A Perverted Pinocchio Tale


harold camping of FamilyRadio.com - May 11, 2011 Rapture Prediction

if for every lie, pinocchio's prick would expand, harold camping could easily have the longest dick in the known universe.

as it is, he's probably the biggest DICK in the world. at least for those that believed his rapture story and went ahead and quit their jobs and went on a euphoric acid trip believing that May 21, 2011, at exactly 6:00PM, the rapture will happen and signal the end of the world.

seriously, it can't happen that soon. the expiration on my Coke Zero can said June 15, 2011 and I still have to watch the last episode of Oprah and let Americans make the biggest mistake of voting for the worst American Idol season winner of all time.

i sat through mass during the Saturday, May 11, 2011 6:00PM anticipated schedule. if there was anyone who was going to suddenly dissipate and rise to heaven, it would have to be the priest standing in the pulpit in front of all the sinners. guess what, not a single one disappeared inside the church. oh wait, we're asians, we can't be saved, right harold?

last night, i had the distinct pleasure of watching a late tv opinion show where they had rabid anti Reproductive Health (RH) politicians slugging it out with pro RH advocates on the moral merits of the issue. ok, so what's pleasurable with watching la coste (aka crocodile) brand ambassadors on national TV?

when they opened the telephone lines for commentators, one caller opened her line with:

"this is not a question, it's already 9:00PM, May 11, 2011 and harold camping said you suckers are all going to hell with me!"

ooooohhh that shut the panel up and forced an emergency ad spot.

then again, i realized that i had it wrong.

you see, harold computed it VERY specifically to be May 11, 2011 6:00PM California time (where he's based). Which meant that it has to happen May 22, 2011 9:00AM Cebu/Manila/Philippine time.

and i was like, pissed.

i was scheduled to join a corporate event hosted by Shangri-la Mactan Resort and Spa and I was looking forward to breakfast in Acqua and Lunch at Tides.

by 9:01AM i realized that the whole bloody Philippines is going to hell as everyone around me enjoyed their danggit, corn beef hash, fried rice, daing na bangus, native chorizo, omelette and endless supply of freshly brewed coffee and fruit juice.

that's a distinct probability, but the reality would have a horde of pitchfork wielding, jobless, publicly humiliated folks running after harold and shouting "wait till we get to you, we'll make this baseball bat disappear... up your ass!!!"

the sign

"Lord, give me a sign..." no, i haven't fallen victim to overly melodramatic movie lines. on the other hand, i actually did use these words while attending mass last sunday (Redemptorist, Cebu City). you see, i have been increasingly dissatisfied with matters regarding the church but not necessarily my faith. to a point that i am debating whether i should even attend mass. i was asking myself if i wanted to attend mass given the fact that the church is getting more political. sure, i understand liberation theology and standing up for what is morally right. but that is exactly the same thing that has been bothering me, the moral thingy. the local church is proclaiming that the current administration has no moral leadership. i am not refuting that claim, on the other hand, the church could have said the same thing about itself. except that they rather not comment on anything when it comes to issues facing the institutional church. and there are tons of dirt, make that hun...

a most unusual saint

Image
the title Black Magic Mary is enough to conjur images of a witch draped in black robes similar to that of the Virgin Mary albeit with a more sinister aura. in Sta. Maria Church in Siquijor, a saint wearing a black habit holds a skull in one hand and an "inverted cross" in another is fast gaining a reputation that is probably influenced by the mystic history of the island itself. locals have speculated that the skull is actually her husband's and that she murdered her husband for reasons that seems to have been lost in history. a bit of research show that the locals refer to the saint as Santa Rita de Siquijor, probably a Filipino convention where we name the Virgin Mary with annexes related to places (e.g. Our Lady of Guadalupe). my own research led me to discover this particular "myth" in an effort to know more about Santa Rita de Cascia who is the patron saint of a church and town named after her in Pampanga. The first thing that caught my attenti...

Cambugahay, Lazi, Siquijor

CAMBUGAHAY FALLS three layered cambugahay falls, the water invites you to take a dip in its cool embrace Cambugayay falls  is accessible from the main highway of Lazi, Siquijor. a marker with Kris Aquino's face promoting Casino rubbing alcohol marks  the top of the 135 steps that leads to the landing area of the three tiered waterfalls that beckon visitors to take a dip in its gorgeously blue green water. side note, manong nonoy totally avoided the trek down to the pool in the pretext of watching over our car. moderate fitness is required for this one. looks inviting for a jump? some of the locals enjoying a splash in the pool. met a family having an excursion, this is the required "wacky" pose. interestingly, when i got the chance to chat up the family, they told me that while i was doing my "acrobatics" trying to frame my pictures, a monitor lizard casually walked behind me, paused for a bit while looking at me before sauntering of...
