T'was my only godson's birthday last May 10 and was celebrated last May 12. I thought there might have a mini reunion among the Brodbeck but to our (Lyo, Val and me) surprise only drizzle, excel and aiza were there with john mark. Well, it was nice to be with them once again.
Then we couldn't recognize our godson anymore! He's grown big since the last time we saw him. Oh well, that was 2 years ago. heheh and his godparents didn't change that much. Still Brodbeck in nature: came at the party late for about 2 hours and gave him unwrapped gift and just added extra cash on it. So how is that? tsk tsk if only JB could say "grow up!"
I came home in the evening already and hasn't slept yet. I first went to Mishall's house to attend at the fiesta before going to the birthday.heheh So no wonder why I am at this state now. Been really feeling bad since Sunday. Couldn't get rid of this cough, grrrrrr! To add up to that, I was not able to vote! double grrrrr! My name wasn't in the list. They said it could have been transferred to the other school which is miles away. They didn't even bother to give me a notice. Why? Because they have sensed that I'm not going to vote for them? Duh Makes me want to ever vote no more.
I'm broke, sick, sober,disappointed and alone so help me God!
hee hee hee
The first time I saw this newly-painted church at my hometown, Roxas City, I was, hmm. .shocked(?) to see the color. I think this is just the first time I saw a Roman Catholic Church in this color and structure. I don't know what to say first. But I really found it destructing that I even have to put it here in my blog.
But when I came back and took this picture, well, it looked clean though despite its color. The church is now being renovated. I don't know if this is somehow connected to the election season. With the past history of snakes coming out from the ceiling of the church, I daresay it badly needs renovation.
So far, this is the most sensible, not to mention rocking, ad for an election candidate I have ever seen. The candidate didn't exert much effort to show off himself. He just appeared to be the real him. No words were heard from him, didn't enumerated what he has done, nor danced with the masses, just there, and his message has been clearly conveyed to the public.
Chiz is really on top of my list among the senatorial candidates for the 2007 elections. I'm glad that he came up with a sensible ad and didn't used names like 'tol. Aside from his physical features--which resembles much like Bamboo--he proves to be a smart individual and handles situations calmly. Although he is with the opposition party, I don't see him having the same character with his partymates. He seems to have his own ideas and is not influenced by the people around him. Unlike other candidates wherein their fame are used by other people to access power in the government.Here's more of chiz. .
Profile CHIZ
Francis Joseph Guevarra Escudero or Chiz was raised by parents who were both educators. His father, Salvador H. Escudero III, served as Department of Agriculture secretary during the Marcos and Ramos administrations.He earned his bachelor's degree in political science and in law at the University of the Philippines. He later went to Georgetown University Law Center in Washington for his master’s degree in international and comparative law.
He served his first term in the 11th Congress in 1998 and Assistant Majority Floor Leader and Senior Deputy Majority Leader in the 12th Congress in 2001 and in the present 13th Congress as House Minority Floor Leader.
Cool and confident, quick with his words, and unwavering in his commitments and conviction, Chiz at 37, is in his prime. If his political mentors rewarded him with a smile and a pat on the back for what he accomplished as a boy of 28, they now regard him with respect and value his professional advice.

Ang inyong boses sa Senado, Chiz Escudero

One of the songs covered by Bamboo in their 3rd album, We Stand Alone Together is Tatsulok, originally by Buklod. There's nothing really much of a difference between Bamboo's version from Buklod. Bamboo just enhanced the song rocking it with their instruments and his signature voice making it more powerful and inspiring.
When I first heard the song I said it was a bit of a leftist in nature. When I heard the original version, I remembered my org in college, LFS. These kinds of songs are being played by the org and yes it is patriotic in nature.
Some says that this song is just in time for the elections 2007, that there might be political motives behind this. But the only message that the band wants to reach out for the Filipinos, cliche as it may sound, is to Vote Wisely! Yeah, vote wisely folks! This is an opportunity for us to make a move in reversing the "tatsulok."
Here's the two versions of the song from Buklod and Bamboo:
