Deceptive And Harmful

 


     So I was about to make another entry on my blog when lo and behold, I was greeted by a message on an ominous red background (resembling the photo above), telling me that my website is deceptive and dangerous, that it may install malicious software or steal some information or passwords from the visitors. First thing that came to my mind was the safety of the computer of hundreds of thousands of my readers. Lol. Okay, three readers. Okay, two, the third just got tired of my boring contents. But how could my blog be dangerous? It contains nothing but mediocre stories and poorly-written anecdotes. Yes, I borrow some photos but Fair Use allows me to do that as I don’t use those photos to earn me money. In fact, I use them to (*coughs*) inform and educate. Ooohh, maybe they are deemed dangerous because mediocre stories and anecdotes stagnate and harm the mind. I looked at the details of the message in red and it said “No harmful content was found in this site” with an instruction on how to remove the warning. I did just that and brought the blog back to normal.

     Now, I’m thinking that it’s probably a sign that I should stop this blog. Lol. The problem is, this blog sort of serves as my journal or a diary where I document all those little things (happening to me and the people around me) that I find amusing. I maintain this blog to amuse me. And store some ideas for future stories and references. If some random people would stumble upon these stories and anecdotes and be amused too, then, that’s just a bonus. Maybe, something is telling me to just buy a real journal which I could keep inside a drawer.

     I was intending to upload a story, but then, it can wait, until I’m certain that this blog and my writings are, unlike some people I know, really no longer deceptive and harmful.

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

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water

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
