Reflections on Peace through the Movie Bobby


Written on August 19, 2007 – 9:07 am | by shenbrood

Pp0809fractalpeaceposters When I opened the computer earlier tonight I was wondering what to watch and then I see this downloaded movie folder named, “Bobby”. 

Actually I do not know what movie it was then I begin to play it knowing that nothing else was available.  Then as I play it I realize that it was the life story of Robert Kennedy, the brother of John F. Kennedy and began enjoying the film.  At the near end of the film as the night makes me sleepy I witness his assassination and as the event unfolds it was backgrounded by a speech, a speech which touched me.

Thoughts to ponder… Shen and himself

I don’t know how to begin but today I totally feel empty, sad and feels like I don’t deserve anything nor any person not even my kids.  I try miserably to be strong, to be happy and contented… to find ways to get things done for others… but in the end I see myself as empty and sacrificing my own happiness.

People seems to misunderstand me and my intentions.  I love them so much but whenever there are things that I do that they find not good for them or wrong for them they tell me all hurting things… left me and for some reason find me at fault.  Why would I be at fault… I am also a victim of my feelings of things which I also want for myself… of the search that for so long since my childhood I cannot seem to finish.

The Essence of Love…


Written on April 10, 2007 – 2:51 am | by shenbrood

Love_is_blind_by_gardenofgloom
We often times asked ourselves why do we love someone and why are we always hurting deep inside whenever that someone leaves us.  We asked ourselves if it is still worth it to love someone and just be hurt in the end.

Sa dinami dami nga naman ng mga pwedeng maramdaman sa mundo bakit pagibig ang parehong napakasarap at napakasakit na bagay na pwedeng maramdaman ng isang tao.  Masaya ka pag andyan ang taong mahal mo pero sa sandaling saihin nya na teka muna andyan na ang sakit na iyong mararamdaman.  Hmmm… ang gulo noh.  Pero natanong na ba natin o napag-isipan natin kung ano nga ba ang pag-ibig.

Songs that Reflects Sentiments


Written on April 8, 2007 – 2:48 am | by shenbrood

Just wanted to share two songs which reflects sentiments of heart, life and love and I hope that most of you can relate.

TILA
Lani Misalucha

(Click Here to Play Song)

Tila inulan ang puso ko
Nang nalamig ang ‘yong pagsuyo
O bakit nagbago ang ‘yong pagtingin
Parang malamig na panahon

At nang ikaw ay kinausap ko
Habang ang ulan ay bumubuhos
Nakita ko sayong mga mata
Na gaganda din ang panahon

Chorus
Tila hihina rin ang ulan
Tila lilipas din ang bagyo
Kahit madilim ang kalawakan may nagtatagon
Sinag sa ulap

Tila inulan ang puso ko
Nang parang naglaho ang pagibig mo
O bakit ka kaya nagbago
Sinlamig ng panahon

Chorus
Tila hihina rin ang ulan
Tila lilipas din ang bagyo
Liliwanag din ang kalangitan
At ang araw ay sisikat nang muli

Bridge
Ang karimlan ay haharapin
Matatanaw ko rin
Bughaw na langit
Umaasang ang pagibig mo ay magbabalik
Pawiin mo ang lungkot sa puso ko
Kahit madilim ang kalawakan
May nagtatagong sinag sa ulap

Chorus
Tila hihina rin ang ulan
Tila lilipas din ang bagyo
Liliwanag din ang kalangitan
At ang araw ay sisikat nang muli


HALF CRAZY
Freestyle
from the album: Live @ 19th East

(Click here to Play Song)

Know I havent slept a week at all
Since you’ve been gone
And my eyes are kinda tired
From crying all night long
Know i’ve never been too good at cooking just for one
It’s so lonely here without you darling
Come back home

’cause i’m half crazy
Feelin’ sorry for myself
Half crazy
Worried you’d find someone else to love

Know life hasnt been much fun at all
Since you’ve been gone
And my eyes being to feel
Each time I hear a sound
I spent every minute asking myself
What went wrong
Can’t we try to talk it over baby
Come back home

’cause i’m half crazy
Feelin’ sorry for myself
Half crazy
Worried you’d find someone else to love
But baby there is no-one else
Half crazy
For everything you saying
Half crazy
No one else could love you like I do

(break)

’cause i’m half crazy
Feelin’ sorry for myself
Half crazy
Worried you’d find someone else to love
But baby there is no-one else
Half crazy
For everything you saying
Half crazy
No one else could ever love you
No one else could ever be

Half crazy
Feeling sorry for myself
And i’m worried you’ll find someone else
Feeling sorry for myself
Half crazy (faded)

 

Localizing Philippine elections


Written on January 15, 2007 – 4:27 am | by shenbrood

        For a long time now I had this idea on how to localize, systematize and rationalize our current structure of government in the country that is why in reality I am in favor of Charter Change but not at this time and with this President… well enough about that.  Here is my idea.

        We should adapt the Parliamentary- Federal System of Government;

        In this system the pattern of the current party-list will be used in which part of the members of Parliament are elected based on the percentage of votes gathered by their parties in the election held for that purpose. Through this we can avoid personality politics and replace it with politics of platform of government and ideas. This will also effectively solve the current strife and bickerings by different factions since they will have the chance to be elected in Parliament;

What Does the Film Munting Tinig Reveals to Us?


Written on January 14, 2007 – 9:10 pm | by shenbrood

        This is the first time in many months in which I gave a review for a film and I would like also to share it to others.  This review is written for Marianne dela Cruz, a BROOD member from Nueva Ecija.

   
“Munting Tinig” or Small Voices which stars Alessandra de Rossi was a film that depicts typical situation in barrios in the provinces. These places are engulfed with poverty and at times hopelessness on their live with the single mission which is to survive each day and eventually get out of their situation in life. A typical place where there is insurgency and the youth is face with a hard reality of either studying or helping their parents earn for a living. These scenario takes away the future literally of the youth. Their future which should be the primary concerns of their parents. Most of the
parents think that going to school was just a burden and spending time and effort on school activities was a hindrance towards their survival.

BROOD Turns 5 on March 25th!


Written on January 13, 2007 – 8:45 pm | by shenbrood

Broodatimonan         On march 25, Brotherhood of Destiny, Inc. will be turning 5 years old.  Wow! And it was just like yesterday when everything was just beginning.  BROOD had been mainly inspired by the fact that Lei, Darkling and I wanted to have a close bonding of our friendship that could transcend through time and we had thought of many things to do that.  Later on Hunter X Hunter inspired us to create an organization that would be like a family and then with 8 individuals (Lei, Darkling, Spiker, Spark, Wolfwood, Shen, Trixhon, and Silent Killer) BROOD was born.

        I remember that at the same date I began to design the website of the organization and you can still browse its pages including the introduction:

It is Really an INCONVENIENT TRUTH


Written on December 23, 2006 – 11:48 pm | by shenbrood

Inconvenienttruth_1
This morning I have watched Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth and by the way I analyze it.. it is really a very inconvenient truth.  It was an eye opening film that made me say, "Wow, we are on a brink of armageddon and we have less than 100 years to live… where will my children be by then and what will they say about us?"

Caring for our Earth is really very important and necessary but it is also the last thing that most of us do and consider.  We continue toi use plastics, throw away garbage everywhere, pollute our bodies of water, and continue to be irresponsible.  What is I tell you that in 50 years water levels may rise by 20 feet and almost more than 100 million people on Earth will be affected?  It’s just like the catastophe portrayed in Noah’s story.

Counseling and Losing Friends


Written on December 12, 2006 – 11:18 pm | by shenbrood

As a friend I do value friendship greatly and thus I tend to help and counsel my friends as long as I can.  Whenever they have problems even just using text I do respond and give them my views about their issues and problems.

But what is saddening is that sometimes when your view contradicts with theirs in the long run you end up losing that friend or you end up enemies.  Sometimes I do ask myself whether which is better: (1) To ignore a friend; (2) Just listen to him and share nothing; or (3) Give him/her an advice.
