Wheel of Punishment

Joyridings and Roadtrippings will soon be a thing of the past for lax Motorists of this wonderstate as the money-spinning Federal Traffic Dept had a while ago, unrestricted its toughest ruling (so far). Thus, Singapore: embrace tightly your City of “FINE” title because this Guiness loving Sheikhdom is on-its way as fast as the speeding Ferrari to grab that notorious distinction from you. Tsk.

To comprehend what the hell I’m ranting about, click here & here.

Moreso, here’r two outrageous yarn of my erring Pinoy dude/s who, for allegedly breaking the order of the land have had nightmarish lessons - never they imagine to butt-in on their wildest Arabian dream.

.

Girls and Beers No More! (for Dude No. 1)

He had beaten the red light, banged his sedan to someone else’s Nissan, injuring its sleeping chauffer & commuters and smashed a state-owned pole. Fate of all fate! the law enforcers, upon inspection, discovered the forbidden root of the almost-fatal disaster that screwed himself and the rest, - tin cans of Budweisers and Fosters found in his and his not-so pretty woman’s intimate possession (don’t wori dude, ‘wont tell your wife)

The verdict: “just” a minimum of Dhs. 20 thou (or a staggering P 350,000+) and months of incarceration w/ the company of potential rapists. (that is why each time I visited the repentant lover boy inside, my friendly advise is: Man, “WATCH YOUR BACK”) .Tsk. Tsk.

.
One for All, All for One! (for DudeS No. 2)

These moronic gang of 5 who also happened to be my kumpadres and x-katagayans (they dunno AJ's blogging, anyway) have had their car-offense tale more humiliating and flawed than that of Daniel Baldwin and Lindsay Lohan.

The verdict for his/their unlicensed driving while under Brandy and Vodka’s spell? - hefty amount too, enough for a corrupt someone to procure his next sports car. And for cracking a frenetic taxi-driver’s tail lights and overtaking/ditching the mad as a hatter latter? The verdict is: “just” a newly-wed left and right SLAP on their respective baby faces performed with pride and sheer excitement by their 6 footer captors - who does so to them in a firing squad formation.

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!

And maybe, just maybe, after serving brutal sentence in a creepy gallow and paying fine fees (that can already buy a condo unit in Manila), their golden visas will be annulled promptly upon deportation, and one more for the road to home, the can’t be bribed Officers-in-uniform would surely tell them this: “there you are Boys, free as a bird to drink, drive and womanize again!"

Seasons of Chaos: Reasons of Hope

WHEW! Whattaweek of corporate meetings, trainings and bloody deadlines.! So pardon AJ and castigate instead his time-robbing” work and "I-need-it now Bosses" for the sudden re-post. Allow me as well to put jesting for a while as I invite you to re- ponder seriously w/ me in this left-unnoticed, yet message and meaning-filled piece.

Tata for now!

Breaking news of bloodshed, outrage and feud are nothing special in the headlines. A representation of our times’ sorry-state, so many would agree that morbidly, our Earth-days are numbered. Couldn’t help now but to fear for my life, my love ones’, and for the future of my country(that we’re all destined to breath our last in a macabre ways). On the contrary, I also bring to fruition that with the might of Hope, I could face and conquer the terror and horrors of Fear. But does Hope really exist among the anguish and rubbles left by the delinquent nature of men? The good news is: “Habang may buhay daw may pag-asa” . Suffice to say, images of hope can be tracked-down everywhere -

in the resilience of Glorietta bombing victims whose limbs & emotions were ruptured; in the government plea of grief-stricken families of OFWs flanked by life & death in the foreign gallows; in the pale faces of malnourished children and abandoned Aids sufferrers of Africa; in the gullible smiles of India’s poorest; in the tears of American wives whose husbands were slaughtered in MidEast war; in the intellect of Filipino nurses & doctors whose hard-earned repute was besmirched; in the diligent hands of Asian farmers who patiently re-plant their soil after a day’s storm wiped a long-awaited harvest; in the fists of Palestinian youth who lose “their” domain to Israeli that with every inch of confiscated land, an old man kneels & embrace a bleeding Ground; hope can also be heeded in the untamed chants & banners of pro-Erap in Manila's bullet-ridden streets; and even our political confidence wither, we remain hopeful to see one true peace movement that will embody millions of committed individuals from all walks of life, united in one slogan even if ideologies vary.

Those are few reasons in abundance that may justify our sagacity of torments & frights as we cast our eyes to yet another sunrise, ample hope to carry us through the mayhem of another generation. The world might have gone blind and deaf but not so with the very One who had shaped and supposed to captain its turns. So with tragedies that plague our nation and our borrowed lives, fret not: - someone up there sees our fears and hears our cries. Lets move into the next millennium with Hope for without it, all what we could probably do is to eat, drink and pretend to be merry as we silently watch our chaotic planet die. Let us blazed a right path along which others could follow.

What Mirriam Says

Happy Hearts Day!..Mirriam For You!

.

Had it not for her formidable presence in the Senate trial of $330 million ZTE-NBD hullabaloo, the tribunal would’ve been a real turn off and a squander of time for us, politics and corruption-staled Pinoys. Well, who would not enjoy Mirriam’s exceptional brainpower, death-defying lingo’, frown eyebrow, hoisted fist and native twang, ha? Her bravado is matchless and one of it’s kind. She's been supplying me with barrel of laughs esp this one down in the aftermath of Erap/Jose Pidal's plunder case.

As per today's hottest national issue, ready-to-die plaintiff JDV III, his “blood is thicker than water” Ex-House Speaker Dad JDV II, the “I am innocent in the project” but known golf buddies w/ its top bosses - Comelec X-Chair Benjie Abalos and the President’s equally (or even more) controversial “big man behind” F-G Mike Arroyo and the only “kidnapped” victim with mobile access, - the crying boy or smiling? whistle blower Jun Lozada all made their way in the boiling seat. W/o prejudice, the feisty Mirriam said:

As days goes by, we sees more finger-pointing and hears more naming of names over Media reports that "re-shocked" the nation and the people. More member of the prestigious parliament, too, came close in the popularity-making picture to “rescue“ and voice their takes. For that, I reckon her saying:

"Mirriam, Oh Madam-Senator Mirriam", No Matter WHAT and HOW your critics branded your eloquent madness in all of these, - we need someone like you in this highly-critical time.

.

And the Award goes to…

Me, AJ – the smiling "Lonelyplanet" (modesty aside..)

when I entered the blogging world last year, dunno' what the heck is a weblogging contest of sorts, - and so it does exist in the face of Earth. Scientist and Poll Master Eric Salas nominated and gave me my hard-earned First during week 79. Cutting my "winning"-scoop short, the much-coveted, brouhaha-confronted insignia (his talking logos) has motivated me to post come rain or shine. So serious as it may sounds, I am forwarding those token of enormous meaning to -

YOU, my Fellow in the Roll -

.

Talksmart, Tanom, Scottys Princess, Eds, Cheh, Honey, in particular who’d wedge their way-in to share AJ those adorable little badges that are now invading his freaking sidebar. I wa’snt boasting just purely honored :) You may also notice that mine has invincible payperpost banner engraved(sssshhh..AJ still cook-up w/ advertisers - once in a full moon).
My personal site was mainly created to hone my craze in journalism, photography and web-page designing. It mirror a common bloggers objective: to divert, to humor, to edify and to generally put down a subsconsious mind’s cryptic shoutouts in melodramatic and above-the-belt verbatim.

Amidst my blogging-life's startling discovery, my electrifying rapport w/ you my www readers and/or virtual connections did completed and rewarded my purpose to the fullest. KUDOS for taking time to hop and for leaving trails of short but significant notes in my rambling pieces & chatboxes. W/ smiley faces added, what else could I ask for? Traffic-triggering “Xlink?” are also acknowledged (even no hear after,- paramdam kayo ulit:(

.

Soon-to-be Awardees/BlogMates,
.
You toiled, yet seemed remain unsung. Dismay not, those humbling recognition would be knocking in your blog door at anytime, like a thief in the night. Press on! and Fight a good Fight of Blogging Faith.

.
Remember that YOU ARE ALL DEAR by AJ. For the day of hearts, accept his offering:

The Mad Tag

My blogsite’s No. 1 lady intruder (honey who luv Scotty is the name) just made her friendly, actually "bloody vengeance” by Tagging me-back. Hers simply aim to terminate my (not-even-started) modeling career by asking me to post a MAD pix.

Thus, To (a) help her regain her "vengeance" from her own assailant (b) to delight my global audience who take pleasure in my barbed & gory wit and (c) for the "sinong galit" MEME sake, I rushed to this photoshoot out of my hectic sked.

(ps: I apologize, was a bit "younger" here..)

SHAKE: this is when my Halo' is on..(i anticipate you know what the heck is Halo)

RATTLE:and when I feel like putting that Angelic thingy down..

Where Cabin Crew Rest

Ever wondered where the gorgeous flight attendants lay their timezoned heads when the lights are off ?

Brace yourself (envy if you wish) as you take-off for this not-blogged-before photos of International Flag Carriers’ Haven in the Sky - including herein our very own. And for hilarity purposes, I want you folks to lend me a buzz on your good pick. BE FAIR.

There we are -

tell me, who would not fancy for UK's British Airways ?

or covet this futuristic one from South-African Airways..

but many would perhaps go for Germany's Lufthansa,

or EOS Airline of London and New York City -

The Netherland's KLM may be among your top choice

that duplicates the whims of Madonna's much-adored Air France

..last and obviously the least,

... think about Pinoy! think about the "Asia's Sunniest"

- the Philippines' PAL

Poor girl out-there (*sigh*). With the greenbucks' turbulent landing against the skyrocketting Peso, what do we expect then, huh'?

And Oh I want my hands clean so blame this barbaric expose' to my jetsetter (and nutty -Professor) Mr. Ricardo J' . Watch out for more of Maestro's ravaging emails on your way!.

... while you are sleeping :)
