Violence in Maguindanao

The massacre in Maguindanao was violent. Whoever did this is inhuman and is not sane. Why did it happened? The one who was responsible for this heartless action wants to inflict fear because the guilty party is also afraid. Afraid that for losing control and authority for the citizens there treated as subordinated. Though we are democratic, we are still fearful of the abuse of power by these kind of people. Since we were products of martial law, people with authority will repeat history no matter how big jurisdiction the person has with the position he/she carries. People with authority have tendencies not knowing how leadership is different from dictatorship and their only defense mechanism was a gangster mafia maneuver that results death to media people and competing politicians who wishes to reform. These gangster killings is not new in the South. I've been hearing broadcasters being killed from time to time. What we can do is to never be afraid of these people who are also afraid themselves.

Movie Review: Green Lantern:First Flight

Review: DC Universe and Warner Video once again produces another full length animated movie. The movie explores the beginnings of Hal Jordan, the original Green Lantern of the Silver Age era. It should also be noted that the animated film has nothing to do with the Justice League Unlimited's Green Lantern John Stewart. What I like was that the power ring looked better than what it looked like Hal Jordan first wore in comics. The Green Lantern costume was now looked more like a uniform than a superhero costume. Sinestro's uniform was also updated to what he looked like in comics. I like Sinestro's character design. He doesn't look like a villain you expect. It was less cartoony than what the Justice League look like. It also brought back some of the old members of the Green Lantern Corps. like Arisia, Chip, and Salaak. Featuring the voices of Christopher Meloni as Hal Jordan, Victor Garber as Sinestro, Michael Madsen as Kilowog, Tricia Helfer as Boodikka.

Movie Review: Surrogates

Plot: In the near future,98 % of the world's population are dependent on Surrogates,androids virtually operated by humans using will power without leaving the comfort of their own rooms.

Review: This is type of Sci-Fi story that will make you think philosopically of what drove the humans to this stage of life. The surrogate lifestyle brought end of prejudice and discrimination. This seemingly perfectly society may sound ideal to you but if I observed it correctly there's always pros and cons. Chaos theory states there's always a flaw in evolution. This is one reality that I think humanity will not accept because there's a need for a human being to go outside the walls of his/her walls.

Victims Or Victors

It's been over a month and I'm glad that people are trying to recover from the nightmare that was Ondoy. I may experience the trauma of some people I know or the tragedy of what people experienced, but all of us wre affected. I was reminded of Nehemiah's words, "Let us rise up and build." I also parallel our Ondoy experience to a scene in Rocky 2 where 2 equals Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed were exchanging punches but both weren't able to knocked each other out till both got tired and fell. As both rivals were flat on the ring, the referee is already counting to declare a draw. Rocky's coach was shouting for him to get up. As the time draws near, Rocky got up and was declared a winner. We too can rise from our ashes like phoenix. It's only up to us. Should we remain victims or be victors.

On Notarizing Documents

I was having my sister's document notarizing for the completion of her requirements for college,I was scouting nearby my place for notary public. Suprisingly, I couldn't find any at my nearest corner where a school and a marketplace was located. I went over till I reach Taft-San Andres where I saw a law office/notary public but it was beyond my price range. Good thing there was another near the recruitment area in Remedios.
