The Axe Effect On A Restaurant Attendant

An interesting and witty commercial from Axe, nice plot, great acting. There are three things i like in this video, first would be the one bit in the beginning when the girl noticed the wonderful smell of Axe, raising her eyebrow (0:08), the second would be the bit about the ketchup, notice his blank expression but completely comes to a shock when she suddenly grabs the bottle (0:14), and the last part would be the bit when she's adding on the ketchup with a seductive look on her face (0:20). A very nice Ad compared to the other Ads from Axe like the one about the chocolate man, very disturbing, and i hate those creepy eyes.

The Greatest President We Never Had - Jovito Salonga

The day was August 21st, 26 years ago, a great man was assassinated, a man that could have been the GREATEST PRESIDENT the country has ever had. A man that gave voice to the mumbled cries of the suppressed, a man that was sent to prison for his moralistic ideas, a man who sacrificed everything even his own life for the love of his country.

I was a year old then when he was killed and i was not aware what was happening then, i was also wondering, did my parents actually named me after him? maybe i should ask them? or maybe not, but nonetheless of what they may say i am proud to have his name as mine, a name that stirred the hearts of millions of Filipino people, a name that signifies hope to those who have less, and a name that called the people and united them as one.

He died a tragic death but his death was not his end it was just the beginning of many great things. He may not be here mortally but his legacy still remains, and that very legacy shall carry on and be realized to be our future and the future of the following generations.

Today, August 21, 2009, its been 26 years. let us remember what has happened for the past 26 years, let us remember who started it all, let us remember the man. the man who was never afraid to speak his mind, the man who wanted to change it all, the man named;

What is Love?

Love is like…
Oil,
That plumps us up,
Dilates the eyes,
Puts glow in the skin,
And makes us see other kinds of beauty.
Love is like…
A modern invention,
And largely an obsession.
But perhaps we might ask
What such love should be.
Love should be…
An act of will,
Of passionate patience – flexible,
Cunning,
Constant,
Proof against roasting and freezing,
Drought and flood,
And the shifting climates of mood and age.
In order to make it succeed,
One must lose all preconceptions.
Must be built…
On truth,
Not dream,
And the knowledge of what we are,
Rather than what we think of.
The sum of love is…
That it should be a meeting place,
An interlocking of nerves and senses,
A series of constant surprises
And renewals of each others moods.
Best of all…
A steady building,
From inside out.
For the wholeness, love…
Must be deeper,
To adapt to the worlds shifting sands,
Able to withstand disaffections and occasional betrayals,
Sufficiently constant to create its own area of sacred quiet,
And also strong enough in its toughest test,
And sink the best of its virtues in it.
Love is…
Not merely the indulgence of ones personal taste buds;
It is also the delight indulging another’s.
Also, in remembering simplicities such as…
Tenderness and care,
In taking some pleasure in the act of adoring
And being content now and then
To lie by ones sleeping love
And to shield ones eye from the sun.

Blood-shed

Dark it was,
down at the alley,
no a sound could be heard,
it was silent,
from the face of the bright full moon,
i know, is alive.
it has eyes that could see the inner me,
the uneasiness, the fear.
i hear a heart,
pumping so rapidly,
was it someone’s…
no!
its mine, i think?
hurriedly, my feet,
moving so quickly,
as if its telling me…
nah!
it cannot be
could someone be following me?
i glanced alertly at my back,
it was too late,
someone,
something,
put off the lights out of me.
i could sense the coming of death,
sucking every last drop of life.
i was there,
lying effortless on the cold ground,
in the dark
down at the alley.

EVERYBODY (reposted from d'_unknown_shade August 22, 2007)

just this morning i realized, i was EVERYBODY else, doing what EVERYBODY else does, thinking what EVERYBODY else thinks. like mindless zombies. waking every morning doing what EVERYBODY elses does. taking a warm shower, drinking your hot coffee, preparing for work, and at the office guess what, you also do what EVERYBODY elses does. acknowledging your boss you have arrived, taking your seat at your desk getting comfortable as you rummage through the piles of paper and getting started to do what EVERYBODY elses does… work. as the day ends not a thing in your mind you notice that you also do what EVERYBODY elses does you acknowledge again to your boss you are preparing to leave, as you walk out the door a sudden brush of freedom from the hell hole of work slams into your face, at home you take your dinner, have a quick shower, brush your teeth then go to bed and dream that you live in a world where nothing as it seems, no worries to fonder, lots of trouble to make, you’re carefree. the exact opposite of the world you step on since the beginning and then you wake up, sunlight blinds you eyes and then you realize it starts over again doing what EVERYBODY elses does… how about you? really! then you are one of us, a mindless zombie crawling and finding your place in a world full of nothing but utter dull things like EVERYBODY.

To do do do.. I need a Hero...

A burning house, a band of banshees, group of cowboys with neon colored whips and of course Bonnie Tyler herself. A definite classic groove.

I remember this as one of the soundtrack of an interesting movie way back. Short Circuit, with a one of a kind character Johnney 5 (robots like him are "next generation" back then). The music does have a catchy tune with a fair written lyrics, but whats up with the neon whips? are those floorboards moving? creepy, what i don't get about the video is the story. the house just burst into flames and those cowboys just standing around her? and lets not forget the ladies in white curtain sheets hmmmm, anyway still worth watching with the powerful vocals of Bonnie Tyler. One of my listening favorites.

The Lady In Yellow

One of the most gracious lady we have ever laid eyes on, i was a small child then and i hardly know anything what is going on.

The First Lady President of the Philippines.

The lady who overthrew the Dictatorship of the Marcos Regime and the beginning of the realization of a Democratic country.

For the past month of suffering from cancer, shes now at peace, she died at 3:18 a.m. Saturday according to her son Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III from cardiac arrest.

The Philippine people are in deep mourn for the loss of a wonderful leader and a gentle person.

You will be forever treasured and remembered.
