president, really. And if I remember it correctly, I have even mentioned in a previous entry that a De Castro win will only mean a “virtual PGMA term extension”. Of the many issues faced by the Arroyo presidency in the past, De Castro’s show of either “sheer loyalty” to the PGMA or his usual “play safe” tactics has made me see him as someone too bland for my taste. And as early as now, I can say that I have no plans of voting for him. I am currently on a wait-and-see mode, on the look-out for a possible better choice.

But you know, looking at it differently, I find it ironic that there’s this media frenzy as to who the Palace will endorse for 2010 when it fact, the way PGMA’s government is tainted, we should all the more shun whoever it is they will support, right? Because if you’re not satisfied with the way PGMA ran her office, why must we be so excited or at the very least, be interested in who they will annoint?

I say, forget about who endorses who. Forget about what political party endorses who. Let’s get past that. Let’s see beyond political parties and try to see the person vying for the highest post in the land. Will you support De Castro if he runs independently, all because you think doing so would mean an assurance on our part that he won’t replicate a PGMA government? Or, on the flip side, will you not vote for De Castro if he gets endorsed by Malacanang because that simply means he will definitely do a Gloria? Will you vote for Villar just because he belongs to the opposition? Or just because you are a firm supporter of the Nacionalista Party?

Know your candidates. Know their values, what they stand for, what they believe in, what they are capable of doing and what they have accomplished in the past. Political parties remain the same, but politicians jump from one party to another. This could only mean one thing then, that their parties are only as good as their political ambitions. And politicians’ loyalty to their current party is only as good as the benefits they reap from it. As soon as the benefits wane, so does their loyalty. 

So for the good of this country and for the good of our children, let’s do some extra work. Let’s do some extra research. Know the presidentiables. It’s never too early to investigate. And it’s never too late to hope for a wonderful political change.

Personally, I think we simply gave the man a chance to fabricate and weave a “good” story that would be fool-proof or looking at it from a different angle, we may have just given the guy a chance to “toughen” himself up and train himself to lie straight-faced. Two years is a long time, and mind you, for some people, guilt feelings wear-off over time. And for all we know, that is exactly what happened to Joc-Joc. We should have been more vigilant, more persistent and more “concerned” to not have let two years pass us by without grilling the guy while the guilt feelings might still be there and where “Freudian slips” may have given us the truth we’ve always wanted to know. There’s an adage appropriate for that — ah, yes. “Strike while the iron is hot.” So now, however you strike the guy, there’s no way you can mold him to what you want because he’s now “too tough” for any possible “strike”. Our senators can grill him all they want, stress him out, scrape-off his ulcers, turn him backwards and inside out and hang him by a pole for all he cares, but the guy — to my mind — will never “talk” or “sing” for that matter.

So what’s the lesson for today? “Carpe diem” — seize the day, seize the moment my dear fellow countrymen. As soon as an irregularity, scam, scandal, “mess” or anything similar to that are discovered, “strike while the iron is hot.” In our court of law (by “our”, I mean the Philippines, yes!) “justice delayed is justice denied“, right? Oh, I could quote all “sayings” applicable for this case but you get the drift, right?

And so, as always, I am utterly disappointed with the way things are in this country. But most of all, I am disappointed with our countrymen. Why with our fellowmen? And why not with our politicians, you ask? Come on. Our politicians and the entire scheme of politics in general in this country is, by default, always to blame. We know that already, right? The internet is littered with blogs that detest the government. The streets are littered with protesters who shout tirelessly everyday into their megaphones, airing their
disgust with the government. Radio and TV commentaries recite a lithany of government inequities by the minute. Yes, the government is to blame for all this. We know that already, right? But have we ever, in the silence of our hearts, absent the amusement of reading political blogs bashing the government, absent the noise of street protests, and absent the loud volume of radio commentaries — have we “reflected” — or if that’s too heavy a word for you, have we at least “thought of” — even in passing — of the significant role we play in the so-called “grand scheme of things”? Perhaps, we too, are at fault. Perhaps, we have been “negligent”, a bit “apathetic”, slightly “carefree” or a wee bit “tolerant” of little “irregularities” that eventually lead to large-scale corruption. Now I don’t need to do the lecturing, I’m not a saint nor a preacher. I am just sharing thoughts that I think are somehow absent in many of us now. We are too focused on putting the blame on the government, of pointing the accusing finger — not realizing that four of our fingers are pointing at us. Corruption, in my opinion, like “tango” (yes, the dance) takes two people for it to actually happen. And by two, I don’t mean two people who are both corrupt from the get go. For corruption to happen, the other party is initially a non-corrupt one who, either over time or because of a certain need or circumstance gets pushed to a seemingly hard, thick wall with no other option but to give in to the other party’s (the corrupt one’s) demands. Or at least, that’s what the non-corrupt party thinks — that there’s no option but to give in. But in reality, there is. There’s always an option. The real problem lies in that person’s strength of conviction — to do what’s right or to do what’s easy? to do what’s good for the individual or what’s good for the country? And that’s where “character” comes in — “values” that you hold on to, that no matter what happens, you swear to do what’s right.

We can never move forward as a nation as long as the shadow of corruption haunts us. But we can do something about it now. We have a choice. The real problem now lies in our character. Do you want this country to cast corruption away and banish it forever? Then make that conscious choice. You. Me. Everyone. Let’s make that choice. And we’ll see our country soar to great heights in no time.Similar Posts:

I am from Calamba as well. And although I do not share their views regarding the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill, I have great respect for people who take a stand for what they believe in. It is no wonder then that I find myself blogging about a poster that opposes my stand on the much-debated RH Bill. This is a tarpaulin hanging on the gate of a residential house along a narrow main road. I have erased the location of the poster (as supposedly evident in the poster) for security purposes.

I’ve no idea whether it is indeed a common opinion shared by the entire community there or the mere house owner’s opinion. But then again, it doesn’t matter. What strikes me however, is the show of concern. Forget that it’s a NO or a YES. The mere fact that they took time to have it printed, posted and well– paid for, meant that they CARE.

I find it interesting..and a bit overwhelming. Some people do CARE. Some people do give a damn about what’s happening in the country, about the issues that affect us all. And knowing that we are affected, they take a stand and they let everyone know, thereby making other people AWARE of it and consequently cause others to THINK and eventually, TAKE A STAND — their own stand. Isn’t that something? I think it is.

Right now, we are in dire need of people who CARE. It is now considered a rare commodity.  And so I take pride in belonging to a community of people who don’t just sit “on the fence”. Indifference is a crime. To take sides on issues of this relevance is everyone’s responsibility. Are you for or against the RH Bill? Let the world know. Let your voice be heard. Now is not the time to be apathetic. Take a stand. And don’t ever think one opinion is not counted. You can never tell how much of a difference it can make.Similar Posts:

Anyway, here’s what’s up:

1. I have a new job. So, yes, I’m going to be useful to the society from now on.

2. I will have less time to blog (at least in the first few weeks of the critical training period). You know how it is when you have a new job, right?

3. I cannot post photos of my company nor mention its name here on my blog as it violates an agreement I signed with them (unfortunately) so I apologize if I can’t share photos.

4. Political rants and sentiments resume tomorrow (Saturday).

5. I miss blogging, plurking, blipping, twittering and tinkering with my blog’s template so you will have to bear with this one for the meantime. The other theme I really like does not support widgets.

So there. I hope all is well with you guys. Take care, happy blogging, blog-hopping, surfing or whatever it is that eats up most of your time right now. As for me, it’s back to reviewing… au revoir Similar Posts:

Here’s mine. I could swear I laughed at the first sentence and continued laughing until I read the entire thing, and I’m still giggling until now. They say the truth hurts. Well, I say, “the truth is amusing..very amusing”.

The ARIES Woman

http://cyberspacei.com/englishwiz/library/names/zodiac/aries.htm#_Toc6671973 —————————————

“But aren’t you going to run and help her?”

Alice asked…

“No use, no use!” said the King. “She runs so fearfully quick

you might as well try to catch a BandersnatchT*

So you’re in love with an Aries girl. I don’t know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you.

When Byron wrote that “Man’s love is of man’s life a thing apart; ’tis woman’s whole existence,” he forgot about the Aries woman. She may think love is her whole existence, but she’s too vitally absorbed in the world around her, not to mention in herself, for it to be the beginning and end of her life. She can get along without a man easier than any female you’ll ever meet.

Of course, getting along without a man is not the same thing as getting along without romance. She’ll always need that hero of her dreams to yearn for in her heart. He may be long ago and faraway-or hiding just out of sight and touch, somewhere in tomorrow’s mists-but she’ll think about him in an April rain. He’ll haunt her when the first snow falls, when she hears a certain song or sees lightning flash. However, while she’s yearning, if there’s no male around in actual physical presence, she won’t miss him terribly. Anything he could do, she can do better-she thinks.

The Aries girl will open her own doors. She’ll also put on her own coat, fight her own battles, pull out her own chair, hail her taxi and light her cigarette without any masculine help. Doing it herself is, to her, the fastest way to get it done. Naturally, this doesn’t sit too well on the vulnerable male ego. The Mars girl is determined to take the lead, to be the first to move to action, and that includes the action of making the first advance in romance. Aries females are the most likely of all the Sun signs to do the proposing, especially if the man is slow about naming the date. And that’s about as early as you can safely show your feelings-when she proposes. Before that you’re taking a chance. Be very careful about moving in on an Aries girl. She wants to be the leader in the love affair. Better be sure you have her heart safely in your pocket before you try to grab her around the waist and kiss her goodnight. Other­wise, she may give you a sharp right hook to the jaw and run like a frightened deer.

Don’t be misled. The reason for her running isn’t maid­enly modesty. She’s not afraid of your passionate intentions. Those she can handle. Her flight is based on the fear of getting tangled up with a worshiping slave or a lovestruck puppy dog, either one of whom would bore her to tears. Be casual, keep her guessing, and the chances are she’ll chase you into a corner instead. A man who resists her impact always intrigues an Aries female. She can’t under­stand why she isn’t overwhelming him with her obvious charms. Then her Mars ego will leave no stone unturned to prove she’s desirable, even when she has no lasting interest in him.

Scarlett O’Hara is the very epitome of the Mars-ruled Aries female. Like Scarlett, the Aries girl will gather every available male for a hundred miles around to her feet, while her willful heart yearns for the one man she can’t have for one reason or another. Like Scarlett, the Mars woman can quickly adapt for survival if necessary, without whimpering. Both the O’Hara and the Aries characters are tough enough to defy convention, face an advancing army, or even shoot a man through the head with icy calmness, if he threatens her loved ones.

Never was Scarlett more Mars-like than when she was starving, alone and friendless, and without waiting for a man to come to the rescue, she clenched her fist toward heaven and shouted, “I’ll survive this . . . and when I do, I’ll never be hungry again … If I have to lie, cheat, steal or kill-as God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again!”  Much later, her emotions shattered, her beloved child dead and the one man she loved about to walk out of her life,  this typical Aries woman was still able to say, “I’ll think of some way to get him back. There’s never been a man I couldn’t get, once I set my mind on him. . . . After all, tomorrow is another day.”

Yes, Scarlett O’Hara creates a vivid image of the first  Sun sign of the zodiac, with all the Mars strength and ability to bounce back after tragedy; able to play the female role to the hilt, with fluttering lashes and a well-timed tear, but just as able to take over a man’s job when the men aren’t around. A careful study of Scarlett’s character can give you an excellent understanding of what you’re in for with an Aries woman-and naturally, also the rewards you can look forward to after you’ve been brave enough to claim her. Her aggressive drive may be hard to take, but her shining optimism and faith in tomorrow can be mighty uplifting.

The Aries girl is rather a pushover for flattery, if it has an honest base. Let her know you admire her, but don’t be too flowery or sugary about it. Her loyalty in love is gigantic, as long as you keep the sentiment alive, for she is deeply sentimental. There’s the typical Arien contradic­tion in her: she doesn’t want to be obviously chased, yet she quickly loses interest if you’re too detached. She doesn’t want a completely domineering male, but neither will she warm up to a man who sits adoringly at her feet. Before love can bring her happiness, the Aries woman must meet the eternal Mars challenge-her strong desire to control the lover, conflicting with her secret wish to be controlled by him. Unbelievably idealistic, sometimes she searches in vain for that brave knight in shining armor, who will sweep her off her feet, conquer the world, hand it to her gently and yet never sacrifice his manhood. Since he exists only in fairy tales and the myths of King Arthur’s court, the Aries woman often walks alone, without a star to guide her. Her days are bright and full of excitement, her nights are sometimes dark and full of longing. Yet, when her defeated dreams become smoldering ashes-just as you think the flame is dying, Aries leaps up to build another fire.

She must be proud of you to love you. But don’t be so important that you neglect to notice her talents and abili­ties. Though she’ll demand a lot from you, she’ll give double measure in return. The Aries girl can be generous to a fault with her time and sympathy, cheerfully sharing her possessions and money, but when it comes to love, she’s downright stingy. “What’s hers is hers” in the romance department, and it will take very little to set off a jealous explosion. Don’t admire your favorite movie actress in her hearing, or pay too many compliments to her girl friends. The man with an Aries wife is safer with a male secretary. If she’s not first with you in every way, you’ll soon wonder where all the intense passion and thrilling emotion went so fast. When the Aries woman has been really hurt, she turns from fire to ice. Her fire burns hot and dies quickly. Her ice can be eternal. Memorize that, if you care deeply about her-and it’s doubtful that she’ll stand for you caring about her any other way. Aries plays for keeps.

She puts the loved one on a pedestal, expecting him to live up to an impossible image of perfection, stubbornly refusing to look at his clay feet, until they become too muddy for even her to miss. Never criticize the lover, husband or children of an Aries woman unless you’re wear­ing an asbestos suit. She’s capable of being demanding, selfish, and making cutting remarks when you dampen her hopeful plans. Yet, she can also be gentle, devoted and cooperative when she’s met halfway.

Since she prefers the company of men to women, and solicits admiration from every male she meets, be he nine or ninety, you’ll have plenty of chances to feel the stabs of those little green monsters of jealousy. Forget it. As fiercely possessive as she is of you, she won’t put up with your possessiveness of her for an instant. The Aries girl insists on complete freedom, before and after marriage. You’ll have to trust her wherever she goes and whatever she does, though she won’t have that kind of faith in you (unless she’s learned the hard way to keep her emotions under control if it kills her, which it almost will). It’s not as bad as it sounds, because she’ll be faithful, once she’s really yours. An Aries girl is seldom able to love two men at the same time. She’s simply too honest for such deception. Barring unusual circumstances, she’ll let you know clearly that love is dead before going ahead in total commitment to someone else.

This woman is capable of deep passion and mystical idealism, woven together in strange patterns. In any rela­tionship she feels is real and forever after, there will be no holding back, no feminine wiles, coquettish tricks or silly games. Her love, like her speech and actions, is direct. There’s something clean and fresh about the utter simplicity of her emotions, but even so, they often get her into waters way over her head. You may have to tame her a little, but she’ll accept It with surprising docility if she really loves you.

Mars females are often career girls. They can handle almost any profession a man can handle, from stockbroking to real estate. They can also turn a nice ankle or profile in strictly feminine occupations like modeling and acting. It may be difficult to get her to give up her job for you, if it’s a real career or profession. She may toss it overboard for a period, while she’s suffused with the glow of romance and picturing a storybook cottage for two beside the sea (typical of the Arien imagination that leads straight to the happy part and ignores the dull part). But when the cottage begins to need a paint job, the roof starts to leak and the first fine rapture dims slightly, she may be anxious to dig out her social security card again. Let her. She’ll be far happier and more loving-even more gentle-if she’s allowed to fill her idle hours with something that interests her. Mars emotions, unfulfilled, can look for molehills of frustrations to build into huge mountains of trouble.

There’s practically nothing this woman won’t tackle. If it’s a challenge or just something she thinks she wants to brighten her life, she’ll make some kind of a stab at it whether it’s practical or not. I know an Aries woman who was forced for financial reasons to live for several years in , two rooms with a husband, five active children and a dog.

That kind of an arrangement can get a little cramped, and just contemplating it might give a woman with any com­mon sense a few doubts. Not a Mars female. This one coped somehow, though she may have let it goad her into a few tantrums. In the middle of the situation, when an astrologer read her natal chart and pointed out that her planetary aspects showed a long period of great hardship in her life, she was puzzled and intrigued. “When does it look like it might happen?” she wanted to know.

This same impulsive Aries woman got a sudden urge one day to add another dog to the group camping out in two rooms. She felt the family’s male pet needed a female companion. He looked lonesome. Besides, the children thought it was a rollicking good idea. The discovery that the second dog wasn’t housebroken threw her only tempo­rarily. Like a determined drill sergeant, she assigned every member of the family their turn at scrubbing the carpet. After she saw that it would never be the same again, she surveyed the situation and made a decision. To get rid of the second dog? Of course not. She was secretly hoping there would be puppies someday soon. The money would just have to come from somewhere to get a new rug. Funny thing-it did. As for the puppies, she was sure some miracle would happen to move the entire crowd into a new apart­ment before the happy event. Funny thing-it did. Miracles have a way of happening to those who believe in them. Aries women certainly believe. Sometimes to the point of foolishness. Her rash ways can get her into some compli­cated pickles, and she may have a few gray hairs before she learns how to avoid the same pickle twice. Aries is not noted for learning from experience. The spirit is willing, but the disposition is headstrong. There’s no use to try to caution a typical Aries female with the biblical warning, “Pride goeth before a fall.” Her interpretation of the phrase, since she first heard it in Sunday School, is “When your pride goes, you fall.”

Never worry that your Aries girl will succumb to the charms of a wolf. She’s immune to wolves and playboys, and in far more danger of being seduced by an idealist with a cause, preferably a lost cause. But even with him, she’ll assert her individuality frequently. It will never be completely conquered in the Mars woman, though it can be subdued by the right man. She’ll buy you gifts, loan you money, nurse you through illness, and help you get a job.

And she’ll expect the same from you.

She’ll deny it vehemently (she does almost everything vehemently), but when she’s miserable, you should be miserable. When she’s happy, you should be happy. To Aries, love is equal sharing. She’ll expect to share your razor, your bank account, your friendships and your dreams. In return, you can share hers. Of course, her razor may be broken, her bank account a little overdrawn, her friendships slightly scattered and her dreams too large for you to swallow. But she’s not selfish with them. Keeping a secret from her can drive her wild, and it’s not a good idea to drive an Aries wild. Don’t ever embarrass her by your grammar, clothing or behavior in public. She won’t em­barrass you, at least not in these matters.

To injure her pride or dampen her enthusiasm will almost break her heart. Others will constantly be doing just that to her. The world resents a female who talks back to it, and who thinks she’s smarter than everyone else. When she discovers she really doesn’t run the universe after all, she’ll come running into your arms in tears, her world all dark and dismal. Then you’ll have a chance to see her as she really is, defenseless and vulnerable in the extreme, for all her outer confidence. She’s not really Tug­boat Annie. She’d just like to be. She admires strength and tries to imitate it. The Aries idealism and optimistic faith in human nature is often dashed to bits by reality. Comfort her with tenderness at these times, and you’ll probably never lose her. Always defend her against her enemies. She can never forgive you if you fail to fight for her or take her side. (But be prepared to make up with them when she does, which may be quickly.) At least she’s lay­about it. She’ll also defend you. An Aries woman will throw away fame or fortune defiantly right in the face of anyone who hurts a friend of hers. If she loves you, her indignation will have no bounds. These women are nothing if not loyal.

As a wife, she may be quite a handful. There will prob­ably be outside interests, because home will seldom be enough for her creative energies. Don’t expect her to be a happy little cricket, chirping away contentedly by the hearth. She’ll be a competent enough cook, and she’ll keep the house spanking clean-at least the part that shows. She’ll sew on buttons and iron shirts, too, but she won’t like it. Still, she’ll do it when it’s necessary. (An Aries woman can do almost anything when it’s necessary.) Her fire is more like that of a glittering diamond than like the warm, comforting glow of the fireplace. There’s undeniably brittle side to her nature, and she may agitate you more often that she soothes you. But she’s exciting and certainly never boring. Then there are always those moments of softness that belie her strong drive-for a man who has the patience to bring them out. Mars women are always softer inside than any but those who have been really close to them ever know. Her conversation will be very intelligent and very frequent. Don’t hide behind the newspaper at breakfast. She’ll expect companionship from you, or you can just scramble your own eggs.

You’ll rarely find her complaining of illness or fatigue. But when she’s in pain, she’ll expect tons of sympathy. Although you may have to sit on her to get her to go to bed when she has a raging fever, be prepared to wait on hand and foot when she has a toothache.

This is not the woman to call and tell you’ll be working late at the office, unless you enjoy creating Fourth of July fireworks in the middle of February. She won’t mind keeping the gravy hot, but she won’t like not knowing where you really are, and what you’re really doing, and she may call back to find out. The Aries wife will probably make an excellent impression on your boss, if you can keep her from telling him how to run his business. She won’t mind going out to bring home the bacon when you’re temporarily out of a job, but she can never respect a man who makes less money than she does (though an Aries woman would never leave a man for this reason-she’d be more inclined to make excuses for him). If she has a rare spell of letting herself go, the first word of disapproval from you will send her flying back to the mirror and perfume bottle. (In this way, she’s as feminine as Eve herself.) A flattering com­ment about your secretary’s new hair style will do the same thing, but it’s more dangerous. Besides, you were warned to hire a male secretary. There’s a vain streak in a Mars woman which makes her sensitive about everything from her age to an innocent remark about how tired she looks, which she may take as a hint that you think she looks like an old hag.

Keep the passion and romance alive in your marriage, or she’ll be miserably unhappy. Aries will waste little time changing any situation which causes unhappiness, and that can lead to a hasty separation or an impulsive divorce. In most cases, letting her handle the family checkbook would be unwise, but you can try it, if the bank is game.

As a mother, she’ll see that the baby is clean, happy, healthy and loved. She probably won’t pick him up every time he cries, fuss over him or overprotect him. But her children will get lots of warm, impulsive kisses and bear hugs. An April mother will teach her youngsters to believe in leprechauns. She’ll take them for walks in the park, and point out the sparkling necklaces left on the lawn by the fairies when they danced under the moon where others might see only the early morning dew on the grass. Aries women create a magic world of fantasy for their children. It’s where they live themselves. She won’t be a permissive parent, she’ll insist on strict discipline, and will probably be very fortunate in raising her offspring to be independent adults. Her favorite weapons of child psychology are: a wooden paddle, bedtime stories and goodnight kisses.

This woman can be unreasonably temperamental, and create some violent scenes. But her quickly aroused temper will splatter like summer hailstones and soon melt away. She’ll never hold a grudge, seek revenge, indulge in self-pity or bitterness. After an emotional storm, her optimistic, April nature will return like the rainbow suddenly appear­ing after a shower. Lots of people will tell you an Aries woman is completely masculine, but don’t you believe them. She’s all woman underneath her flashing, forceful exterior, perhaps too much woman for the average man. But, of course, a knight in shining armor isn’t an average man. Are there any lonely, courageous knights out there? This is the fair lady of your dreams, worth all the dragons you’ll have to slay to win her.

Don’t forget that she bruises easily, in spite of her bright, brave smile. (That’s just her shield against hurt.) If you can turn the ram into a lamb, you’ll have a woman who is honest and passionate, loyal and exciting-though she may be a little impulsive, bossy and independent. Well, you can’t have everything, you know. The Aries girl will help you find your lost illusions and she’ll have a fierce faith in all your dreams. You don’t have any? Borrow some of hers. She has plenty to spare. If you believe in her just half as much as she believes in you, you could make some miracles together.

This one post is actually the “tamest” article I’ve written there. This is not the original article. This is actually the “watered-down” version of it and I would want to share it here. I wish I could share more.

Lie To Me

I am clever. Too clever for comfort, so they say. I can smell a lie from miles away. But, oh I love the way you lie to me in the break of day. It’s as if it’s always the first of May.

I believe everything you say until your mouth runs dry. It feels so good to know that you want me so much that you try. Lie to me dear, as many times as you want, I don’t mind. You know I will believe you, all the reasons I will find.

Lie to me about how you care, how much you miss me and want to touch my hair. Lie to me about how much you enjoy every single minute that we share. Tell me darling, that to no one do I compare.

Lie to me about how many times you cried, all those sleepless nights you cried and tried. Give me roses, write me proses. Lead me to the promised land just like good old Moses.

Tell me about the days that passed when you felt that without me, you just wouldn’t last. Call me often, write a letter, you know that I wouldn’t like it any better.

Give me that look — the one I read in my favorite book, that pierces through my soul, which I took and I took. Linger a while longer, love me harder, love me stronger. You are a mistake I will never throw asunder.

Remind me of the many ways I turn you on, like a glowing candle in the raging storm. Make me yours as I’ve made you mine. Hold me close ’til the end of time.

Walk the ground, unafraid and unfazed as I smile and approve of your courage as I gaze. The sight of your body glistening in the sun, the way it moves, oh there is nothing more fun.

Lie to me about how abruptly you’ll wither, without my love, you’re an Adonis without a lover. Tell me stories about your adventures and fleeting pleasure and that when you have found me, you realized there is no greater treasure.

Tell me that I am the prize you hold dear in your dreams, when your world is falling apart at the seams. Tell me that darling, tell me that, dear, with me beside you, there is nothing you fear.

Lie to me now, come on, I’ll show you how, I’ll even teach you how to take a bow. Give me a show I will never forget, until I grow old and get close to death.

To the truth of the world, I say, I don’t care, so long as I know you will always be there.

Love me the best way you can, at night and in the day. Oh dear, please tell me you love me, in the most romantic way. Tell me there is nothing else you hold dear, that you are stronger and better whenever I am near.

That regardless of the cost, you are always more than willing to pay. That you prefer me over your coffee, your politics or your play.

Lie to me everyday and I assure you I will stay, until my life is over and your hair turns grey. Lie to me, oh please lie to me, my love, it’s okay. As long as you promise you won’t go away.

Lie to me in the morning while the sun is shining. Lie to me in the evening, no, we aren’t sleeping.

Lie to me love, lie to me all your life, enduring all possible grief and unbearable strife. Lie to me like you won’t lie to no other, even to your distant brother or your doting mother.

Lie to me now, I beg of you, please do. Can’t you see I have made myself a first-class fool for you? Lie to me now, and swear like you always do. And by God, I swear I’ll always believe you. I do, oh I do.

Lie to me well, do it well, do it well. Lie to me and tell me I’m more beautiful than Belle. Because if you aren’t true, see my smile and construe, there isn’t a moment that I won’t lie to you too.

A Trek to Remember -  May of this year K.I.D.S. trekked as far as Barangay Cambulo, Banaue to visit Cambulo  Elementary School. Everyday, Cambulo students hike 12 kilometers to get to school. Most of their teachers stay in school during weekdays to cut the time and exhaustion from going up and down the mountain, which takes about 4-6 hours. K.I.D.S. went to Cambulo to distribute school supplies, clothes, books, vitamins, jackets, rain boots, shoes and bags.
To continue in making Filipino Children healthy, K.I.D.S. Foundation will be trekking to two (2) barangays; Lubo and Sagpat of Kibungan, Benguet to to bring Medical and Dental services and conduct a Pre-Christmas gift-giving. This event will be on October 24-26, 2008.
In line with this, YOU are invited to take part in fulfilling this Medical and Dental Mission this coming October. You may show your support by way of cash donations to support the expedition and/or in-kind donations (such as vitamins, medicines, medical and dental supplies, school supplies; notebooks, pencils, crayons, paper pads, teaching aid , slippers, rain gears, etc.) for the children and the school that K.I.D.S. will visit. You can also help by joining the trek and inviting your friends, medical practitioners (doctors, nurses and dentists), mountaineers and enthusiasts to join as well. Details about the trek will follow upon confirmation of volunteers.
We need YOU.  You may call Ms. Roxanne T. Oquendo our Programs Manager at 714-39-46 or 0922-854-3733/0922-871-1901 for questions or clarifications.
