however bad a Filipino government might be, we can always change it

from http://nimbosa.multiply.com/journal/item/7

Indifference is a mistake

With every election cycle that we go through, the feeling inevitably grows that it doesn’t matter anyway who will be elected, nothing will change and it will be “boom tarat tarat” as usual. The politicos will continue to wallow in billions in pork barrel and discretionary funds, continue to bless their favored groups with overpriced contracts, and continue to saddle us the people with too high a tax burden and too much regulatory nonsense. It is not surprising therefore why my generation generally expresses indifferent attitudes about the upcoming elections.

Remarkably, however, I find many young people expressing this same ‘I couldn’t care less’ sentiment and it is hard to understand why. Youth, after all, is a time when one is supposed to be full of confidence that anything is possible and one’s dreams are imbued with idealism and hope. That those who are voting possibly for only the second or third time in their lives feel indifference could of course only be testimony to the fact that this campaign has been supremely dull. It might also disturbingly indicate, however, that the young have, this early, already begun to feel that elections in particular and politics in general have no relevance to their personal lives and no connection whatsoever to their aspirations.

our first democratically elected president said that if he he could have his way, he prefers

"..a country run like hell by Filipinos to a country run like heaven by Americans.

Because, however bad a Filipino government might be, we can always change it."


and i say, WE MUST CHANGE IT
now, more than ever before, we must lay the foundations of an open society 

IN THESE LATTER DAYS, it would be safe to say that it is Better to have my country torn by strife and revolt against its unjust oppressors than to have "prosperity" and "peace" with Tyranny and Corruption.

You cannot make peace with Evil, in the same way we cannot make war against the Good. But it has been the policy of this government to make war against all virtuous and principled men and womenby spreading lies, by subterfuge and manipulation, by threats of violence and even intimidation at the courts of law, and by these means they put up a facade of morality and righteousness. But who are they fooling with this veneer of rectitude?

For this coming election, it has been the slogan OF the Administration "Unity for Progress" to cajole the citizens into voting their candidates. I say we Unite with the Good and Proclaim the Truth, make war with Corruption and Tyranny and expose every Lie. There can be no real Progress while Corruption reigns supreme. There can be no basis for Unity until the People has come to know all that is Good and True.

one Evil at a time, we must defeat ALL parasites infesting our social landscape today

From the lowest clerks to the highest office, we know Corruption is what leads to Tyranny and Injustice in this land, and it is also the cause of worsening Poverty and the vicious cycle of Violence we witness today. On COMELEC's own record we have the highest number of election-related violence today since democracy was restored. This is sign of desperation for the Corrupt leaders willing to do everything they can to hold on to power. And we must fail them. The perpetrators of this lawless violence are not common criminals, masterminds of most of them are also in power, and have this high disregard of the law because they know the law is on their side. Nakasandal sila sa poder, este, sa pader, kay Gloria.

I say down with the Administration's ticket and vote for the best alternative instead. Not because averyone in the Administration's side is Evil, NO. Individual candidates endorsed by the Administration may have good intentions and a sincere heart, BUT all that comes to nothing when they succumb to the Administration's will and their voices are drowned by the thunders of Corrupt Despotism. As a favor to this few good men and women who find themselves under the banner of the Administration, we should save them from compromising their principles for the Administration's will. Let us vote for the people who can openly defy the machinations of those in power and unseat the illegitimate and corrupt ledership now controlling our vital institutions.

mas iboboto ko pa si Felix Cantal kesa sa mga to

at dapat gwardyahan ang boto, pahirapan natin ang mandadaya:

If democracy, according to Vaclav Havel, is the unfinished story of human aspirations, let us continue the journey in the coming elections by helping restore the trustworthiness of the election process, and on the strength of that foundation, move on to other institutions. Each of us must put down his piece in this giant jigsaw puzzle called nation-building, for only then can we say that we are truly deserving of this blessed nation.

reason to Dream

" without a Dream there is no reason to work
...without Work there is no reason to dream."

speaking of dreams, nanaginip po ako


ang dami kong panaginip ngayon, and i remember most of them,

unlike some time before


before i worked, i never dreamed, really,  ..or at least i dont remember dreams when i wake up, or they are not vivid




eto:





Bingi daw ako, sa una kong panaginip, which is not far from truth in real life,


pero sabi:























Deaf 

To dream that you are deaf, indicates that you are feeling secluded from the world.
You may be closing yourself off from new experiences or shutting yourself out.
If someone else in your dream is deaf, this suggests that someone close to you
is withdrawn and not sharing their emotions.

which is also not far from truth in real life

Sa ikalawa kong panaginip, we were standing near a fireplace, c mama, my sister janine, and I

isa syang bahay na bato, at parang may kagubatan sa labas, kitang-kita from inside the house bcoz of the glass panels


a visitor came in, binalita nya patay na daw tatay ko!


nahulog, nadurog, ang puso ko!


sobra


then I woke up,

and wondered,

hindi naman ako ganon kalungkot cguro kung mamamatay tatay ko, kung lola ko pa, cguro ganun ka-intense


so i looked this up, too?


yes:

 Death

Dreams about death are not necessarily bad omens, but they usually represent anxious or angry feelings. To dream of your own death is actually positive - it means renewal and letting go of an old stage of life. This is also a common dream when you are getting over an illness - and it's a good sign that you are getting better. However, if you dream that you are dying slowly, you need to drastically change your routine and reenergize your life. To dream about the death of a loved one, suggests that you are lacking a certain quality that the loved one represents. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what do you like about him. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. To dream of a death frequently signifies news of a birth. To be aware of a dead person you cannot identify foretells an inheritance which may not be personal, but could be indirectly beneficial to you.




so, i realized it was the positive values my father represents that saddened me, not his physical death,

but the loss of the values in life that for me he represents,  Loyalty, Perseverance, Hardwork,

maybe there's one word that conveys all these values, but iM at a loss


and i also realized that things we don't deal with in  "real life"  always turn up somewhere, in weird circumstances, coincidences, and in dreams

yun lang po, sharing

...

Numerology

Another one of those stupid things we really enjoy doing:

How is Numerology Portrait calculated?

The ancient science of numerology offers insight into the personality by assigning numeric values to names and birth dates, calculating numerological values and then interpreting the results.

To calculate the values used in numerology, all digits of a number are first added together. If the outcome is a number with more than one digit, the resulting digits are added together again until they are reduced to a single digit. For example, the number 27 is reduced by adding 2 + 7 to get 9. The number 1974 is reduced by adding 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 to get 21; then 21 is further reduced by adding 2 + 1 to get 3. All numbers are reduced to single digits between 1 and 9 except the special master number 11, which is not reduced in numerological calculations.

Letters are first converted into numbers, which are then added together until they become a single digit. The letter A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc.; M = 13, which becomes 1 + 3 = 4. For example, the name Amy is equal to 1 + 4 + 7 = 12. 12 is then further reduced by adding 1 + 2 to get 3.

Your Numerology Portrait applies the results of several calculations to provide insight into the most important aspects of your personality. If you have a Y in your name, please consult the table for further information on how we treat that letter's dual nature as consonant and vowel.

Your soul number reveals your inner, private self, the underlying motivations that influence your decisions and actions, your subconscious desires and your most deeply ingrained attitudes. (It is determined by adding the values for the vowels in your full birth name.)

Your Numerology Portrait is based on the following calculations:

Is Y considered a consonant or a vowel?

- If your first name begins with Y, then Y will appear in the "first vowel" section of your portrait. All other sections of your portrait will treat that Y as a consonant.

- If a Y appears in any other position in your first, middle or last name, it will be considered a consonant if preceded by a vowel and vice versa.

Total for each letter:

  1      2       3      4      5     6      7      8     9
A=3 B=0  C=2  D=1  E=5  F=0  G=1  H=0  I=1
J=1  K=0  L=2  M=1  N=1  O=1  P=0  Q=0  R=3
S=0  T=0  U=0  V=0  W=1 X=0  Y=1  Z=1

Consonant Total: 1  (73)
Vowel Total: 5  (50)
Grand Total: 6  (123)
Date Total: 1  (37)
Missing Number(s) are: 2
First letter is L
First vowel is A


Your Soul Number is FIVE.

A deep inner restlessness and discontent with the status quo makes you seek out adventure, excitement, and the unconventional. You thrive on new ideas, change, travel, experimenting with new ways of doing things. Predictability and routine make you feel lifeless and unhappy so you must find a lifestyle that is varied enough to be mentally stimulating and challenging. Independent, freedom-loving, and easily bored, you have trouble making commitments and finishing projects. You often "move on" prematurely, whether in a personal relationship or in your work. You need to develop discipline and perseverance when you have an important goal.

You have many talents and need many outlets and avenues for their expression, but try to finish one thing before attempting the next.

Name Analysis:  () * *

Expression:
6

The Expression number shows us who we truly are, what we came into
this life already knowing. This is where we feel most comfortable and
how we automatically act. We attract people and situations to us that
require our Expression so that they can further evolve. In this way we
play the role of teacher. Naturally we are attracted to occupations
that we resonate to, so the Expression number can be a strong factor
in our choice of a career as well. Our Expression is the vehicle, with
all its virtues and vices, that drives us along the path of our
Destiny. It is the essence of our identity. 

Family and home life are your main interests.  You know how to
nurture and accept anyone, therefore, many are drawn to you
including those that others call, "strays".  You have an eye for
anything beautiful and your home is sure to reflect this, no matter
what your budget is.  You are proud of all your possessions and
especially of the talents of your family members. Your generous, creative
nature makes you the ideal host or guest at a party.

Soul Urge:
5

The Soul Urge number has also been called Heart's Desire and
Spiritual Urge. It is our secret, innermost longing. Our dream, our
motivation, the fuel that energizes our journey. The Soul Urge number
reveals what we secretly strive to be or accomplish. Some have said
that this number tells us what we have been in previous lifetimes, the
accumulated growth of our soul.

Variety is what drives you.  For this reason travel, the arts,
education and self expression are areas where you are likely to be
found.  Freedom to choose, to move about without limitation, to absorb
information and to observe life are imperative to your inner health
and happiness.  You crave stimulation and may be drawn to
exhilarating adventures and death-defying sports.  Your sensual nature
will lead the way.

Persona:
1

The Persona number describes the way we appear to the outside world,
the first impression people have of us. We may not even be aware of
how we are perceived by others because we are so often focused on our
inner world, and many times the inner does not match the
outer. Persona gives us a peek at some hidden talents we have. The
talents that we use to get along in the world and in some instances,
protect us from it. It is likened to a bag of tools (jewels) that we
carry with us along the way.

Others see you as a unique individual who always does their "own
thing".  Independent, capable and pioneering, you seem to take
control of the situation and make it run effectively.  You are very
concerned with your image and always seem to dress in a way that gets
noticed.

What Inspires You?

   
   
   
 

 

   
      
       
          nimbosa, you're inspired by Helping People

       
      
   
   
 

   
 
   
      

       
      

            
   

Not everyone has the compassion and generosity to look out for the
greater good. Lucky for all of us, there are kindhearted people like
you who make a real difference in this world. You're probably the first
to step up and lend a helping hand whenever you can whether it's
organizing a book drive for the library, serving dinner at a soup
kitchen, or giving an elderly neighbor a ride to the doctor.

Chances are, you're also driven by your ideals and want to really make
a difference in the work that you do. But that doesn't mean you're
unrealistic. You know that Rome wasn't built in a day and that it takes
years — and even decades — to make changes in the fabric of society.
Until poverty, illiteracy, and a plethora of other ills are no more,
you'll do what you can to help out and make life better wherever and
however you can.

ANOTHER    THING 
                 Syke Garcia            
                  

By declaring that the presidency is not a popularity contest GMA virtually admits that her acts do not necessarily reflect the approval of the governed, as is in effect in a dictatorship.  Democracy, in contrast with dictatorship, precisely contends that acts of the government must enjoy the consent of the governed. 

 

If President Arroyo’s actions no longer enjoy popular support, she, in effect, has lost the mandate of the sovereign people who are the source of government authority. She has forsaken democratic principles and is now acting as a dictator.
            Barely 20 years ago we demonstrated to the world the essence of democracy by launching the People Power Revolution that became a model for other distressed people. What has happened since?

. : we all know what happened : .
