' I OWN YOU, SKIN AND SOUL!' : A GRIP ON DIGITAL SLAVERY

'Tis mad idolatry,
To make the service greater than the god -Shakespeare

In some scenario, there might be two kinds of people : The Greater and The Lesser ones. Of course, the former bear the power to influence, manipulate and enslave the latter.  Scanning through social media , it is interesting to note that minions work overtime for their gods.  They must come cheap since you cannot count them with your pubic hair. They abound and embrace the thought that there are no moral standards in building up and defending their choice of a modern day flesh and blood idol who reign supreme in owning them skin and soul.  They are basically called TROLLS, since they dwell in the dark caverns of their beliefs and are presumed to only have ugly intentions of confusing issues at hand and provoke teeth and blood argument as well as maximum disruption.  They are indeed the lesser ones who assume almost respectable as well as mediocre names to surf through the widest platforms with their glaucomic views of the brighter side of the world.  The lesser ones are real people with unreal manifestations just to grapple with the wits of those who become them in the process.  It has even been an abused word this TROLL; in forums swarming with them, your two cents is brutally mangled with their loose use of cuss and disdain which may in probable cases become personal.  We should all be wary when interacting with strangers online, they can be as nasty as their behinds and would spit on you laughing.  They should be the least of our concern really.  If you have stones to grind with political or social/religious issues, DO NOT attempt to swim into a heated thread but rather gather your thoughts and BLOG it.

XIXI MATURAN COVER OF JONG SUMANGIL'S 'B U L A' [MusicVideo]

M E B OO HEY!

"Mabuhay" is our way of celebrating a moment. It easily escapes from us into the air to punctuate jubilation. I still have to hear it in a funeral which I guess is quite fitting too as a send-off message to the dearly departed into the afterlife. "Buhay" is life therefore, "Mabuhay" also applies to the afterlife! Anyway... if you happen to be brought here by any eventuality or a misclick or link, allow me to say M A B U H A Y! Welcome to THIRD WORLD LIVING! It is just about anything thirdy . Actually this is really an old concept I cooked up somethime in the early 80s I thought of as vignettes to be compiled as a book but then life got quite complicated that it had to settle for the back burner of a very dirty kitchen somewhere away from civilization.

GOODBYE YELLOW STRAIGHT ROAD!

Of course you read it right. You cannot be wrong. This is intentional and the pun came as an accident. When the 'DAANG MATUWID' was pitched like it was a crispier, chinese-ly prepared chicken parts, I laughed. So hard that my false dentures threatened to let loose and fly into the air but did not. My ridge-less gums [what do you expect I lost all my teeth when I was eighteen!] was graciously swabbed with the popular adhesive [I hope an adman reads this and make me an endorser!]. It wasn't funny .
