THIS. IS. TOO. MUCH. :(

The statement in Filipino as read by Jessica Soho on 24 Oras on November 25, 2009:

Walang kahalintulad sa ating kasaysayan ang karahasan sa pulitikang naganap nitong araw ng lunes sa Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao. Ang mga biktima - mga babaeng Mangudadatu na magsusumite ng certificate of candidacy, mga abogadong magbibigay ng payo at mga taga-media na dapat ay magiging saksi at magbabalita.

Lahat sila'y may ginagampanang papel sa demokrasya, pero sa lugar na kailan lamang ay tinawag na Ampatuan, dahas ang kanilang dinanas, na wala nang paglulugaran sa panahong ito.

Ang kahindik-hindik na krimen ay mapait na halimbawa sa klase ng pulitika na mayroon tayo. Sa kabilang banda, nariyan ang mga mamamayan na lakas loob na naninindigan na maipatupad ang tahimik at matiwasay na pamamaraan upang makapili ng mga magiging pinuno ng bayan. Ang tunggaliang ito ng dahas at kapayapaan ay lutang na lutang kada panahon ng eleksyon. Ito ang mga kritikal na pagpipilian natin sa 2010 -- karahasan ba o' kapayapaan?

Iniutos na ng presidente ang agarang imbestigasyon at nagdeklara ng state of emergency sa mga probinsya ng Maguindanao at Sultan Kudarat, at sa Cotabato City. Anim na pulis ang sinibak sa posisyon.

Umaasa kaming umpisa pa lamang ito, ng mga aksyong magtatapos sa paghuli sa mga taong nagsagawa ng krimen, ordinaryong tao man o kinatatakutang warlord sa probinsiya.

Kung sila'y hindi pagbabayarin sa pagkakasalang ito, katumbas nito ang pagkasira ng kauna-unahang automated elections ng bansa.

Habang kami'y naghihintay ng hustisya, kami'y magluluksa. Magluluksa para sa mga naniniwala sa demokrasya subalit nabiktima ng karahasan. Magluluksa para sa mga taga-mediang namatay na naniwalang sapat na ang konstitusyon upang silang maprotektahan.

Sa kanilang paglalakbay ng walang armas sa mga lugar na walang kasiguruhan, nagtiwala ang mga biktima sa kapayapaan. Aming kinikilala ang kanilang sakripisyo, habang ang kanilang sinapit ay mapait na ala-ala para sa lahat. Ang kanilang sinapit ay maaaring naging kapalaran
din namin.

It's too heartbreaking :'( I happened to watch the news yesterday about the massacre and it's just too much! I felt pity for them, I cried when I heard Mangudadatu's statement about his wife's death plus the other people included in the convoy, ALL INNOCENT.. It's too ouch! :(

God bless my country!

This is one of my favorite songs ... Fitting for these another trying times on our lives...

SANA - JOLINA MAGDANGAL
Sana ang buhay
ay walang dulo o hangganan
Sana'y wala nang
taong mahirap o mayaman
Sana'y wala ng away


REFRAIN:

Sana'y pag-ibig na lang
ang isipin
Nang bawat isa sa mundo

Sana'y pag-ibig na lang
ang isipin
Sana'y magkatotoo


Sana'y laging magbigayan

Sana'y laging magmahalan


Sana ang tao'y
'di nagugutom o nauuhaw
Sana'y hindi na
gumagabi o umaaraw
Sana'y walang tag-init
sana'y walang taglamig

REFRAIN:

Sana'y pag-ibig na lang
ang isipin
Nang bawat isa sa mundo
sana'y pag-ibig na lang ang isipin
Sana'y magkatotoo


Sana'y laging magbigayan

Sana'y laging magmahalan


REFRAIN:

Sana'y pag-ibig na lang
ang isipin
Nang bawat isa sa mundo
Sana'y pag-ibig na lang
ang isipin
Sana'y magkatotoo


Sana'y laging magbigayan

Sana'y laging magmahalan

Sana'y laging magbigayan

Sana'y laging magmahalan


Sana...

this is a long overdue post and i felt like i really, really have to jot it down because if not, all the ideas i have in mind and heart will explode in no time. : as in. because lately i post all about photos, as in photoblog and i can't bare my emotions there so it all piled up.. now i'll bare it all.. i'll start from lighter notes to the more serious ones. it is said that when you blog, you should write about what interests you because it really felt good at heart so i will be doing exactly the same :)

PS: this is a very long post :)

and i am writing this in between workloads so good luck to me :)


PASKO NA
this holiday is my most favorite! as in i get really excited when the -ber months came. it's a perfect family and friends get-together and i am loving the breezy, morning wind too.. ahh that was the best part! eating is included, of course! it's really my favorite activity :) plus the bonding of everybody! soooo much looking forward to this holiday season!


on internet surfing
internet, is without a doubt an essential thing to my living :p as you can see, i am always on the lookout for fresh news, for latest updates and information and internet can satisfy me in my instant-info-craving :)

anyway, i love mozilla firefox! it's so mabilis and very compatible to all my online accounts :)

good reads:
ramon bautista tumbLr :)
saab magalona tumbLr ♥
rico bLanco tumbLr

on music
anyone who reads my blog can say that music is my love-life.. as in. i even have a habit made to post different song in my facebook account everyday that's my becoming favorite. :p it's my life, i can't live without it or if i can, it is definitely a boring journey. that's why we should really be thankful for the music. right now, i can't pick a certain favorite because they are just too many! ok, but i'll still try :) some are new songs, some are just recall favorites :)

Owl City (i love his songs!!) - Fireflies, Vanilla Twilight
Britney Spears (still my pop icon!) - 3, My Baby
Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus - Time of our Lives
Rascal Flatts, Paramore, Michael Jackson, Beatles.. and so much more!

but the winner song for me this year is MAD by Ne-Yo :) naging ring tone ko, naging message alert tone at winner: for 5 months or more naging alarm clock ko :) hehee! i love the sound kasi talaga :)

♥


on movies

i have watched new movies lately courtesy of downloads (everyone's guilty! :s) and i love it! as i've shared nga in my tumblr, "movies: perspective-changing ... movie does change YOUR SELF.." so far, nakakatuwa talaga mga napapanood ko esp. UP, ALIENS IN THE ATTIC and G-FORCE. sobrang heartwarming, laughtrip, and amaaazing :) hopefully yung movie review na matagal ko nang binabalak i-blog ay magawa ko na :| I’m too tamad talaga!

500 days of summer & New Moon - i wanna watch naaaa!!

flicks


on the people i adore


luvy

need i say more? :p


on tv shows
• survivor philippines palau has just wrapped up and congratulations to AMANDA.. she deserves it! :) hayy.. this season is mind-blowing and sobrang exciting wala ako halos absent gabi-gabi! but the 'puyat' is all worth it :) i love survivor talaga!
• glee - i've shared it already here that i love the cast's version of the songs and i'm looking forward to watch it's different seasons :) yeey! im'ma gLeek!



on my diary
my personal-written-diary will be celebrating its 6th anniversary on the 29th and i'm very, very happy - beyond words :) why i'm happy? because this diary of mine stood with me throughout the ups and downs of my life. she (yes, she is a she) cried with me in my worst moments, she rejoiced with me in my triumphs, she felt my pains, my fears, my heart ♥ that's why i love her and grateful for her because without her, i will really explode and gone crazy with all those emotions and transitions i've gone through :)

just like superbianca, i never wrote for a year or so, i took a break and forget my diary - as in neglect her.. i declined writing around 2006-2007 when i turned college because at that time, i felt like i still don't know myself, my priorities so i tried to "find" who i really am :p to say it's one the hardest things i had to deal with is an understatement.. living without writing my thoughts is hell! i am at that time in a painful transition of growing up and growing away from my 15-year old spirit (the one i shared who is so vibrant, full of life and young) - as in i forgot who i was when i was young because of certain issues surrounding my life. GOOD THING, i found superbianca's blogspot so i created my own blogspot and so i started living my own self :) parang "woww.. i'm returning to my old self! even more happier and alive!" :)

now, my diary is extended online and now lives here in maganda214blogspot though i still have my new orange journal, and tumblr, and twitter :)



yeey! LIFE'S GOOD!


on taking care of yourself/staying fit
i'm determined :) for over a week now, i'm starting my day working out (sit-ups and exercises for a flatter belly) and it felt good and a really great way to start my hectic and stressful day and i also end my day in the same routine. actually, my main purpose is to flatten my belly because i'm already conscious about it and i'm thankful because i have the drive and the will to work out. :) since i love to eat and my tummy suffers, i have to work double time - that's what i'm doing and hopefully i can continue to do it for the next week, next month, until it became a habit for me to achieve a stronger abs and flatter belly. oh what a dream! :)

staying fit is not just because of certain people but it should be for yourself. you owe it to your body. in my case, i overuse my body and my brain from the kind of work i have so i have to discipline myself to become healthier, happier individual because it really felt good at heart. when you're beaming with happiness and contentment from within, everything else will follow and the people around you will notice it and will do exactly the same! talk about influence :) isn't that greaaat?! :)


on friends
as of this writing, i have some grudge within me for them.. because i am really trying my best to be THE dependable, helpful, and supportive friend to them but then, they care less! they don't even reciprocate the same genuine concern i have for them. yung feeling na ikaw lang yung nagki-care which is not very healthy naman talaga :p ayoko ng ganun.. for a relationship to work, it's a two-way thing - you have to give and take hindi yung puro ka lang take. pagdating naman sa friendship hindi ako selfish :p hayy! nakaka-grew tired nga rin pala talaga yung ganun no? :p WHATEVER.

on the other hand, i love spending quality talk time with my boy-friends who makes sense of what they're saying kasi naba-balance yung opinion ko as a girly-girl about boys and everything about them. it's enlightening to talk to your guy-friends about anything guy or girl related. you'll benefit both :) on a lighter note lang :p


on career dilemmas/dreams
hayy.. it's another 'lonely' thing.. "if you're not happy anymore, why not quit?" that question is really challenging to me :p my answer na lang siguro is because i think i don't have enough courage to just call it "quits".. aww ang hirap eh! as in parang naging routine na and parang comfort zone na din kasi it's one of my weaknesses, yung harapin yung mga changes na would eventually affect my life dramatically. slow ako to deal with these things :p pero siyempre i'll just let God take charge of my plans and my dreams because He knows too well what's perfect for me :) but with all honesty talaga, i wanna study creative writing or something? i wanna write :p i wanna improve my hidden talents :p i wanna be included in any creative teams - in tv, movie, or magazine :) that's my BIG dream :) hayy.. uli..


on country issues
this one's pretty serious too.. katulad nga ng sinabi ni bianca on one of her blog entry, the poverty here in our country is just too much na :( parang hindi na makatarungan how the injustices in our country continue going on.. mga nakikita ko, mga lolo't lola na, naglalako pa rin ng kung anu-ano sa kainitan ng panahon na dapat nga nagpapahinga na lang sila. parang walang program para sa kanila o kung meron man, sobrang limitado lang. meron pa kabuwanan na sa pagbubuntis, kayod-kalabaw pa din. pero kahit anong sikap sa pagtatrabaho parang wala ding nangyayari sa taas na ng mga bilihin pero hindi naman tumataas ang assets ng mga manggagawa. is there really no hope anymore in this situation of ours? saaad :(

let me share to you this quote i read from twitter:

"If you see something and think "someone should do something about that" - remember - you are someone!"

but the good things is that I AM NOW A REGISTERED/CERTIFIED FILIPINO along with my friends and barkada's.. I'm proud of myself :)


on Christianity
right now, hmmm.. we're still intact :) i always read His notes for me whenever i have time and i still seek His advice about everything that's happening in my life and i can say that He still guides me and guards my thoughts and emotions about certain something :p HE LOVES ME.. that's all i want to believe and think and i'm already OK :) i love, love that thought :) no more emo thoughts and talks with Him :)


on love...
bakit nahuli to? :p kasi feeling ko it's the least of my priorities right now.. meganon?! hehe.. eh bakit isinama ko pa to? wala lang, it's to remind me that there are many people out there who love me and are willing to wait for me no matter what :p it really felt good naman talaga when someone's appreciating you di ba? nakaka-inspire din :)

well, update - may mga bumabalik but as of now talaga, i have no time and i am not yet ready :) in God's time, i know everything will just fall into its perfect place.. hayy, kelan kaya yun? hahaaa.. another WHATEVER.

my OCTOBER-BIRTHDAY vacation :)


• napansin ko lang, favorite word ko ang "and" and "because" sa mga blog entries ko :p loser much! hahaa
• 2009 word of the year daw is UNFRIEND - which is applicable daw sa facebook/friendster when you delete your online friends, it means you "unfriend" them.. WEIRD! :p
• johnny delgado, one of the pillars of the Philippine movie industry died already because of cancer :( RIP
• on a lighter, positive words, na-share ko na to sa twitter and facebook ko, natuwa at na-proud ako sa sarili ko kasi sariling quote ko to :)

"LAUGHING is contagious :) we have to practice this often because we might not know what it can do to people around us plus it's really good for the heart! <3"


my final words, no matter how many whinings and rants i have written in this post of mine, one thing i will never forget that bianca said is that whatever happened, it is always a must that we remain POSITIVE.. despite all the disappointments and frustrations, GOD will never let us down if we only give our faith to Him 100%.. OPTIMISM always works. SO i will really try my best to remain POSITIVE at whatever circumstances i'm in :) LAUGHTER is the medicine..

SMILE!!!! :))

rih

i love rihanna <3

and i hate how other mean people or papz treated her after that awful February night where stupid exboyfriend hit her, hurt her, and turned her life upside down.. i sympathized with her and i support her when she remained silent about the issue.. actually, we should all respect her during that trying time in her life but well that’s life!

but now she is back.. stronger, wiser, and more aware. and with a brand new album :) coming out on November 23!

RIHANNA = inspiration and L♥ve


"I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, What, there are helicopters circling my house? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can’t go back home?"
