FG: All my friends say I'll survive...It just takes time

last week, on their way to lima, Peru to attend the APEC summit, the Philippine delegation made emergency stop over in japan after the first gentleman was said to have experienced "intense stomach pain" and was immediately admitted to a hospital in osaka. a lot of people quickly speculated that he could be have had problems related to his heart ailment. but official word has it that FG had diarrhea while on flight.

that's what they say. of course we all know what the real reason is. in the last apec meetings, all have been witness to an affair in the summits. an affair that blossomed through the years. and somebody just couldn't take it anymore that he would rather fly back home than to see how he lose his girl. and he had to come up with all those crappy excuses about him having diarhea and all that just to cut loose from the trip and make his way back home.

see how it started ...

in vietnam, 2006

"When you look me in the eyes,

I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes".


"fancy meeting
you alone in the crowd,
couldn't help but notice your smile"

"In your eyes
I can see my dreams reflections
In your eyes
I found the answers to my questions
In your eyes
I can see the reason why our love’s alive
In your eyes"

in chile, 2004

in australia, 2007
look at how his eyes wander around...

look at those long arms...



see what FG has been doing in the sidelines also...


but thats nothing compared to the wife's affair. yes, FG is having a problem with his heart. he's heartbroken to be exact...

this is not bitoy's funniest video, stop goofin' around!

last wednesday, another goofy member of the cabinet made a big fuss when he made his "impromptu" opening invocation imploring the president's term be extended. the goofy cabinet member was quick to clarify that his imploration was meant to be a joke adding that he trusts that it was a prayer and that the almighty has a lot of sense of humor. he further added that his boss, the mother of all goofs, had a quite a laugh after their meeting.

while she and all the cabinet members may had a field day at the goofy cabinet member's "joke", some people didn't quite take it the same way.

some presidentiables for instance didn't like the joke at all and were caught flashing their instant reactions to the goofy cabinet member's conduct. here are some of them:

here, vice-president noli de castro didn't quite like listening to the prayer as it was being said. he was ask by the media after wards for some reactions, here is how he felt about it:


sen. loren legarda was asked for some comments and this is what she had to say:

without an iota of doubt, she obviously can't stop herself from laughing.

now ex-senate president manny villar also had this rather stoical reaction.

he later took the floor and made this forecast...


senator lacson also gave this look when ask about the issue...another senat or and presidentiable was asked to comment on the goofy cabinet member's actions. this is what he has to say to him:



another 2010 presidentiable and the former speaker of the house of representative also gave thier reactions on the matter

the former speaker poutingly disapproves the idea

the MMDA chief, in his most enthusiastic manner, dismisses the slant.


the makati mayor, who had just declared his presidential ambition a few days ago, was also ask for his reaction, and he has this to show:

oops! wrong file, everybody! wrong file!

here is the makati mayor's facial retort:

he later had a draw back to a corner somewhere and made this gesture. he appears to be pondering deeply about iteven the newly elected US president had this expression to show about the beseeching for term extension


now, the one who has been quite, yet, the most affected by the invocation all along, shows his displeasure in the strongest and most desperate gesture of disgust he can ever come up. see how the "joke" has emotionally disturbed this guy.

amid all these sad mood, here is one guy who is exultantly celebrating what occurred last wednesday morning.

yeepee!

except for one, all the images in this post say one thing- that term extensions are no laughing matter. and all of us agree. so can somebody tell that goofy press secretary- don't push it!

save us from gray hair

last thursday's senate hearing on the fertilizer scam was a crap. it went out the way i thought it would. that gray haired goof whom a lot of people counted on to establish the truth and provide a solid proof that could finally pin down the administration on the count of corruption just drop by to defecate in the senate. similar to other previous hearings on garci tapes and NBN deal where people being questioned on corrupt practices just relieve themselves by having a bowel movement right in the senate.

now they feel relaxed and comfy. and just like that, all of us are going to put up with a lot of bulls**t from people like them once more. and everybody will simply keep quiet and let these people go off the hook and into their homes like they did nothing wrong. that's how we penalize big people like them. by punishing them with impunity.

that's why they keep on doing these to us 'cause they can easily make their way out of it. cause we let them. cause the people who are supposed to squeeze out all the evidences of their corrupt practices just did a crappy job in investigating. one wonders why the gray haired goof had to act like he was so sickly already after coming home from being incarcerated abroad after running away from the senate investigation in 2005. and give a lot of excrement on why he had to stay in the US on political asylum when he can simply do the same thing he did last thursday- drop a lot of bulls**t. lie about everything. then he's free. didn't he see what happened to garcillano? so why did he had to fly to the US?

one wonders too was it the best the senate can do? the senate is home to some of the best legal minds, as we thought. and some who could unload a lot of bulls**t too. the case of the double entry on the 2009 GAA could demonstrate that. could you imagine the amount of research done on this issue and that's all they could come up with. an ordinary worker gets reprimanded, suspended, demoted or paid less for turning in a shabby work, can somebody tell these people in the senate, who are full of crap, we're demanding our taxes back for the crappy work done in the investigation?

'bet, they're now contemplating on whether to continue with the investigation or not, now that the general thought is that they could get nothing out of all the fuss. they can't squeeze out the deal from the gray haired goof, so why not close the crappy hearing. that would save them from gray hairs themselves- except, of course, joker.

this country is wanting of substance to improve crop productivity so all could have food on our table . no, not just fertilizers, but substance from people who should save us from corrupt practices- who should do something to end all the fuss in the delivery of government services. in effect, that would save us from the gray haired goof, err... gray hairs.

the bull and the bear?

how about that? brock lesnar open-fired cement-block punches at couture. and couture saying "it's hard to get away from those punches." a UFC hall-of-famer making his concession statement. you got to give it to lesnar. i thought he was more patient this time unlike his first fights where he was a little careless like his fight with mir. he waited for the right time to launch his assault against captain america and he pulled it off. very patient, but relentless when he got the upper-hand. he was like a machine pounding on couture. randy looked like he was flatten by a steam roller after the fight ended.

you got to give it to couture also for staying that long. after a year lay-off and at his age plus a good strategy- to weaken lesnar, couture deserves some admiration. with lesnar learning and getting better in MMA, couture deserves credit for keeping up with the mammoth in lesnar. i really thought couture could have won the fight. up until right before lesnar knocked randy couture with... was it a right hook?, couture was standing up against lesnar and scoring better, i thought.

like what i said before, couture will bring a good gameplan. he's not only versatile, he's wise. he will try to drop lesnar to the ground and look for submission. and he will stand up against lesnar. and so he did. but lesnar was a smarter guy this time and took the better part of couture. very patient, waited before shooting for the take-down. got the chance he was waiting for, knocked randy down and brought a storm of hammer punches at couture. i guess one thing was proven here, brock proved me wrong. hat's off to lesnar. the mammoth polar bear manhandled the bull

now that he's the heavyweight champ, he's looking at the possibility of facing frank mir again if mir wins over "minotauro" nogueira. how about the new and improved brock lesnar versus mir whom he lost to once?

and how about the "rubber" match between hazelett and mccrory? "rubber"- these guys utilized the rubber guard to submit each other. a lot of fighters strike, pound on the ground, some choke or use the guillotin, others use other forms like arm bar, leg-lock, but these two went for the rubber guard. these guys can flex. it looked more like a fight of conturtionists. hazelett won via arm bar though. yeepeee!

the game name, err, game the name, err, the name game...

now, channelnews-asia just reported that world rice prices has just gone down as exporters had an oversupply of the grain. vietnam, one of the chief exporters of the staple has reduced its rice prices together with some other exporters while indonesia; an archipelago which has never exported its rice produce eversince, now self-sufficient with its rice outputs; is now ready to sell its excess rice overseas.

its funny how the cost of local rice has started to climb up quietly when global price of rice has gone down. and the government vowed just a few months ago to to deliver cheaper grains. aren't we starting to realize that its a totally different world out here?

there's a big, big show programmed this thursday at the senate. a guy who has something, err no, a huge thing to do with agriculture will appear before the senate blue ribbon and agriculture committees to explain how and where did an ENOOOORMOUUUUS amount of public funds appropriated for fertilizers went missing. funds believed to be redirected to the administration's campaign pool in the 2004 elections.

now wait, didn't we see this before? didn't we see garciliano and neri negate all allegations by saying: "it's not me, garci is not me" or "i didn't say that, i didn't say the president was evil". isn't this the same movie we saw twice already? isn't this the farcical scene where a bunch of second-rate comics gang up on a funnier clown who is simply a dummy of an even greater clown where the story ends with... the beat up clown goes off the hook, goes away scott-free, runs in elections or gets to be designated as head of CHED or any other comic-stage of a government agency. i got a feeling, this time around, the scene will end with the clown at the center of the story delivers his punchline by yelling "JOC-JOC-JOKE!".

truly, there is no business like showbizness.

there's another clown in the news today who has made public his intention to run for the presidency in 2010 and you bet, he's quite a goof. he's a good clown, in fact, he doesn't need clown make up or anything. he's like what maybelline models say "born with it".

the 60-something makati mayor associates himself with the newly elected US president by using the pet name "Jojobama". i thought it was just jobama as one jo is repulsive already, but like one wasn't repugnantly contemptible enough they had to extend it to Jojobama. good thing they didn't think of mojo-jojo-banana-rama-bama. or Jojo-jojo-fojojo-banana-fana-bojojo-fee-fay-momojo-jojo. 'cause that would have been a problem 'cause there won't be enought space in the ballot for those names. and voters would likely vote for the other candidates if you require them to spell those.

has he ever thought how would the real Obama feel when he learns about this? he might say: "ok, first my father gave me this dull name, now this guy is gonna use it for his gain. why don't he use Barrack instead. doesn't Bina(y)-Barrack sound better? that's swahili for loser, by the way". "why am i always the target of correlation of these publicity-hungry filipinos? first it was gloriah macapalgal-arrowyow, now it's Jeyjowmarr Beenay"

Macapalgal, err...Macapagal-arrowyow's congratulatory calls were reportedly disregarded by Obama twice that she is forced to go to chicago at a time Obama is in town to get him to acknowledge and recognize her. though, arrowyow doesn't wanna show the world that she is trying to get his attention by saying she's there to attend some sort of a gathering. but she intends to get Obama to meet her and shake hands with her and get harassed by her and get enlightened that she has a special kinship with Obama until she feels she and Obama are ready to forget their spouses already and you decide what's next.

and she's not gonna stop unless he has openly included her in his list of network friends in his friendster profile.

there was a news report about Obama not noticing macapagal-arrowyow even when she actually smashed into Obama after her hand waving didn't work while Obama's car was driving by. Obama reacted by whining to his security details about a crazy 50- something female stalker who ran into him.

all in a day's work?!

it was over before i got to enjoy it. before i could watch it in the news, it was over and done. McCain conceded before voters in the state of hawaii, who, due to the difference in the time zone, are the last to vote, could even pick up their pens and cast their ballots. spectators who were following the elections looked like perverts whose sexual enthusiasm went from a hard 10 inch dagger on the opening of the voting and then shrunk to a pruned sausage by the afternoon. some people just can't stop wanting to see more action. it was like a first round knock-out when everybody expected the contest to go the distance just like the two previous US presidential elections. the Bush-Gore rivalry went down-the-wire in 2000. Gore even ask for a recount in states where he thought his supporters' loyalty went all the way to the casting of ballots.

truly, what a difference a day make. Obama was an unknown black man selling lemonade on the streets of chicago one day and then the US president the next. imagine had Hillary won the Democratic nomination, she would have been the former wife of a cheating president then became the chief executive herself who's out to take revenge against her fatfaced man and do a ... monico... lewinsko. gross!?

and bill will be sleeping on the couch from the first night on.

you got to listen to some politicians in Manila who were said to be inspired by Obama's win that they too wanna run for the presidency in 2010. they kind of sound like low-level employees daydreaming of becoming the boss one day. good luck! see you when you get there.

you got the MMDA chairman insisting for the presidency or nothing. he has placed his posters everywhere including places where he has even no jurisdiction as MMDA chief. his name plastered over buses which plies even beyond metro manila routes. getting too excited are we? since he's at it already why don't he campaign in asg, milf infested areas. perhaps terrorists might be interested with his overly premature presidential campaign. that will give them something to discern about.

if he ever pursues the presidency, the MMDA chair's case would have been: "the one running after street vendors one day, the one who run a pointless campaign the next"

you have the makati mayor saying his friends have started calling him "joe-bama" for the unobscure reason of having the same skin tone with Obama and not for their reformist personality. it was said if he ever runs for president, just like Obama, he would pick somebody who has just the thing he lacks as a candidate for president to be his runningmate. so since he has dark features, he would have joker arroyo as his VP. since both advocate transparency in government, they would use the slogan "everything will be in black and white!"

the mayor's case could have been: "the dark one on the first day, the one who bought tons of whitening treatments on the next"

one youthful senator said Obama's win only proves that people want youth in a candidate. hence, he thinks he has a fighting chance.

he could become the: "the young turk one day, the other, err..., he finished a turkey"

ate vi is in a class of her own, when everybody wants to run for president, she has her eyes set on the vice-presidency and is going after the examples of gov. palin.

but since joe biden won, what's she gonna do now?

she could have become the: star for all seasons one day, and then the next day, since joe biden won, she was scared for a good reason"

2010 is still 1 and a half year away and they're all set for the royal rumble. in fact, just like Obama who has now put up his economic team, some presidentiables, too confident of their win in 2010 and not to be outdone by Obama, are now meeting with their respective economic advisers as well. this early! wooohooo!

feeling!?

of elections and presidentiables and tina-fay

the US presidential election is on in just a little over two days. and some say it's nothing short of an epic. John "the maverick" McCain against Barrack "that one" Obama. both are now hard pressed on their last minute campaigns on major and swing states.

you got to admire both men. they worked hard in their campaigns. i thought Obama ran a smart campaign and McCain was unwearied in his age. McCain is very patient, you got to admire his loyalty to his party. after eight years of waiting at the sidelines for bush to finish his terms after both battled it out in 2000 republican primaries. he was invited to switch sides by sen. kennedy, but his loyalty to the republican ideals prevailed over him. now he's, what? 72 years old. and finally getting his luck working.

same thing happened when he was a POW in vietnam, he was offered freedom but he decided to stay with his fellow POWs. it's either his vietnamese watcher must have made quite an impression on him or you simply cannot question his loyalty.

and you got to admire also how he defended his choice for a runningmate in sarah palin, who was quite a sport despite all the satirical sketches about her. oh yeah! russian president medvedev, premier putin and everybody in kremlin are now fortifying their buildings, covering all the holes where palin could peer in from her windows in alaska. they're really alarmed by what she said and they're calling a national security meeting because of that. whoooh!

joe biden, on the other hand, not to be outdone by palin, immediately showcased his expertise in foreign diplomacy and visited gov. palin in alaska which he now sees as either a separate state or a part of canada more than ever.

biden's presidential runningmate is just as commendable as mccain. he rised up the US political ladder with tremendous speed. you can't imagine how displeased and irritated is mrs. clinton at how he sideswiped her along the way.

in the philippines, the political scene is heating up as well two years ahead of the 2010 elections. yup! this early every "presidentiable" is popping out with their ads and road banners to jockey up for their party's nomination. how often do you hear this phrase these days: "kasama nyo ako"? and some are suggesting that gov. Vi of batangas will do a gov. sarah palin. wohooow!

it is said that since gov. Vi doesn't have a daughter, her son is now trying to look for a girl to impregnate just to get that complete sarah palin resemblance, or just to get close at least, what with the glasses and the librarian hairdo and all. (eugene domingo-Vi's double- is now called "tina-fay"- after Tina Fey)

the son was said to be reluctant at first as he vowed, for an undetermined reason, to be celibate for life, but agreed eventually. he was last seen wandering around willie revilame's noontime show. ssshkimberlu! shkimpertush! eklaBuh! willie! aleeert!
WHO COULD HE BE AFTER?

to borrow from sarah palin, gov. Vi, so they say, is going to use this catchphrase to drum up her vice-pres'l campaign: "i could see who is visiting us from the terrace!"
