Time

-


We feel old when we ride with time, it wearies the body and the spirit. Time is constantly altering itself in relation to the expanse other than terrestrial space;  it deceives, it controls; more than ever it runs faster and shorter to the point that we can no longer see what is there to see; it leads us to the blindest of spot; always, it renders us into the realm of false urgency; to the fiat of constant inadequacy. Time is a unit of measure, and to measure is to divide and limit, and to limit is to restrict creativity and to set in definition the human possibility. Hence, I find time to be an inconsistency to that vastness and infinity called the universe. After all, what is time?  Is it a means to assign man his own little space? Like in a cage, he is confined to the make believe, that he cannot achieve functionality beyond that space called time. I have discovered that time does not serve man but to his constriction. It leads him to a constant state of chaotic circles, then into confusion. I have to get off from this ride called time. I now refuse to be bounded by time. Thus, I am inclined to rather use the three parts of my forsaken brain in lieu of that space called time, and by the hand of the Almighty is the hope to see beyond the edge and be free. Yes, I am now a rebel against time, and ultimately will divorce myself from it to take a new ride. To the ride that is always there… hidden in the plainest of sight; to that ride called the… “Human  MIND”.

Why Russia’s BMP3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is the best option for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Any avenue of approach in a war zone is a kill zone, be it an urban pave-ways or rural settings. The AFP have been sustaining unusually high casualties, resultant of inadequate armor and fire support. Individual infantry men were fully exposed while in marches on unfamiliar terrain towards the insurgent’s lair. Military vehicles have to traverse enemy territories without the security of protective armor (metal plates, chopped tree-trunks mounted on side of vehicles, sand bags, etc.).  Corollary, essential intelligence can easily be obtained in advance through aerial reconnaissance even before convoys proceed towards its destination. While the latter can be provided by available and inexpensive technology like drones, its utilization had remained an exception rather than the rule. Insurgent’s stationery bunkers/ fortifications greatly offset the AFP’s numerical advantage, that otherwise can easily be eliminated by an explosive blast. Sniper behind hard cover, like the inside of bui...

The Black Nazarene

  The bible regarded the veneration of images and statue as idolatry. It has been said that it separate man from GOD. But why did the Catholic church initiate and administer processions of images? Even more, each has its own assigned day for feasting, celebration and procession. Is the catholic church polytheistic and hence in the practice of paganism? Why would tens of millions converged every January 9 to celebrate the feast of the Black Nazarene   barefooted and unmindful of rain or scorching heat? Why would thousands upon thousands amid risk of injury or death would forcefully hurled themselves into the disarray of humanity just to have a shot at no more than 50 feet of rope that connects to a “carossa”, that carried the image of the Black Nazarene? Were those multitudes of Catholics merely ignorant, or shamelessly, defiant of Gods resentment of paganism and idolatry? Do they have a collective reason for the displayed spontaneity? Were  they manifesting a personal...

Transcending Filipinism

-

The term Filipinism by itself is Filipinism. It is uncommon in usage internationally, but somehow it made its way to world dictionaries and may refer to usage resulting from literally translating Tagalog words into English. These are English usage peculiar to and used only by Filipinos. Turn on/ off the lights is spoken as Open/ Close the lights; CR or Comfort Rooms are used instead of Toilets (The word “Toilet” has sensibility issue and considered unhygienic); Napkins are referred to as Tissue; Canteen is used instead of Cafeteria; Colgate means Toothpaste even though it’s a Close-Up; Refrigerator is generally called Frigidaire: Xerox is to photocopy even if the machines in use are UBIX, Brothers, etc. The preceding examples demonstrate that Filipinism is beyond lingual.  It is about tradition, customary practice and generally accepted norms that manifest in  language and its usage. Filipinism is also expressions in actions like; the” boodle fight” to celebrate broth...
