Garfield Freak

I estimate that I read about 30 - 40 Garfield comic strips per day. At this rate, I'll run out of Random strips soon and I'll have to begin to get reruns. And soon after that, I'll have to go to the first strip and work myself forward in order to squeeze out every strip that was ever drawn. And soon after that, I'll have to wait for 24 hours just to get my Garfield fix.
 
I hope this addiction doesn't get that far. =P

Random Strip

I'm loving my Garfield iGoogle Gadget! It has a Random Strip function that gives me an instant gratification for my comical hunger.
 
When I need a logical break, I just open my browser -- I have set iGoogle as my home page -- and click Random Strip. And huala! A new comic strip appears. If that is not enough, I can do it again and again and again. It's so convenient! I love it! Hehehe.
 
Garfield makes me laugh.
 
But I'm glad he's not my cat.

Papaya

Taken without permission from here.
 
Papayas offer not only the luscious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium; and fiber. Together, these nutrients promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer. In addition, papaya contains the digestive enzyme, papain, which is used like bromelain, a similar enzyme found in pineapple, to treat sports injuries, other causes of trauma, and allergies.
 
...
 
Papayas are also a good source of fiber, which has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels. The folic acid found in papayas is needed for the conversion of a substance called homocysteine into benign amino acids such as cysteine or methionine. If unconverted, homocysteine can directly damage blood vessel walls and, if levels get too high, is considered a significant risk factor for a heart attack or stroke.
 
Point: Papaya is good.
 
This one is taken from another website (also without permission).
 
Papaya (like aniseed) is estrogenic, meaning it has compounds that act as the female hormone estrogen. It has been used as a folk remedy in promoting menstruation and milk production, facilitating childbirth and increasing the female libido.
 
Point: Papaya is really good.

Rey's poem

This is a poem shared to me by a friend.
 
Reluctance
 
Out through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.

The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last long aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question 'Whither?'

Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

Ateneo official rallies support for embattled Panlilio

MANILA, Philippines -- A youth leader at the Ateneo de Manila University is rallying support for Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio who has come under fire from local officials over his exposé of alleged bribery in Malacañang.

Harvey Keh, director for Youth Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship of the AdMU's School of Government, urged the public to send an email of support for the embattled governor at wesupportgovpanlilio@gmail.com.

"I'd like to ask for a few minutes of your time to send an email of support to Governor Ed Panlilio. Let us all tell him that we are behind him in his quest for the Truth,'' he said in an email.

"What is at stake here is not only the people of Pampanga but the nation as a whole. Governor Ed exposed what has long been happening in Malacañang and now he is being punished for it. Will you do something about it?''

Keh said that Panlilio has come under fire from local officials in the province since his exposé.

"Right now, local officials in Pampanga led by Vice Governor Yeng Guiao are ganging up on him and marginalizing him by not respecting his authority as governor,'' he said.

Some media publications in the province were also being used to "destroy his credibility,'' he added.

Panlilio admitted receiving a P500,000 cash gift following a breakfast meeting with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in Malacañang on October 11. Some congressmen later followed suit.

The President disclaimed any knowledge of the handouts that came on the heels of a fresh complaint to impeach her over a controversial broadband deal with a Chinese firm, among others.

Occidental Mindoro Representative Ma. Amelita Villarosa, a member of the President's party, Kabalikat ng Mamamayang Pilipino (Kampi), said that Kampi was the source of P500,000 given each to at least two congressmen.

Keh said that Panlilio has been performing well in less than six months in office, but has now become the object of black propaganda.

He said for instance that the governor managed to raise a certain amount of quarry taxes in two months, which his predecessor raised in a year.

The mayors and board members are now demanding part of this collection money, and were blackmailing the governor by threatening not to pass key legislation that will benefit the people of Pampanga, according to Keh.

"Isn't this a familiar refrain in our country? Someone does good and yet he is often punished for doing what is right. And worse, while this is happening, many of us just turn a blind eye, without doing anything,'' he said.

"It is no wonder why majority of our government leaders are becoming bolder and bolder in becoming corrupt since for them, no one would dare complaint about it.''

Keh said the Filipinos deserved the current crop of leaders "because we continue to do nothing despite the fact that we see there is something wrong.''

He said that any email of support would be printed and given to Panlilio "to show him that he is not alone in his quest for the Truth.''

"Let us show the world that the Filipino people will not just allow another Good Man to fail and let evil prevail,'' he said.
