Happy Kwanzaa to everyone!!!
The beauty of America is that people who live here can define their culture. Kwanzaa is an example of how a community can define itself and give meaning to its existence in the United States.

To catch a mouse, be a CAT
While reviewing the referral logs to my little kingdom, it's always a pleasure to find other Pin@y kingdoms out there in the world. Today, our featured blogger is Now What, Cat?!!! You should specially read her tribute to her father. It is the June 10th entry for 2003.
Quick, go to her website to find out her Pin@y experience in the wide world of the internet. I know I will.

The egg or the hotdog?
I believe that the world would be a better place if we can get a grip on each other's handles. Why I for one would know that George Dubya would have never been president. Imagine all those admirers trying to find brass balls only to find snuffed out specks of distant memories.
Give peace a chance! Gladhandle someone's private parts!
Disclaimer: Not for implementation by those who have been guests in the California Department of Corrections. May cause arousal in certain individuals, notably the governor of California, Herr Gropenfuhrer. May be mildly addicting to those who do not want a life.
But, come on, how would you like it if a stranger just walked by and casually nudged your private parts?

Harry Potter Craze
And don't let me get started on the Harry Potter craze. Mind you, only imbeciles celebrate the coming out of these books. They are CHILDREN'S BOOKS!!! I tried reading them and could not go farther than 25 pages. Shit, there wasn't any challenge. Storytelling? How about spoonfeeding? I would have had more fun renting out a brothel for a photoshoot featuring dwarf wrestlers.
873 pages. As if bullshit can be covered up by the number of pages. Anyone, anyone, can you say Stephen King? The biggest phony of them all. Analyze the writing and it's just adjectives thrown into adjectives and adverbs. Pretty sorry storytelling at that. Maybe for teen-agers. But for adults? Christ, you might as well read the Bible. It's more entertaining.

The Return of the King
Apparently, I am one of those people who likes to make comments while the movie is going on. For example, when the orcs sent the city of Gondor gifts via the catapults, I laughed out of my ass. You must admit, that it was a funny scene. What else would they send? Rocks? Hell no. the first job of the first salvo is to make the enemy lose their morale. What better way than to send in helmeted piccolos?
Odd thing though, I was the only one laughing in some parts of the movie. I mean, I thought that the people who went to those movies all dressed up as elves and whatnot would understand that they are at "times like these." What the hell? Why not enjoy the blood and the gore? And the nastiness?
I have to recall the other times when I almost fell out of my seat laughing. The movie was great. It would have been how I would have waged war. Without honor. Without bullshit. Let the orcs begin!!!
Thanks to the SO, I was reminded that I also was very naughty when Pippin was being extremely stupid and trying to look into the crystal ball that Gandalf had taken from Isengaard. When I shouted, "You should have killed Pippin" apparently, many of the elf-wannabe's in the crowd stared at me for a long time. Typical elves. All they do is stare and look serious. Give it to an Orc to introduce some fun into the adventures.
But seriously, if you were Aragorn wouldn't Merry and Pippin be pushing up weeds in the dungeons of Moira? Come on, hold and make a noise out of a cadaver? Pretty good stuff there. And how about Boromir? How did he die? He died defending the two idiots Merry and Pippin. Maybe I can start a group called Kill Merry and Pippin.

Joey Ayala to the Rescue!
As most of you psychic viewers know, I have been waylaid by the nasty flu virus the past few days. It was so bad that I had to take Nyquil au naturel.
This afternoon, as I awaken with a slight headache my nose remained stuffy and was giving me a headache. Suddenly, a memory of Joey Ayala came to me. While Joey was at Pusod, he described how the California was extremely dry during the winter seasons. It usually messed up his voice and sinuses. As a cureall to the dry humidity, he "snorted" warm water into his sinuses.
As a scientist, I was aghast. I mean, water into your sinuses? That can be pretty painful. The SO had tried it several years ago. Today, since I was not doing anything too important, I tried it too.
The important thing is to snort it gently. We're not doing cocaine here folks. Make sure the temperature of the water is around body temperature. If you hold your hand under the water and it burns your hand, too hot. You don't want to burn your sinuses now do you? Snort gently. Don't inhale the whole gallon at once. I was fine with just a few milliters. You can feel it pass into your sinuses. Now blow gently. Awesome! Clears your sinuses like nothing!

Nasty, nasty flu
I suppose it must have been my insistence of being with my fellow man the last week. I contracted the flu. Bastard! This is not a nice flu. This is a knock you off your feet flu. Two days I was out. The night before I was basically out. Very, very bad. Very, very mean.
My body is aching right now. But the goodnews is that the fever broke last night. I started sweating. I tried to break it the whole day, but could not. It took a third blanket and some magical power before it broke.

Bastards
I just tried to call my old yaya from the Philippines. She had asked me to call Monday to Friday so that her "amo" is not there. I think I just spoke to the bastard. i swear, if he is lying, I curse him with pain that will not stop.
BASTARD!!!
I'm paying for the damned phone call. At least let me talk to her.

Sacha for President!
So, I am disappointed at the number of actors who are running for president. I can only see it increasing later on. Maybe even the demon that Pops Fernandez married will run for president. I can only hope that he takes himself out soon.
But, how about having someone who is smart run for president? I heard that Lito Lapid's son who is 26 years old is running for governor. Hell, Sacha will run after getting her Ph.D.
In addition, she will give everyone advice on their love life.

Duende
From Merriam-Webster Dictionary's word of the day:
duende \doo-EN-day\ noun
: the power to attract through personal magnetism and charm
Example sentence:
[TatangREtong] possessed not only the talents of a fine adobo cook but also the duende to lure fans to the kitchen.
Did you know?
The word "duende" comes from Spanish, where it translates literally as "ghost" or "goblin," and is believed to derive from the phrase "dueño de casa," which means "owner of a house." The term is traditionally used in flamenco music or other art forms to refer to the mystical or powerful force given off by a performer to draw in the audience. The Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca wrote in his essay "Teoria y Juego del Duende" ("Play and Theory of the Duende") that duende "is a power and not a behavior ... a struggle and not a concept." Nowadays the term appears in a broader range of contexts to refer to one's unspoken charm or allure.

Miserable Failure
With the capture of Saddam Hussein, a miserable failure can be re-elected to the highest office in the US of A. Alleluiah! Huzzah! Mabuhay!
The eventual re-election of Bush the Younger will be a string of hope for those Pin@ys contemplating the eventual presidency of FPJ in the Philippines. Look, if America can go on and prosper with a miserable failure at its helm, so can the Philippines. Hell, Clinton was a brainiac and he let the Republicans run all over him. Trust in idiots to guide your country. They will do a better job because people can't afford but take pity on them.
Now, the question will be who's going to run for the presidency on 2008? In America? In the Philippines, I'm going for Kris Aquino or her partner Korina Sanchez.

I am constantly surprised
The SO is a diamond. So many facets to explore. So many sides that sparkle. So deep in her clarity.
How do you fight a goddess? Let her tell you.

Republican lie unfolds after death
The only difference between Republicans and Democrats is that when Republicans lie, their lies are not revealed till they die. Word comes out that former Senator Strom Thurmond a former segregationist has a daugther of mixed race.
Well how about that? The segregationist had jungle fever. What a fucking hypocrite. I can see it now. Strom is being judged by God...
(fade out to darkness, with one spotlight)
Strom: I hate black people. But, given a chance, I'll fuck them.... No God, I believe I was very fair with the blacks.... I spent half my life hating them and the other half fucking them.... Oh you want me to go to the light? Well, it is kinda warm over there and my arthritis is acting up. If you say so God.
(fade out to darkness)
And there should be a place somewhere in God's universe for people like Strom. Strom, you old devil you. From now on, I'll always laugh when I see your stuff. You old hypocrite you.

Gore picks Dean
Need I say more on why Gore lost the presidency to an idiot? He backs Dean. Anyone who thinks Dean has a hell of a chance to beat Bush, raise their hands.
I don't understand Gore. He loses his personality in front of the cameras. Keeps playing it safe when he's speaking. For crying out loud. America elected an idiot to the presidency! We don't care if you are an idiot! But we do care if you look like you are lying which is how Gore looks on camera. Damn, maybe he should start taking relaxers so that he can get his swing on.
And how the hell do you lose your own f*cking state in the elections? What the hell is that???
He should have fired his campaign manager. Idiot.

Adobong balyena
The sad news that Keiko has passed away is posted in CNN. If the Norwegians knew business, they would can the whale and sell it as a delicacy to the Philippines.
Balyenang adobo. Mmm, yum! My idea of cooking the whale is not so farfetched. Keiko was compared to a 4000 pound golden retreiver. I'm sure that Keiko tastes just like dog.
I have been thinking more and more about dogeating lately. Not that I would want to eat dogs raised in the US. They supposedly don't taste right. I suppose the drive for purebred dogs has diluted the malinamnam from the dog.
Maybe I'll start some poems on how Pin@ys not only eat dogs but also cats. We don't discriminate when it comes to pets.

Life in America as a Titser
Go visit durgaspeak (adventures and misadventures of joffin-of-the-boondocks in the city). Her entries for Dec 13 and 11 are classic. I might follow in her footsteps of becoming a substitute teacher.
