Outrage isn't the word that I would describe what I felt when I heard that RP was named most dangerous place for journalists.
I felt down! As in, very depressed! Because, some point of time in my life, I was a journalist and I still am even if my college degree is not related to journalism.
Alright, maybe other people died in that tragedy and not just journalist. But that would be handled in another part of this rant.
Hear me out.
Those people, were sent their not really by their won choice, they were given an assignment to cover the filling of the candidates certificate for the upcoming election. They weren't part of this political dynasty clash. They shouldn't have been killed. None of those people deserved to have died like that, and what was the gain from their deaths, a society with nothing but the old C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N still hanging over the air of the Philippines.
The people responsible think they are untouchables, well they aren't. They've already been expelled from their party by a person who can actually have an intellectual conversation with Harvard professors. They given a bad name for the provinces in Mindanao. And they have disgraced the values of being a Filipino.
It was ironic, the the press conference for the young journalists of our country took place last week. Will this be their fate as well when they are in the job they've dreamed of doing? Are the Filipino journalist be famous for always getting killed while in the field?
What justice is this for the country and for the act of freedom of speech in itself?!
Rant. That is what's above and I really don't care if the ideas are all rumbled and I really don't care if it's the worst essay you've read so far. All I care about is that, whoever did this, may it have been the one giving the order or the one carrying out the order, you'll have to face the consequences of your actions. Every single on of your countrymen hates you. You'll have to live with that fact, and if I could have a chance I would like to ask those responsible:
What political power really worth what you'll be facing?
I sure hope you don't answer yes.
We take this rivalry too seriously!
Haha, my dad just told me that the 2010 elections would be just like your ordinary UAAP game. It's the green team versus the blue, not in basketball but in politics and in the highest positions in the country.
The presidential elections is a fight between DLSU alumni and ADMU alumni.
Gilbert Teodoro and his running mate Eduardo Manzano are both graduates of La Salle while Ninoy Aquino and Mar Roxas are both Atenistas.
I know this maybe just a coincidence and all that but the rivalry between my school and my best friend's school is just too much. It reached this level for Pete's sake!
Well I don't think both schools in question will support their graduates. The president of DLSU and DLSU itself is close to the heart of the Aquino family even if Noynoy came from Ateneo.
I just hope this election won't be like a DLSU-ADMU game wherein their's a fight after the match.

How it happened! The final hours of my PSP...
Alright! A fair warning. This post is very emotional and very materialistic. Do not read if you hate both!!!
Last Tuesday, I rode the trains LRT and MRT towards Makati to meet my parents there and will go home together. I waited for my sister in the station and hold and behold when she saw me, the front pocket of my bag was open. First I thought, no big. I don't put important stuff there anyways.
She asked me to check everything that I have in my bag. And suprise!!! No PSP in sight, I must have placed it in the front pocket of my bag.
To quote my dad, "Para kang nawalan ng boyfriend!"
Yes! That is how much I loved my PSP. I mean, it was the ultimate gadget! You could play games, watch movies, listen to music, take pictures (if you had the PSP camera gadget) and even surf the internet!
I totally miss it and always kick myself when I remembered how careless I was for not minding my bag while I was walking in the station.
Alright, my PSP was old and well it's been used and wanning in the years, but I still love it. I want my PSP back but I know I won't ever get it.
By some chance, if whoever took it is reading this. You can't open it because it has a password. there are no games except for the BOOK READER, and it has a memory of 2GB only. You picked the wrong PSP to steal just so you know.

Farewell PSP! My twitter, plurk, facebook, multiply, blogger, deviantArt and tumblr all mourn you!!!
My First Pay-Check (As in, hindi lang petty cash!)
Got my first pay-check earlier today! Haha! Php 1719.00! Haha!
My Birthday Gift to Myself: Second Place in Fully Booked-Book Geek Competition
See here, I am a current International Students Major in De La Salle University Manila and is a working student currently assigned to the Information-Reference of the University Library. My way of stress releasing is by joining a literature contest that is held once a month.
If you are wondering why I tagged you, skip to the end of these note but if you are curious as a cat to know the whole story then read ahead!
Yesterday, October 24 at 6 p.m. was the Book Geek for the month of October. 9 people were their. only 1 of them was a new comer, a Literature Major from the Philippine Normal University, Carlo.
I've joined that contest twice before and last night was my third try.
The Elimination was like this, you had to pick a number from the bowl with colored paper in it. Written on the piece of paper was a number which corresponds to a number.
I really thought that I would have been out after the first two questions. Since you do have life lines like Skip which is to skip the round but you have to answer two questions when your turn comes again and Pass which is to pass the question to another contestant and if they answer it wrong both of you are goners.
It was the first round and it was my turn. I already thought that I was going to use a life line then the host asked me if I was well aware about the boys in literature, and my heart was beating so fast. The contestants before me had Harry Potter questions, why didn't I get one! My heart was beating so fast from anxiety.
My first question, good thing was: Who were the Hardy Boys?
Whew, I was saved.
The next round I wasn't that lucky, I forgot the answer. I knew it was a type of fever but I forgot the name. The question was: What illness did Beth caught in Little Woman? So I skipped. I knew it was a fever but I didn't know which kind. The answer was Scarlett Fever.
So the next round I had to answer two questions. Again, my heart was beating so fast. Still I had no intention of winning. I only had the intention of not being the fist to be voted out.
First was: Who was the ghost in the bathroom in Harry Potter? (Hello! Harry Potter addict here!) Second was: What was the word branded in the first murder in Angels and Demons? I quickly answered Earth but then I asked if I could change my answer to Illuminati. I remembered that Earth was written on the first cardinal but not necessarily the first death.
I was saved!
My final question for the elimination was: Which Weasley Twin got his ear cut off by a curse? George of course.
So, that landed me in the final three.
The finals was a close game. Raise to five and we 3 had the same questions. It was like a quiz bee.
I answered the following questions:
Which to novels were Victor Hugo famous for? Les Miserable and The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Which German author sold his soul to the Devil? Faust (I was the only who answered it!)
What do you say when you want to summon your spellbook in Harry potter? Accio Spellbook!
What is the working title of The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown? The Solomon Key (I was the only who answered it!)
Who wrote 'Bata, bata paano ka ginawa'? Lualhati Bautista
Carlo, who won the first prize, and me were tied for five points and it was supposedly a raise to 5, the final question was something about an author winning a literary award back in 1920 and so unfortunately i didn't know but Carlo being a literary major took a guess and he won!
Good for him! But I wouldn't have had second place if it weren't for the following people:
Ate Sarah- For being addicted to Dan Brown and letting me be the only person to answer the Lost Symbol question!
Cholo-For getting me hooked to Harry Potter.
Mom and Dad-For buying the Hardy Boys for Ate and Kuya before! That saved me from the first question!
Ms. Millette, Ms. Angel, Ms. Rachelle- For teaching me all about literature and the wonders of reading. Without you guys I wouldn't have known the authors like Victor Hugo, Robert Frost and all their works.
Veritas Parochial School- The CL text book had Faust in it! That is why I was able to answer it.
Martin Candelaria, Thea Salazar, Portia Destacamento, MM Maglasang- For being my fellow book worms in high school. I wouldn't have remembered literary facts without you guys! Especially Portia, because of you I read "Love In A Time of Cholera" and "Memoirs of a Geisha". I might have misspelled the answers but it was okay that I still answered them!
GOD, JESUS- For letting me get that far and for guiding me in picking the number where my question lied.
The greatest birthday present for myself! Thanks everyone!
