Watch out for this really cool teen magazine — a breath of fresh air indeed. I heard, November’s going to be the launching.

Death penalty and The Life of David Gale

Are you for or against death penalty? Is death penalty biblical? Is it really preventing people from committing heinous crimes? Do innocent convictions really happen?

While the movie The Life of David Gale featuring Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslet does not really answer those questions directly — in fact, the movie upon analysis, is just a story about a group of activists and their quest to be heard by the state government — nonetheless, it’ll make you evaluate the impact of this law, particularly in a country where it is implemented like the Philippines.

Sunday night was thought provoking. Joy asked, “what’s the flipping of the feet got to do with it?” I wasn’t able to offer an answer myself. :-) Well, get a DVD. It sure is a good one.

Where to Vote on May 10

For those of you who are excited for May 10′s national election, here’s a way for you to find out earlier where you should go on e-day.

The faster way, and since I assume you have internet access because you are reading this website now. :-) — is to go to findprecinct.com. Enter your Last name, first name, middle name and your birthday. The website searches their database and will show your name with the corresponding precinct and, the cool thing, a map to locate the precinct. It was helpful for me since this is the first time I will be voting in Metro Manila. Since I started voting in 1995 elections, I always cast my vote in my home town in Jaen, Nueva Ecija (2 hours north of Metro Manila). Not anymore.

Now, for those of the rest of the Filipinos who does not know IT except their cellphones, here’s a cool way to find where you should go on the 10th.

Simply type the following information in your cellular phone (SMS):

FINDP LASTNAME,FIRST NAME,MIDDLENAME or MIDDLE INITIAL,BIRTHDATE in mm/dd/yyyy format:

E.g.:

FINDP Cruz,Juan Jr.,D,01/30/1973

then send to:

(SMART) 211
(GLOBE) 2958.

For Sun Cellular Subscribers to access the Find Precinct service,
Click to the Mall / Enter Mall / Post Office / Public Service / Gov’t Agency / Find Precinct or text FindP to 2300. Input your first name then middle name and last name and your date of birth then submit.

Let your voice be heard. Go out and vote — May 10′s the day!

Questions… questions…

Just let me pour my heart out on this one. I need to shout!!! Bear with me. You may not understand me unless you came from the same religious background as mine. But thanks for reading anyway.

Why is it hard to brainwash the brainwashed? Why is somebody who claims to be Greek can’t understand Greek? Is it because he is brainwashed by a non-Greek? How can a brainwashed guy realize that he was brainwashed? Is it hard to realize that you are brainwashed if you claim to be Greek but can’t understand Greek because you have been taught to speak by a non-Greek, a Jew perhaps?

Why, why don’t they get it? Ever! Jesus died for me and for you and Sabbath keeping (and not keeping) does not have anything to do with it. Why, isn’t that simple? That’s why they call it the “simple gospel”. Our salvation does not depend on anything we do, we don’t do or as to whatever day we decide to go to church, except that we accept Jesus’ finished work of redemption. Salvation is free! Libre! If newspapers can be grabbed free at MRT and LRT why can’t salvation? Why is Sabbath so hard to drop? Why does it keep appearing in the picture? Why?

It’s hard to ask questions especially if you already know the answer.
