Oh my God. Match.com is the shiznit! A co-worker told me that one of our bosses’ profile was up on the site and since it was reeking of blackmail potential, I was dying to check it out using my office computer during office hours with the risk of him seeing me gawking at his profile. Unfortunately, I never found it. However, fortunately (or was it unfortunately?), I stumbled upon other gems that were apt for a Halloween post.

Mumu No. 1: “Im a simple kind of person, i dont look much on how people see you in your outside look or even your age …all i need is a gurl who love to be with me anytime and fun to be with…Just try seing me.”

But what he actually meant was: “I love seeing my nipples poke through the sheer material of my black sando. My pastimes include pouring bottled water down my chest, getting high on the smell of pomade, and singing psalms to a photo of Jinggoy Estrada.”

Hey, you! Yes, you! Click here if you’ve got balls!

Nais ko lang ibahagi sa inyo ang mga insights ko tungkol sa isang dokyumentaryong napanood ko. Kamakailan lang ay nabigyan ang aming klase sa FILKOMU (Komunikasyon sa Filipinolohiya) ng pagkakataong makapanood ng dokyumentaryong gawa ng Ibon Foundation na pinamagatang “MISEDUKASYON“. Tinatalakay nito ang mga isyung kinakaharap ng bansa ukol sa kalidad ng edukasyon sa mga paaralan dito sa Pilipinas.

Balikan natin ang panahon ng kolonialismo. Nang dumating ang mga Amerikano, nagsimula sila ng sistemang edukasyon. Lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami noon, may ibang layunin ang mga ito kung kaya’t ipinatupad nila ang sistemang ito. Bukod sa pagbibigay sa atin ng kaalaman, ginamit nila ito bilang instrumento upang tayo ay mapasailalim nila. Sa makatuwid, ipinakita nila ang pagiging makapangyarihan nila upang masakop tayo.

Ang pangyayaring ito ay tila nakapaghatid sa atin ng malaking epekto hanggang sa kasalukuyan. Nagkaroon tayo ng pag-iisip na magagaling ang mga kano, samantalang ang pinoy ay hindi. Mataas ang pagtingin natin sa kanila. Nirerespeto at kinikilala. Kahit nga pinoy na magaling mag ingles o may accent ay iba na ang tingin natin. Susyal, matalino, may kaya.

Sinasabi rin sa dokyu na nagiging komersyalisado na ang edukasyon. Ang kalidad ng edukasyon ay tinitignan na lamang sa halaga ng tuition fee. Kaya kung ikaw ay Atenista o Lasalista, ibig sabihin ay masuwerte ka dahil hindi madaling makapasok sa unibersidad na iyon. Hindi lang utak ang kailangan, pati sapat na salapi. Minsan kahit hindi na sa halaga ng tuition fee tignan, basta may pangalan. Kamakailan lang ay lumabas ang resulta ng World University Rankings na isinagawa ng Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquar elli Symonds (THES-QS). 500 na unibersidad sa buong mundo ang nasa rankings. Apat na unibersidad dito sa Pilipinas ang napabilang sa nasabing rankings. Ang University of the Philippines ay nasa ika-299 na pwesto na sinundan naman ng De La Salle University na nasa ika-392 na pwesto. Nasa bilang 484 naman sa listahan ang Ateneo de Manila University, at umabot sa ika-500 na pwesto ang University of Sto.Tomas.

Ito ay isang malaking factor sa paghahanap ng trabaho dahil prioridad ng mga kumpanya ang mga nagtapos sa “reputable” na eskwelahan. Nagiging hindi patas ang ganitong pananaw sa mga estudyanteng hindi nga nagtapos sa mga sinasabi nilang “reputable” na eskwelahan ngunit may kakayahan naman talaga. Ito ay nagrereflect sa ating lipunan ngayon sapgkat ang daming magulang ang pinipiling patigilin na lamang ang kanilang anak para makapagtrabaho na agad.

Ang sa akin lang, ito ay isang malaking hamon para sa lahat ng estudyante upang pagbutihin ang kanilang pag-aaral. Hindi dapat maging hadlang ang kahirapan para ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pagaaral. Ito ay para na rin hindi ma-balewala ang kanilang potensyal. At para naman sa mga employers, sana magkaroon sila ng bukas na isip sa pagpili ng manggagawa. At para naman sa kinauukulan, nawa’y sikapin nilang maglaan ng sapat na pondo upang masuportahan ang edukasyon ng ating mga kababayang kinakapos.

When I was a kid, I look forward to halloween and all soul’s day. Halloween because of the candies we get during trick or treating and All Soul’s Day because it is our family’s annual reunion in the cemetery.

Growing up on the Philippines, the first of November is a very important day for us. It is a religious holiday (All Saint’s Day). Millions of Filipinos flock to the cemetery to visit their departed friends and family on this day instead of the second of November (which is the actual All Soul’s Day).

We walked by Abercrombie & Fitch and espied a gorgeous man standing inside by the store entrance. Now although this might not sound unusual at all (since everyone knows good looks are an unwritten but universally understood prerequisite to getting a job as a salesperson at any of their stores),this man actually made us stop right in our tracks. He was the usual tall, blonde, tanned, ruggedly handsome sort of fellow you might see ringing up your jeans at A&F — but he was completely shirtless. He wore a fur-lined hoodie jacket and possibly jeans (both our eyes stopped at his impossibly defined six-pack so we really can’t say what he looked like from waist down), and he stood pretty much immobile like he was a mannequin. Which, I suppose, was his raison d’être that day.

I never thought that controlling sebum overproduction is possible. For people who are terribly oily like me, controlling it is such a tortuous ordeal. I used to waste 4-5 sheets of oil blotting paper just to nix the icky grease that’s inundating my entire face! I’ve never been a type of person who always retouches to zap the shine lest the build up will cause me more zits. And speaking of zits–the number one ingredient of it is this 3-lettered-word: OIL.

We had a Halloween dress-up last night at work. The Angels and Demons thingie. I chose to be a devil, though I really wanted to be a witch or a jedi. Hmpft! Oh well, it was a welcome change from the boring routine. I just needed Prada and my get-up would have been complete.

And then there were horns…
