Girls, TikTok, and Dogs


 

     A few days ago, two young women were questioned by the police a while they were making a video for TikTok. The two girls rode a motorcycle and while one was driving, her angkas, complete with soap, pail and a tabo, was giving her a bath. Everyone could see how dangerous that stunt was not only for the two women but for the people on the road—so the cops were alerted. Jeez, the things young people would do these days— for likes, fame, and monetization. I am wondering what violation the police would charge them, just in case. Attempted suicide while taking a bath? Reckless imprudence resulting to a murderous bath? Months ago, TikTok videos started appearing compulsory on everyone’s Facebook News Feed and most of the videos that would appear on my News Feed were those of girls dancing provocatively while wearing skimpy clothes (to some, camel toes and nipples poking their shirt or sando were obligatory).

     These provocative videos began vanishing  on my News Feed when I ignored them and I started watching cute TikTok videos of dogs instead, and now, only dog videos appear on my FB News feed, and I’m happy with it. Dogs are almost always completely naked, many wore only a collar, in their TikTok videos but they don’t make me feel a lecher. But sometimes, when I’m having difficulty sleeping and melano—, er, melanie—, I mean, melatonin won’t work, I’d think of those camel toes and the souls they sent astray.

Things You Are Not Allowed To Do During Holy Week (Or So They Say)

Image
       Today is Holy Tuesday, three days away from Good Friday. For many, this is the week to be holy (pun intended). The week for an individual to repent or show how good a christian he is. Ask a priest or any religious person  and they will most likely tell you that the following things are not allowed this week(especially on Good Friday and Black Saturday):        Gorging        Meat        Sex        Porn        Cursing        Vices        Loud music        R-Rated films        Dirty thoughts        Singing (loud music)        Dancing (to loud music)        Bathing (just kidding, it is allowed, of course)        Some acquiesce to this and act all haloed the whole week—then break it when the week’s over. But many will ignore it and go to Boracay and dance naked at the beach while the dolphins watch.   (Okay, there are no dolphins in Boracay and people watch dolphins, not the other way around.)        Our family stays quiet   and shuns meat and

Wait For Her (The Song And The Poem)

Image
       “Wait For Her,” a ballad from Roger Waters’ new album, Is This The Life We Really Want, was inspired from the following poem by Palestinian poet and writer Mahmoud Darwish.  Mr. Waters set melody to it, tweaked some words and the result, a hauntingly smart love song. Lesson From The Kama Sutra (Wait For Her) By Mahmoud Darwish (Translation by Dr. Fayeq Oweis) With a glass inlaid with gemstones, wait for her   on a pool around the evening and among the perfumed roses, wait for her… with the patience of a horse destined for the slopes of the mountains, wait for her… with a distinctive aesthetic taste of a prince, wait for her… with seven pillows stuffed with light clouds, wait for her… with the fire of women incense filling the place, wait for her… with the scent of a male sandals on horseback, wait for her… and do not rush it, if she arrives late then wait for her… and if she arrives early, wait for her… do

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f
