It’s hard to beat the system
When we’re standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change.

Picnik will be gone by April 19, 2012. Good news is, premium features are all for free until then. Still, a sad one for Picnik lovers like me. Bye bye, love.
Naiiyak ako para sa mga taong nadamay sa aksidente sa Taytay (Tikling Intersection).
Dahil sa dump truck, marami ang namatay. Pwedeng magmura nang malutong? Mga puuuuuuuusang gala kasi yang mga driver na hayok na hayok sa pagharurot ng mga minamaneho nila. Akala nila sila lang ang tao sa lansangan na pag may nangyari sa kanila, sila lang ang mamamatay.
Di ko maintindihan kung bakit sila (yung driver) nagmamadali, di naman sila ang malelate. Ewan ko lang, baka may importante silang appointment kaya ganun. O di kaya e natatae na sila.
Grabe ang pagbulusok ng emosyon ko nung napanood ko yung balita. Kasi naman gabi-gabi akong buwis-buhay na bumabyahe mula Cainta patungong Cubao kung saan ako nagtatrabaho. At gabi-gabi rin ay nagdarasal ako na sana hindi ang aksidente sa Marcos Highway o ang pagkasaksak ng mga holdaper ang ikamatay ko. Hello? May anak ako na mahal na mahal ako. Gusto ko pang makita syang magkajowa at magkaanak no.
Sa balita, ang mga opisyal ng Taytay ay humihingi daw ng tulong sa DPWH at sa gobyerno na maayos ang mga lansangan. Eto lang ang masasabi ko, kung walang disiplina ang mga motorista, wala rin maitutulong ang maayos na kalsada. Muntanga lang!
Tssssssss!

Amid screams from a crowd of more than 200, some 30 members of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity made their highly anticipated naked run around the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.
This year’s run was dedicated for the protection of rivers in the Philippines.
The Oblation Run is held every December, the anniversary month of Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity. The first Oblation Run happened in 1977 to protest the banning of the film “Hubad na Bayani.”

When your baby is crying at three in the morning or your toddler’s just thrown his lunch all over your newly mopped floor, it’s easy to forget the good bits about being a parent. To help you through the tough times, here’s our round up of the things that make parenting fun. You can add your ideas, too, by scrolling down to the parents’ tips box at the bottom of the page.
1 Panicking because you’ve been given this newborn baby to take home and you haven’t even got the manual — then realizing how much fun it is learning on the job.
2 Feeling a tiny fist curl around your finger when you touch his palm.
3 Gazing into your baby’s eyes and knowing he trusts you totally.
4 Breathing in the best smell in the world: sleepy baby!
5 Being amazed the first time you wrap him up in his blanket, put him against your shoulder, pat him gently, and, incredibly, the yelling stops!
6 Being the most tired you’ve ever been in your whole life — and the most happy.
7 Sitting up in bed feeding your baby in the middle of the night, and knowing that all over the world other mothers are doing just the same.
8 Watching your partner show his son or daughter off to all the visitors.
9 Finding out, at your prenatal class reunion, that no one gets bored of your birth story, no matter how many times you tell it.
10 Overhearing your partner at a party talking earnestly about the best brand of diaper.
11 Watching your baby’s sleeping face and wondering what the future holds for him.
12 Discovering how lovely the dawn chorus can be!
13 Taking him out for the first time and discovering that everyone wants to stop and talk.
14 Experiencing that amazing feeling of tenderness when your baby falls asleep in your arms.
15 Buying that baby guitar/Buzz Lightyear action figure/Dr. Seuss Special Edition book you always wanted (even though your baby is only one week old).
16 Discovering how infectious a baby’s giggles can be.
17 Having someone to leave the family heirlooms to, even if they’re only some love letters that baby’s father once wrote to you and your lola’s china puppy dog.
18 Exchanging a smile with other stroller-pushing mothers.
19 Dreaming up fantastic food combinations for your baby: avocado and banana, chicken and grapes, or kalabasa and broccoli.
20 Laughing when your baby starts waving at everyone on the bus or in the supermarket.
21 Discovering all the little characteristics that make your baby unique: fat toes, sticking-out ears, hair that sticks up no matter how much it’s brushed.
22 Taking millions of photographs, which you keep meaning to put into an album, but never quite get round to it.
23 Developing a new family language as your toddler talks about scissoring the lawn or asks for a bikkit.
24 Having little pairs of tiny pink Crocs or ballerina flats lined up in the hall and/or Action Man underpants scattered on the floor.
25 Knowing the right things to say and the best way to help when your friends have a baby.
26 Watching lola and lolo (and ninang, ninong, tita, and tito) spoil their little treasure rotten.
27 Joining in tactile toddler pleasures like squeezing playdough in your hands, walking barefoot on the grass, or jumping in puddles.
28 Discovering that he’s inherited your love of music or his dad’s interest in racing cars.
29 or, even better, discovering he has totally different talents, like dancing or painting — where did that come from?
30 Waking up to a sloppy kiss from your toddler.
31 Rediscovering the simple pleasures in life: brightly colored flowers, the softness of a cat’s fur, or the feel of sand between your toes, with your little one.
32 Getting used to being known as Anthony’s mom or Vicky’s dad.
33 Crying when you see a baby born on TV, understanding how mothers feel everywhere from Beijing to Belfast.
34 Discovering the pleasures of three in a bed — even if you and your partner only have a few inches of space while your baby lies sideways across middle.
35 Enjoying the chance to be really silly again — walking around quacking like a duck or sitting at the table wearing a bib and silly hat to encourage your baby to eat.
36 Trying to answer those awkward questions: Do fish sleep? Why is the sky blue? How do cows have babies if they can’t get married?
37 Relishing the moment (and every subsequent ones) when he first says, “I love you, Mommy.”
38 Re-discovering how brilliant children’s books are, even if you do sometimes have to “lose” the one he’s wanted every night for the last three weeks!
39 Having one big bubble bath together: and squabbling over who gets the end with the taps.
40 Running up a quick cat costume out of a piece of string, an egg-box and an eye-liner pencil for a party.
41 Multi-tasking: learning how to mix up a bowl of cake mix with one hand while you stick a Band-aid on a toddler’s knee with the other, breastfeed a baby and phone your mom to ask her what she wants for her birthday.
42 Discovering the world through your toddler’s eyes: seeing him gaze at a caterpillar or stare transfixed on the setting sun.
43 Making a whole new circle of friends, who just happen to be parents, too.
44 Seeing your values: trying to be straight, kind, honest, hard-working and, treating others like you’d like to be treated rub off on him.
45 Enjoying making up with a hug and kiss once a tantrum is over.
46 Going to a Pixar film and no longer being the only unaccompanied adult in the queue!
47 Finding out that bringing up children gives your life a new sense of focus.
48 Crying when you drop him off at playgroup for the first time, then bursting with pride when you pick him up and realize he hasn’t missed you at all.
49 Keeping all his best artwork from playgroup and turning your kitchen into your own National Museum.
50 Hearing your child say “mom” and wondering who that is, then realizing — it’s YOU!
