11252009 The Philippines is Stronger Today! Presidential aspirant Gibo to Pres. Arroyo: Look beyond political alliances in solving Ampatuan massacre in Maguindanao. I would have liked to stay away from politics in my blogs but the message is important for Filipinos and the actions much more. When faced with tragedy and emergency simple people makes heroic decisions. I believe that each of us have those qualities and could act accordingly. It is these individuals that shine forth amidst trials, conformists and pressures. When we act on our ideas we might cause greatness and we also might cause autocracies. We must choose what is right for the Philippines and for our fellows. In these tragic times we seek the best in ourselves, the best in others, a faith in justice, support for the government, respect for law and order, respect for our president and the greatness of our nationhood. We call for a decisive action for the Ampatuan massacre in Maguindanao. Strike swift and hold accountable

11 15 2009 Today is the big fight of Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. The streets again would be empty and the lowest crime rate day would again be here. I hope it goes true for Puerto Rico too. We Filipinos would again be joined as brothers and sisters in celebrating greatness and courage. Many people would join us in our celebration of indomitable spirit of these fighters. Regardless of the outcome we will be happy for Manny Pacquiao and happy to be Filipinos. Patriotism is in the air mostly this days. How I wish that everyday we are proud in being a Filipino. The past few days I have been again going around the galleries for exhibitions and quite satisfied that there are enough activities to merit setting up some documentations and some articles. I am able to work in some new painting to par. I am also getting my mojos back. Ha ha ha ha. I am just happy that I found the upcoming competition for art foremost to mind – quite predictable really. Every artist would want to win the lotto

11 05 2009 I am in for a shock really. What is happening to this world? I have been chatting on ym and described myself as 140 lbs to a chat mate and am accused of being chubby... Sigh. I even slashed a few pounds off the total. Still... Am not really vain but I have to eat humble pie with this revelation. I never felt this discomfited before but am not really angry. I am just amused. Lost for words. I do have to groom myself, be more happy and take care of my health better. My room stinks and I have not really been eating healthy. That goes with being single all these thirty something years. I better get a wife quick or not. I really have nothing to do at home aside from my " plans to do". I should take up sports again in a moderate way. Maybe I could be preoccupied then. Maybe some jogging or basketball. I used to take taekwondo and muay thai but I don't know if I still have the disposition to continue them. I might not have the right incentives to follow through. Bori
