Hi.  For the past few weeks/months I've been uber busy.  And when I say busy, it means 12-hour working hours a day 5 to 6 days a week. Phew!  It's kinda frustrating especially when I look at the mirror - dark circles became evident, wrinkles started a cult and meet up on my face, and more importantly, I just look tired.  Thank God I'm not used to having acne and other skin problems.  And now that I'll have at least 4 hours a day, I might wanted to take care of my skin and well being. (Especially now that I've learned I gain pounds as being tired diverted to starvation - and it's as if they had a connection! :)  I'll have promises for myself now that I've gained half of my life - to focus on what pleases the eye and what the inner self could appreciate.  

Itineraries?  Together with mom and a younger sister, we have a so-called girl's date last Tuesday at BioEssence and do some pampering.  I was very excited I forgot to took out some valuable pictures.  Ah...  But as they say, there's always a next time.  And that time might be next week. :P

As for my blogging what-knots, I'll focus on ME, ME, and only ME and make sure it'll be entertaining (as I am making fun of myself), the world around me, and some products, places, and experience I've gone through.  I'll try not to spam-post...but mind you, I'm not promising anything!

This is what keeps me going.  A three-some friendship! Hahaha.
And I tried out being a guy, date girls and having a fling.
I am eyeing on Bella, the Administrator, but let's see how far would it go.   Hihi.

Kate Middleton's face on a jelly bean

There were lots of news about the holy week. Different sightings of the Lord, Jesus Christ, or even some Catholics saints have been "invented" by men. Engraved through walls? Rocks? Name it! Now that the royal couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton will tie the knot soon, here's a controversial mango jelly bean. What's controversial with a mango bean? There's a allegedly the soon-to-be-princess' face. Take a look at this:

Wesley Hosie and his girlfriend, Jessica White, noticed that a mango bean in the jar they had purchased from the Jelly Bean Factory

Now, take a sip of coffee and figure it out!

The 3 Overseas Filipino Workers in China, executed of drug trafficking

The sad news has sprung.  the two-year battle in deathrow of Mr. Ramon Credo, Sally Ordinario Villanueva, and Elizabeth Batain had ended the hardest way.  About 12 in this afternoon, the 3 OFWs had been in the lethal injection putting them to death.  Today, I can only see two scenarios: the mourning families of the OFWs; and China leaders' take in implementing rules in such offenses.  They were the two parties that will shoulder the consequences of doing any move in this now a global crisis.  Before, I was like, what if they were freed?  Does that mean people will do that once or several times again since they know that country leaders will bend their knees to free them?

But after this news, my two personas haunts me.  One that says, 

"Hey people, you always say that illegal acts results because of economic instability, lack of money, and you only want what's best for your family.  But cr*p.  Your coconut shells' been learned that drug trafficking and any illegal offenses will resort to steel bar detention, life imprisonment, or worst, death penalty.  And now, you're begging for mercy?  How about the lives of people that has been wasted because of those illegal drugs?  Why don't you give them the same as you now pleaded?"  

But then again, I feel for the relatives, families, and their loved ones and a part of me says, 

"Foolish.  What if those charged were victims themselves?  Victims of recruiters like Tita Calayan that has been caught and in the custody of the NBI and Precy Evangelista who currently holds her freedom?  And victims of the temptation to have a decent life?"  

Now, I'm torn.

I hope this incident will serve as a lesson for each and everyone.  There's nothing wrong to think of ways for the betterment of our families, only, think and face the consequences of whichever paths we have to crossed.

Right this very moment, all I can think about were the ones that was left and the 70 plus people in line for death row in China and 125 more in other parts of the world.  What will be their fates?  Who is to blame?  My prayers and warmest condolences for Mr. Ramon Credo, Sally Villanueva Ordinario, and Elizabeth Batain, their children, families, and loved ones.

Monetary donations is low maybe because Japan’s known for it’s wealth and stability in handling disasters. USA TODAY says that it is wiser to wait, 

“to coolly assess where aid might be needed and when it might be needed”

  

Is it Time yet? The end of the World comes closer!

Being the third largest national economy in the world (right after the United States and China), Japan has indeed spare thousands even millions of money and casualties from this natural disaster's occurence.  A horrible 8.9 magnitude earthquake strikes the home of technologies and vendo machines.  And in just minutes, establishments and buildings, ricefields, and lives, all been strively and hard-earned, deminished.  State of emergency had been declared for five nuclear reactors at two power plants (including Fukushima Daiichi plant) just so releasing radioactive vapor.  The cooling system malfunctioned as the electricity had cut off caused by about 4 meters high tsunami waves yesterday.  This has been a wake up call for a nuclear safety.  What will be Japan, its neighbor countries and the rest of the world will be if a massive nuclear disaster came?  

The world hasn't been fully recovered from several world disasters

that includes: 

January 25, 2011 winning Egyptian people's protest to step out Hosni Mubarak from his 30 years of regime leaves about 6 cases of Self-immolation and some other protest deaths.

Iran's valentine's day protest when opposition leaders Mousavi and Karroubi been house arrested that leaves three deaths and dozens of injured. 

Iraqi protests against the issue of national security and an investigation into federal corruption cases on February 12 with at least 29 people died on the 25th.

North African state of Libya's protest against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule leaving a thousand deaths and injuries.

All of these protests, commotions, and happenings takes a toll on a lot of people worldwide including yours truly.  Now I'm just thinking, 

"Is it time yet?"  

I'm on my verge of finding when will be the final or the so-called end of the world.  Then I stumble upon this

and this and now it is up to you to believe or not.  But what if and ever we or some people knows when will be the end of time, what would you do?  Can you list or tell me some of them?  As for me? I'll gather up all my loved ones so I'll die happy.  So long the rest of the world, we can do whatever it takes to survive! 

"And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:"

-2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 King James Version

"At samatalang siya'y nakaupo sa bundok ng mga Olivo, ay nagsilapit sa kaniya ng bukod ang mga alagad, na nagsisi-pagsabi, Sabihin mo sa amin, kailan mangyayari ang mga bagay na ito? at ano ang magiging tanda ng iyong pagparito, at ng katapusan ng sanglibutan? And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world

"Gayon din naman kayo, pagka nangakita ninyo ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, ay talastasin ninyo na siya'y malapit na, nasa mga pintuan nga." So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.

"At mangakakarinig kayo ng mga digmaan at mga alingawngaw ng mga digmaan; ingatan ninyo na huwag kayong magulumihanan: sapagka't kinakailangang ito'y mangyari datapuwa't hindi pa ang wakas. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Mateo 24:3 at 33

"Sapagka't magsisitindig ang bansa laban sa bansa, at ang kaharian laban sa kaharian; at magkakagutom at lilindol sa iba't ibang dako. Datapuwa't ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay siyang pasimula ng kahirapan." (Mat. 24:6-8) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
