It just hit me — at this very moment — that if you’re searching for your genuine self, it helps to have someone close to you around. Preferably someone who really gets you.

I suppose that seems counterintuitive; it makes more sense perhaps to find oneself while one is alone. But I find that who I am isn’t what I am like apart from everyone else. In fact, it’s easy to be decent or noble, maybe even almost perfect, when no one else is around — when there’s no one to challenge or annoy me or especially push all my wrong buttons.

The day the Catholic Church almost died - continuation:

The native Filipino clergy led by Fathers Gregorio Aglipay, Isidoro Perez, Panciano Manuel, Jose Evangelista, and Adriano Garces, actively agitated for the expulsion of the friars from the parishes and their replacement by secular priests. However, Archbishop Bernardino Nozaleda, the titular head of the Philippine Roman Catholic church supported the friars and kept them in the parishes with the approval of the Pope.

Archbishop Nozaleda was a bloodthirsty defender of the faith. When the 1896 revolution broke out, he demanded that the Spanish authorities exterminate the Filipino rebels by “fire, sword, and wholesale executions” (Laubach, 106) . But Governor General Blanco did not wish at that moment to infuriate the Filipinos by drastic punishment. For his defiance of Nozaleda’s demands, Blanco was replaced by Polavieja through the intercession of the archbishop.

Archbishop Nozaleda’s bloodthirsty inclination was publicly revealed in his major role in the incarceration and eventual execution of Dr. Jose Rizal. While in prison, Rizal was quoted as saying that if Archbishop Nozaleda’s sane view had been taken and Noli Me Tangere not preached against, he would not have been in prison, and perhaps the rebellion would never have occurred. (Craig, 239)

Only 17 blogs were consistently among the Top 50 on Pinoy Top Blogs (PTB) during the 13-month period from June 2006 to June 2007. Most of the 17 blogs declined in rank during that time and are now, on average, 7 ranks lower than the previous year. This, however, occurred even as the average unique hits (UH) for the 17 blogs increased by 24 percent. Perhaps the best example of what these figures mean can be seen in what happened to EntrePinoys Atbp, whose UH actually went up by 60 percent, but whose ranking went down from 28 to 34. More…

Makaraan ang isang linggo magmula ng binili ko ang libro sa Target, tinapos ko na sya basahin kahapon ng umaga habang tulog pa si Bossing. Linggo ko binili ang libro pero Miyerkoles ko na sya sinimulan. Bakit ang tagal? Parang bigla kasi na-sad ako, parang nagdalawang-isip at sinabi ko sa sarili kong, “Gusto ko ba syang talagang basahin???”

Now that Ingmar Bergman is dead, I am all the more grateful that those Chinese DVD pirates didn’t restrict their bootlegging to the usual suspects, i.e., Van Damme, Stallone and Mel Gibson, but included in their booty much of the world’s best cinema, including Mr. Bergman’s films. Except for the 5-disc Criterion Collection edition of “Fanny and Alexander” which I burned from an original copy, the other 12 Bergman titles I have are all courtesy of Makati Cinema Square…

I remember when Sixter shoved me her copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and commanded me to read it. Yeah, my older siblings (and there are five of them) do enjoy bullying me around. Like an obedient baby sister, I complied meekly. But from the moment when I read

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you verry much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.

(those were the first words of the first chapter), I was mesmerized and read the entire book from cover to cover so fast and so furiously that I hardly understood half of what I read. Sure, I get it that Voldemort was under Quirrel’s turban and Harry was victorious in retrieving the Sorcerer’s stone with a little help from his friends… but I missed a lot of the action… the excellent game of wizard chess Ron played, how Harry retrieved Neville’s remembrall, and so on.

So right after I finished the book, I immediately reread it… much slower this time… relishing Dumbledore’s few but absolutely delightful lines, imagined Hogwarts and its secret passages and magical paintings more vividly, and experienced blow-by-blow the action in the Quidditch games.

It was the same in every Harry Potter book after that. I was always too impatient to know if it was Malfoy who was Slytherin’s heir in The Chamber of Secrets, why Sirius Black wanted to attack Harry (but he did not) in The Prisoner of Azkaban, who would emerge victorious in the Triwizard Tournament in the Goblet of Fire, what was hidden in the Department of Mysteries in The Order of the Phoenix and what was the task assigned to Malfoy and who was the half-blood Prince in The Half-Blood Prince.
