Sa basketball pa lang ay nagkainitan na sina Kirby at Re-Re. Ang venue: sa court sa likod ng bahay ni Kaye sa city.Kala mo naman magagaling maglaro. Pa-shoot-shoot lang ay di naman maipasok ang bola. Kanya-kanyang bintang na marumi maglaro ang isa. Pero ilang oras pa ang lumipas bago tuluyang pumutok ang galit nila sa isa’t-isa.Sa gitna ng inuman, at madaling araw na ito, bigla na lang sinuntok

Compromiser?

The evangelical community is all abuzz about the appearance of Bro. Eddie Villanueva before the congregation of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy on February 3 for the group’s 25th anniversary. Much of the talk is unflattering to the presidential candidate, and if you log on to the Youtube posting of Villanueva’s speech and view the comments, you [...]

Transcript of Bro. Eddie’s controversial message

In the interest of clarity and accuracy, I took the effort to transcribe Bro. Eddie Villanueva’s message during the 25th anniversary celebration of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ The Name Above Every Name headed by Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy on February 3, 2010:
Isang mapagpalang na araw, makasaysayang araw sa lahat sa inyo na nagmamahal na tunay [...]

Starstruck

A fish out of water. That was me as I joined a group of reporters from Davao City and Cebu City to cover the final night of GMA Network’s Starstruck, a “reality-based artista search” that had a Davaoeño and a Cebuana in the final five. I received the call on Friday (February 19) that [...]

Piyakak

Nasa Eden Nature Park ako ngayon. At ang sumalubong sa amin (secret na lang kung sino ang kasama sa “amin”) ay ang maniac na peacock at ang malanding partner nya.Masasarap ang pagkain. Malamig ang panahon. Wala akong reklamo.

Charm

There certainly is a special charm about old motorcycles.

Ayoko muna

Hindi ko pinatira sa bahay si City Babe. “Sige na. Promise, magpapakabait ako, hindi ako magiging sakit sa ulo,” sabi nya.”Hindi nga pwede,” sabi ko.”Lilinisin ko lagi ang bahay mo. Aalagaan ko ang mga tanim,” dagdag nya.Hindi pa rin ako nakumbinse. “Umuwi ka na lang sa inyo,” tanging nasabi ko.Hindi ko alam kung saan na sya ngayon. Kaya kahapon mag-isa ako sa bahay. Walang date. Walang bisita.

Camel

Ang balita, paparating na ang El Nino.Bilang paghahanda sa nagbabantang tagtuyo, nagparamdam ako sa kanya. Agad naman syang pumunta ng bahay.Si City BabeTeka, pati shorts hinubad niyaAt nagpose”Bakit paiba-iba itsura mo sa picture?” natanong ko sa kanya habang nakatingin sa kuha ko.Kinuha nya ang celphone. Tiningnan ito.”OO nga ano. Para akong camel,” sabi nya.Pigil ang tawa, sinabihan ko sya ng:

Tigilan na

“I Love You, Goodbye” sana ang pamagat ng post na ito, pero kinilabutan ako.Kahapon, may nagtext ng “Is this ______?”At dahil maganda naman ang mood ko, sinagot ko ito ng “Yes. Who’s this pls?”Sinagot niya ako ng “Is (last name ni Ranger) one of your boys?”Sinagot ko naman sya ng “Who’s this pls?”Tinarayan nya ako ng konti at sinabing “Do I need to answer that?”Tinarayan ko na rin sya at sinagot

strangers

In our daily lives, we spend so much time dwelling on differences until such time that we are faced with a common enemy.

Randoms: Pan de Pugon

There’s a Pan de Pugon in Davao.

Near SSS Davao.

Regalo

Huli man dumating, may silbi rin.Mabuti pa sya, naalala ako. Ang iba dyan, hanggang salita lang. Sya, di pa nga nananalo, nagdeliver na.O di ba. Sa tuwing gagamitin ko ang pinadala nya, maalala ko buong pamilya nya.Salamat. Para sa yo, handa akong maligo sa dagat ng basura.

The poem: “Sanayan Lang Ang Pagpatay”

Interestingly, the poem Fr. Alejo had recited on the night that Toy Mangudadatu had come to see him was “Sanayan Lang Ang Pagpatay.”  Here’s the full text:

Sanayan Lang Ang Pagpatay
(Para sa sektor nating pumapatay ng tao)
ni Paring Bert Alejo, SJ
Pagpatay ng tao? Sanayan lang ‘yan pare.
Parang sa butiki. Sa una siyempre
Ikaw’y nangingimi. [...]

WordPress 2.9!

And then, there it was! WordPress 2.9 is now officially released and available for upgrade (and first-time installation).
I’m posting this on v2.9, and I must say, it feels like the purr of a well-oiled machine. The “Move to Trash” link and the fact that WordPress now has a global trash bin make for more peace [...]

What a English!

As a newspaper editor I come across all sorts of articles that mangle the English language to the point of unintelligibility. This is especially true in this political season when politicians’ rah-rah people try to put their names out to the public, and they often send press releases that heap praise on their bosses at the expense of grammar and, well, the truth. Words like “indefatigable,” “outstanding,” and even, “handsome” are employed to describe candidates who would normally be anything but, and the PR people do not seem to care that the press releases they churn out have little semblance to the truth. There’s nothing more I’d like to do than email these agents and quote Voltaire to them: “The adjective is the enemy of the noun.” Or Mark Twain: “When you catch an adjective, kill it.”
