Drunk Korean kicks girl, ends up in jail

Drunk Korean kicks girl, ends up in jail

MANILA, Philippines – For kicking an eight-year-old girl while in a drunken stupor, a Korean man ended up in jail in Ermita, Manila, on Monday night.

Reports from the Manila Police District Women’s and Children’s Protection Desk said the victim sustained bruises on her rear end after Kim Soy Kyu, 40, a tourist staying at the Casablanca Hotel in Ermita, kicked her several times.

Before that, the victim, her mother and three other relatives were eating at the Twin’s Burger Bar and Restaurant at the corner of Adriatico and Salas Streets when Kim, who was drinking with his friends at a nearby table, approached them.

Kim then grabbed the girl’s fork and poked the food on her plate with it.

When the victim complained, the Korean reportedly went into a rage. He kicked the girl several times while shouting, prompting the victim’s mother to seek assistance from a nearby police station.

When asked about the incident, Kim denied he kicked the child although he admitted that he did poke the girl’s food with a fork.

The Korean remains in detention pending the filing of child abuse charges against him.

2.    Malaman natin ang Kasaysayan n gating lahi, ang idealismong Pilipino, an gating pananampalatay at ang ating mga paniniwala, kultura at kaisipang panlipunan noong mga panahong ito.

3.    Masuri natin an gating sariling panitik ayon sa mga magagandang katangiang taglay nito.

4.    Maipakita ang pagbabago ng panitikan sa Pilipinas sa pag alis ng mga Espanol, Amerikano at Hapones.



PANIMULA

Ang tatlong paksang aming iniulat sa klase na Panahon ng Isinauling Kalayaan, Panahon ng Aktibismo at Panahon ng Bagong Lipunan, itinalakay rito ang kagandahan at kapangitan ng nasabing panahon. Ang kasaysayan at panitikan at ang mga naging hadlang sa pag uusbong nito. Naging malaya man ang Pilpino sa kamay ng mga Espanol, Amerikano at Hapon, naging mabigat parin ang suliraning iniwan nila lalo na sa mga digmaan noong panahong yoon.



Panahon ng Isinauling Kalayaan


Natupad ang pangakong pagbabalik ng mga Amerikano sa Pilipinas noong 1945. At sa ika-apat ng Hulyo taong 1946 isinauli ng mga Amerikano ang kalayaan ng mga Pilipino. Sa mga panahong ito, naging balakid ng Pilipinas sa kaniyang pagsasarili ang Ekonomiyang naapektuhan ng digmaan.

Ang Hukbalahap (Hukbong Bayan laban sa Hapon) na binubuo ng mga gerilyang may pagkiling sa komunismo, ay isa pang paman ng digmaan na naging malaking sagabal sa pambansang kaunlarang pang-ekonomiko. Ngunit isa sa pinakamahalagang nagawa ng mga Hukbalahap ay ang pagbigay katarungan sa mga dukha noong panahong ito. Sa panahong ito rin, naging mapangahad sa makukuhang gantimpala ang mga manunulat. Gayun pa man, hindi rin natin tahasang masasabing walang wala nang sinumang nag-tataglay ng pag-ibig sa sining ng panunulat. Naging mga ulirang manunulat na mga Amerikano sina Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck at William Saroyan. Hinangaan ng mga Pilipino ang husay ng istilo ng kanilang pagsusulat

Muling sumigla ang panitik ng mga Pilipino nang panahong ito. Ang halos naging paksa ng mga akda ay tungkol sa kalupitan ng mga Hapones, ang kahirapan ng pamumuhay sa ilalim ng pamamahala ng mga Hapones, ang kabayanihan at iba pa.

Nabuksang muli ang palimbagan ng mga pahayagan at mga magasin tulad ngLiwayway, Bulaklak, Ilang-ilang, Sinag tala at iba pa. Nagkaroon ng laman at hindi salita’t tugma lamang ang mga tulang Tagalog. May mga nobela ring namalasak. Umusbong rin at dinumog ng pulu-pulutong mga tao ang pakikinig sa bigkasan ng tula. Ilan sa mga aklat na nailimbag noong panahong ito ay ang Mga Piling Katha (1947 – 1948) ni Alejandro Abadilla, Manlilikha, Mga Piling Tula ( 1961 – 1967) ni Rogelio G. Mangahas, at Ako’y Isang Tinig (1952) ni Genoveva Edroza Matute.

Noong panahong ito rin muling sumigla ang Panitikan sa wikang Ingles. Isa pang nagpasigla sa mga manunulat natin noong panahong ito ay ang pagkalunsad ng Timpalak-Palanca o “Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature” na pinamumunuan ni Ginoong Carlos Palanca, Sr. noong 1950. Magpahangga ngayon, patuloy parin ang pagbibigay gantimpala.



PANAHON NG AKTIBISMO

Naging mainit ang pamamalasak ng aktibismo ng mga kabataan noong taong 1970 – 72. Ang dahilan ng kanilang pagiging aktibista ay samutsaring paniniwala. Iba’t ibang samahan ang naitatag at nasapian ng ating mga kabataan nang panahong ito. May mga kabataang nabilang sa Bagong Hukbo ng Bayan (New People’s Army), may mga naging “Burgis” radikal o rebelled at mayroon ding mga nanatiling parang mga walang pakialam sa takbo ng pamahalaan. Sa kalahatan, maraming mga kabataan ang naging aktibista upang humingi ng pagbabago sa takbo ng pamahalaan. Maraming akda ang naisulat sa panahong ito, ngunit sa higpit ng pamahalaan noon, ay kakaramput na lamang ang natira ngayon.

Humantong sa pagdedeklara ng Batas Militar o Martial Law noong 1972 ang binhi ng aktibismo. Sa mga panahong ito nauso ang duguang plakard. Ang pag rarali ng mga aktibista at ilan pang taliwas sa gobyerno nang may plakard na kasing pula ng dugo ang ipinangsusulat.

Ang karaniwang paksain at laman ng mga pahayagan at panitikan noong panahong ito ay punong-puno ng damdaming mapaghimagsik. Ang mga dating Aristokratang manunulat ay nagkaroon ng kamulatang panlipunan. Madalas tungkol sa kabulukan ng lipunan at pulitika ang talakay nila noong panahong ito.

Masasabing halos nagtataglay ng tatlong katangian ang mga tulang makata noong panahong ito. Una ay ang pagmamasid at pagsusuri ng kalagayan ng bata;
pangalawa ay ang pagsisiwalat ng mga katiwalian at dayukdok na pagpapasasa ng mga nanunungkulan at ang ikatlo ay ang tahasang masasabing labag sa kagandahang asal na panunungayaw at karahasan sa pananalita. Sa larangan naman ng Nobela at Maiikling Kuwento, payak ngunit makatotohanan ang salitaan o lenggwaheng ginagamit nila. Naging mapangahas ang mga manunulat ng Dula, maiikling kwento at mga nobela noong panahong ito. Nang panahong ding ito ng Aktibismo, nagsimulang napanood ang mga pelikulang malalaswa. Tinawag itong mga Pelikulang Bomba. Isinamantala ng mga may akda ng mga pelikulang ito ang gulo na namamayagpag sa bansa upang gumawa ng mga malalaswang pelikula. Gayundin sa mga komiks na nagsulputan. Na ang karaniwang mga larawan ay walang saplot ang katawan.


Panahon ng Bagong Lipunan


Noong Setyembre 21, 1972 nagsimula ang panahong ng Bagong Lipunan. Luntiang Rebolusyon, Pagpaplano ng Pamila, Wastong Nutrisyon, Drug addiction, Polusyon at iba pa ang karaniwang naging paksain ng panitikan nang panahong ito. Sa panahong ito rin pinagsikapang putulin ang mga malalaswang mga babasahin at pelikula gayundin ang mga akdang nagbibigay ng masamang impluwensiya sa moral ng mga mamamayan.

Nagtatag ang pamahalaan ng military ng bagong kagawaran na tinawag na “Ministri ng Kabatirang Pangmadla” upang siya ang mamahala at sumubaybay sa mga pahayagang, aklat, at mga iba pang babasahing panlipunan.

Muling naibalik ng dating Ginang Imelda Romualdez Marcos ang ating mga sinaunang dula tulad ng Senakulo, Sarsuela, Embayoka ng mga Muslim at iba pa. Ipinatayo niya ang Cultural Center of the Philippines, Folk Arts Theater at maging ang Metropolitan Theater. Naging laganap ang pag-aawit noon sa wikang Pilipino. Malaki rin ang naitulong ng mga lingguhang babasahin tulad ng Kislap, Liwayway at iba pa sa pag uunlad ng Panitikan. Tahasang masasabi na nagningning ang Panitikang Filipino noong panahong ito. Naging paksa rin ng mga tula ang pagkakaisa, tiyaga, pagpapahalaga sa pambansang kultura, ugali, kagandahan ng kapaligiran, at iba pa.

Nagbago ang takbo ng kasaysayan ng awiting Pilipino noong 1975 nang ang mga awiting tulad ng “TL Ako Sa Iyo” ng grupong Cinderella, “The Way We Were” ni Rico J. Puno at iba pa ay nagsilitawan. Ang mga awiting ito ay naging popular sa tawag na Himig-Maynila. Sa kaligirang ito rin ay nadagdagan pa ng ilan pang mang aawit at kompositor ang larangan ng awiting Pilipino.

Sa kabuuang tanaw, masasabing ang sangay ng Panitikang Pilipino na nanaluktok sa Bagong Lipunan ay ang mga Sanaysay, Awit, mga Talumpati at Tula. Walang pinag kaiba ang maikling kwento nang panahong ito sa mga naisulat bago magkaroon ng aktibismo, gayun din naman ang mga nobela at tula.

Guess who came to play for me and my friends on my 18th birthday?

It was MUUUUUUUUUUUSE! Yes, the British rock band, Muse!

Yeaaaahhhhhhhh, it was awesome. They played my favorite song Ruled by Secrecy. $60,000.00 lang naman talent fee nila eh, my parents are amazing. I love Muse, I love Matthew Bellamy's falsetto voice filling the room. It's beautiful. And the melody--just miraculous. My party would've been the party of the year..






If only it didn't had to be a dream. Wenk wenk wenk!

Looking back at 2008

Looking back at 2008

Oh sheeet, i just had the best year ever! I was 16 and 17!
Hehehehe! Join me as i look back at the most memorable experiences I've had last 2008. :)

-Gumradweyt ako ng high school (babay st. pol! pweh!)
-I won a model serch and did a lot of photoshoots, videoshoots etc.
-Met amazing ppl at the coolest parties
-Had so much fun at bigfish events
-I met and fell in love with Trance muzik ;)
-dyed my hair blonde twice
-For this whole year, i grew as a person and got more beautiful inside and out. its so cool!
-I realized the greatest stuff and lived each day to its fullest!

nakakatamad i-enumerate basta marami. :)

Hindi naman ako sobrang makamundong tao. Pero masaya ako.
I mean, I may not drive a Benz right now, but i fucking will someday! Hehehehe hinde.
But no really, if you really want to be happy, i guess you should lower your standards or be satisfied with what you have! Stop worrying too much on how ul get a nice car, pay a condo or win a date with an awesome chick like me. Be grateful with what you have right now, be happy with the littlest things in life, LAUGH uncontrollably and never regret anything you've done! Wanting and expecting too much is too FRUSTRATING. Smile at the person next to you, laugh at the corniest jokes, wag ka mahiya maging jologs (pero wag naman sobra ok?), or what about love? LOVE!

Live! Love! Laugh!

Life is awesome. God is AMAZING. I love being a Chrisitian! YEAH!

Human

Human

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've got to let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

You've got to let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

I Kissed Dating Goodbye

    I'm reading a new book called I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Judging from it's title, it seems like a book that a 17-year-old girl like me WOULDN'T want to read. But hey, it was okay.
    
Are you fed up with the sham and charade of the dating game? Harris understands coz he's been there. I Kissed Dating Goodbye is a best-selling 1997 book by Joshua Harris. His honest and refreshing approach to dating challenges today's dating practices and offers practical, biblical alternatives. Discover how living a life of love, purity, and purposeful singleness can help you build godly, satisfying relationships.

To sum it all up it tells us how a Christian handles a relationship, romance and dating; that every relationship for a Christian is an opportunity to love another person like God has loved us.




Chapter One

So This Is Love?

Beyond What Feels Good, Back to What Is Good

It was finally here-Anna's wedding day, the day she had dreamed about and planned for months. The small, picturesque church was crowded with friends and family.

Sunlight poured through the stained-glass windows, and the gentle music of a string quartet filled the air. Anna walked down the aisle toward David. Joy surged within her. This was the moment for which she had waited so long. He gently took her hand, and they turned toward the altar.

But as the minister began to lead Anna and David through their vows, the unthinkable happened. A girl stood up in the middle of the congregation, walked quietly to the altar, and took David's other hand. Another girl approached and stood next to the first, followed by another. Soon, a chain of six girls stood by him as he repeated his vows to Anna.

Anna felt her lip begin to quiver as tears welled up in her eyes. "Is this some kind of joke?" she whispered to David.

"I'm ... I'm sorry, Anna," he said, staring at the floor.

"Who are these girls, David? What is going on?" she gasped.

"They're girls from my past," he answered sadly. "Anna, they don't mean anything to me now ... but I've given part of my heart to each of them."

"I thought your heart was mine," she said.

"It is, it is," he pleaded. "Everything that's left is yours."

A tear rolled down Anna's cheek. Then she woke up.

Betrayed

Anna told me about her dream in a letter. "When I awoke I felt so betrayed," she wrote. "But then I was struck with these sickening thoughts: How many men could line up next to me on my wedding day? How many times have I given my heart away in short-term relationships? Will I have anything left to give my husband?"

GV sa GK

Bigfish presents Godskitchen---GV, GV, GV! :))
Everything went so well. The crowd was great, i mean RLY. GVing GV sila e. Hahaha. Mejo obvious nga lang yung mga dingbads sa baba, but that's okay. The never heard DJ's i think would suck, didn't. Sobrang GV nung Super8&Tab. GV yung track nilang "Elektro". Made ppl go friggin crazeh. It made me go gaga as well. Parang wala akong naramdaman buong gabi kundi HAPPY, HAPPY and HAPPINESS. The lights this time were great. I've read from DJ Pan's site: Trance is the answer. And well, it pretty much is!
I was enjoyin the night too much that I don't think there'd be any room for kabadtripan or bad vibes.
But not til I was rly sober this afternoon. If ther'd be smthng rly annoying to see in a party, it probably had just got to be seeing the person you like the most kissing some other girl. Parang kahapon lang ako yung mundo mo ah? Hahaha. When the other half moves on and continues his/her life, what happens to the other half? Wala, edi pathetic siya. But that's that. Mega laplap pa eh. But life is a party, so just dance!

So that's just about it.
Good music, good ambience and pinaka impt.--good crowd. GV.

Guy Moquet

I just wanna share an article about Guy Moquet. A young French Communist militant during the German occupation of France during World War II. Moquet quickly came down as one of the emblematic heroes of the French resistance and of the Communist Party, partly because of his youth and partly because of his now-famous final letter.

So okay, eto ung article na nakuha ko sa net. (source:
http://frenchjournal.typepad.com/french_journal/2007/05/guy_moquet.html)


Guy Môquet's letter

Moquet

During his first day in office, President Nicolas Sarkozy stopped at a commemoration of the resistance martyrs of the Bois du Bologne, where a letter by Guy Môquet was read. Môquet, 17 at the time of his death, was not one of the heroes who died in the Bois; instead, he had been executed some years earlier by the Nazis along with other prisoners after being arrested for distributing political tracts. It is his final letter to his family that has won him a place in French history, and in the hearts of French men and women.

The martyrs of the Bois du Bologne were resistance fighters lured to their deaths in the park when an undercover Nazi told them that weapons had been delivered there for them to retrieve.

Many streets in France and a Paris metro station have been named after Môquet.

Sarkozy's first offcial act as President was to recommend to the Ministry of Education that this letter be read aloud at the beginning of each school year in all schools in France.


Here is my rough translation of the letter:


My dear mama, my adored little brother, my much loved papa,

I am going to die! What I ask from you, particularly my dear mama, is that you be brave. I am, and I want to be so as much as those who have passed before me. Certainly, I would have wished to live. But what I wish with all my heart is that my death mean something. I haven't had the chance to embrace Jean (as) I have embraced my brothers Roger and Rino. As for my REAL brother, I can't do it [embrace him], alas! I hope that all my belongings will be sent to you to be used by Serge, whom I expect to wear them proudly some day. To you, papa, if this hurts you as it does mama, I want to pay tribute to you. Know that that I've done my best to follow in the path you have set for me.

A last goodbye to my friends, to my brother whom I love very much. Study hard to be a better man.

Seventeen and a half years, my life has been short, I haven't any regrets, other than leaving you. I am going to death with Tintin, Michels. Mama, what I ask you, what I want you to promise me, is to be brave and get beyond the pain.

I can't write more. I leave you all, you, mama, Serge, papa, holding you in my heart. Courage,

Your loving Guy

Last thoughts: All you who survive, be worthy of us, the 27 who are going to die!

Ma petite maman chérie,
mon tout petit frère adoré,
mon petit papa aimé,

Je vais mourir ! Ce que je vous demande, toi, en particulier ma petite maman, c'est d'être courageuse. Je le suis et je veux l'être autant que ceux qui sont passés avant moi. Certes, j'aurais voulu vivre. Mais ce que je souhaite de tout mon cœur, c'est que ma mort serve à quelque chose. Je n'ai pas eu le temps d'embrasser Jean. J'ai embrassé mes deux frères Roger et Rino. Quant au véritable, je ne peux le faire hélas ! J'espère que toutes mes affaires te seront renvoyées elles pourront servir à Serge, qui je l'escompte sera fier de les porter un jour. A toi petit papa, si je t'ai fait ainsi qu'à ma petite maman, bien des peines, je te salue une dernière fois. Sache que j'ai fait de mon mieux pour suivre la voie que tu m'as tracée.

Un dernier adieu à tous mes amis, à mon frère que j'aime beaucoup. Qu'il étudie bien pour être plus tard un homme.

17 ans et demi, ma vie a été courte, je n'ai aucun regret, si ce n'est de vous quitter tous. Je vais mourir avec Tintin, Michels. Maman, ce que je te demande, ce que je veux que tu me promettes, c'est d'être courageuse et de surmonter ta peine.

Je ne peux en mettre davantage. Je vous quitte tous, toutes, toi maman, Serge, papa, en vous embrassant de tout mon cœur d'enfant. Courage !

Votre Guy qui vous aime

Guy

Nagfrefrenster, nagmamyspace, nagmumultply, nagfeface book ba kayo na chinecheck out ng isang sambadi ang bawat move nyo? YUNG TIPONG ARAW ARAW ARAW ARAW CHINECHECK OUT MGA BGO MONG PICS. COMMENTS. ATBP. ganun! tpos ung tipong pag uwi mo ng bahay guguluhin ka hanggang sa hindi mo na tlaga mapigilan.

scenario:
nanay: anak, alisin mo yung pic mo sa friendster, ang laswa.
anak: hindi malaswa yon, madumi lang utak mo.
nanay: malaswa!
anak: anong malaswa dun e nakalongslibs at naka upo lang?
nanay: malaswa dahil ako nagsabi! nakapokus sya sa baba.
anak: sus, di ko nga napansin man lang e.
nanay: malaswa!
anak: ano ba!?
nanay: TANGGALIN MO YUN!!
anak: bahala ka nga jan. (anak walks out)

kinabukasan....

nanay: anak tanggalin mo na, hindi ako makatulog.
anak: oy grabe ka naman
nanay: alisin mo na ksi bka kung ano pa isipin ng kuya mo sa isteyt.
anak: e ano ngayon, hindi naman talaga malaswa e.
nanay: alisin mo.
anak: it's my friendster, go get ur own nga!
(nag iingles na ang anak dahil napipikon na sa nanay)
nanay: i know but it doesn't glorify our Lord!
anak: ...
nanay: alisin mo na!
anak: Why would I listen to you? Ur the only one who thinks it isn't great. I think it's great, my friends all think it's great.
nanay: hindi maganda, anak maniwala ka saken.
anak: mommy........  (takes a deep breath then walks away sa inis)

Ayoko rin namang iprivate dahil ayaw ko nga. It's not that I'm into stuff that aren't right or legal. Parang they just want me lang to be THIS certain kind of person that's some sort of PERFECT.

Nakakainis grabe. Ilang taon na ba akong ganito. since 1st year high sch.
It's like not being me but being what my mom wants me to be.
She's turning me into someone I ain't. IT'S KILLIN ME! grabe.

sooooooooper bad baybs talaga grabe. lahat nalang tlaga.

EVERYTHING!
