During the 2009 Leonid meteor shower, you may see anywhere from 30 to 300 shooting stars an hour, depending on whether you're in the right place to see Tuesday's showy peak before dawn, experts predict.

Its Leonid Meteor Shower over the sky on many Asian countries now but sadly, until now I can't see at least one. :( I have one wish pa naman, sayang.

Good times! :)

Someone forgive me already about what I've done to and having a new friend at the same time. I'm starting again to zero and trying to accomplished everything that I left behind. Anyway last celebration of Flor's birthday was FUN! FUN! FUN! I enjoyed that night swimming although my colds keep getting me harder to breath lol.

Lesson learned this past few days...

*keep waiting for the right time and move.

*think first someone's feeling before you act.

*don't be carried away by your feelings instantly.

lasty...

*BE PROUD for who you are.


Good times! :)

I didn't expected that my comment on Manila Gay Guy topic about "On COMELEC and Ang Ladlad" entry will be included at GMANews.TV article 'Medieval' Comelec hit for rejecting Ang Ladlad'

I accidentally visited the news site looking for Pacquiao - Cotto update lol. Since COMELEC rejected Ang Ladlad petition for running as a Party List this coming 2010 National Election for representing Filipino LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual) Community for the second time. In fact COMELEC reason to denied And Ladlad petition because of Immorality.

From The Philippine Star:


MANILA, Philippines - The Commission on Elections (Comelec) yesterday rejected the petition of Ang Ladlad Party, which represents homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender individuals, to be registered as a sectoral party because of “immorality.”

In an eight-page resolution, Comelec Second Division presiding commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer and commissioners Lucenito Tagle and Elias Yusoph said Ang Ladlad’s petition is “dismissible on moral grounds.”

“(The) Petitioner defines Filipino lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community (as) marginalized and under-represented sector that is particularly disadvantaged because of their sexual orientation and gender identity… and proceeded to define sexual orientation as that which refers to a person’s capacity for profound emotional, affectional and sexual attraction to, and intimate and sexual relations with, individuals of a different gender, of the same gender or more than one gender,” the resolution said.

The commission said the definition of the represented sector “makes it crystal clear that (the) petitioner tolerates immorality which offends religious beliefs.”

The commissioners cited passages from the Bible – Romans 1:26-27 – and the Koran to illustrate their point.

Romans 1:26-27 reads: “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.”

Comelec said the party’s petition also “collides” with Article 694 of the Civil Code which defines nuisance as “any act… that disregards decency or immorality” and Article 1306 which provides that “contracts whose cause object or purpose is contrary to law, morals, good customs, public order or public policy are inexistent and void from the beginning.”

The commission said the petition for registration does not conform to the Catholic faith.

“Should this Commission grant the petition, we will be exposing our youth to an environment that does not conform to the teachings of our faith. We are not condemning the LGBT but we cannot compromise the well-being of the greater number of our people, especially the youth,” the resolution said.

Ladlad president Danton Remoto condemned the decision “of the very old men” who showed “painfully obsolete ideas about homosexuality.”

Here's my comment on Manila Gay Guy site about this...



The other part of my comment from MMG included in one of GMA News website article...



On my part I was a little shocked, proud and happy that my little voice will be heard by the whole world with the help of two sites that I've mentioned. Actually I have a lot of gay friends and one lesbian cousin. When I read about what COMELEC did and said something hot words about LGBT, aba! syempre di ko naiwasan magalit at manginig ang laman. They DISCRIMINATING every FILIPINO LGTB. Yeah I'm proud for being Bisexual and only 18 at age but hey I am totally aware about what's happening in our society.

May God Bless my beloved homeland, the Philippines this coming years.

Det, Ayva, Flor, Eric and Alvin arrived here in the house just to tell me that we're going to celebrate Flor's special day at Bosay Resort. Yay! A night swimming and a good location to do the whole celebration. Haha! Even though its so cold there at night because of many trees will be found at the resort, hey I'm going with them kahit may colds ako. :))


Good times! :)

From Mashable:

"Google’s been on a homepage logo changing spree: they’ve celebrated H.G. Wells, the bar code, Confucious, Gandhi, and Sesame Street over the last few months alone.

If you check Google.com now though, you’ll see that the search giant is celebrating something different: the discovery of water on the moon! NASA made the stunning announcement earlier today after its moon bombing mission successfully revealed water under the lunar surface. And now the Google logo depicts the bombing revealing water."

Yay! Kudos to NASA for this great discovery this 21st century. :)


Good times! :)

From Reuters:

PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) – The United States' first marijuana cafe opened on Friday, posing an early test of the Obama administration's move to relax policing of medical use of the drug.

The Cannabis Cafe in Portland, Oregon, is the first to give certified medical marijuana users a place to get hold of the drug and smoke it -- as long as they are out of public view -- despite a federal ban.

"This club represents personal freedom, finally, for our members," said Madeline Martinez, Oregon's executive director of NORML, a group pushing for marijuana legalization.

"Our plans go beyond serving food and marijuana," said Martinez. "We hope to have classes, seminars, even a Cannabis Community College, based here to help people learn about growing and other uses for cannabis."

The cafe -- in a two-story building which formerly housed a speak-easy and adult erotic club Rumpspankers -- is technically a private club, but is open to any Oregon residents who are NORML members and hold an official medical marijuana card.

Members pay $25 per month to use the 100-person capacity cafe. They don't buy marijuana, but get it free over the counter from "budtenders". Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., it serves food but has no liquor license.

There are about 21,000 patients registered to use marijuana for medical purposes in Oregon. Doctors have prescribed marijuana for a host of illnesses, including Alzheimer's, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Tourette's syndrome.

On opening day, reporters invited to the cafe could smell, but were not allowed to see, people smoking marijuana.

"I still run a coffee shop and events venue, just like I did before we converted it to the Cannabis Cafe, but now it will be cannabis-themed," said Eric Solomon, the owner of the cafe, who is looking forward to holding marijuana-themed weddings, film festivals and dances in the second-floor ballroom.

NO PROSECUTION

The creation of the cafe comes almost a month after the Obama administration told federal attorneys not to prosecute patients who use marijuana for medical reasons or dispensaries in states which have legalized them.

About a dozen states, including Oregon, followed California's 1996 move to adopt medical marijuana laws, allowing the drug to be cultivated and sold for medical use. A similar number have pending legislation or ballot measures planned.

Pot cafes, known as "coffee shops", are popular in the Dutch city of Amsterdam, where possession of small amounts of marijuana is legal. Portland's Cannabis Cafe is the first of its kind to open in the United States, according to NORML.

Growing, possessing, distributing and smoking marijuana are still illegal under U.S. federal law, which makes no distinction between medical and recreational use.

Federal and local law enforcement agencies did not return phone calls from Reuters on Friday seeking comment on the Portland cafe's operations.

"To have a place that is this open about its activities, where people can come together and smoke -- I say that's pretty amazing." said Tim Pate, a longtime NORML member, at the cafe.

Some locals are hoping it might even be good for business.

"I know some neighbors are pretty negative about this place opening up," said David Bell, who works at a boutique that shares space with the cafe. "But I'm withholding judgment. There's no precedent for it. We don't know what to expect. But it would great if it brought some customers into our store."

This song is from one of my Country musical influences Jason Aldean. "The Truth" is the 3rd single from his sophomore album "Wild Open".



Jason Aldean - The Truth

Tell em all I'm on vacation,
Say I went to visit friends,
That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while,
When they ask you where I've been,
Tell em I'm out on the west coast where it don't ever rain,
And that I'm probably doing fine,

Just don't tell em I've gone crazy,
That I'm still strung out over you,
Tell em anything you want to,
Just don't tell em all the truth,
Yeah don't tell em all the truth,

Tell em all I'm out in Vegas,
Blowin' every dollar I ever made,
Tell em that I must be into something bad for me cause,
I sure lost a lot of weight,
Tell em I'm out on the road with some old rock and roll band,
Living like a gypsy can,

The truth is that I'm asking you to lie,
And we both know that it ain't right,
But if you ever loved me please,
Have some mercy on me,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Tell em anything you want to,
Just don't tell em all the truth,
Yeah don't tell em all the truth,
I still need you,
Yeah that's the truth,
I still love you,
Baby that's the truth.

Good times! :)

Just made an account to another blog platform a few weeks ago. Tonight, I tried to hang out at the site and I found my self a man losing in a island lol. Aside from the fact that's my first time to use their service and been adopting its environment, maybe time will come and I'll able to adopt the said site either if ever I'll try it again. :D. Actually I decided to leave Blogspot but still it wins my heart.Yeah I admit the other blog platform that I'm talking about is much more way fun to use because of its uniqueness but Blogspot has its own attraction to me that I can't found to the first one that I've mentioned.

I considered this site as my new world; been posted here some of my so called personal sentiments since I'm a fully private person lmao. I'd created more blog accounts here and this blog, my latest one will become my last one blog. I'm promised. :)

So yeah, I wish I can run this new world of mine as a totally random. A crazystuuuff page indeed.

How inspirational, isn't it?

My #MusicMonday for this week. This is my second fave cut from her "Play On" album behind Temporary Home. Again, Carrie rules!




Whatcha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm

Do you call her over, hand her the change
Ask her story, ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself

You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

Oh, whatcha gonna do when you're watching TV
And an ad comes on, yeah you know the kind
Flashing up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day you could save a life

Do you call the number, reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel, call it a scam
Or do you tell yourself

You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Don't listen to 'em when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't listen to 'em when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

The world's so big it can break your heart
And you just want to help not sure where to start
So you close your eyes, and send up a prayer into the dark

You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Don't listen to 'em when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't you listen to 'em when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

Coffee Can Delay Severe Alzheimer's Disease.

Kompas.com "Consumption of coffee every day may help delay the development of Alzheimer's disease, according to results of a study on the issue of the Journal of Azheimer's Disease, online edition. Drinking coffee has been linked to previous mengecilnya risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Some researchers from the University of South Florida studied 55 mice that had been genetically engineered to be attacked by madness symptoms similar to Alzheimer's symptoms such as older animals.

Alzheimer's occurs when a lump of abnormal proteins that stick in the brain called the "beta-amyloid" piled up to form plaque, thus damaging kofnitif function.

Half the animals were given doses of caffeine every day in the drinking water, while the other half continued to drink plain water.



At the end of two months of the study, all the mice that drank caffeine showed results that are far better in memory and the ability berfikirnya than rats given plain water. Memory is as sharp as a rat animal healthy older without madness.

The study finds that caffeine cuts up to half of the excessive blood and the level of "beta amyloid" in the rat brain.

"The new findings provide evidence that caffeine can be 'therapy' is active for Alzheimer's disease, which was attacked, and not just as a protection strategy," said lead researcher, Gary Arendash, neuroscientists from the University of South Florida.

"That's important because caffeine is a drug that is safe for most people. The substance is easily enters the brain. And apparently directly affects the disease process," said Arendash as reported China's official news agency, Xinhua.

The researchers hope that caffeine can be a safe treatment and is not expensive for the memory loss disease and want to do experiments on human patients as soon as possible.

One study in 2002 found that people who consume caffeine in the middle ages they have a risk of 60 per cent less for developing the disease."

Not a coffee lover here but I think I should take atleast one cup of it every morning. :D

While in many countries, All Saints Day is a solemn holiday set aside to remember the dead, in the Philippines the holiday is a day of festivities. November 1 marks the beginning of the Filipino "Araw ng mga Patay," the celebration of the Day of the Dead. The celebration continues through the next day, All Souls Day. The two days are traditional Catholic holidays set aside to commemorate all the saints and the souls of the dead. While the holiday remains an important religious day for the Catholic Church, some of the more secular aspects are celebrated by the non-Catholic community. Though the people in the Philippines celebrate and honor the dead joyously, All Saints Day is still a respectful day for commemorating ancestors.

A prosperous All Saints Day to y'all!


Good times! :)
