Simula pa lang, hindi ko talaga gusto si Posh. Siya ang least kong favorite sa Spice Girls. Melanie C talaga ang bet ko! Wit ko kasi bet ang boses ni Posh. Fine Posh siya, pero para saakin walang siyang ginagawa sa group. at Inagaw niya si David! Puta siya! Pero dahil sa mga susunod na pictures, gagawin ko lang maging si Posh lamang.. At bakit? Tignan ninyo!

Buddhist Thoughts
Even though one may encounter a wise teacher and the true sutra and thereby embrace the correct teaching, when one resolves to break free from the sufferings of birth and death and attain Buddhahood, one will inevitably encounter seven grave matters known as the three obstacles and four devils, just as surely as a shadow follows the body and clouds accompany rain. Even if you should manage to overcome the first six, if you are defeated by the seventh, you will not be able to become a Buddha.
(WND, 894) Letter to Misawa Written to Misawa Kojiro on February 23, 1278
Side Note:
The three obstacles are:
the obstacle of earthly desires;
the obstacle of karma; and
the obstacle of retribution (also obstacles caused by one’s superiors, such as rulers or parents).
The four devils are:
the hindrance of the five components;
the hindrance of earthly desires;
the hindrance of death (because untimely death obstructs one’s practice of Buddhism, or because the premature death of another practitioner causes doubts); and
the hindrance of the devil king.

significant pa ba saatin ang Independence Day? to some extent, saakin OO.. pero minsan, hindi na rin eh..
but I'm proud being a filipino.. ay, filipina pala..! hehehe.. super!
exag lang kasi ang freedom eh.. masyadong inaabuso ng mga ibang tao.. rally dito, rally doon.. may mga pinapatay.. may mga di pa rin mahanap..
dahil sa Independence Day.. what better way to celebrate it is to sing.. sing our national anthem..
ang malaking tanong? ano ang title ng ating national anthem?
if you answered, BAYANG MAGILIW.. PUKE KA!!!!!!!! if you answered, LUPANG HINIRANG.. MABUHAY KA!!!!!
next naman, kantahin mo nga!
oh, eto si manong.. pakinggan natin ang version niya.. take it away manong!

to refresh our minds sa lyrics.. sabay-sabay nating awitin.. with the accompaniment of Voices (sino sila? di ko rin sila kilala!)
Lupang Hinirang
Bayang Magiliw Perlas ng silanganan Alab ng puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay Lupang Hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil Sa dagat at bundok na simoy At sa langit mong bughaw May dilag ng watawat mo'y Tagumpay na nagnininging Ang bituin at araw niyan Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta Buhay ay langit sa piling mo Aming ligaya nang pag may mang-aapi Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo

My Buddhist Practice
Members of the SGI practice the Buddhism taught by the thirteenth-century Japanese monk Nichiren. At the core of Nichiren's Buddhism are the phrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and a mandala referred to as the Gohonzon.There are three basic elements to the practice of Nichiren Buddhism: chanting the phrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a prayer for oneself and others; studying the teachings of Nichiren; and making efforts to share the teachings of Buddhism, to spread the Buddhist perspective of life's inherent dignity and potential. SGI members perform a morning and evening practice known as Gongyo, which consists of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and reciting portions of the Lotus Sutra.
This is how and what I pray (chant)..
How does a famous singer does it? Let's listen to Ms. Tina Turner..
kanta pa lang nakakaiyak na! nakakaiyak talaga ang mga scenes sa latter part.. be attentive lang sa mga dialogues nila.. tagos na tagos.. grabe..!
for their promo sa Sharon.. nanuod me with friends.. tnx to Jhey for the seats.. below yung theme song.. they sang this sa Sharon..

Gay Flamingos
Naloka lang ako sa balitang napanuod ko sa CNN (courtesy of Yahoo! News).. about sa adoption ng freshly hatched eggs.. Carlos and Fernando ang names nila.. taray mga latina! kung iisipin mo, very gay talaga ang flamingo.. PINK ba naman dba? tpos ang lalandi pa nila kumilos.. naku, kailangan ng gawin official bird ang flamingo ng mga bakla!!
sabi nga sa research ko (well, copy paste!)
Like penguins, flamingos tend to swap partners each year and practice monogamy during that particular breeding period, but Carlos and Fernando have been together for five years, and a keeper at the reserve says they'll probably stay that way forever.
but what is really interesting about this is this..
"They are not picked on by the other birds. If anything they are afforded more respect because two males together can be a pretty fearsome prospect for the other flamingos."
dba? to think mga animals sila ah..
pero alam nila ang word na RESPECT..
Lola Aretha.. GO! Sabihin mo nga!

This post was inspired with LasTresEstrellas' nomination for comment of the month. This is not intended to start any debate of some sort about our own religions. This is an article (Q&A portion) of one of the UK members of Soka Gakkai International (my buddhist organization).
Q: There is currently an open rift in the Anglican Church about homosexuality. Is there anything similar in the Buddhist faith?
A: In Nichiren Buddhism and specifically SGI, the organisation I’m a member of, there is thankfully no rift to heal.
Q: Do you think there should be exemptions for religious groups in the proposed Sexual Orientation Regulations?
A: No! There should be no exemptions for any group where equality is concerned.
Q: Where does your faith stand on the issue of gay weddings?
A: As soon as civil partnerships became law we began to celebrate gay weddings at our head centre, Taplow Court. However, there have been many same-sex Buddhist ceremonies that have taken place over the years within SGI.
Q: When an openly gay man was elected as the Bishop of New Hampshire it provoked strong outrage. What does your religion feel about the appointment of gay men and women to prominent positions?
A: We have many LGBT people within our organisation in prominent positions. Currently the Young Men’s Leader of our USA branch is openly gay. The previous Young Men’s Leader of SGI-USA was also openly gay. Within SGI-UK, there are many national leaders who are lesbian and gay. LGBT members have been prominent throughout the history and growth of SGI across the world.
Q: In your experience, what do you think congregations really think about gay men and women?
A: As with any section of society you will find people who are homophobic. Although Nichiren Buddhism does not believe in discrimination, you’ll naturally find people within SGI who are. The difference here is the fact that our teachings say that there should be no discrimination and therefore the more you chant and bring forth your Buddhahood, the more you learn to accept.
I remember that I introduced someone to Buddhism who was homophobic. He didn’t realise that I was gay. The District (small group of local people who get together to meet and chant) he was in was full of lesbian and gay members. He was able to confront his homophobia and move forward. That’s the beauty of this Buddhism, you face your challenges and move on.
Q: What has been the reaction of your own congregation to the fact that you’re gay?
A: It has never been an issue. I’ve been openly gay since I was 15 / 16 years old. I’ve always known I was gay, so I’ve never hidden the fact. If someone has had an issue with it, then that’s their issue and not mine. If it’s an issue for them, I like to think that I’m assisting them in confronting their homophobia and moving forward in their life.
Q: Could you have come out to them say, ten to fifteen years ago?
A: Most definitely – I’ve been practising Buddhism for nearly 17 years now and it’s never been an issue for me.
Q: So what does your particular faith say about gay men and women?
A: Nichiren Buddhism doesn’t believe in homosexuality. Then again, it doesn’t believe in heterosexuality or bisexuality. It believes that first and foremost we are Buddhas, whatever sex, sexuality, gender, race etc, we happen to be is irrelevant. We are all equal regardless of what sexuality we are.
Q: Do they have a specific teaching or stance on homosexuality?
A: No. We base our faith and our teachings on the Lotus Sutra. In the Mahayana tradition the lotus Sutra is often regarded as the culmination (or quintessence) of Shakyamuni's teachings. The Lotus Sutra teaches that we are all equal and it was the first sutra to teach that women are equal to men – something that wasn’t widely accepted over 3,000 years ago when it was first taught.
There are no specific teachings on homosexuality as it just isn’t an issue.
Q: Even if they are in a loving and stable relationship many gay men are expected to be celibate. Is this a realistic expectation?
A: This is certainly not expected from within Nichiren Buddhism and SGI. I remember years ago there was a question from a young gay man to a senior leader about whether it was ok to have more than one sexual partner at the same time. The response that came back was basically yes, as long as all parties were aware of the situation.
Q: Have you experienced any homophobia from within your church?
A: Obviously church isn’t the correct term – however from within practicing members of SGI-UK, yes I have experienced homophobia. However as I mentioned earlier, just because people start to chant and practice Buddhism, it doesn’t mean that there won’t be any homophobia. It just means people haven’t had a chance to move their life forward on that particular aspect of their life.
Through chanting nam-myoho-renge-kyo you are able to confront all the negative aspects of your life and change them. Any form of discrimination, I believe, is negative, so sooner or later that person will be able to move forward and grow.
Q: What would you say to the people who are against gay men and women being openly active with their faith?
A: I believe that all people have a right to express whatever views they have. When they then start to use those views to tell me, or others, how to live, then they shouldn’t have that right. I have views on certain things, however I certainly wouldn’t want my views and opinions to interfere in other peoples’ lives, as long as they are not hurting or abusing others.
Q: Do you believe that homosexuality and the Church will ever comfortably sit side by side?
A: To be honest, I’m not sure; and to also be honest, I really don’t care. I stopped going to church when I was 15 years old because I was told that my homosexuality was wrong. I knew very strongly at the age of 15 what I was and who I was and I certainly wasn’t going to be told otherwise by anyone.
Q: So what would your religious gay utopia be like?
A: I think that within SGI we have that. There will always be people who disagree with me and my views and on homosexuality. However that’s the beauty of chanting and practising the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. Through our faith we can challenge, confront and move forward. The main point is that the ‘teachings’ are non-discriminatory.
The head of our organisation, Daisaku Ikeda, sends messages of support to the LGBT members, telling us to live with “confidence, pride and courage – to live true to yourself”. Where do you hear that from any head of a religious organisation nowadays?
Q: What would you say to anyone who was gay, had a strong faith but was finding it difficult to resolve their sexuality with the many anti-gay teachings?
A: I feel that each person needs to find what is best and suitable for them. If people want to believe in a God, yet find that their congregation, church etc is homophobic, then they have to try and reconcile that themselves. However, why be part of an organisation that doesn’t respect or accept you? Why only be tolerated?
