D: Khavn de la Cruz
S: Timothy Mabalot, Marife Necesito, Palito, Whitney Tyson, Stefan PunongbayanGanito ang katapusan ng mundo. Si Khavn ang isa sa mga propeta, isa sa milyon-milyo pa. Kasingkapal ng bibliya ang buong kuwento. May engrandeng koro. Si Claire Danes ang putang babatuhin hanggang mamatay. May tumutugtog na Samba habang lumalapit ang kamera sa minamahal mong
bahaybasura. Magwawagi ang kasamaan. Ang mga tao—mapupunggok, mapuputulan ng kamay, at makukuntentong kumantot ng pato. Parang ngayon lang rin.Ang pagiging tanggero, magbabalot, jakulero, pulubing hardcore sa kanto ng EDSA at Kamias, tagapagpautang ng payb-siks, may-ari ng paupahang bahay, squatterpunk, mutineer, rapper, taga-shine ng sapatos, at maninilip—pinangangatawanan pa rin. Uso pa rin ang sex, drugs, and ultraviolins. Inaapi pa rin ang mga baklang boses kiki. Wala pa ring abs ang mga tunay na lalake. Marami pa ring anak ang mga tanging ina. Kinakantot pa rin tayong patalikod ng mga puti. Mas mabuti pang sunugin ang lahat—“para malinis lahat ang di kayang linisin ng ulan.”
Wala nang maikukuwento pa dahil wala nang kuwenta. Nagkokombo si Palito sa ibabaw ng bubong ninyo. Wala nang tutubuang lupa. Mama mo ang mama-san mo. Kaya paalam, malupit na mundo. Paalam, Brocka. Paalam, paraiso. Paalam, Aking Bulalakaw. Wala nang tubig. Wala nang pagkain. Eh di magsayaw na lang tayo.

Excommunicate Me!
The CBCP threatens politicians who support the RH bill with excommunication. But our representatives are not backing down. To ensure the passage of the bill, they are willing to risk being excommunicated.
So are we.
On November 26, 6pm, we’re throwing an excommunication party to celebrate our freedom to choose what’s best for our own bodies. Join us at Adarna Food and Culture for an evening of dinner and entertainment as we take a stand for secularism and call for the immediate passage of the RH bill.

The November 23 Massacre — also known as the Maguindanao or Ampatuan Massacre — has become an emblem for a country’s culture of impunity, where powerful people think they can literally get away with murdering dozens of innocent people in a single premeditated act.
It has been a year since that infamous day. There have been no convictions. A trial continues, hidden from public view by a Supreme Court ruling prohibiting live coverage and cameras inside the courtroom.

HAHAHAHAHA. :))
I so experienced this today. You have no idea how free the streets are when Pacquio has a fight. Not so many people at malls either. People are at different bars watching the fight and screaming when he wins. Imagine all the mugs of beer and peanuts being eaten while he punches here and there.
Oh my God! Was this at the Podium? Me and my sister rushed from school that day and we were like 2 hours away plus traffic. We didn’t know that there were like 200 stubs given away earlier. We were in line and we didn’t even get to see them because they didn’t finish signing everyone’s CDs and posters. And when they were leaving there was a swarm of people surrounding them so all we could see were their precious heads of hair…haha.I blame the management and the security. How come they’re always like that here? I hate it so much, too strict. They don’t care about the fans. Just like whe I hugged Gabe during their record signing here. A girl from production said: “NO HUGS PLEASE!” I mean I’m sure Panic would’ve liked to sign everything.
