Why yes…. Yes we do.

I wonder if his nose will stay short and stubby when she grows up…

Salt

Early this morning, I was trying to remember that word pun about ‘salt’ that I heard before. I have this obsession with useless/trivial things (probably because of how my existentialist brain process my sensory world) I encounter during a not-so-normal day. The object of my trivial obsession: Salt. (Not Evelyn Salt who is still working to flush out the other remaining sleeper agents in the US)

Why, you may ask?

I had a major tooth extraction last Saturday (another post altogether) and I’m trying to keep it clean with saline mouthwash. (The salt shaker is staring back at me right at this very moment)

Not Evelyn Salt

While searching for this particular ‘salt’ pun here, this short story catched my eyes.

A small piece of sodium that lived in a test tube fell in love with a Bunsen burner. “Oh Bunsen, my flame,” the sodium pined. “I melt whenever I see you,” The Bunsen burner replied, “It’s just a phase you’re going through.”

So here’s the word pun joke I was trying so hard to remember:

Q: What happened to the man who was stopped for having sodium chloride and a nine-volt in his car?
A: He was booked for a salt and battery.

Badabing!

Thus ends my quest for that one elusive ‘salt’ pun. I should have asked earlier but…

Q: Does anyone know any jokes about sodium?
A: Na

Badabing!

Tulad ng Dati

I’m back with an LSS!

Tulad ng Dati – The Dawn
 
Wala na akong makita sa iyong mga mata
Dati rati’y isang tingin mo lang alam ko na
Bakit ngayon ika’y nababalot sa kulay ng hatinggabi
Nagtatanong, nangangarap na ika’y mag isang muli
 
Kung may bagyo o kung tag-araw
Sa iyong damdamin

Sana ay makilala kang muli, tulad ng dati
Halika at lumapit kang muli, tulad ng dati

Wala na akong maramdaman sa iyong mga kamay
Dati rati’y isang hawak ko lang, alam ko na
Alam ko na

Kung may bagyo o kung tag-araw
Sa iyong damdamin

Sana ay makilala kang muli, tulad ng dati
Halika at lumapit kang muli, tulad ng dati
 
Kung may bagyo o kung tag-araw
Sa iyong damdamin
 
Sana ay makilala kang muli, tulad ng dati
Halika at lumapit kang muli, tulad ng dati
Sana ay makilala kang muli, tulad ng dati
Halika at lumapit kang muli, tulad ng dati
 
Tulad ng dati…

Match of the Millenium: Bactat vs. Roberto

• Who: Bactat, Barbon, Lagamon, Roberto
• What: Greatest Sports Event of the Century
• When: April 20, 2012
• Where: Club 650, Libis, Quezon City
• Why: Sports buff, rematch ‘pustahang Bagang sa Bagang (loser loses gum/teeth ;D)

-+-

I was invited by Bactat for a Badminton/Table Tennis match this Saturday at the Amoranto stadium but unfortunately, I will be out-of-town (company team outing). Not satisfied with a ‘no, I’m not available’ answer and wanting to match skills with me, he scheduled a match this Friday.

Unlike the current Mayweather vs. Pacquiao’s infinitely-postponed match where one side (in particular) seems to always have an excuse not to set the title fight in stone, I accepted the challenge. Despite being disadvantaged with stress from the Friday work before the match, no Olympic style drug-testing, late night match and I also need to pack up my things for the outing the next day. But no excuses for me. A match is a match is a match and the match must go on.

This will be the Badminton/Table Tennis equivalent of the famed ‘Thrilla in Manila’ between Ali and Frazier. Some might likened me to Frazier since I will donate one of my legendary Badminton Racquet for this match.

-+-

So set the date and get ready for an epic sports event this Friday at Club 650 in Libis, Quezon City!

Cheers!

Silly Love Songs

For two straight days now, I’ve been bothered by this LSS from SM Department Store. For most part, I can’t discern the lyrics because of the hustle and bustle of a typical department store and the occasional PA interruption. The only discernible part of the song is the chorus with its repeating ‘i love you’ making it hard to Google it.

But alas! I recorded a snippet of the stanza verse and I finally tracked the title down! *beaming with pride.

Silly Love Songs – Paul McCartney and Wings

You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn’t so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.

And what’s wrong with that?
Id like to know, cause here I go again

I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you,

I can’t explain the feelings plain to me, say can’t you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can’t you see,

What’s wrong with that
I need to know, cause here I go again

I love you, I love you

Love doesn’t come in a minute,
Sometimes it doesn’t come at all
I only know that when I’m in it
It isn’t silly, no, it isn’t silly, love isn’t silly at all.

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)
How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)
[repeat and fade]

I’m not sure if this is the original music video but this will do.

I’ll ‘listen’ this song to death or until a new LSS comes along to knock it out of my head.

Until then, cheers!

Reblog from Filipino Free Thinkers: Blasphemy on the Cross

Original post from Filipino Free Thinkers here. To be honest, I don’t agree with the author creating a conversation using Jesus as one of the characters but that particular post was straight on with the points he wanted to convey. I just hoped he used a different writing style so it will not be offensive (again) to other people since they probably can’t imagine Jesus talking so casually with an ordinary human.

-+-

There was so much furor here in the Philippine online community and our ‘sensationalist’ mass media about pictures posted in Facebook taken during this year’s Holy Week. See pic in posted link up there.

I bit of a disclaimer: I am a Roman Catholic but I have a broad mind too. I attend service every Sunday when possible and try to listen to the sermon with an understanding Point of View. Now on to the topic.

I don’t support both sides as both of them were wrong in the first place. The girl was wrong for her inconsiderate act. But the people condemning her was wrong as well. They kept on calling her names and asking for her to be stoned and anything to that effect. But if they had just kept their cool and re-read the Bible where in Jesus told the people “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” The girl clearly sinned by offending the faith of others. But they should have kept themselves from sinning, by not judging her. Let God punish her for her sins. We as sinful people doesn’t have the right to punish and condemn her since only God have that right.

-+-

On a related note: I was able to read this blog that questions the attitude and beliefs of those who take offense in behalf of God.

We believe in an Omnipotent (All-Powerful), Omnibenevolent (All-Good or All-Benevolence), Omnipresent (Always with us) and Omniscient (All-Knowing) God.  We cannot and should not attribute human qualities to God like taking offense since it is a basic human emotion. God had given us free will and it is our actions that will be judge by Him and only Him. So we should not take offense in His behalf for crimes and disrespectful actions or our fellow human beings. Let Him take His own course of action that is deemed right in His Eyes.

If we are offended by such disrespectful actions then we have the all the right to feel offended, since we are humans. We have human emotions. We are petty and we are not above anyone else. We can be angry and offended by another human being’s action not for God but for ourselves. But keep in mind that being Christians, we should not keep those emotions in our hearts. We should transcend these to become beings of higher purpose.

-+-

One of my hopes and dreams is that people will have broader mindsets about their life. Hopefully, we can make the world a better place without the hate and condemnation for others.

Remember that religion is there not to make lives worse for everyone but to make it better.
