Short Circuit

The fact that 433 bettors will split up and divide among themselves the ₱236,091,188 Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot prize of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office is improbable and doubtful.

Social media users find it incredulous.  This one is for Ripley ...  and one can smell a rotten rat.  The congressmen asking for an all-out investigation is a step in the right direction.

Are the Stars Out Today? Bianca King

Not everybody has a chance to brush elbows with the stars in the entertainment, modeling, and pageant industries so when the invitation starts knocking at my door ... who am I to refuse. Others may frown at it ... but it is irresistible. Well-meaning friends have given us the opportunity on a silver platter (it is like allowing us to get something easily ... without having to work on it) so when I saw the window ... in basketball lingo - an opening ... all I did was to dribble the ball ... do the lay-up and shoot it for the much-needed money shot.

Bianca King is not the usual kontrabida you see in her soap dramas.  Far from her on-screen persona ... her usual strong-willed and stubborn character - she struck me as the sweetest and fun to be with off-screen.  Pangiti-ngiti lang ... very unassuming.

Responding to Netizen's Comment

Netizen Question: What is your opinion about Miss Universe Organization's stance that "Abortion is Healthcare". They further said that they believe everyone should have access to a healthy and safe abortion.

Viewpoint and Mindset Response: 

Abortion is a very divisive topic, one that Miss Universe Organization should stay away from.  But it looked like the head honchos are making abortion their new advocacy.

I am a Catholic ... but I really don't care what others do with their lives - let alone submit herself to abortion. It is her life ... but she is answerable to God and the child among others.

What is wrong is when MUO campaigns for it - endorse, champion, recommend and be a staunched advocate of this gory procedure.

I actually support abortion for women whose lives are in danger ... it is her choice to save her life or the life of the child.

What I don't approve of is abortion for irresponsible couples who want to have sex and want to avail the services of an abortionist to go away with their parenthood responsibilities.

Funny how these caterpillars from the west shout: "My body ... my choice" when abortion is the topic, but label those people who refused to take the Covid vaccine as anti-vaxxers, science-deniers, and uneducated.

Such a double standard!

Short Circuit

My friend said: "Abortion is anathema to religion-leaning countries like the Philippines. As you see two-thirds of Americans favor abortion in some or all circumstances.

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble ... and granting majority is in favor of it ... but numbers let alone the MAJORITY don't make an abortion is RIGHT!"

The Irony of Life

It is ironic that new graduates who could not find work shun away from working on the farm. They would rather stay home idle than work under the sun's heat. 

Are they ashamed of the nature of the work ... or they don't want a calloused hand?  But reality bites! The food they eat at the table and the money their parents are giving them come from their father's sweat from working under demanding temperature changes on the farm.
