You were born on Friday under Disseminating Moon/Waning Gibbous phase. Disseminating Moon/Waning Gibbous : Since "to disseminate" means to scatter seeds, your impulse is to sow your ideas and knowledge so that others may learn from your experiences ~ you are a communicator and a teacher. Dedicated to your ideals, if there is a touch of the revolutionary in your nature, then it is purely and simply an urge to reform the world. In your zeal to improve other people's lives, however, you may need to find a compromise and learn how to reconcile your own vision with the needs of others. Your early fifties should bring a sense of achievement and contentment to your life.

Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen
| Rating: | ★★★★★ |
| Category: | Movies |
| Genre: | Science Fiction & Fantasy |
In
In 17,000 BC, ancient Transformers called the Dynasty of Primes scoured the universe with the intention of draining the energy from stars to create Energon and power the AllSpark, the life source of the Transformers, using a machine called a Sun Harvester. The Primes agreed that life-bearing worlds would be spared, but one of their own betrayed the others and constructed a Sun Harvester on Earth. Unable to beat their brother, the Dynasty sacrificed their bodies in order to hide the Matrix of Leadership, the key used to power the Sun Harvester. The treacherous Prime was dubbed the Fallen, and vowed to seek revenge upon Earth.
In present day, set two years after the events of the first film, Optimus Prime leads NEST, a military organization consisting of American and British troops and his own team of Autobots, which includes newcomers Arcee, Sideswipe, Jolt, and the twins Skids and Mudflap. NEST ventures into Shanghai, China. Sideswipe chases and kills Decepticon Sideways. Then before getting killed by Optimus, Demolishor, one of the Decepticons, declares that "the Fallen shall rise again."
Sam Witwicky heads off to college to continue a normal life, leaving behind his Autobot guardian Bumblebee and his girlfriend Mikaela Banes. He finds a piece of the Allspark, which he gives to Mikaela for safekeeping. Wheelie attempts to steal the shard but is captured by Mikaela. Sam meets his college roommate, Leo Spitz, who runs an alien conspiracy website. He also meets Alice, who makes aggressive advances towards him.
Soundwave, a Decepticon intelligence officer, hacks into a satellite to eavesdrop on the NEST forces, learning the location of the dead Decepticon leader Megatron and another piece of the AllSpark. He deploys Ravage to retrieve the shard, which is then used to resurrect Megatron. Megatron flies through space to a Decepticon spacecraft, where he is reunited with Starscream and his master, the Fallen. The Fallen instructs Megatron to capture Sam, as his mind now contains the Allspark's knowledge, including the location of the Sun Harvester. Sam has a mental breakdown in his astronomy class, writing Cybertronian symbols on the chalkboard. Mikaela comes to his aid just as Alice attacks, revealed to be a Decepticon Pretender, a Transformer in a human guise. Sam, Mikaela and Leo drive off, running over Alice in the process, but are then captured by Grindor. Scalpel, a Decepticon doctor, prepares to remove Sam's brain, but Optimus and Bumblebee appear and rescue him. In the following battle, Optimus takes on the Decepticons on his own, killing Grindor, however, he is ultimately killed himself, stabbed from behind by Megatron.
Megatron orders a full-scale assault on the planet. The Fallen speaks to the world and advises them to surrender Sam to the Decepticons or they'll continue their attack. Sam's parents are captured by Rampage. Sam, Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee, the Twins and Wheelie regroup, Leo believing his online rival "RoboWarrior" may be of assistance. The man is revealed to be former Sector Seven agent Simmons. Simmons reveals his hidden alien archive and explains that the Transformers have visited Earth before, as their language is written on ruins all over the world. Wheelie identifies the language as that of the Primes but only a Seeker can translate it; Seekers being used by the Primes to locate suitable stars for harvesting. They find such a Seeker, an aging Decepticon named Jetfire, who defected to the Autobots.
Upon learning the situation, Jetfire teleports the group to Egypt via a space bridge and explains that the tomb of the Primes is located in the surrounding desert, and only a Prime can kill the Fallen. By following the clues, the group find the Matrix in a tomb in Petra, but it crumbles to dust in Sam's hands. Believing the Matrix can still revive Optimus, Sam collects the dust and instructs Simmons to telephone Major William Lennox to bring the other Autobots and Optimus' body.
The military arrives in short order, but are tracked by the Decepticons, resulting in an intense battle. During the battle, Bumblebee rescues Sam's parents from Rampage, killing both him and Ravage in the process. Devastator is then formed and unearths the Sun Harvester in one of Egypt's pyramids before being blown to pieces by a railgun fired from a nearby destroyer. The airforce carpet bombs the Decepticons. Megatron gets thru the carpet bombing and killls Sam. In a vision, Sam meets with the other Primes, who tell him that the Matrix of Leadership must be earned, which Sam has done. Sam is brought back to life and the Matrix reforms from the dust. Sam uses it to revive Optimus, but the Fallen, with aid from Megatron, steals it shortly thereafter to activate the Sun Harvester. Jetfire, having been mortally wounded by Scorponok, gives up his life and parts to give Optimus the strength he needs to defeat the Fallen. Optimus destroys the Sun Harvester and then fights both Megatron and the Fallen, destroying the Fallen and leaving Megatron heavily wounded. Starscream convinces Megatron to retreat.
The film concludes with Optimus stating that the Transformers and humans are now connected by their histories and Sam returning to college.
There is a field of study called "Redology." its sole purpose in this world is the study of the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber," one of the Four Classics of China. Amazing.

Huwag buhayin ang patay (Mong's speech at a forum in DLSU- College of St. Benilde, June 22, 2009)
May natatandaan akong pelikula ni Jestoni Alarcon at Charito Solis na ipinalabas sa takilya noong 1989. Grade 3 ako noon. Ang pamagat: Huwag Mong Buhayin ang Bangkay. Sa sobrang pagmamahal ng ina sa kanyang namatay na anak, lumapit siya sa itim na kapangyarihan upang buhayin ang bangkay. Ang nangyari: nabuhay nga ang anak pero isa na siyang zombie. Zombie na naghahasik ng lagim sa kanyang paligid.
Eto ang ginawa natin sa Con-Ass. Binuhay natin ang patay. Mag-ingat tayo sa bangkay na ating binuhay; tiyak itong magdadala ng kamalasan sa ating bansa.
Ilang beses nang pinatay at binuhay ang Con-Ass. Una, binawi ni Rep. Luis Villafuerte, principal sponsor ng Con-Ass, ang kanyang lagda sa Con-ass. Sa kabila nito, sinulong pa rin ng mga PALAKA (Partido Lakas-Kampi) ang Con-Ass sa committee level. Pinagbotohan sa committee kung ihahapag na ba sa plenary ang Con-Ass kahit wala pang sapat na debate. Nagwalk-out ang minority; tinuloy ang botohan; pero natalo pa rin ang mga pro Con-Ass. Ito ang pangalawang kamatayan ng Con-Ass.
Pero pagkatapos ng isang lingo binuhay ulit nila ang Con-Ass. Nag-imbita kami ng mga respetadong iskolar tulad ni Fr. Joaquin Bernas upang magbigay ng liwanag kung ano ba ang tamang paraan para baguhin ang Konstitusyon. Mahigit tatlong oras kaming nakinig sa mga iskolar; lahat sila nagsasabing kailangang bumoto ng hiwalay ang dalawang kamara. Ibig sabihin hindi pwedeng lumipad ang Cha-Cha o Con-Ass ng walang partisipasyon ng Senado. Ilan sa mga miyembro ng Kongreso ay nagsalita sa committee hearing. Ang sabi nila estudyante raw sila ni Fr. Bernas; sila raw ay nag-aral noon sa Ateneo. Ilang minuto (uulitin ko, ilang minuto) pag-alis ni Fr. Bernas, nagbotohan ulit. Inaprub ang Con-Ass. Binuhay ulit ang Con-Ass. Parang hindi sila nakinig kina Fr. Bernas.
Hindi rito nagtatapos ang kuwento. Namatay ulit ang Con-Ass. Binalik ng Committee on Rules ang HR 1109 sa mother committee. Ang implikasyon nito ay hindi na malalagay sa adyenda ng plenary ang Con-Ass. Akala namin ito na ang katapusan ng buhay ng Con-Ass kasi malapit nang magtapos ang session ng Kongreso. Aba, bigla kaming nagulat dahil noong Hunyo 2, nagkaroon ng caucus ang majority at nagdesisyon sila na isusulong na nila ang pagboto sa Con-Ass sa plenary level. Ang bangkay ay muling binuhay.
Hapon ng Hunyo 2. Biglang dami ng mga pumasok sa Kongreso. Yung iba unang beses kong nakita sa loob ng Kamara. Tapos ang pagkain sa lounge ay sapat-sapat hanggang hatinggabi. Mukhang nakahanda silang magpuyatan para ipasa ang Con-Ass.
Natatawa kami sa minority habang nakikinig kami sa sponsorship speeches. Iba-iba kasi ang sinasabi ng mga sponsor. Bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang bersiyon kung ano ang balak nilang gawin sa Con-Ass. Kahit sila hindi nagkakaisa sa interpretasyon kung ano ang tamang paraan upang matuloy ang Cha-Cha.
Napanood natin kung ano ang nangyari noong gabi ng Hunyo 2. Nanalo ang mga pro Con-Ass. Pero hindi natin nakita ang kanilang mga mukha dahil ang ipinasa ng Kongreso ay simpleng House Resolution lamang; ibig sabihin hindi kailangang tumayo ang bawat miyembro ng Kongreso upang ipaliwanag ang kanilang boto.
Ngayon, buhay ulit ang Con-Ass. Papatayin ito sa Senado. Bubuhayin kaya ito ng Supreme Court? Kung pagbabatayan ang opinyon ng publiko, mayorya ng ating mamamayan ay tutol sa Con-Ass at Cha-Cha. Kailangan nating wakasan, tuldukan na ang buhay ng Con-Ass. Paano?
Dapat daanin natin sa sindak ang mga miyembro ng Kongreso. Huwag nating payagang umabot pa sa Korte ang labanan. Ngayon pa lamang ay iparinig natin ang ating boses, ang ating matinding pagtutol sa Con-Ass. Ipakita natin sa Malakanyang ang ating malakas na oposisyon sa Con-Ass.
Nauuso ngayon ang virtual activism. Isa ako sa mga nagsusulong nito. Sige gamitin natin ang texting, blog, facebook, twitter at plurk para ikampanya ang pagbabasura ng Con-Ass. Paramihin ang bilang ng mga pumipirma sa ating mga online petition. Pero kilalanin natin ang limitasyon ng mga ito. Una, hindi lahat ng masa ay maabot nito. Pangalawa, hindi lahat ng pulitiko ay mahilig bumisita sa cyberspace. Yung marami hindi nagbabasa ng mga blog.
Hindi uubra na magpatali tayo sa mga cute na aksiyon; kailangang dambuhala, kailangang dumadagundong, kailangang rumaragasang mga pagkilos ang gawin natin para masindak ang mga miyembro ng Kongreso. Kailangan nilang maramdaman ang ating presensiya. Magplano ng mga lokal na pagkilos. Pumunta sa opisina ng mga mambabatas. Kausapin sila.
Nagawa na natin ito noon. Noong 1997 may balak ding Cha-Cha ang administrasyong Ramos. Sophomore ako noon sa kolehiyo. Malawak din ang pagtutol ng mamamayan sa Cha-Cha. Ano ang ginawa natin? Nagrali tayo sa Luneta. Pinuno natin ang Luneta. Pinarinig natin hanggang Malakanyang, hanggang Batasan, ang ating galit. Kailan tayo pupunta ng Luneta?
May mga hamon tayong kakaharapin. Una, seryosong balakid ang swine flu. Paano tayo magkakapit-bisig eh simpleng paghahawak lang ng kamay sa simbahan ay mukhang ingat na ingat tayong gawin. Paano tayo magpapalakas sa mga kampus kung palaging suspended ang mga klase?
Pangalawa, huwag nating maliitin ang pwedeng gawin ni Pangulong Arroyo. Nagawa niyang manalo noong halalang 2004. Hindi siya mapatalsik sa Malakanyang sa kabila ng mga Hello Garci scandal, fertilizer scam, extrajudicial killing, at marami pang mga kaso.
Ito ay mga balakid pero hindi ibig sabihin imposible tayong magwagi. May hangganan din ang pasensiya ng ating mga kababayan. Kaya pa natin ilunsad ang mas malaki, mas malawak, mas epektibong porma ng People Power sa hinaharap. Sabi nga sa Koreanovelang Boys over Flowers, (we should keep on) Fighting!
Para sa mga nagdadalawang isip, eto ang ilang mga katanungan:
-Gusto ninyo bang tawaging Prime Minister si Gng. Arroyo sa June 30, 2010?
-Gusto ninyo bang maging Prime Minister for life si Gng. Arroyo? Tandaan natin, bata pa siya.
-Payag ba kayong alisin ang term limits para sa mga miyembro ng Kongreso?
-Hahayaan ba nating magmay-ari ang mga banyaga ng mga lupain at korporasyon sa ating bansa? Eh samantalang sa ibang bansa, kahit sa Estados Unidos at Europa, nagiging uso ulit ngayon ang konsepto ng economic nationalization.
May planong martsa ang mga pwersang anti Con-Ass sa June 30? Dadaan ito sa harap ng inyong kampus sa hapon. Sana sumama tayo sa pagkilos na ito. Isuot ang facemask, magdala ng alcohol, bitbit ang mga placard at streamer, sabay-sabay nating labanan ang Con-Ass ni Gloria.

Weird...
Maybe, for some reasons some dormers who stay in rooms overlooking the LRT-2 railways have been throwing their garbage at the tracks. Oh well, in that specific dormitory building x, each of these have been posted on the room doors:
"Throwing your garbage at the LRT Railways is strictly prohibited...blah blah blah..."
Well, once I saw it, I get the picture. I cannot be totally sure. But if my deductions are true, I don't know see any logic working on the idea that you have to throw your garbage at the railways...I believe that in that dormitory, there are trash bins reliable enough for the residents to throw theirs in and there is no need for them to scatter and dirty the railways with it.
Probably, trip lang.
Parang pagdidikit ng bubble gum sa ilalim ng arm chair kahit break time naman at walang teacher na pipigil sa paglalakad mo papunta sa sulok na may basurahan.
Sheer problem concerning discipline and culture... You know...
***
Masaya magcommute.
Knowing MRT and LRT routes are sisiw.
Actually there are faster and less-time consuming ways to get to places without the use of these things.
After college, I did not move out. So i have been living in the same place for years already. That includes not staying with my parents, and looking after myself.
Staying in the city for so long, I've known tons and tons of jeepney routes like guadalupe-paco and perdigon-nagtahan. Where they pass through and where'd they take you; say when you ride the Paco Jeep, you get off paco and get to makati by riding the guadalupe jeep.. I knew main roads: Quirino, Aurora, R Magsaysay... Nagtahan connects quirino and r magsaysay, and if you'd go beyond R Magsaysay from Nagtahan, you'll get straight to Lacson... minor roads, even eskinitas like Dominga and the one parallel to Legards, that connects Mendiola to Baste... Fly overs along edsa, how to get to NLEX or SLEX... Damn I forgot to say that I used to see SLEX in a daily basis back in my High School and Grade School days..
I love commuting...
And I would also love to drive, and discover easier shortcuts to help me navigate through this city. And the countryside. :)

Mas una ko itong nakilala. Since my freshman days in college, I've been reading this site already. I love the way it catches angles of various issues that the nation confronts, even the trivial.
A very insightful treat.

For some reasons, Pinoy Weekly, the most reliable weekly tabloid (probably more reliable than the broadsheets) in the country, ceased to release in print. However, the spirit of pro-people journalism that is genuine, critical and patriotic continues to live on in the web (hehe) and in the hearts of every Filipino, can read or not. :P
