I propose a law repealing the stupid "Lina Law."

Asa ka! botante kaya yang mga squatter. Ang tagal ng sinusuka ng mga upper middle class sa Makati ang pamilya binay, pero hangang ngayon andyan pa din sila.

Ang squatters area ang pinakamadaling pagkunan ng boto. Puros mga mangmang naman ang nandyan kaya madali utuin. Isa pa, mura lang kasi mamili ng boto sa mga squatter na lugar. Kapalit ng isang supot na may kalahating kilong bigas, sardinas, at instant noodles, habang buhay ka na nyan nila iboboto pati mga kaanak mo. Kaya sinong susuporta sa batas na yan?

Pero kung ako maging head of the state kahit ilang taon lang, gagawin kong labor camps ang mga squatters area at lahat ng nakatira i-Force labor ko. Parang yung ginawa ni Stalin sa Russia. Ta-tamad tamad naman ang madami dyan kaya pakinabangan na :lol:

Can somebody please tell what talent does Kris Aquino have that she deserves to be an A-list celebrity? Her acting is irritating to watch, she sure s@%t cant sing or dance, and puhlease, her talk shows feel like an entire hour of Kris Aquino commercial, because all it is about is me me me me me! My collection of bags, My diet plan, my sex life. Kahit sa mga interview nya sa hollywood celebrities self-promotion din

I wonder what we, as ordinary citizens, can do to punish these government officials. No, I'm not talking about filing plunder charges against these politicians. That's the job of the Ombudsman. What can we, as individuals, do to effectively put a damper on the lives of these crooks? Keying the expensive cars of these politicians comes to mind, but this is childish, not to mention illegal and constitutes vandalism. How about standing up and leaving a particular pew during a mass as soon as a corrupt politician sits beside you with his bodyguards in toe? Or looking the other way when they acknowledge your presence with a smile?

 

I know this is small time and not everyone is as indignant about these criminals posing as government officials. I wouldn't even be surprised if some stupid people will want to have their photos taken with these criminals.

 

So what can we do as individuals to show our displeasure over the activities of these criminals? How I wish we could create a new thread entitled "Ideas on how to personally show dirty politicians that we abhor them."

Pinakamainam na gawin, huwag sila iboto. Pag nawala sila sa kapangyarihan, vulnerable na sila. Eh ang kaso, hindi naman tayo ang nagdidikta ng kung sino nalulukluk sa pwesto. Ibig kong sabihin sa "tayo", tayo na marunong magbasa ng english na dyaryo. Tayo na nakapagaral. Tayo na may ITR. Ang nagdidikta ng kung sinong mauupo ay ang libo libong mangmang na masa na napakadaling utuin. Pansinin mo na lang pag kampanya, kelangan ba magaral ng mabuti kandidato para paliwanag platform nya at qualifications? Hindi! Kelangan matuto lang sumayaw ng gangnam style para maaliw mga nanonood.

Sabi ko nga, kung ang pwede lang talaga bumoto ay yung mga may ITR, mawawala yang mga artista sa senado, mabubuwal yang mga political families na yan. Kasi ang mga taong ito, hindi mo basta basta mauuto ng isang supot na may bigas sardinas at noodles. Di kagaya ng mga libo libong squatter na sa ganitong halaga, boboto ka na nila habangbuhay. Tignan mo na lang ang mga Binay sa makati, sinusuka na sila sa totoo lang ng mga business circles sa makati. Pero hindi sila mawala wala dyan, salamat sa mga squatter na nasa tabi tabi

As soon as procedures in extracting DNA are perfected, I propose a law that would require hardened criminals to submit their DNA to law enforcement for encoding into a nation-wide data base. In the US, this nationwide data base is called CODIS (Combined DNA Indexing System) Which type of criminals are required to submit their DNA will follow internationally accepted standards (if any exist). On top of this list are murderers, rapists, and other criminals with violent tendencies.

 

So if a rapist assaults a woman, leaving his DNA on the woman's body, SOCO can properly collect trace evidence such as pubic hair, semen, etc. and submit it to the forensic laboratory which will attempt to extract the DNA from such evidence. Once the DNA is extracted, the data will now be entered into the DNA database. If a criminal with a previous history of rape already has his DNA encoded on the database, the computer will make a match and print out his name.

 

So without even knowing who raped the woman, the criminal will be identified, based on the DNA he left behind. This will be prima facie evidence that the suspect was indeed the rapist.

 

All these are already in place in 1st World countries. Over here, convictions are still achieved only through eyewitness identification which can be flawed. With DNA matching, there is no room for doubt.

 

To date, I have never heard of any criminal convicted in the Philippines based solely on DNA he left behind at the scene of the crime.

There are many applications of DNA technology aside from forensics. Ang problema, lagpak talaga science and tech ng pilipinas. Although may mga Universities naman satin na nag-o-offer ng kurso na in relation sa ganyan, karamihan sa kanila, nagtratrabaho na lang abroad kung saan talagang malalaking industry ang science and technology na lang. Sa Japan halimbawa, ang daming research institutes at biotech firms. Wala nyan sa pinas. Para magkaroon ng ganyan, some legislation and funding is really needed to make the industry grow. Pero mas gusto ng mga congressman natin na pagawa ng mga kalsada o tulay kung saan malalagay nila pangalan nila

The idea of Pacquiao coaching a PBA team is really hilarious as far as I'm concerned. Dela Hoya, Mayweather, etc, never even thought of coaching expansion teams in the NBA. I really have no idea what he's thinking but I think when his team starts losing a lot of games, he'll be laughed at by PBA fans.

Like I said, this is nothing more but for the sake of his vanity and ego

It certainly looks that way to me too. They make the rules. And the rules will always favor their self-interests.

Hindi tayo totoong demokrasya. Kasi hindi naman tayo government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Government tayo of political families, for the political families, of the political families. They do not represent us, nor work for our best interest. A government that does not represent the best interest of its people can not be called a democracy. Sino ba sa mga congressman natin ang totoong kumakatawan satin? Tignan na lang natin sa sona, pagandahan ng mga isusuot at mamahaling sasakyan. Hindi ba at sampal ito sa mukha ng publko? Imbes sana magagandang accomplishments na pakikinabangan ng tao ang nagiging highlight ng sona, mas napapansin pa yung karangyaan ng mga dapat kumakatawan sana satin

What the hell does Pacquiao know about coaching at the PBA level? I thought that this was a joke at first but, apparently, Pacquiao will be coaching a new PBA team.

Kung baga sa pelikula, isa ito sa maraming vanity project ni Pacquiao. Sa isang banda, its good na he is trying to be a polymath and getting the most out of life. I mean how many of us will ever get to try many things like this. Sa kabilang banda, he is becoming way in over his head. Dyan na nga nagdeteriorate yung galing nya dahil sa libo libong distractions nya. Kahit trabaho nya ata sa congresso naaapektuhan na. Sya kaya panay absent ng absent. Wala naman masama subukan nya ang mga ito. Pero magconcentrate sya sa isang bagay one at a time sana. Kung gusto nya pa magboxing, dun muna sya tumutok. Pag nagretire sya, eh di aralin nya ng mabuti trabaho nya tapos saka sya maging full time na pulitiko.

Yan kasi ang hirap, nagiging part time sya sa lahat. Part time athlete, part time politician, part time preacher, ngayon coach naman. Si Arnold Schwarzzeneger din naman madami sinubukang ventures, pero nung governor sya, hindi talaga sya nagkaroon ng interes gumawa ng pelikula

An Act of Valor

One of the locations was supposed to be the Philippines, at syempre, tulad ng inaasahan marami ang nagreact violently sa portrayal ng mga pinoy bilang terrorista, pero kung tutuusin. totoo naman may mga abu sayaff mnlf at npa satin eh. Isa pa, ano bang problema kung tutuusin napaka inaccurate nga ng portrayal ng bansa natin

anti govt dynasty law...

Malabong maipasa ito at 80% ng mga representative natin sa batasan galing sa mga political clans

 

There is no short cut to effective crime prevention. Crime prevention is the responsibility of the police last time I checked. Since it's their responsibility, then they should do their jobs. After all, why are citizens such as us paying taxes for?

 

Hehehehe! Only in the Philippines ka siguro makakakita ng mga karatula sa mga pampublikong lugar na nagsasabing "Magingat sa mandurukot/snatcher/magnanakaw". Ang olats di ba? Kasi acknowledgement ito na gumagala nga ang mga masasamang elemento sa isang pampublikong lugar. At kung ginagawa nga ng autoridad trabaho nila, eh di dapat ligtas ang mga ganitong lugar sa mga ganyang klase ng krimen. Bakit ka magbibigay ng babala sa mga mabubuting mamamayan? Hindi ba mas dapat matakot ang mga snatcher at petty criminals? Pagamin na lang ito ng pagiging inutil nila. Kaya siguro mas tamang ganito nakalagay sa karatula "Pasensya na sa mga mamamayan, di namin kayo kaya proteksyunan, kaya kayo na bahala sa sarili nyo".

The expendables III

Expendables III early review

Yahooo! Was able to watch a DVD-quality copy of "The Expendables III" online weeks before its release! So here now is my early review. But be warned about some important things here. First, do not be one of those idiots expecting this to be more than what it is. Its not competing for an oscar. The story is shallow, the acting is blah, and its just filled with guilty-pleasure ridiculousness. Anybody who critics this film from the lack of story are like one of those idiots who walk inside McDonalds expecting a health-friendly meal. Make no mistake, this is cinema junk food. Also, if you are not a fan of 80s and 90s action, then you are probably not gonna like this. Remember folks, this is a love letter to the fans. To whimpy teenagers like myself back in those days growing up watching these guys and looking up to them as heroes. Before Ironman, before wolverine, before captain america, we had Rambo, Terminator, Blade etc.

So the movie opens with a rescue scene on a speeding train. The guys are after an old comrade who was part of the original gang. After busting him out, they go on another mission right after to find out that they are up against another old comrad. Stonebanks (Played by Gibson), who co-founded the expendables but has gone rouge and has been an a ruthless arms dealer. After one of the expendables gets fatally wounded, Barney Ross (Stallone) begins to reevaluate his morals and fires the old teammates and seeks to recruit new blood. Then, its one action sequence after the other.

The first installment took itself way too seriously and felt like a good direct-to-DVD action flick with famous names in the cast. The second was entertaining. It was self-aware that many of these heroes are old, and didn't mind making fun of themselves. With its humor, action scenes, and the duel between Stallone and Van Damme, it gave pretty much everything it asked for. The third one kinda mixed up the seriousness and the Humor. And so on those scenes that were serious I found kinda lame, and the scenes that were funny was pretty entertaining.

Wesley Snipes was great in this one, although I wanted to see more of what he could do reminiscent of the time when he was in his prime. I wanted to see more of him doing those cool martial arts moves. Who cares about rousey and these young guys? They are not the reason why fans wanna watch this. Gibson plays a decent villain. He is cold, ruthless, and seemed to have been in pretty good shape coming into this movie. Although his fight scene is stallone is not as good as it was when stallone was kicking Van Dammes ass. I really miss Van Damme, hope he brings him back in the 4th sequel as his twin. I liked Harrison Ford a lot too in this one too, suddenly I felt that they made a good choice firing Willis for this guy. Schwarzzeneger will always be the king of one liners (He uses the "Into the chopaa line a lot), but we really dont get to see much of him shooting around bad guys, and Jet Li was soooooo underused. I mean come on? Jet Li firing a machine gun from a chopper? No! No! No! We wanna see him do kung fu!

But the best part of this movie was not any of those guys I mentioned. It was Antonio Banderas. Man oh man, thank goodness for casting this guy! He stole every scene he was in! He was the perfect comic relief. His character played homage to his roles as Zorro, the mariachi... and puss in boots. He is just one annoying dude who can't seem to stop talking. I love how he tries to suck up to barney, and flirt with the only female member of the team. IMO he is enough reason to watch this movie.

There are plenty of action scenes in this movie, but they are not necessarily better than the second. Well... that isn't saying they were bad, but I wished that they stuck to basics and use less of that CGI crap. The climax as with typical 90s action was a bit over the top, but was still entertaining nonetheless.

Bottomline, despite all of its flaws and ridiculousness, Its still a love letter to us fans who grew up watching these guys. If you are a fan, you will forgive the movies short comings and enjoy it. If not. well...... just buy a ticket for a marvel movie.

I wanted to learn, pero talagang wala eh, I dont have good legs or rhtym. Anatomically paa ko yata pinaka may diperensya

Success is not determined by your capabilities but by your desire. The level of success you can achieve is always dependent on how much desire you have in you.

Ok call it cheesey

But Rocky Soundtrack works for me every time. . Sarap kaya tumakbo habang nakikinig ka sa gonna fly now, burning heart, eye of the tiger, at yung training montage music sa rocky iv.

Honorable Mentions

Eye of the tiger, Survivor- Warm up (yeah shoot me)

Lose yourself eminem- Rope skipping (The beat of this one helps me get my rhythm)

Breahe- The prodigy (I put this in the middle of the track pag tumatakbo lalo pag pahingal na)

X go give it to ya- DMX (Cardio Boxing)

False Pretense- Red Jumpsuit apparatus (all around pump up track)

Till I collapse- Eminem (after rest)

Bring it on- Nathaniel Dawkins (also a good all around pump up track)

Encore- Jayz/Linkin park (cool down)

Just- Startisan (cool down)

Everyone in that situation say that.

All the problems are with their partners but not them.

That they are not happy and they just don't understand why they are so in love now.

I think we should recall our first love in high school or college with sleepless nights.

We don't rationalize but just follow our emotions without thinking.

It is like that feeling and add one important ingredient...PASSION.

Passion takes over our mind.

I agree whole-heartedly with this. As much as it is euphoric its also a dangerous place to be. I believe not being able to control your passion to the point that you no longer rationalize is weakness. Just because you are happy with something or someone, it does not mean you should pursue it. Happiness is not a perfect gauge for determine right from wrong.

Emo people will always wanna go "Oh but only those who know how to speak from the heart will understand..yada yada yada!". Yep sure, up until magkademandahan na ng adultery.

What if he/she is taken but he/she told you that your the one he/she really loves.

His/her life is miserable with the one he/she's with, With you he/she is overjoyed,

you make him/her happy. What do you do.

Simple lang yan, kung talagang hindi na sya masaya sa kinakasama nya, eh di makipaghiwalay sya sa current partner nya ng hindi ka ginagamit na dahilan. Kasi una, ano sya sinuswerte? Mamamangka sa dalawang ilog? Tapos pag hindi nagworkout yung relasyon nyo balik sya kaagad sa dati? Pangalawa, kung hihiwalayan nya partner nya dahil sayo, eh di ikaw ang lalabas na mangaagaw. Sa mga pelikula lang ni Aga Mulach maganda ang ganun. Pero ako, naniniwala na kapag ang isang tao madali mo nasungkit sa iba, madali rin ito masusulot ng iba sayo. Pangatlo, responsibilidad nya kaligayahan at kapayapaan nya. Pinasok nya yang relasyon nya, tapusin nya ito ng maayos. Kung hindi, eh di ipaglaban nya. Hindi para kanino pa man kundi para sa sarili nya. Pangapat, hindi sapat na maging masaya ka sa isang bagay para masabi mo na tama na yung ginagawa mo. Ano bang relasyon ang hindi masaya at masarap sa umpisa?

Pag may kaso at lalo pag nakakulong, bawal dapat kumandidato

I think in a way MMA has taken over boxings market. Neither sport will ever go away, but as a whole i think MMA has the larger fanbase. People really follow the sport. As for boxing, most fans follow 1 or 2 of their favorite fighters. What makes MMA stand out as a sport is that it is continually evolving. The fighters, disciplines, techniques, etc.

Hmmm I dont know man, somehow Floyd is right by saying boxing is really for everybody, because lets face it, MMA is a more violent sport. Moreover, mas malaki laki pa din revenue ng major boxing events kesa sa UFC.

Pacquiao is gonna fight Chris Algieri in Macau on Nov.

Ok to be fair, on the upside, he will be taking on another undefeated opposition.

But seriously? Why this dude? What will Pacquiao gain from this fight. He beats this guy, people will just say he beat an inexperienced non-elite. He has only been in 20 fights and his most significant win was against Provodnikov via narrow split decision. Moreover, this guy has zero following. Ewan ko kung pano kikita laban na ito. Pag natalo pa si Pacquiao, wala ng duda na laos na nga sya. Natalo lang ng isang baguhan halos

mas gusto ko pa din pumupunta sa gym. Pag bahay lang kasi, parang tatamarin ka na lang. Hindi naman kelangan sobrang first class yung gym na pupuntahan mo. Kahit bakal gym lang ok na para magpalakas ng katawan

No. Aside from respecting the woman he is with, karma is just around the corner. You don't want the same s@%t happen to you, do you?

Yes tama ka, ang madali mong nasusulot sa iba, madali rin masusungkit sayo

Well definitely hindi sexual urges, kasi pwede ka naman magkaroon nito sa isang taong di mo kilala

Hindi rin pwedeng puro puso kasi papahamak ka naman nyan. Dapat samahan ng utak. Otherwise you will confuse simple infatuation with love na kaagad

Tama na, bitaw na, sasaktan mo lang lalo sarili mo sa ginagawa mo eh

I do appreciate and respect your comments here in the thread Sir Edmund, I really don't take it personally about the comments of other GM and I agree that someone like you can say comments objectively how you see it. I'm just saying and reacting to Rearden and your debate in my opinion only as I can say that I've been on both side of the fence ikanga .

Good luck and I really also wish them the best to those fall in love on these girls as I really do admit that it has a very low success rate. And I can say that it doesn't hurt much less than any other normal relationships. Its still the same heartache and sadness that you will feel as any other broken relationships.

Well I appreciate the respect. Maayos naman ako nakikipagusap basta maayos din kausap ko. Actually, isang punto lang naman dapat pinagtalunan namin ni Rearden, its the part na alisin dapat ng lalake yung babae sa ganung hanapbuhay. Well I already gave my reasons why already. Hindi naman dapat kasi humaba masyado yung paliwanag. Then again, this is me, my preference according to what I believe in. This is not something I am forcing sa iba, I am trying to discuss in this thread, at hindi ko naman pwede pasiyahin lahat sa sinasabi ko.

Although, lets make it clear that I am not prejudiced on these kind of women as far as being a person is concerned. I just dont see myself starting a serious relationship with one especially if they are still in the trade. But that is just me. Other than that, I do support the move to legalize prostitution and pornography. I have a couple of friends who used to be mobsters and did hard time. They are out of the life now of course.

What I can't stand is the hypocrisy of some people here desperately seeking validation. Akala mo kung sinong cavalry na nakasakay sa puting kabayo at nagtatangol ng sa dangal at respeto ng mga babae sa ganitong klase ng hanapbuhay. Pero andun naman sa mga MPA threads nakikipagpalitan in info, FR, at kung ano ano pa sa attendant na ginamit nila.

Ginoo, pakiusap, matuto kang rumespeto sa babae ano pa man kalagayan nila sa bahay.

 

Matagal ka na ako sa industriya, marami akong kilala at kaibigan na babae dito,

 

Peo kahit isa

 

Kahit minsan

 

Wala akong kilala na nakipag sex kahit kanino dahil dinepensahan sila.

 

Ayusin mo lang pagtrato mo sa kanila sa post wala tayong gulo.

:lol: Alam mo bang muntik na matapon sakin kapeng iniinom ko dahil dito. Grabe, di ako matigil kakatawa! Nagbanta pa talaga. :lol:. Talagang pinindigan ang pagiging internet white knight. Bravo! Palakpakan natin ang taong ito at papurihan natin, dakilang online na taga depensa nga mga MPA, therapist at GRO! Bravo bravo. Tularan natin, cuz hes the man. Tantanaaaaaaaan.

Matagal ka na kamo sa industrya at marami kang kaibigan dyan? Tsk, parekoy, wala ka bang ibang matambayan? Sa pananalita mo, parang dito talaga umiikot mundo mo eh. :lol:. Alam mo, masama sa katawan at pagiisip ang sobrang bisyo. Imbes dyan mo ginagastos oras at pera mo bat di mo subukan yung ibang bagay na paglilibangan. Sports halimbawa, lalaki lang bilbil mo kakapunta sa KTV.

Eto lang pamatay sa kahipokritohan mo. Ilan ba sa mga tinatawag mong kaibigan na yan ang natulungan mo na umiba ng linya? Kasi wala pa naman sigurong babaeng nangarap maging GRO at MPA di ba? At kung may natulungan ka nga, ilan dun ang hindi kailangan makipagtalik sayo? Huwag ka basta basta magaangat ng bangko mo at magpapangap na napakataas ng respeto mo sa mga ganitong babae kung ginagamit mo din naman pala sila. Kung nasa MPA threads ka nakikipagpalitan ng info sa kung sinong MPA ang pinakamagaling mag BJ, at nagbibigay pa ng 10 point rating system, huwag mo sabihin nirerespeto mo sila tulad ng ibang babae. Kasi produkto ang tingin mo sa kanila. Sex objects na pinapakinabangan mo. Kaya tigil tigilan mo pagmamalinis mo. Maaring mabait ka sa kanila, pero iba ang mabait sa mabuti parekoy. Hindi totoo yang mga sermon mo dito.

At huli sa lahat, marunong ako sumunod sa patakaran ng forum na ito. Maayos ako nakikipagusap. Si Rearden nga, nagpasintabi pa ako at alam kong sensitibo topic. Ngayon hindi ko kaya pasiyahin lahat sa sinasabi ko. Kung isa ka sa mga hindi natutuwa, eh di iclick mo ang dislike button. Nakakaawa ka parekoy, you are holding an online grudge at nagbanta ka pa. O bakit ano gagawin mo naman? Susundan mo bawat post ko at hihiyain ako sa bawat thread? Hahalukayin mo FB ko at kung anong mabahong detalye pwede mo magamit? Pathetic man. Di ka lang internet white knight, cyberbully ka pa. Eto ka pa o

Oooohhhh grabe Im so scared Im shaking in my boots right now.
