Signs

At last! I have long been looking for the link. Now here it is (though it is much clearer with Flash videoplayer).

The video says a lot about the noise beaming almost every corner of our planet, about most unexpected things that can happen in the most 'usual' situation, or about a relationship that may blossom in a unexpected circumstance.

We just keep on hoping, or we just keep on dreaming.

GMA7 & ABS-CBN Livestreaming

Here's the livestreaming of GMA7 and ABS-CBN. The cool thing is you can actually watch both networks at the same time. If you feel you need not miss any event in the Philippines, then go and see them simultaneously.

But if not, my advice for you is to decide which one you really feel like watching, and completely shut off the other (use control buttons within the screen).

Again, I do not patronize network wars. As an avid televiewer myself, I do not believe that I should confine my source of information and entertainment to a single network. As Pinoy abroad, we should rather be thankful for we are afforded freedom to choose.

Besides, they are free, and as they said "the best thing is in life are free." Enjoy!

Juana Change Bayani

I got this video from a fellow blogger. Thanx to seashellofislandandangel for the link. To all Pinoys, I guarantee watching the video will make eyebrow raise.

I find the ending disturbing though. I guess the question here is hanggang kailan pa kaya?/

Well, we have our own reasons why we have to suffer through all these. It's our individual and personal decision when and how do we want to end this. You be the judge.

Lea Salonga?

I was one of those who lined up on the first day to watch the animated movie Alladin. You know that feeling of being first - kasi you're in a more solid position to spoil it. Hehehe.

Kasikatan din talaga ni Ms. Lea Salonga non, kaya she's a worthy topic in almost every conversation back then. Besides, cartoons is really something I never really outgrew. I am still fond of watching them. Oftentimes nga, I choose short cheesy animated films over award-winning and critically-acclaimed movies. I am amused with Spongebob, Ben10, Megas XLR, at syempre Samurai Jack (kaya lang puro replay na lately).

And so I was there inside the cinema with all fellow would-be spoilers. The experience was usual, but at the time when the voice of Ms. Salonga started to play, OMG...the feeling was unforgetable. Siguro that feeling of tiny patriotism in me kicked in. I got goosebumps for the rest of the song, teary-eyed for that matter, knowing our very own Ms. Lea has uplifted the country once again. Like Cory Aquino, she made me really proud being a Filipino.

This is why, for me, no singer can sing that part of "A Whole New World" better than her.

There were attempts though, and here is a good example. While watching and listening, it has taken me aback. Watch, and be amazed?

One Good Person

Amongst the speech delivered during the necrological services of Tita Cory, Conrado de Quiros' struck me the most. In it, I find no reason to adore Tita Cory as President or for whatever she symbolizes. Rather his speech finds all reasons to adore Tita Cory for her humanity.

I've been searching the internet for his speech, and asking fellow bloggers if they have a copy so I can post it here, a sort of another tribute. But what I do know, after all the searching....I found it inquirer website, in his regular column.

Here it is:

I’VE written a good many things about Cory this past couple of weeks. I guess it’s time I got a little more personal.

I wasn’t an ardent fan of Cory at the beginning, I was an ardent critic. I came from the ranks of the red rather than the yellow, and looked at the world from the prism of that color. It got so that in one program Kris Aquino invited me to (I don’t know if she remembers this), she took me to task for it. It was an Independence Day show, and during one break, Kris turned to me and said: “Why are you so mean to my mom?”
