“My heart has four chambers.” That was the reason I made to my Fil-Am girlfriend when she asked me “Bakit apat kami sa puso mo?”. That was the lamest reason I could think during that time. Perhaps I said that because I wanted to end our relationship already but in contrary, it did not. She actually lavished me with gifts and proposals to win me over. Was that real love? Coincidentally

People have their satiation points, that is, the point when one is fully satisfied with something that they start to lessen the demand for it and look for other alternatives. This is the reason why I crave for other food to substitute with chicken inasal because I am already too accustomed to its taste that I already find it unsatisfying. The demand for other alternatives, however, may not

And so the debate’s still on with the Church, particularly the CBCP, spearheading the anti-RH campaign. I don’t get it. Why is it that the Church continues on defying the very basic of human nature, that is, humans are capable of making a choice? I think the Church has to consider human nature in her effort to reject a bill that would provide Filipinos a choice to a quality life. Man is a

A housemate of ours got locked out for five-hours of our apartment and the culprit is no other than his own roommate. As a result, the poor guy nearly was not able to go to work for lack of sleep. I guess this is the worst, as far as I know, of what the culprit did to his roommate. Normally, the former would always hide the remote control from him. This housemate is not the favourite among the

The United States, the world’s super power faced its worst day on September 11, 2001 (09-11-01). Japan, one of the world's economic super power just faced its worst day on March 10, 2011 (03-10-11). Add the dates, it’s 12-21-12. This is the end of the Mayan calendar. The day the earth will end. This is what I’ve read from my wall posted by a friend. I immediately replied. “Wrong. Japan’s

And I thought blogging is a self-expression medium. The attempt of some groups to have a national bloggers’ association is rubbish. Associations are always bounded by rules and by rules come restrictions. Blogging has become an individuals’ expression and once you bound it that means you are curtailing someone’s freedom. Whoever thought of that has the mind of a politician or an autocrat.

It has always been one of my rules in life to “expect for the worst, yet hope for the best”. Perhaps the main reason why I adapt to this idea is because I don’t have control over other’s behaviour, or life could be just so unpredictable. Expect less and I could never be disappointed on what I would get. Last night I encountered a status from a FB buddy. I commented on it until he replied

January 1, 2011, I received this comment from a blogger friend. “You have influenced Sam in a lot of ways.” He said. I am not sure if that is good or bad but assuming that we were talking about the relationship of Sam, I somehow took it as bad. Not only once that I heard this from him so I think I need to rebut his statement. Four years of blogging and sharing my thoughts online about sex

Two years ago, I received a PSP from my sister and with that, she automatically becomes my favourite. I only enjoyed it for a while though, since I rather like to play games that make me sweat. Thus, I started allowing others to borrow it until our youngest in the family came to visit me one Christmas. I allowed him to play and keep the gadget the entire time he was with me. He loved it and

One of the most anticipated events in the University of the Philippines in the Diliman campus is the oblation run held every December 16th of each year.  I have heard about it and I myself wanted to witness it even once in my life.  However, for the many years that I have stayed with the university, I have not witnessed any runs.  Why?  For one, I do not support fraternities, thus it is just

Recent development in the aftermath of the hostage taking in Manila is that they discharge some three members of the SWAT team. Now there are three police officers unemployed. They might be heads of households. Without a source of income to feed their families, what are their options? Is it a wise decision just to discharge them without assessing or evaluating their credentials and previous

My boyfriend asked me if we could do threesome.  I concur with very much hesitation because I love him.  He then asked me if I have a friend who would like to be our third wheel.  Again with hesitation I felt obliged.  When we did it, I felt awful especially when I saw him doing it with my friend.  I thought it would be just for once but it occurred many times.  I do not like it but I keep on

I received an email today, a forwarded one with a subject “Who owns a house like this?” The email came from my boss, an MBA graduate from a reputable school. I thought this is in relation to an article of the most expensive house featured in Yahoo News so I clicked the email to read it. From the first photo, I already knew that this is not about the Yahoo article. The house is European style.

All actions have consequences. This is always what I believe. It is not “karma” for me but it is just how nature works. We always reap what we sow, they say. The yield or harvest however must not exceed what we have planted. There is this thing such as the limit or maximum. We could not go beyond.I was a graduating student when our professor hired me as his research assistant. One

I am not a believer of selfless love mainly because I have not seen one or known one and I guess humans cannot truly provide selfless love. The church with their priests who should exercise all the virtues that their faiths are espousing could not even provide such love. They are even the ones imposing commandments for their congregations to follow. Mothers are just the same. They also set

The raid that leads to the arrest of Jason Ivler, a fugitive wanted for several criminal charges stunned us yesterday for the reason that we were witnessing the drama unfolding in primetime television. We watched the police scaling the residence’s wall with a ladder. We watched how the mother replied calmly to the questioning of the police and even shepherding them to search the house. We

A co-worker once told me that he would like to stay as rank and file that he would not like to assume the position of chief if ever an opportunity knocks on his door. Years later, he assumed as officer-in-charge when our incumbent chief filed an emergency leave which consequently turned out as a resignation.

Once again, the Commission on Election rejected the bid for recognition and participation of the Ladlad Party to next year’s congressional race. One of the various reasons for the disapproval was that the claim of the party representative that gays and lesbians is a marginalize sector in the Philippine society is inconclusive or unacceptable. Is this a valid reason for denial?I really do not

People come and go. They come into our lives and then leave us. They are our friends, relatives, lovers, and complete strangers that somehow at one particular time or another made marks in our life. They come and go and we are just transit points until one or some of them would realize that they have reached their final destination, but until then, we could only play hosts, and they, our

There is no question about priorities when we are facing life-threatening situations. We would always choose our life first before others because practically and realistically speaking, how can we save others if we could not even help ourselves. Even our instinct would drive us to the survival ladder without thinking of the people unrelated to us. We want to live. We want to prolong our

The candidacy of Nonoy Aquino in the presidential race of 2010 is predictable. From the statement released by his celebrity sister during the funeral of their mom and former-president of the republic the intention is very clear, and no one just could disagree less that this is the best opportune time for him to run for the highest office to take advantage of the “yellow fever” outbreak that the

Miss Universe like any other pageants seeking for human beauty is really speaking of universality, not of individuality. It is about how beauty should be epitomized in the form of physical uniformity and mental congruity. It is about enhancement and transformation from what is natural to artificial.

In the future, there would be no more schools. Children would not pay for tuition anymore and spend 20 years of sitting in the classroom to know the basic things of life.

Intelligence is not for sale. There is no monetary value attach to it. It is a resource available in every human being. Everyone has it.

There is no such word as ethnophobia in my e-dictionary, so I Yahooed it. The results seem to point that it is some kind of disdain for other people. It could also stem from or lead to racism.

People would always feel like saying “What (your name) wants, (your name) gets.” It is a bratty and selfish idea but everyone would want to have control over things or people. Who would not want a friend who would always say “YES” to your needs even though you have nothing to offer in return? That is how selfless one can get.

"Is your company using pirated software? Software piracy is a crime. Don’t be an accomplice.” I read this on a poster inside an MRT train.

“Trick or treat.” Kids would state when they knock on your door on Hallow’s Eve or Halloween. The expected response would be to give the “trick or treater” something.

Kindness is not exclusive to the religious. It is suppose to be universal. It is a human thing even. However, to what extent are we going to express this one good value to others?

Last week there was a conundrum over the issue of using contraceptive methods in family planning. I think there was a bill being passed at congress about reproductive health and the Church was publicly airing her opposition. I really do not know the details but I think everyone knows what really the issue is. It is the classic anti-abortion stand of the Church.A dictionary defines abortion as

We all have experiences with earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and other natural disasters, and we also know how they wreak havocs to human lives. They are very familiar experiences and in fact, we are learning how to prepare of their impending effects. However, are we prepared to battle it out with something living just within our proximity? This is the theme of M

“Have you seen or read ‘The Secret’?” Raphael asked me. He is an online friend. My first impression of the title is it is some sci-fi or espionage story. “What is it all about?” I asked. “The Law of Attraction.” Raphael replied. This is all becoming interesting.I asked myself how one could make a “law” out of an attraction. I am thinking of a physical law, a scientific one. If this is so, the

Death is I think the most feared event in human life. It is a taboo even to talk about it. However, no matter how dreadful a topic it could be, no one escapes from its intrusion to one’s mind. No matter how we tried to shut it down from the recesses of our minds, it could still haunt us because death is always by our side.I am not afraid to die, what I fear is thinking how I would go about it.

The “fountain of youth” or the “elixir of life” was and has been the quest for ages for it provides immortality or eternal youth. Legend says that it is in Florida, others believed that it is in the Bahamas. Many has sought it and all failed. The legend remained a legend.Today, people started to believe that indeed the so-called “fountain of youth” is purely a myth. There is no such thing as

“There is no more truth out there.” That was a line I heard or thought I heard from “The Truman Show”, a movie that dealt with freewill, fear and truth. It is all about a life in simulated reality. Everyday, we woke up on a bed, unwrap from the sheets and step on a pair of slippers. We brush our teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste. We take a bath with soap, shampoo, conditioner and other

Was that last week that I made a conversation with one of my sensible blog mates here on blogosphere? No, that was just this week. We were talking about matters of the heart and then it led to last Sunday’s gospel. Once again, I am talking about the gospel. Nah, I am not religious, I am just addicted to the Holy Bible’s wisdom.What were we discussing about? We were talking about his love

The priest talked about greed today. He had two stories to start his homily. The first involves a monkey and the other one a bear.-----How do we catch a monkey? The priest asked.Put a banana inside a coconut with a hole. The hole must be just enough to let the hand of the monkey get in and grab the banana. Once the monkey would insert his hand inside the hole and grab the fruit, he could no

I am a barbarian. That is the term used for people of having no fraternity affiliations in the university where I once go to. Fraternities on the other hand seem to think they are a select group. If you’re not a “brother”, then you are an outcast. True, because they are looking at their perspective. It was in college that fraternities become real to me. I was in a freshmen orientation when

“Take that away from me. Please.” That was a lady officemate. “I am afraid of snakes!” She added.Someone brought a snake in our office? If there’s someone who would do that, that would be our officemate who have a brother who is a pet enthusiast. Being one guy who has not seen a snake up close and personal, I bring myself out of my nook to see the object of fear of the lady officemate. It

“No reactions.” How could one not react to a story/news that somehow ignites your sense of sensibility? It’s like you have been prevented from answering a call of nature. And hearing that from an admired personality is like adding insult to the injury.We participated in a competition where there are six competitors. The judges had passed a verdict ranking the six contestants. There are

Have you ever been told that you need to be proactive? I haven’t personally. But it is the motto of our department head and each time we have a meeting, she kept on telling us this one word. What prompt her to say that?In my kind of work, being a programmer for nearly ten years, I don’t always have the control over my output. I still rely on the inputs of other people. Without their inputs,

“Where did your name came from?” My teacher once asked me. “I think it is a derivative of my father’s and mother’s name.” That was the answer I gave not because my parents told me so but because I kind of figure that out. I think I was right. But then, it dawned to my consciousness that my classmates’ names were somewhat relevant and meaningful than mine. That time, I already questioned the

“If you cannot do what you are being told, maybe you’ll need to look for an office where you can be happy.” That comes from my supervisor. What a narrow-minded jerk he is considering he is supposed to be my friend. He didn’t even know the preceding circumstances to the problem or issue. “You haven’t changed it.” Our boss said when she saw the old corporate id displayed in our website. “Yes.

“You are my lucky charm.” An online friend told me several times as he hurdles each step of his employment quests. He has been telling me online that every time he would chat with me, an agency would call him for a job interview. And last two days ago, he informed me that he is choosing between two prestigious companies offering him different opportunities. “Weigh the opportunities. What are

It’s Father’s Day. Whose gimmickry is this? Is this a capitalistic endeavor or a religious celebration? I need an answer and so I turned to wikipedia.Father’s Day dates back from 1839 in “celebration of the fathers that went to war in the Battle of Iransop in which 123 fathers lost their lives defending the outpost.” I thought it was just a capitalistic undertaking to bolster the consumption

Home is where you live. Home is where your family is. Well, that is the most commonly believed concept of home and if I am to restrict myself to that definition, I think I’ve been homeless since I moved out from the dwelling place where my “family” used to live. But where is home really?Living with a single parent is difficult. I don’t know what to reason if both of my parents are required to

Every nations of the world seems to have their independence day. Even the world’s most powerful nation America has it, and would you believe that June 12 is both celebrated by us and Russia as its independence day? Well, initially for Russia because they changed it to Russia Day in 1998.Independence Day is always associated with freedom, be it from tyranny, oppression or domination. It is always

“You’ll die with a cookie in your mouth.” That’s neither a dream nor a vision I had predicting how I would die. It’s actually the result of a pop quiz I took some months ago. The result also shows that I am 14 percent evil.If you have seen the movie “7” where Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are chasing a serial killer who patterned his murders on the seven deadly sins, you would see how a person

We won our match but loose the game. Does that sound odd? Well, in our final game of badminton, our team played five matches: doubles for both men and women, singles for both men and women, and mixed doubles. We only won two matches so that means our team lost a point against our opponent. I’ve heard so much from our opponents. They were so confident that they will beat our men players and

Everything has a beginning, a reason or a purpose and so is this blog. I am starting this because I would like to erase the impression that I, the Tripper, have and has only one thing in mind and that is sex. I would like to disprove that. But the question is, “Is there really a need?”I think there is really nothing to prove for even sex exists in the mind. Everything exists in the mind. So,
