Everybody wants to be good, but not many are prepared to make the sacrifices it takes to be great.

Why a man can't win

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you are a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework, you are a pansy

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her..
If you don't work enough, you are a good for nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your rear and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism.
If she gets job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you are a wimp.
If you don't, you are an insensitive bastard.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you are a chauvinist.
If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.
If she asks you, it's a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear, you are a pervert.
If you don't, you are a fag.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you are a sexist.
If you don't, you are unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you are vain.
If you don't, you are a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you are after something.
If you don't, you are not thoughtful.

If you are proud of your achievements, you are up yourself.
If you don't, you are not ambitious.

If she has a headache, she is tired.
If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore.

If you want it too often, you are oversexed.
If you don't, there must be someone else.

from Burnz

14

I have now reigned about 50 years in victory or peace, beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot. They amount to fourteen.

I am a Ventrue

Business minded and a natural leader, you are a canidate to be embraced by the Ventrue clan. You can be rather dominant with a high stamina however, you tend to have obsessive compulsive tendencies...especially when it comes to your food. You are the clan the others look to organize groups and factions. Generally princes are among this clan. What Vampire Clan Do You Belong To?

The Ventrue

Elegant, aristocratic and regal, the Ventrue are the lords of the Camarilla. It was Clan Ventrue that provided the cornerstone of the Camarilla, and it is Clan Ventrue that directs and coaxes the Camarilla in its darkest hours. Even in the modern age, the majority of princes descend from Clan Ventrue. The Ventrue would, of course, have things no other way. In the tradition of noblesse oblige, the Ventrue must lead the other clans for their own good. In ancient nights, Ventrue were chosen from nobles, merchant princes or other wielders of power. In modern times the clan recruits from wealthy "old-money" families, ruthless corporate climbers, and politicians. Although Ventrue move in the same social circles as the Toreador, they do not fritter away their existences in frivolity and idle chatter. The Ventrue proudly wear the privileges of leadership, and stoically bear its burdens. Thus has it always been; thus shall it always be.

I am the Sun

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

What type of Camera are you?

What type of Camera are you? Olympus You are one of the idealistic Olympians of the camera world. Always on the side of the weakest. A beacon to be seen from a long distance, upright but fading. A bit here, there and everywhere. Often ignored by the others and overlooked by their own kin. With so little room for the nice guys in this world would anyone really miss you if you decided to sell cars instead?

Light and Glitter

"LIGHT AND GLITTER"
Emilio Jacinto

Glitter hurts the eye and deceives. Light favors sight and shows things as they are.
Glitter is fallacious.
Let us seek light and do not let us be deceived by the false glitter of the wicked.
Does a brilliant carriage pass as drawn by spirited horses? We salute and consider that he who sits in it is a person of social standing. But, perhaps, he is a thief and the jewelry and vain show of honesty may conceal a perverse heart.
Does a poor man pass us, bent under the heavy burden he is bearing? We smile and ask ourselves where he stole that which he is carrying. But, thanks to the light, we can see by the sweat of his brow and the fatigue of his body that this man is living by his own toil.
Alas! It is the custom to worship glitter and reject light.
This is the reason why man and nations are suffering misery and pain.
Treason and perversity seek glitter in order to conceal their falseness from the eyes of the spectators; but honesty and sincere love go naked and allow themselves to be seen confidently by the light of the day.....

“Ang Ningning at Ang Liwanag”
isinulat ni: Dimas-Ilaw (Emilio Jacinto)


Ang ningning ay nakasisiLaw sa paningin. Ang Liwanag ay kinakaiLangan ng mata, upang mapagwari ang buong katunayan ng mga bagay-bagay.

Ang bubog kung tinatamaan ng nag-aapoy na sikat ng araw ay nagniningning; ngunit sumusugat sa kamay ng nagaganyak na dumampot.

Ang ningning ay madaya.

Ating hanapin ang Liwanag, tayo'y huwag mabighani sa ningning. Sa katunayan ng masamang kaugaLian: Nagdaraan ang isang karwaheng maningning na hinihiLa ng kabayong matuLin. Tayo'y nagpupugay at ang isasaLoob ay mahaL na tao ang nakalulan. Datapwa'y marahiL naman ay isang magnanakaw; marahiL sa iLaLim ng kanyang ipinatatanghaL na kamahaLan at mga hiyas na tinatagLay ay natatago ang isang pusong sukaban.

Nagdaraan ang isang maraLita na nagkakanghirap sa pinapasan. Tayo'y mapapangiti at isasaLoob: Saan kaya ninakaw? Datapwa'y maLiwanag nating nakikita sa pawis ng kanyang noo at sa hapo ng kanyang katawan sa siya'y nabubuhay sa sipag at kapagaLang tunay.

Ay! Sa ating pang-uga-ugaLi ay Lubhang nangapit ang pagsamba sa ningning at pagtakwiL sa Liwanag.

Ito na nga ang dahiLang isa pa na kung kaya ang tao at ang mga bayan ay namumuhay sa hinagpis at daLita.

Ito na nga ang dahiLan na kung kaya ang mga Loob na inaakay ng kapaLaLuan at ng kasakiman ay nagpupumiLit na Lumitaw na maningning, LaLung-LaLo na nga ang mga hari at mga Pinuno na pinagkatiwaLaan ng sa ikagiginhawa ng kaniLang mga kampon, at waLang ibang nasa kundi ang mamaLagi sa kapangyarihan sukdang ikainis at ikamatay ng Bayan na nagbigay sa kaniLa ng kapangyarihang ito.

Tayo'y mapagsampaLataya sa ningning; huwag nating pagtakhan na ang ibig mabuhay sa dugo ng ating mga ugat ay magbaLatkayo ng maningning.

Ay! Kung ang ating dinuduLugan at hinahainan ng puspos na gaLang ay ang maLiwanag at magandang-asaL at matapat na Loob, ang kahit sino ay waLang mapagningning pagkat di natin pahahaLagahan, at ang mga isip at akaLang ano pa man ay hindi hihiwaLay sa maLiwanag na banaL na Landas ng katwiran.

Ang kaLiLuhan at ang katampaLasanan ay humahanap ng ningning upang huwag mapagmaLas ng mga matang tumatanghaL ang kaniLang kapangitan; ngunit ang kagaLingan at ang pag-ibig na daLisay ay hubad, mahinhin, at maLiwanag na napatatanaw sa paningin.

MapaLad ang araw ng Liwanag!

Ay! Ang anak ng Bayan, ang kapatid ko, ay matututo kayang kumuha ng haLimbawa at Lakas sa pinagdaanang mga hirap at binatang mga kaapihan?

I will let you shine...

I will let you shine so bright that you will be blinded by your own light. Do not bite if your might is not enough to fight.
I do not have any plan to make you any less of me because I do not need to compare myself to you. Insecurities do not bring peace. I will simply step back and let you drown in the tides of your pride.

Outgrown my own

I have this camera for a couple of years now. I believe I have outgrown my own. I want something more. I have this feeling of discontent right now. But I know I can't let go of my faithful Olympus E300.

Another Suitcase In Another Hall

Poker Face

Aside from being a part time Ninja. They also call me "Poker Face" Daddy Mike gave me this aka. For some reason that I'm aware of. I have mastered the art Poker Facing. I don't know where did I learned that. But I know I'm good at it: as-if-I-don't-care look, uninterested, etc. Some thought I'm suplado, a snob, unappreciative; but I am not. It's just that I always suppress my feelings--for some reason.

part time NINJA

That's my new shirt from David&Goliath.
True to my nature of being a ninja. Super ninja takas ako sa inuman sa ofis. =P

I used to rule the world

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

...then you make me crawl

You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
