Ang Taba Ko!

Wala naman ata saatin na choice ang maging mataba.
Kahit anong sabihin natin, hindi maganda ang mataba.

Kaya nga ako nag-didiet, kasi gusto kong pumayat.
Hindi naman ako mataba, gusto ko lang pumayat pa ng onti.
Pero gusto ko kumain.
Kaya ang diet ko, yung no carb diet.
You can eat all you want, basta walang carb.
Pag ganun kasi, hindi ko pinaparusahan ang sarili ko.

Meron naman, exag ang pagpapayat.
Kagaya nitong si Isabelle Caro.

Buddhism in Daily Life

Human Revolution

Buddhism is characterized by an emphasis on the possibility of inner transformation--a process of bringing forth our full human potential. There is a common perception that the discipline and focus necessary for such a process requires a set of ideal circumstances not available to most. Nichiren Buddhism, however, teaches that it is only by squarely facing the challenges that confront us amidst the harsh contradictions of society that we can carry out the task of changing our own lives and the world for the better.

"Human revolution" is the term used by second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda to describe a fundamental process of inner transformation whereby we break through the shackles of our "lesser self," bound by self-concern and the ego, growing in altruism toward a "greater self" capable of caring and taking action for the sake of others--ultimately all humanity.

As SGI President Daisaku Ikeda explains: "There are all sorts of revolutions: political revolutions, economic revolutions, industrial revolutions, scientific revolutions, artistic revolutions...but no matter what one changes, the world will never get any better as long as people themselves...remain selfish and lacking in compassion. In that respect, human revolution is the most fundamental of all revolutions, and at the same time, the most necessary revolution for humankind."

The question of how to change in a positive direction is one which has spawned countless theories, religions and publishing empires. Certainly, self-discipline and effort can enable us to make positive change, for example by starting to exercise regularly. But the willpower required is often hard to maintain; our self-control may slip at a crucial moment because we have not addressed the underlying, inner causes of our behavior.

Human revolution is the work of transforming our lives at the very core. It involves identifying and challenging those things which inhibit the full expression of our positive potential and humanity. Nichiren Buddhism is based on belief in a pure, positive and enlightened condition of life which exists equally within all people. This life state of "Buddhahood" is characterized by the qualities of compassion, wisdom and courage which enable us to create something of value from any situation. Nichiren realized that the deepest process of change and purification takes place when we bring forth this state, and he taught the practice of chanting "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" as the direct and immediate means for accessing and experiencing it.

This Buddha nature expresses itself in concrete ways. First, we gain the conviction that our life contains limitless possibilities and a profound sense of our human dignity. Second, we develop the wisdom to understand that things that we previously thought impossible are in fact possible. And third, we develop a powerful vitality that allows us to tackle our problems with a sense of inner liberation. We are thus empowered to pursue our own human revolution, striving to improve our "self" from yesterday to today and making the "self" of tomorrow better still.

In some traditions of Buddhism, interpretations of the law of cause and effect can encourage a focus on negative past causes. The obstacles and challenges encountered in life may be seen as requiring lifetimes of effort to "clean up." The message of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Buddhism is that through faith and practice we can reveal Buddhahood: our highest, most enlightened state of life right now, just as we are. This enlightened wisdom enables us to grasp the reality that circumstances which may seem the most unfortunate, be it seemingly incurable illness or bereavement, can actually provide the best opportunities for tackling our human revolution and the impetus for the greatest personal growth.

When we look beyond our personal concerns and take action for the sake of others, this process is strengthened and accelerated. An experience which previously seemed like an unjust burden can become the key to finding the purpose of our lives, as we learn how to help others struggling in a similar situation.

This individual process of human revolution is the very key to sparking change on a global scale. For, as Daisaku Ikeda writes, "A great human revolution in just a single person will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, will cause a change in the destiny of all humankind." Taking responsibility for transforming our own lives is the first step toward creating a human society based on compassion and respect for the dignity of all people's lives.

Mooncake Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival (Simplified Chinese: 中秋节; Traditional Chinese: 中秋節; pinyin: zhōngqiūjié), also known as the Moon Festival, is a popular East Asian celebration of abundance and togetherness, dating back over 3,000 years to China's Zhou Dynasty. In Malaysia and Singapore, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or "Mooncake Festival", which is just the same as "Mid-Autumn Festival" but with different names.

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar (usually around mid- or late-September in the Gregorian calendar), a date that parallels the Autumn Equinox of the solar calendar. This is the ideal time, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, to celebrate the abundance of the summer's harvest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year), and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together.

Accompanying the celebration, there are additional cultural or regional customs, such as:

Eating moon cakes outside under the moon
Putting pomelo rinds on one's head
Carrying brightly lit lanterns
Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang'e
Planting Mid-Autumn trees
Lighting lanterns on towers
Fire Dragon Dances

Yipee!

Oh Holy "Shit" Night

Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
The -BER months have already started.
It's christmas soon.
Pero hindi yun ang kwento ko.

Tauhan:

1. Akech - ang pinakamaganda (maaaring di tunay na pangalan)
2. Karen - ka-org ko (maaaring di tunay na pangalan)
3. Esta - schoolmate (maaaring di tunay na pangalan)
4. Kuya - BS nursing
5. Ate - isang UST-AB girl
6. Manang 1 - kasama sa jeep
7. Manang 2 - taga-Lawton

Lugar:

Jeep at Lawton CR

Kuwento:

Galing kami UST.
Sumakay ng jeep pa puntang Lawton.
Nasa left side kami ni Karen, Esta (hindi ko alam na kasabay pala namin siya) at Ate.
Nasa right naman si Kuya.
Katabi ko pala si manang 1.

Chika-chika lang kami ni Karen sa jeep.
Pag-akyat namin ng tulay ng Quiapo, BAG! (ndi yung lalagyan ah.. sound effects yan!) May tumapon sa mga tao sa jeep.

Ano ito?
Ito ba ay: a) tubig, b) putik, c) bato or d) none of the above.
Ang sagot ay D) none of the above, sa kadahilanang ang tumapon saamin lahat sa jeep ay, TAE. Yes you read it right, TAE. Feces, Manure, Shit!

Akala ko, tae lang ng ibon yung dumapo kay Karen, WIT!
Blo-e pala! Ang kyongking sa jeep!
Ako naman, I had my "fair" share of shit, meron lang akong spot.
Si Esta naman, meron sa hair and sa likod.
Si Ate naman, ang daming sho-e sa hair!

At ang nagwagi sa gabing iyon, ay walang iba kundi si KUYA!
Siya talaga ang savior ko.
Bkt?
Dahil sinalo nya lahat ng para dapat ay saakin!
sa right fez nya dumapo ang mga tae.
gosh! para siyang sinampal ng tae.
At ano ang sabi ni Manang 1 sa kanya (fyi, hindi pala natamaan si Manang 1),
"Ang dami mong tae sa buhok!"
Nampucha si Manang 1.
Ako habang nandidiri ang lahat sa pangyayari, siyempre ako din, tawa lang ako ng tawa.

Bumama ang lahat ng biktima sa Lawton kasi nandoon ang CR.
Go! Wash galore na ang lahat ng tao.
Si Manang 2, tangina! Ako pa ang nasisi kung bakit kami naganun.
Sabi pa nya, "Eh bakit kasi doon kayo dumaan?"
Ay puta ka Mamang 2, walang ibang daan dun!
Tulay nga eh! Putek!

Ng maayos ng lahat, sumakay na kami ng FX papuntang Las Piñas.
Tawanan galore.
Hanggang sa bahay.
Hanggang sa pagsulat ko ng entry na ito.

Oh, holy shit!

May gusto lang akong sabihan sa mga mal-edukado, punyetang mga batang yagit na yan..

Putanginang mga batang yagit na yan!
Mga masasama ang ugali!
Leche.
Mahihirap!
Patay gutom!
Dukha!
Sugpuin!
Patayin!

WALANG MAIISIP

Second time, in my blogging history
