Something To Think About

 

Before and After

 

Short Circuit

Vice Presidential aspirant Walden Bello reacted to Vic Rodriguez snubbing the media's question.

In this administration, he feels there will be a total revamp in media. And there's just a lot of historical bleaching that is looming on the horizon. 

Will EDSA Revolution still be remembered every February 25? And every September 21 will Martial Law be treated as an insignificant footnote in Philippine history? Or will Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) be given another name?

Marcos only allowed SMNI News, Net 25, and GMA in his first interview outing.

Marcos's camp was quick to deny that there was no media exclusion after granting interviews to the above networks. It was a commitment we have with them as early as the campaign period.

Minor Things That Make You Smile

Humor can be dissected, as a frog can. True to form, philosophers, scientists, and certain left-brained comedians have been scrutinizing humor’s innards or viscera for a while seeking a serious understanding of what makes things funny.

According to one scholarly definition, people who have been working on a quantum theory of humor, something is humorous if people cognitively appraise it as funny, if it creates a positive emotion of amusement or if it makes somebody smile or makes him burst into laughter.

There are a lot of situations in life that we found it strange. As bizarre or offbeat they may be, or how trivial, irrelevant and minor it sounds to others if it tickles someone pink, there are still others in this whole wide world who appreciate it to the same degree as his. Who cares about others whose left-leaning attitude and their threshold of tolerance to small things and humor are askew and lopsided?

Here are examples of things that may sound superficial and paltry to some ... but makes you wonder ... they have managed to make you smile.

I really don't understand why some people like traffic jams. But apparently, they are LINING up for it.

I got some theories.  My friend finds it an opportunity to meet somebody, and talk to them while the cars are moving snail-paced. All he has to do is open the car window, and check if the cute little driver in the other car is looking ... and he can start the conversation.

It was also the time for him to roll up his sleeves and put a little "cheese" in his pick-up lines.
