They Walk Amongst Us


Twilight Zone | Music Codes
A collection of anecdotes I found the other day in my emailbox. They're so stupid they will freak you out.

Don't laugh, though. Remember [music up] they walk amongst us.

Don't forget to PLAY the Twilight Zone music above to get the full effect.

Idiotic 'Millionaire' Contestant Makes Worst Use Of Lifelines Ever

Kathy Evans, the single dumbest contestant to ever get on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'

NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. '

It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.'

After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon she was posed with an extremely easy $100 question. The question was:

'Which of the following is the largest?'
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?

Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized that this was a question to which she did not readily know the answer.

'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'

Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.

'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans. 'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.'

Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant.

'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon.. 15 seconds hun.'

Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds..

'Come on Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Puh, that can't be it.'

To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick 'The Moon..'

'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy.. She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans.

Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.

'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to- live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see. For which is larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.'

Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

******************
Here's some more--
******************

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.' The next day someone stole it.

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted....' Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said...'where?'

While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.'

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach.. She drove down in a convertible, but 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving'.

I told the girl at the steakhouse register that I wanted the half kilogram sirloin. She informed me they only had an 500g sirloin. Not wanting to make a scene, I told her I would take the 500g steak instead of the half-kg.

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped She keeps it in the boot.’

My friends and I were shopping for beer and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, 'Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?' I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

I got off the plane but I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, 'Has our plane arrived yet?'...

While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.

Funny Photo: Isang Umaga, Sakay ng Tricycle

'Yung tinitirahan ko ay nasa bandang looban. 'Yung tipong 'di mo mararating kundi mo sasadyain. 'Pag ikaw 'yung tipong naligaw at du'n ka napadpad, uhm, ano, tanga ka na lang talaga.

Anyway, dahil dito, swertihan kung paglabas mo ng building mo o nu'ng gate ng village eh madadaanan ka ng taxi. Kaya naman--sabi nga ni Melanie Marquez--blessing in the sky, dahil tuwing umaga, mae-enjoy mo ang scenery, ang sariwang hangin, ang peace and serenity habang lulan ka ng ever-reliable, earth-friendly at super-safe mode of transpo: ang tricycle.

Syempre packaged deal d'yan 'yung mga nakakatawang sticker. Gaya nito:

Sabi sa sticker:
PAALALA
HUWAG PO NATIN KALIMUTAN NA MAIWAN ANG ATING
MGA PERSONAL NA KAGAMITAN
SA LOOB NG TRICYCLE.

ATTY. ARIEL INTON
at ng pamunuan ng TODA

Lupet, 'di ba? Ngayon alam na natin kung bakit baku-bako pa rin ang mga kalsada. Kung bakit siksikan ang mga bata sa maliliit, maiinit at kakaunting mga classroom. Kung bakit wala tayong maayos na tirahan. Kung bakit ang mahal ng bilihin. Kung bakit ang mahal ng gasolina at ng pamasahe.

Dahil importanteng ma-remind tayo na huwag nating kalimutan ang ating mga personal na kagamitan sa loob ng tricycle.

[Actually, 'yung nakita kong sticker the other day, identical. Kaya lang sa pinakataas, may nakasulat pang Philippine Government Chenelyn-Chenes, Quezon City Council.]

TAENA naman, mga kuya, mga ate, WE STILL HAVE 1 YEAR, 7 MONTHS AND 1 DAY BAGO ANG MAY 10, 2010 ELECTIONS. Tama na muna ang papogi. Gawin n'yo muna trabaho n'yo, MGA TINAMAAN KAYO NG LINTEK.

At 'wag n'yong gastusin 'yang buwis na ibinayad namin. Mahal-mahal ng pamasahe, napipilitan kaming magbaon ng lunch, laki-laki ng tax na binabawas sa 'min, tapos sa ganyan n'yo lang wawaldasin?!

Btw, according sa time-stamp nu'ng picture, I took it on July 20, 2008. 1 year, 9 months and 21 days before ng susunod na eleksyon.

Putragis na buhay 'to.

Paano Kung Lalaki Ka Pero Ang Celebrity Look-A-Like Mo Eh Si Fiona Apple?

ROTFLMAO!!!
Hindi ko alam kung sino 'to. At sana eh hindi mapikon dahil ginamit ko nang walang paalam 'yung resulta ng Celebrity Look-A-Like chorva n'ya.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit supposedly eh nakakatawa 'to. Nangako naman si Dindo na someday eh madi-discover din kung bakit humahagalpak ako ng tawa sa mga bagay na hindi naman nakakatawa.

Basta ang masasabi ko lang kinabog ako at napa-cartwheel dito sa picture na 'to. Siguro ang happy nung nag-upload ng picture kasi nakita n'yang lumabas na kamukha n'ya eh si Gabriel Byrne. Tapos Elliott Gould. Then Angelina Jolie. Teka.. teka... [pero by this time ini-ignore na ng pc n'ya yung pagpindot n'ya sa cancel button.]

At walang kaabug-abog. biglang lumabas na kamukha rin n'ya... si Fiona Apple [na mukhang pagod dahil galing sa paglalaba at masama ang loob].

Nyahahaha! Ang saya-saya 'no?!

Temporary No Smoking

Isang paunawa na naaninagan ko--at nagpabilis sa pintig ng pulso ko--noong June 25, 2008 sa Ninoy Aquino Int'l Airport Cafeteria.

Sa sobrang stress na inabot ng utak ko, nu'ng humatsing ako, may dugo na.

[Sabay tutugtog ang Twilight Zone theme sa background.]
.

Ano ang Nangyayari sa Kup*l na Driver? Eto...

Nakuha ko 'to sa isang Y!Group.

Supposedly, may isang [stage]mother na kinukunsinti 'yung anak sa pag-skateboard. Kinuhanan ng video. Eh kaso sa kalagitnaan ng pag-e-exhibition nu'ng bagets, biglang may makabagbag-damdaming ingay ng preno galing sa kung saan. At hindi nila kinaya ang sumunod na eksena. Hindi nila inaasahan kung ano ang ginawa ni lola sa kup*l na driver.

Kaya ang ending, na-forward na nang na-forward sa kung kani-kaninong email.


Pa-convertible-convertible pa, 'di naman makaubra sa matanda. Nyahahaha!

Sabi nga ni Wanda Sykes sa isang stand up n'ya: You shouldn't piss an old lady. Because she doesn't give a f*ck.

Kung Paanong Muntik Na Akong Mag-Pasko sa DBP-Commonwealth

Siempre hindi naman totoong du'n ako nag-Pasko. Malayo pa naman ang Pasko. Hindi totoo 'yung pronouncement ng isang dating colleague ko na, "August na. -Ber na." Ngarag lang s'ya nu'ng nasambit n'ya 'yun.

Idiotic expression lang 'yun, you know "A group of words that have a specific meaning different from the translation of each individual word making up the expression." 'Yung sinabi kong du'n ako nag-Pasko; hindi 'yung adik-adik na sinabi nu'ng dating colleague.

Pakiramdam ko lang, ganu'n. Hindi 'yung adik na dati kong colleague; ang ibig kong sabihin ay 'yung parang du'n na ako nag-Pasko sa Development Bank of the Philippines - Commonwealth.

Kasi naman dumating ako du'n kanina shortly after 1pm. Magkakamal lang ako ng pera by encashing 'yung tseke na sinweldo ko sa pagiging isang public school teacher. Medyo mainit ang sikat ng araw, at medyo bibo si Manong Driver ng UP-Pantranco. Kaya naman 'yung maligamgam kong ulo eh muntik nang umabot sa boiling point [considering na gawa ito sa lead]. Buti na lang at nakarating muna kami ng Philcoa bago ako nagmistulang rebentador.

Tapos pagdating sa DBP-Commonwealth, as usual:

Ang Angel Of Death Ko Ay Isang "Tuna"

Ang pinaka-common na description ng angel of death ay yung buto at bungo na naka-hood na may bitbit na malaking karet.

'Yung iba ang sabi ay 'yun ang mga kaluluwa ng mga kamag-anak na nauna nang namatay.

Sa film na City of Angels, sila ay mga taong naka-trench coat na kamukha ni Nicolas Cage.

At ayon kay Neil Gaiman, dalagita 'yun na payat, maputla at anime ang buhok.

Para sa 'kin, ang angel of death ay "tuna."

Nalaman ko nung isang araw na may palengke pala sa likod nitong village kung saan ako nakatira. Halos dalawang taon na akong nakatira rito pero nu'n ko lang 'yun nalaman. Kaya pinuntahan ko agad.

Isa sa mga nabili ko ay kalahating kilong "tuna." May quotation marks kasi akala ko tuna.

Hangga't maaari, hindi ako bumibili ng sariwang pagkain sa palengke tulad ng baboy, baka, manok at isda. Hindi ako maarte. Takot lang ako sa sakit dahil mahirap at magastos.

Pero hindi ko malaman kung ano ang pumasok sa isip at nu'ng nakita ko yung malalaking "tuna," eh hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko. Siguro kasi paborito ko ang isda. Halos lahat ng klase. Pwede akong hindi makakain ng baboy, baka at manok habambuhay. 'Wag lang fish. Malay ko ba namang ja-jackpot ako.

Kahapon pa lang nahilo na ako matapos kong kainin 'yung buntot na part. Sobrang sakit ng ulo. I thought it was stress kasi medyo ngarag-ngaragan the past few weeks. Akala ko rin nasobrahan ako sa MSG dahil ginamitan ko ng sinigang mix. My head ached na parang minamartilyo. Isang dambulahang martilyo--kasi hindi 'yung sentido ko lang ang masakit. 'Yung buong bungo ko.

I seldom get sick. I can easily feel if something is wrong with me, and I immediately take actions to prevent it from getting worse. So 'yung naramdaman ko yesterday and last night was really terrible. It was new for me. I went to bed, feeling like throwing up and I woke up every thirty minutes or so dahil sa sakit ng ulo. Anyway I survived the night.

This morning when I woke up, I was feeling a little better. So I tried to do a bit of work, watched episode 18 to the finale of the first season of Smallville, did some reading and had lunch. Yup, I had grilled "tuna" with butter and lots of rice for lunch.

Yup, I think I have to concede--the light's on. Sadly, though, no one's home.

Then it started again. My head felt like it was going to explode. It was only then that I realized that I might be having food poisoning. So I made myself throw up. Not a very pretty sight, I know.

Anyway, to cut this pathetic story short, I called my friend Job when I had enough strength [and when I was scared enough that I might die] to dial my cell and talk. I asked him to bring me something for the headache.

When my headache began to subside, and I wasn't feeling nauseous anymore, he told me that maybe what I ate wasn't tuna. Maybe it was tulingan [or skipjack tuna].

Damn! Stupid stupid stupid me. I had always heard that preparing tulingan was tricky. Well at least that was less gross than what I originally thought--that I had tuna soaked in formaldehyde.

Moral of the story: never again will I buy fresh food at the palengke. It just isn't worth it. I would only buy those things frozen and with appropriate and legible labels.

And maybe I'll just stick to bangus.

Ships' 45 accidents listed: Lloyd's details Sulpicio's 28-year history

Sulpicio Lines should apply for a Guinness for having made the most number of people buy tickets for their own death.

I have always preferred traveling by boat. First time I ever got on a boat was in 1989, on my way to Cotabato City. About a year earlier, MV Dona Paz sank, and supposedly, one of my high school classmates's father died in that tragedy.

But that news didn't stop me from going on-board MV Cotabato Princess. My justification for avoiding airplanes as much as possible has always been: If the plane crashed, I'd surely die because I couldn't fly. But if the boat sank, I could at least try to swim.

But apparently that is crap.

Anyway, here's the very first article I saw on Inquirer when I went online this morning.


By Leila Salaverria
Philippine Daily Inquirer

First Posted 00:39:00 07/13/2008

MANILA, Philippines—Sulpicio Lines Inc., owner of the MV Princess of the Stars that sank off Sibuyan Island in Romblon last month at the height of Typhoon "Frank (international code name: Fengshen)," has a disturbing history.

For the past 28 years, its ships have not only sunk but have also collided with other vessels, caught fire, stalled at sea for several days, and run aground.

The maritime information database www.lloydsmiu.com has recorded incidents involving Sulpicio Lines vessels from 1980 to 2008. The record includes the June 21 sinking of the Princess of the Stars--the seventh sinking incident to involve the shipping company.

In all, Sulpicio Lines has had 45 sea accidents since 1980.

Of the Sulpicio Lines vessels, six have collided with other ships, six have caught fire, seven have had engine problems and stalled at sea, and 19 have run aground.

The deadliest incident was the 1987 sinking of the MV Doña Paz after it collided with the MT Vector. As many as 4,300 people are believed to have died in the worst peacetime disaster in history.

Although the Doña Paz was involved in a collision, the incident was classified as a sinking in the data provided by Lloyd's MIU.

The next deadliest incidents were the sinking of the Doña Marilyn in October 1988 and the Princess of the Orient in September 1998 (with 150 fatalities each), and the Princess of the Stars last month.

At present, only 57 of the 864 people on board the Princess of the Stars have been found alive. Hundreds of bodies are believed trapped inside the ill-fated ship that left Manila for Cebu City.

Reached on the phone, Sulpicio Lines lawyer Arthur Lim said he had no comment.

No casualties

Another sinking incident involved the Sulpicio Container I (1980), with no casualties.

There were also no casualties reported in the six collisions involving Sulpicio Lines vessels--the Palawan Princess, which collided with the MV Wilcon VI at the Manila North Harbor (1992); the Filipina Princess, with a Uni-Modest vessel at the entrance of the Manila North Harbor (1993); the Iloilo Princess, with the MV Solid Pearl near the Manila North Harbor (1997); the Sulpicio Container V, with the MV Asia Malaysia at Fort San Pedro, Iloilo (2000); the Princess of Paradise, with the MV LSC Cagayan de Oro off Cebu (2003); and the Sulpicio Express Dos, with the tank barge Golden Arowana 3 off Corregidor (2005).

The six Sulpicio Lines vessels reported to have caught fire were the Philippine Princess (1989); the Princess of the Orient, then refueling at the Manila North Harbor (1997); the Dipolog Princess, then undergoing repair at Pier 7 in Cebu (2000); the Tacloban Princess, then docked in Ormoc, and where two people died (2002); the Iloilo Princess, then docked at Pier 4 in Cebu (2003); and the Princess of the World, then at sea off Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte (2005).

The seven incidents of vessels being stalled at sea involved the Filipina Princess, whose engine broke down twice (in November 1992 and March 1996); the Cotabato Princess, whose engine also broke down twice (July 2002 and March 2004); and the Princess of the Ocean, whose engine encountered problems three times (October 2002, March 2004 and June 2007).

The Sulpicio Lines vessels that ran aground were the Doña Paulina (1980); Don Victoriano I (1982); Sulpicio Container X (1986); Philippine Princess (1990 and 1997); Palawan Princess (1990 and 1995); Cagayan Princess (1990); Surigao Princess (1996); Princess of the Caribbean (1998); Tacloban Princess (1999); Cotabato Princess (2001); Dipolog Princess (2003 and 2007); Cebu Princess (2003); Princess of Paradise (2003); Princess of the Pacific (2004); Filipina Princess (2006); and the Princess of the Universe (2006).

'Correct but incomplete'

According to data earlier provided by Philippine Coast Guard sources, Lloyd's MIU has recorded 33 maritime incidents involving the vessels of Sulpicio Lines from 1980 to 2008. A source said the information came from maritime industry insiders.

When validated by Inquirer Research, Lloyd's MIU investigations/research manager Arne Hanssen said the data were "correct, but incomplete."

With Hanssen's comments, the total number of maritime accidents involving Sulpicio Lines ships rose from 33 to 45.

Lloyd's MIU said that:

The sinking of the MV Doña Paz in December 1987 led to the loss of "more than 2,000 people."

The Princess of the Stars "sank off Sibuyan Island after grounding, following engine trouble, [leaving] 150 dead and 700 missing."

The other ships that sank were the MV Carmen in 1987 and the Boholana Princess in December 1990.

300-year history

According to its website, Lloyd's MIU has "a 300-year-old history in providing information to the maritime world."

It provides data on vessel movement, ownership, characteristics and casualties, as well as port information and in-depth company information.

Lloyd's MIU data are published online, and in books and magazines. The data are compiled from various sources, including Lloyd's Agency Network of 700 agents and sub-agents, leading registries and classification societies and major company registries all over the world.

Its principal offices are located in the United Kingdom, the United States and Singapore. It employs its roster of analysts and researchers in Athens, Barcelona, Mumbai and Vancouver.

People Like Us

I'm re-posting this from Libay's blog. Hopefully more people would be aware that this kind of sh*t still happens.

I was actually denied entrance to Ever Gotesco-Commonwealth back when I was in college because I was wearing flip-flops. I was pissed because I just wanted to watch a movie after a couple of days of shooting nonstop for our class prod. And I could see there were Caucasians inside that godforsaken-dumpsite-they-call-a-mall in sleeveless and sandals.

Potek! Gotesco lang 'yun.


Tsaka, oo nga naman: kanino bang bansa 'to?!


PEOPLE LIKE US An Open Letter of a Transgender Woman in the Philippines
[25 May 2008 / Sunday / 6.04 AM to 6.45 AM]

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. - Eleanor Roosevelt
My friends and I have been made to feel inferior approximately five hours before I wrote this letter. I'd like to sweep this incident under the proverbial rug but there is no more space to accommodate it.

On the 24th of May 2008, my friends and I were celebrating the anniversary of our organization the Society of Transsexual Women of the Philippines (STRAP), the first transsexual women's support group and transgender rights advocacy organization in the Philippines. We settled to celebrate it in Ice Vodka Bar, located in Greenbelt 3, 3rd level Ayala Center, Makati City, Metro Manila. It was my first time in that bar. Two in our group have been there before and they had nothing bad to say about it.

There were five of us. I was leading the way. The bouncer stopped us. I asked why. His reason was we were dressed "inappropriately". We were rather dressed decently, tastefully, and most importantly just like any other human being who lives her life as female 24 hours a day.

I asked for the manager. The bouncer was nice enough to let me in. The manager,Ms Belle Castro, accommodated me. I don't know if I spelled her name right. I asked for a business card but she had none available. Her telling feature though was her braced teeth.

I complained. Ms Castro listened to me. I found her sympathetic, even respectful as she addressed me all throughout as ma'am. She told me the following:

1. (Referring to my friends, and obviously to me) That "people like them" aren't allowed in our bar every Fridays & Saturdays;

2. That that was an agreement between all the bars in Greenbelt (she

particularly mentioned their bar, Absinthe, and Café Havana) and Ayala Corporation, the company which owns the Greenbelt Complex;

3. That the reason for this policy is: "Marami kasing foreigner na nag-kocomplain at napepeke daw sila sa mga katulad nila." Loosely translated in English: "There are lots of foreigners complaining because they mistake people like them as real women"; and

4. That they have a "choice" to implement the policy.

I felt terribly hurt and uncontrollably agitated. This transphobic act is not the first time that it happened to me, to my friends, to people like us. To say that this has become almost a routine is an understatement.

I have shouted at Ms Castro several times, asking her why I'm f***ing experiencing racism in my own country and what gave f***ing foreigners the right to demand to block people like us to enter bars in our very own country.

Ms Castro tried to hush me by pulling the "It's our choice card" and asked me to talk decently. I am not proud at all of using the F-word as my intensifier and of letting my emotions ran raw and wild. My warm apologies to Ms Castro for losing my cool. Just like any of us, I know, she was just doing her job.

This may not be the proper forum to raise this concern. But is there any reliable legal forum to address this issue? Reality check: there is no antidiscrimination law in this country. And if you're discriminated, there seems to be a notion that you're supposed to blame yourself for bringing such an unfortunate event to yourself.

So, I'd just stand up through this open letter.

I am standing for myself. I am standing for people like us. I am standing up because I, am, very, tired of this incivility. We have long endured this kind of treatment for far too long. Enough.

I'll not go as far as campaigning for a boycott as it is definitely the simple workers that would suffer from any loss in revenue such an act may cause.

People like us would like to be treated just like any other human being. Just like those foreigners who complained about our existence: With dignity.

You know the civilized and ethical thing to do: Stop discrimination in your establishments.

Bigotry is never ethical nor a sound business strategy.

Warmly

Ms Sass Rogando Sasot

Sass is one of the founding members of the Society of Transsexual Women of the

Philippines (STRAP) [www.tsphilippines.com], an Associate Member of Transgender ASIA Research Centre, and a member of Ang Ladlad Party.

To have a dialogue with her regarding this incident, you may reach her at srsasot@... or through her mobile at +639276257010.
------

UPDATE:

Ice Vodka Bar apologized to us and is supporting our complaint to the administrators of Greenbelt Complex. Attached is the timeline of events.

Ice Vodka Bar is a breath of fresh air. I hope that the civility exercised by Ms Belle Castro
would set as a precedent to all bar managers in the Philippines.

The courageous women of the Society of Transsexual Women of the Philippines (STRAP) is standing up and we hope that you support us in confronting this irritatingly recurrent issue once and for all.

We are setting up a meeting with the security administrators of Greenbelt Complex to discuss
their "policy". We are excited about the developments of this case.

We will keep you posted. This is just the beginning.

Thank you.

Warmly
Sass Rogando Sasot

Timeline of Events: The Ice Vodka Bar Incident

25 May 2008 [Sunday] – Between 6:00 am to 12:noon

1. Sass wrote an open letter: People like us: An Open Letter of a Transgender Woman Activist in the Philippines

2. Sass emailed the open letter to her local and international contacts.

25 May 2008 [Sunday] Around 6:30 PM

1. Sass went back to Ice Vodka Bar to give the open letter to Ms Belle Castro.

2. Ms Castro signed-received the letter.

3. Ms Castro apologized to Sass and promised that the incident will never happen again to anyone. Ms Castro admitted that what she did is indeed discriminatory and wrong. Sass accepted the apology. She invited Sass and her friends to dinner in Ice Vodka Bar.

4. Ms Castro advised Sass to speak with the security administrators of Greenbelt regarding the "policy". She promised to show her support to Sass.

25 May 2008 [Sunday] Between 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

1. Sass went to the security department office located at the parking lot of Greenbelt 3.

2. She was received by Mr Leo Sarian, Acting Detachment Commander.

3. Sass narrated the story and gave the letter to Mr Sarian. Sass also filled up a complaint form. The open letter was attached to the complaint form.

4. Mr Sarian looked for the "policy" which they have. He told Sass that the policy is about profiling prostitutes circling around Greenbelt. They do surveillance for a week and confront them when they have established that they are indeed prostitutes. Mr Sarian emphasized that they don't have any directive to ban any group of people in Greebelt.

5. Sass informed him that Ms Castro, manager of Ice Vodka Bar, has told her of the policy of the security administrators.

6. Sass told them this incident didn't just happen to her, that it happened to her other friends as well and to other people. They are not just complaining. She informed them that Havana is actually notorious about banning people like her in their bar. And that the often cited reason is the policy cited by Ms Catro.

7. Engr. Fritz Tiglau and Engr Patric Andaya came, the administrators (?) of Greenbelt, came. Sass narrated the story to him.

8. Sass told them that banning people like her just because there were those who were using Greenbelt as their prostitution hub is like banning ALL Filipinos in a particular country just because there are few Filipinos who were prostituting themselves.

8. Sass requested these three things:

1. Clarification of the "policy" and its repeal if it's discriminatory.

2. A meeting with the people concerned: the bars in Greenbelt and the security administrators of Greenbelt.

3. A public apology be made.

9. Engr. Tiglau signed-received the open letter and promised that the complaint will be given high priority, that it will be forwarded to higher authorities, and that they will inform Sass about it immediately on Monday.

1. Sass met with Nadine and Dee. They had dinner with Ms Belle Castro in Ice Vodka Bar.

2. Ms Castro apologized to Nadine and Dee. They accepted Ms Castro's apology.

3. Sass asked Ms Castro to formalize her apology by writing a letter. Ms Castro complied.

25 May 2008 [Sunday] 10.57 PM

1. Sass received Ms Belle Castro's apology through her email.

Prepared by:

Sass Rogando Sasot

AND THE VERY LATEST UPDATE:
Dear flowers of the world

I am very happy that Ayala Property Management Corporation is acting expediently on my complaint. The development of this case is just very promising and exciting.

1. On Monday Mr Dennis Galimba, Operations Engineer of Ayala Property Management Corporation and head of the customer service department of all Ayala Malls, called me to inform me that he will be the main contact person for this case. And that they are giving high priority to this case.

He hasn't mentioned any "ordinance". But he mentioned that prostitution activities (of whichever gender) is really not allowed in their malls. I told him that I understand it as prostitution is really against the law; we can't do anything about it but obey the law. I am not even defending prostitution.

He outlined to me their policy regarding monitoring prostitutes in their malls.

a. They "discretely" monitor "suspected" prostitutes
b. After they have established that there's indeed "transactions" going on between their suspects and customers they invite them to their security office.

2. I told Mr Galimba that that is their written policy. But according to Ms Belle Castro, Manager of Ice Vodka Bar, the security administrators of Greenbelt complex advised them to refuse entry to people like me because there are foreigners complaining about our presence. And they refuse us entry on account of "dressing inappropriately".

I told Mr Galimba that Ms Belle Castro has promised to support my complaint.

3. Mr Galimba said that if it's that thing that is happening, that is really discriminatory. I also raised the issue of Cafe Havana. Mr Galimba is oblivious of what's really happening.

4. I also told Mr Galimba that I'm not the only one who experienced this in Greenbelt, that there are lots of us and that they are just being silent about it because they are Ayala Corporation. And that they take action on this issue as soon as possible.

5. I suggested that we are willing to participate to them in making Greenbelt complex discriminatory free as well as help in preserving the decency of the place. Mr Galimba is excited about it.

6. I stressed again that Greenbelt Complex should declare publicly that they are discriminatory free.

7. After our talk, Glen Danugrao, Security Supervisor assigned at Greenbelt Mall, texted me and informed me that there will be a meeting on Thursday (May 29) with Ice vodka Bar, other bars in Greenbelt, and the security administrators regarding the incident. I will attend this meeting. They will also furnish me a copy of the minutes of the meeting.

That's all for now.

Warmly,

Jabba The Futt Slutt Strikes Again

Humirit na naman 'yung majobese na journalist kuno aka Malu Fernandez aka The Blob aka Jabba The Futt Slutt.

S'ya 'yung bumalaj sa ating mga abang OFW. Ngayong naman ang tinitira n'ya ay 'yung mga blogger.

HAHRRR! Nakakainit ng dugo itong walking cholesterol na ito. Nagkakalat ng sebo.

Eh kinangina/tinangama naman 'yung Manila Standard, ipinrint pa.

Heniwey, baka alam n'yo na rin naman dahil panis na 'tong article na 'to. Just the same, here it is.

Wait! Lilinawin ko lang: Opo, sandamakmak po talaga ang ellipses, 'yung ellipsis sa title ay APAT na tuldok, at non sequitur ang mga argumento. Sus! Saan ba nag-grade one ito? At wala bang editor na tumingin man lang sa "article" n'ya?

The problem with blogging....
By Malu Fernandez

Just this morning I got a text telling me to check out some blog with juicy gossip about the so called “Gucci Gang” curiously enough I logged on and read all the gossip and juicy details. Whether or not the stories were true I didn’t really care to find out nor do I care to be involved. It makes no difference in my life who did what to whom it was just a leisure gossip read and I was just one of the many people who read the blog but halfway through I became quite disturbed as it made me reminiscent of the numerous blogs I was once the hot topic of.

Before I go any further I must stress the point that this is not about my previous issue, but simply the point of view of someone who has been a victim of vicious blogging and blogging as a new communication medium. To those of you who are mass/volume or dense (that’s the physics formula for density to those who are clueless) again, I repeat this is not a reaction toward my past actions.

So let me continue, first of all I believe in the freedom of speech. By all means say what you need to say. Unfortunately for most of the bloggers without advertising you get paid nothing. If in fact you do get paid then hooray for you. But blogging, aside from Perez Hilton and the other big time bloggers (you know who you are) is for me a slacker job or a medium and pastime for lonely people to connect. Unless you’re in bloody Siberia or in a Gulag prison, try stepping outside your comfort zone and turn off the laptop or pc, you just might find some real live people to talk to instead of typing away in cyber space.

On the flipside blogging can be a good source of information and a great way to exchange ideas. This I strongly encourage whether it is about politics, fashion, food or whatever topic you may choose. Friendly and healthy discussions are always great.

The difference between a journalist and a blogger is that journalists have to adhere to certain guidelines that govern the freedom of speech. And whatever a journalist chooses to write about—be it popular or unpopular—we do not hide behind an anonymous name and are resigned to the fact that we have to take as much as we dish out. However, I simply detest people who place vicious comments and slanderous statements in blogs yet sign their messages as ‘anonymous.’ If you have something to say, don’t hide behind a false name. It’s just plain cowardice of you to do so. I have more of a deep sense of respect for those—however unpopular or vicious their statements are—who post their views with their real names and make no bones about it. At least they stand for something; I would rather take it from them than the cowards that hide behind false names.

Perhaps it is the Filipino culture to foster backstabbing because they never mean what they say face to face. Just how many times have you dealt with co-workers who will smile in your face when you ask them to perform a task or engage in just plain conversation, when in fact they are quite uncomfortable with the situation and are forced to do what they absolutely detest with a smiling face. I guess it’s the kind of culture brought about by 300 years of Spanish colonization. To one particular blogger of Spanish descent but with an Indio face, don’t act like a peninsulares and quote Spanish words from the generation of your abuelita... jeez and they call me elitist. The Spanish rule is over, get over yourself and your Español relatives who used to have power... but I digress (oops, my bad...) Let’s move forward.

It’s just like all this hullabaloo about ousting GMA. You deposed ERAP in Edsa Dos. Now you’re unhappy with his replacement. Make up your minds. (For the record I’m not pro anybody I’m pro whatever lesser evil is out there). You can’t overthrow one president then decide you made a mistake with your second choice. I’s not like buying a green Hermes bag and suddenly deciding, oops I should have gotten the black one instead. Unfortunately that’s the kind of nation we have become, a bunch of wishy-washy whiners who whine about everything under the sun and found the blog sphere to be the new medium for whining. Yes we do what we have to do as a nation to get things done and stop corruption and evil (I’m all for that) but we never seem to be happy with what we have, hence the complaining and whining. It just never stops.

I suppose I started some kind of trend by eliciting nasty comments and reactions via blog because of my indiscretion. But it seems to be a comfortable medium for people to vent their anger on just about everything they disagree with. I have been called an irresponsible journalist so what does that make you? It is easy to hide under the guise of anonymity you can say just about anything you want because you have no repercussions to deal with. It’s easy to hide behind a false moniker isn’t it?

Just a thought to ponder on... Maybe I should start an anonymous blog and really let go... but then again I don’t want to be responsible for World War Three and I would sleep much better being brutally honest in your face than hide behind an anonymous name. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if I started a blog just to shake things up and got a ton of money in advertising? If I do decide to do that I thank you all in advance for inspiring me… I’m always a glass half full kinda girl anyway...

My Way Deaths, Urban Legend No More

Last night my nephew was watching the local news on TV when I overheard the story about a guy getting killed at a videoke bar while he was singing the deadly My Way. I don't remember much of it except that when My Way started playing, the victim took the mic from someone. And then that someone got pissed and killed him.

I thought it was just a funny urban legend. Apparently I was wrong. People really get killed because of My Way. It's absurd.

It may sound insensitive, but i think it's a stupid way to die. So stupid it deserves a Darwin.
