para

'ma, para ho sa tabi.'

ayan lagi sinasabi kapag dapat o gusto mo nang bumaba ng dyip. pero ano ba talaga ibig sabihin noon?

naisip ko lang...malamang galing sa salitang portuguese ang para na ang ibig sabihin, tigil (marami kasi akong katrabahong braziliano, ang salita nila portuguese).

sigurado ako, nasambit iyan ni magellan nung mga kapanahunang pinalilibutan na siya nang tribo ni lapu-lapu. galing si mang mags sa portugal, inikot ang mundo at gustong ikalat ang kristiyanismo. si rajah humabon at ang kanyang kabiyak na si Juana eh nagpaconvert, siguro dahil sa pagiging friendly nila kaya nila ito nagawa. kaya lang inutu-uto ni rajah humabon at datu zula si mang mags. kaya ayun, nabulilyaso siya. pumunta ba naman sa mactan. pero sabi, motibo rin kasi ni mang mags na maging kristiyano si lapu-lapu. eh ayaw, kaya ayun, nagpapara-para siya doon. kaya lang mukhang hindi naintindhan. nasaan kaya si enrique the-malay-interpreter-of-Fernão-de-Magalhães ng mga panahong iyon?

nowt: baka absent ka nung tinuro ito, Abril 17, 1521 namatay si magellan.

Manny Pacquiao

In 8,362 crowd, mostly Filipinos and not to mention Boston Celtics’ presence , favorably cheered for Pacman as he enters the ring in Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, 28th of June 2008, Saturday. From 130 lbs to 135 lbs to fight the defending Lightweight champion, David Diaz, Mexican-American from Chicago.

Having said that the Mexican-American had defeated the Olympian champion Marquez, Diaz was surprised by Pacman’s speed and strength. Not prepared for the jabs that he received that made him fall for the 9th round that waved off the fight by 2:24 without Referee Vic Drakulich’s countdown.

Winning the title for Lightweight made Pacman the first Filipino and first Asian who held a championship belt world titles in different weight divisions. He walks up starting from 106 lbs in Flyweight; 112 lbs in Junior Featherweight; 122 lbs in Featherweight; 126 lbs where he defeated Marco Antonio Barera; 130 lbs to fight Manuel Marquez; and yesterday’s famous knockout with Diaz by 135 lbs.

Parties for Manny from US to his hometown, our country, Philippines awaits him. So much will be celebrated even after the tremendous effect of typhoon Frank in which he promised to help when he gets home.

Mabuhay ka Manny!

manood ka

Kapapanood ko lang ng You Don't Mess With The Zohan. Natural mente, tumawa ako nang tumawa. Paborito ko si Adam Sandler at halos lahat ng pelikulang pinagbidahan niya ay napanood ko na. Pero ang pelikulang ito ay kakaiba. Sabi ng ibang kritiko ito ay isang 'Israeli movie.' Sang-ayon naman ako doon. Ito ay sumisimbolo sa mga kaganapan sa pagitan nang ng mga Israeli at Palestinian. at ang napakalaking 'pagitang' ito ay ang napakalaking pader na umaabot ng 8 metro (25 talampakan) ang taas, mas mataas pa sa pader ng Berlin na 3.6 metro (11.8 talampakan). Isipin mo kung gaano kaatas ito at gaano kahaba, na hanggang ngayon eh, 'under construction' pa rin kahit na 650 kilometro (403 milya) na ito.

Sabi ang pader daw ay nandoon dahil na rin sa mga sumusuporta doon, at isa sa mga iyon ay si Pres. G.W. Bush, na hindi yata alam kung ano ang ginagawa, kaya ang resulta lalo lamang lumalala. Dati pa man, may batikusan na sa pagitan ng mga Israeli at Palestinian. Magbasa ka nang Bibliya, nandoon ang mga iyon. Si Sharon kasi, akala niya matitigil ang batikusan sa 2 panig sa pamamagitan ng konkreto. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

May iba't-ibang bersyon akong nabasa at napanood patungkol dito. Sa ngayon, sa pananaw ko, parang walang katapusang paghihirap ang nakikita ko. Sumisigaw na sila sa buong mundo at humihingi ng tulong. Pati nga ito, ang pelikulang ito, nagsasabi kung ano nangyayari sa kanila. Pati si Mel Gibson naisali kasi sa anti-semitic rant na ginawa niya. Ayon, natirador siya doon.

Pero may solusyon naman sa bandang huli, ang magkaisa at sama-samang buwagin ang pader na patuloy na sumisira sa kanila sa napakaraming aspeto ng kanilang buhay (politikal, ekonomikal, sosyal at etc.) KAYA nila buwagin ang napalaking pader na iyon. Maniwala ka man o sa hindi nabuwag na nila ang pader nang Jericho. Bakit hindi nila magagawa iyon ngayon?
