Smoking, Smokin', or smoKING ?

Yeah whatever you call it, it still is a health hazard -smoking. What's outrageous about is that, a young boy in Indonesia was condoned to doing it. Young boy would mean at the age of 18 months and since, has gotten an addiction. Watch this:



What do you think?

Aside from the parents who has the sole responsibility, it should also include the government. This does not include just in Indonesia, but to the rest of the countries who care for their loved ones and their people.

In the Philippines, smoking is really cheap and even if there is a law banning youngsters to not engage in this activity and a law banning smoking in public places, people would just shrug off and care less. For me I would not mind if they don't blow the smoke to somebody else if smokers inhaling everything, but it's not just the case. Maybe a deterrent is to tax these vices higher (200 - 500%).

Anyway, goodluck to everyone smokers and non-smokers alike - whose going to stand long ....

Lady Gaga mtv spoof

The very talented lady gaga was spoofed by these Filipino comedians. If you know how to speak Filipino then this video will make you laugh all your troubles. I don't know what are the undertones here be it cultural, political or other form of personal beliefs. But the talent put into this spoof is really amazing....

The thought of it gave me chills

The Philippine elections last May 10 has steamed off. My vote went to Gilbert Teodoro whom I believe, is the most capable and qualified. I was having doubts because of his association with Gloria whom I voted as well, but prior to this final decision of mine, I was really thinking of voting for Noynoy Aquino, just for the mere fact that he was full of idealism and spirit, and I for one felt his sincerity. I was almost convinced but when I researched on information about all of the presidentiables, I found Gibo to be the best man.

After the voting process, I was so jittery and really waited for all the news about the results. The leading candidate is Noynoy followed by Estrada.... What ??? It's a huge WTF!!!! The thought of it all Estrada who garnered some 8 million votes as of latest tally gives me chills.

Everything happened for a reason indeed. God still loved my country and so grateful for this for not letting Estrada win it all. And for those who voted for Estrada, good luck to them.... I may understand that they pity the person of what happened who they loved for whatever reason but not to the point of reappointing him. For goodness sake this is not one of his movies - this is REALITY.

Anyway, Gibo is ranked fourth but I still believed in his idea of change and all the logical and clear platform of government. I think I can give Noynoy a chance and support him and make all his best effort to deliver his platform of which the majority of the voters believed.

Grrrrr .... It still gave me chills....

Barack Obama wins, so what's the score?

I was not really that much of an election frenzied as I am situated away from the USA, nor an American. But think about this. USA is such a huge and powerful country. It's decision can make or break the world into rubbles. It's power is vast. Why should I not give a damn?

I myself have likened the speeches of Obama and it moves me specially when I was attentively listening and watching over them at where else? Youtube.com! The moment he stands there on the stage, firm and full of conviction, until he closes his harangue, it's just so full of strength and rage for change. His messages to the millions of Americans and to the world watching, were really effectively delivered. His gestures and his facials were totally convincing. But, what's the score now that he has won the first leg of the race?

Well, he has managed to win the nods of the majority. He deserves to be there as I see it. To those opposed, let us give him a chance to do what he has got to do. I think in a scoring from one to ten, he has already a point - securing the seat in the White House that is. He has still a long way to go and prove himself with what he has had in his harangues. Every American and anyone who are in dire need of change can support him. The call is to support and put aside the bickering and political issues.

So what's the score? As I have said, it's a point. What about you? Do you have already a score for yourself?
