kung may mga taong pinag-uusapan ka habang nakatalikod ka, wag kang magalit dahil hindi naman nila binunyag kung anong klaseng tao ka. kundi kung anong klaseng tao sila.
A Lunar Eclipse….?
______
I thought that it’ll be later this midnight but I got the news that it’s currently happening and this was the best shot (fail) that I could take which was super fail. Curse you clouds. But it was my fault, I should’ve been earlier so that I could mae a time lapse. ~___~

Disappointing
Once again, a group of superheroes more powerful than the Justice League and The Avengers rescued the Arroyos from destruction and persecution. And I am talking about the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court.
The celebration of the opposing side was short-lived. Just a few weeks ago, the Department of Justice rejected the petition of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to travel abroad.
Personally, I was not surprised by the Supreme Court’s decision to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the travel ban. Law experts have warned a few days ago that the arguments for not allowing Gloria Arroyo to travel abroad are weak. And based on their previous decisions, I know that the Supreme Court will always save the witch’s ass.
Voting 8-5 on the decision, the Justices who voted to allow Arroyo to leave were: Chief Justice Renato Corona, and Associate Justices Diosdado Peralta, Presbitero Velasco, Lucas Bersamin, Roberto Abad, Martin Villarama, Jose Perez, and Arturo Brion.
Those who voted against were Associate Justices Estela Perlas-Bernabe, Maria Lourdes Sereno, Antonio Carpio, Bienvenido Reyes, and Jose Catral Mendoza.
The two Justices who did not vote were Teresita Leonarde de Castro and Mariano del Castillo, who are both on leave.
Words cannot describe my dismay for the Supreme Court’s decision. So I will just let this cereal guy meme that I did do it for me.

I have my alone moments.
I’m not sad or mad at anything or anyone, it just means I want to be left alone. I dont feel like talking at times so I just sit there with my headphones on and just do me. I dont need to be in anyones conversation, I dont need anyone to vent to. Let me just do me and you do you. That’s all I want. Im not saying Im forever alone, I’m saying that I like to be alone in my own moments. I kind of like staying in my own little world sometimes, just me and my self.
So let’s test your clear grasp of practicality and reality.
I assume that I have enough engineers and engineering students here.
Will this system of inter-island transportation be feasible in the Philippines?
Not an engineer or engineering student, but at the moment, financially no. Plus a bridge system rather than the tunnel/bridge system you posted would be better. Storms that hit Philippines would flood the tunnel and create problems and would probably require longer closures after a storm. A system like this connecting Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao makes sense. It could also work for Leyte, Bohol, Cebu, Negro and Panay highway. Here’s a map I made:
Above is the Pan Philippine Highway I’m talking about earlier.
The Stereotypical Katipunero
Since Historians are still arguing when and where the first sounds of the Revolution are heard (Aug 24 vs Aug 26, Pugadlawin vs Balintawak), to commemorate the event, the government designated the National Heroes Day in the last Sunday of August.
Do you know why this is the stereotypical Katipunero suit? Nick Joaquin offers us a good insight.
Checkpoints are being established in and out of the Manila Area when Katipunan was discovered during the 19th of August. Bonifacio directed his followers to gather in Caloocan in the 24th of August, since there are checkpoints, the Katipuneros told the guards that they are going to the feast of San Bartolome de Malabon celebrated during August 24.
San Bartolome de Malabon is an image of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, wearing red and white and brandishing a bolo, and pilgrims to the feast wear the same colors along with a bolo.
