Been Gone Too Long
I guess some people write only when they're sad, or inspired, or let's just say when lonely.
Am I? Which is why I am blogging now?
Ah! I've been gone too long indeed. But it's funny to start off with David Archuleta's video blogs. For some reason, he inspires me in amazing ways. Might be doing it regularly, but I'm not sorry. LOL.
Haven't figured out yet how to post it with the actual videos being shown and not just the link.

What Matters Most
Is love as predictable as the rain?
Akala natin makikilala natin ito kapag nakita natin ito. Minsan, hindi natin alam, natitisod na pala tayo hindi pa natin namamalayang tayo pala'y nagmamahal na.
Magigising ka na lamang isang araw, hindi kumpleto ang araw mo na hindi nakikita ang isang tao. Na kahit magsakripisyo ka ng oras, ng panahon kahit oras na lang na iyong itutulog, OK lang basta't makasama mo lang ang taong iyon. Hindi din ganap ang kasiyahang iyon hangga't hindi mo nauulinig ang malutong na tawa at maaninag ang maamong mukha ng iyong minamahal. At kung paminsan minsa'y ang pagdaop ng inyong mga palad.
Ang bawat sandaling kayo lamang dalawa ang magkasama ay panahong inuukit mo sa iyong memorya. Sinusuong kahit na ang imposible basta't makasama mo lamang siya kahit isang nakaw na gabi. Ang mga lugar na inyong napuntahan ay pilit na binabalik-balikan - sumasakay na mag-uli sa swing sa puno ng mangga, o nagpapalipas ng oras sa parehong bench kung saan kayo sumilong nang umulan nand di ninyo alintana.
Totoo, may mga bagay na masakit tanggapin subalit katotohanan, na minsan ang pagibig ay iisa ang daloy na dinadaluyan. Ang ilog ay bibihirang nagsasalubong. One way ika nga katulad ng mga busy streets. Masakit ngunit kailangang lunukin dahil iyon ang dapat. Bakit mo nga naman ipagsisiksikan ang sarili sa isang salok na puno na?
Sadyang ganyan nga ang buhay at ang buhay ay kailangang magpatuloy. Ang mahalaga, ikaw ay minsan sa iyong buhay ay nagmahal ng tunay. Ang pagibig ay ni minsa'y hindi lumayo, ang tao ang lumalayo sa pagibig. Kaya naman para makalimot, minsan ang paglayo ay dapat at matuwid.
Sabi nga, what matters most is that we love at all. And that love will remain engraven in my heart. Even though we part, as parting is the only way to heal the open wounds that only my heart has, those memories will make the wounds bleed fresh and make me remember once more that sometime, somewhere there was someone to whom this heart has deeply cared for. Wo ai ni. Yo amor usted.

A Safer Haven for Bloggers: No More
The Philippines was declared as one of the unsafest place for Journalists since the dawn of Marcos's Martial Law in 1986. The Arroyo government was worse - journalists' blood colors the waters around Malacañang Palace bloody red. The last most inhumane treatment of Journalists was still unsolved as of Press time, referring to the Maguindanao Massacre done in cold blood by the Ampatuans - fed by the bloody hands of Malacañang.
Then the past few days, another alarming case reached my interest through one of the wall posts from Rep. Liza Maza of Gabriela Women's Party-list:Maza raises questions on libel case filed against blogger. The blogger was named Ella who allegedly "exposed and criticized the DSWD’s alleged inability to deliver relief goods to typhoon victims and hoarding of relief items in its warehouses on October 21, 2009 at the height of relief operations for victims of tropical storm Ondoy," quoting Maza's statement on her website.
This fact is alarming. I have been a blogger for quite sometime now and oftentimes speaking my rage, sentiment, opinion on different issues that confront me as a citizen imbued with the right to freedom of speech and expression. To blog and speak against an entity - person or organization, who is known to the public as not different from what you are saying is now a ticket for you to stand before a judge and a court? Well, I don't think Ella is alone in her sentiments, isn't she? It is not only DSWD for chrissake.
Filipinos were never dumb Secretary Cabral. so don't make us one. Rep. Maza was correct - show us the facts and we will decide. But is it worth questioning is the question.
Now, with the new law that they are trying to pass in Congress - the CyberCrime Act, would things be worse than this?
Will there be no more safer haven for even us bloggers?
