England Edge Closer, Admires Philippines

Wayne Rooney and Jermain Defoe both scored twice as England gave 58,000 fans, who refused to be beaten by a London travel nightmare, ample reward for their defiance with their biggest win in a competitive game since 1999.

      After hitting their part-time opponents for six at Wembley, just as they did against Luxembourg a decade ago, the Three Lions know a win against Croatia on September 9 will seal a place at next year's 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa with two games to spare.
      And if England make it, Fabio Capello will want Rooney in the same form as he has showed this season, his latest brace enough for him to streak clear in the FIFA World Cup qualifying sharp-shooters table with eight goals.
       Frank Lampard's effort was sandwiched in between and half-time substitute Defoe scored twice in as many minutes before Peter Crouch netted his 14th goal in 16 international starts to take England's overall tally to 26.
       While Defoe could be particularly pleased with his cameo, Rooney was the name on supporters lips as they began a journey home somewhat more testing than anything Andorra provided for their team.
         In a bid to get the most out of Rooney, Capello came up with a a rather simplistic hint for the Manchester United striker, get in front of the goal while it would be slightly silly to offer Sir Alex Ferguson any advice, given the wider role as he was given at Old Trafford, Capello's way is better.

Certainly the statistics, eight goals in seven qualifiers compared t0 12 in an entire Premier League season, seem rto bear that theory out.

Defoe took his chance well scoring twice, Johnson setting up the first to take his number of assists to three, in a similar manner to Rooney before Crouch tapped home after a woeful mistake from Alvarez.

Capello will realise his team must overcome far stiffer tests if they are to emulate the 1996 heroes who got long overdue medas to mark their achievement. But the signs are undeniably positive. And, one senses, in his own understated way, the Italian knows it and the Filipino knows it better. Because England is under Philippines.

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Coverage

Starting today, I will give some news, trivia, statistics and other information from time to time regarding football. This is for the coverage for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Text for the pics below

Many archaeological sites in the Philippines are actually burial grounds that go back several centuries, with the dead buried either as mummies, in burial jars inside caves, or inside coffins in church yards. The pre-colonial sites are often the most exciting because the dead were often buried with all kinds of goods, giving us glimpses not just of our ancestors' views about death but also their social life.
One burial site in Oton, Iloilo, believed to date between the 14th and 15th centuries, yielded a gold death mask, consisting of an eye mask, nose and mouth shield. This burial artifact tells us that the elite had it good, and were quite willing to splurge on luxuries. Our ancestors certainly found it important to take some of their wealth into the grave in a last show of status and prestige.

Gay Platonic Mutual Relationship

I can't!

I don't know. But it's pretty pathetic to be in a relationship without sex. I've undergone four serious relationships, two of these had this problem. Hot for two, or three months, then gone. Not even declining. ZERO. And I always asked...WHY??? And what is the point staying on if the sexual component is gone?

It's pretty tiring to f*ck around without assurance of companionship. You may have a taste of different recipes day in and day out, but maybe a lot of guys would agree with me that it is best to have an exclusive partner with whom you can have a healthy sexual relationship with. It is best to do it with a person YOU LOVE. And yes, I've seen the difference for myself.

For man-woman relationships (I don't want to call them "normal couples"), as per the law of marriage, the loss of sex, or lack of it thereof, is a ground for annulment. Although, many couples last even with sex disappearing after a few years, they stay because of the fact that their marriage are bonded by law, written on legal paper, and blessed in church with the accompanying marriage vows. A stronger reason could be the presence of kids to whom the focus of the marriage has shifted. Well it is reasonable indeed to stay on for their future and to redirect goals towards the betterment of these would-be citizens who may still live longer to make a difference.

However, we're gays here. We can't bear kids. The things binding man-woman relationship are not with us. Our relationships here are floating, and the only thing we can have in common with our partners is SEX. Minus sex, what would relationships here become? Friendship? Business partnership? Without sex, what is there to call us a "couple"? Without having sex, what is there to do? Maybe eat, watch movies, go places, sleep, hug, cuddle... can't ordinary close friends do these? Engage in business, save mone, build a house, buy cars... can't business partners do these?

They say SEX is just the "cheese" in the SPAGHETTI. Oh well, yes, it may be.

Amazing - I Wonder Why America?

There are instances where you have to think deeply and through your heart, discover things which are surprisingly and unexpected to come out. You never know what to do and you will never know what is the right thing to do unless you do it and follow what your heart is saying and keep on pushing you to go for. Things, in this case, are meant to be in action and properly manifested, which has to be processed well by our mind and has been configured and ratified by the heart. (Well, this is not philosophy! Hehe..)

A Compassionate Mission and an Exemplary Philanthropy : Tales of Transformation Worthy of Emulation by Dr. Napoleon A. Allones

With all the negative news about the country being fed daily by newspapers, radio and television, one could not help but feel distressed with the dark thought that the nation seems heading towards self-destruction. That's why people who want to avoid stress and feel relaxed avoid buying newspapers, listening over the radio or viewing the newscast on TV. A righteous person's reaction to a sensational news item could be hazardous to his health. However, some articles could be inspiring like what is narrated below:

              A front page article of the Philippine Star, Oct. 22, 2007 issue, caught my attention and upon reading it, I was extremely touched by its awe-inspiring story. It was entitled, "Angel of the Dump Saves Lost Souls". It tells the story of a 43-year old former British publishing house executive named Jane Walker who was so deeply touched with Christian pity and empathy towards the scavengers of Smoky Mountain that she left her lucrative publishing job in her native Britain to put up her Philippine Christian Foundation which funded the establishment of an elementary school at Smoky Mountain, Tondo, Manila upon her immigration and relocation to Manila.
              Arriving in Manila as a tourist in 1996, Walker was shocked to see the object poverty and distressing squalor of the community of scavengers at Smoky Mountain which transformed her into a real Christian with a missionary zeal. Returning to Britain, she quite her publishing job, took on three others to save more money to put up her foundation. When her partner left her after the birth of their son, she left Britain and lived in Manila where she put up an elementary school without any government help. The school now has dozens of volunteer teachers and health workers to attend to around 500 pupils who are provided with free books and supplies.
Walker could be considered as the modern Mother Teresa of Manila in terms of her missionary work. While the Philippine government, throught the city government of Manila and te MMDA, painted the roofs of the tenement houses of the squatters ot hide the ugly eye sores from the eyes of the visiting dignitaries, no government agency paid attention to uplift the living condition of the poorest of the poor in Metro Manila. It takes a foreigner to take action and improve the plight of the destitute among our countrymen. This classic example of man's humanity to man could likewise be expressed in philanthropic acts.

In Aklan, where I am presently assigned as Assistant Schools Division Superintendent, I learned of two philanthropic and charitable families who were duly recognized as great benefactors of two schools. One is the Repiedad family of Linabuan, Banga, Aklan. The family patriarch, the late Mr. Aguinaldo T. Repiedad Sr., was once the Schools Division Superintendent of Capiz but later on transferred to Aklan. Due to the absence of a public secondary school in that community, the former principal of the Linabuan Sur Elementary School envisioned a public secondary school established annexed to the elementary school site. So he asked the Repiedad family for a donation of a lot for the secondary school. The Repiedad family readily donated one-half hectare initially in 2003 and another one-half hectare last 2007. Furthermore, the family donated an amount of P168,000 for the air conditioning unit, percussion musical instruments for the school band and a grass cutter. The school is now named as Aguinaldo T. Repiedad Sr. Integrated School.
Another story is the family of Rizalina Raz Feliciano of Bacan, Banga, Aklan. She was PGH nurse in 1939 but immigrated to the US in 1955. Retired in 1984, she lived in Malate, Manila. When she visited Bacan National High School in 2001, she was shocked by the pitiable sight of the office building so she promised to help. Within a year, a new Administration Bldg. was constructed complete with tiled floors, water and electrical facilities. With the support of the whole Feliciano family, mostly residing in the U.S., two years later, a new Library Bldg. and Media Center was constructed, complete with adequate supply of books, magazines and periodicals sent from the US. Later on, a Computer Laboratory Room was likewise constructed. All of these infrastructure projects and facilities were funded solely by the Feliciano family through their Fund for the Lord. The two buildings were named after her parents and after Mrs. Rizalina Raz Feliciano, respectively.
          I'm writing these aforementioned stories of missionary compassion, benevolence, charity and philanthropy as an eye-opener to our countrymen abroad who left their homeland to seek greener pastures and become naturalized citizens of their adopted country. It is with fervent prayer and hope that some of our countrymen upon reading those stories, might be touched and awakened in their dormant sense of patriotism so that they could also share a part of their God-given bounty to the less fortunate and needy town mates, especially for any worthy and noble projects and undertakings for community welfare. To quote Mrs. Feliciano, "God has given us the gifts so we give some of it to others and be a part of that gift because we have a philanthropic mission." Charles Simons said: "If you would take your possessions into the life to come, convert them into good deeds."

Dorian Gray

Handsome. self- effacing. egocentric. Affable. influential. powerful. charismatic and haunting mass appeal. narcissistic. hurt. brokenhearted. lonesome. weary and haggard. lost. gone in vain. Such descriptions portrays one of the most illustrious fictional literary characters of all time - Dorian Gray.

His is a life of simplicity and beauty yet yearns for something more - more that it doesn't satiate him or fulfill his wants. He wants to look better that only makes him pampered just to attract or to please someone. He fell in love but then again failed, brokenhearted, and hurt. His homosexual character let grow fonder, make him a better person and most of all, it is where he found his happiness - his true love!

But life has never been kind to him instead he suffered a bitter revenge - a price he must pay for being vain, arrogant and apathetic. At the point when he realized his mistake, learn to love more and was a kind, gentleman, tragedy befell him - he died.

He died without given a chance to redeem himself, to appeal his case, to justify his reasons and live in peace and bliss. His life is sweet turned bitter - unfortunate and tragic.

Read about his story and after you finish reading about him you may either love him, curse him, hate him or empathize of his ill-fated life. How I hope I will never be under the spell of the same misfortune as Dorian Gray but only retain beautiful moments and luck in his life!

The Missing Note To My Music

Who is the missing note to my song? The one word that would complete the lyrics. The music in my life will never be complete without that missing note - that missing link that will connect all the words and pieces in me into one single beautiful thought - one beautiful music that could transcend life into eternal bliss and prosperity. I already have that missing note and word in my mind but still not clear. Would it complete the song and transform it into a beautiful music or it would only weakens and soon break the chain - the link that bonds a strong and greatness of the music?

Until then we will know, only time can tell. Someday will know...

Dinagyang Festival

January is Philippines' festival month. Many places in the country celebrate fiesta and delicious native delicacies are serve to satiate the hungry stomach. Merrymaking and frolic revelry fills the street and mardi gras festival is done through competition and street dancing. Black soot, tribal headgear, shield and spears become popular during this month. One of the famous is the Dinagyang Festival held every last Saturday and Sunday of January in Iloilo City, Philippines. A week of colorful and exciting activities culminates in a two-day street dancing competition - the Kasadyahan competition and Ati competition. Kasadyahan is a competition among schools - an interpretative song and dance telling a story or event is held on Saturday. The most anticipated event the Ati tribe is a warrior competition among several barangays in the cities and even some private schools and towns or province. A tribal competition which is done through choreographed dance routines to the beats of drums and other tribal muscial instruments. The results and announcement of winners is done at the end of the day of Sunday and usually followed by a fireworks display.

         Dinagyang started in 1968 when the Sr. Sto. Niño or the most Holy Child Jesus replica came to Iloilo for the first time and since then promised to be a devotional undertaking. The following year the first competition is held with Tribu Mamau of Compania Maritima as the first champion. The word "Dinagyang" was coined by the late broadcaster Pacifico Sudario from the rootword "dagyang" which means merrymaking.

Britney Spears' Piece Of Me Song..

Britney Spears' song Piece of Me targets the Paparazzi which were annoying and disgusting maybe even they took pictures of a popular celebrity having a poo or pee of how ridiculous it is. Every individual may it be popular celebrity have a right to privacy and moments of solitude. Also according to the song, it likes to live a life of fame and wealth but too much of it really suffocates. Thats why she chooses Philippines because it is uncommon for a Hollywood star to permanently settle in a very simple country as the Philippines and usually a Hollywood star will choose Iloilo or any places in Panay province as most Europeans and Americans did and some of them took interest in living in Alimodian. Maybe Britney should think of this because she belongs to this elite and popular personalities.

That Someone

I've been home and away from the life that I use to live. The life of noise and vibrancy, that were once mine were now gone. I've been gone to a cool countryside where peace and serenity rules over me. I've been gone to the place to think things over and plan better than just do what lies ahead to secure your place in an unsecured world. When I return to the place where I learn to love, I'm now ready to walk the tough road ahead of me. There is something in the place that its hard for me to leave and stay away for so long no matter how difficult the life there is. I've learned to love the place for the kindness it showed me, for the life it provided me and most of all the teachings of living in the cosy and illuminated city.
The one thing that makes me human is my emotion and that the city full of life made me realize that I'm a human with feelings capable of loving and being loved or can be happy or be hurt. Has someone touched my lovestoned heart or let's say make a difference or somehow became my life - the air that I breathe that I would die without. But fate and circumstances has taken it away from me - so cruel that it deprives me of the things necessary for me to be a human to live the life of real world. But somehow God never taken me for granted that it gives me a kind of life that showers me with blessings. Maybe it is just the step by step technique I need to undergo. I must face first the toughness of this complicated world before settling down with being myself a human with a kind, loving but sometimes foolish heart for the rest of my life.
Sometimes I think of a beautiful someone that once knocked on my door and I open it for the person to enter my life, but all of a sudden, it vanished out of my sight without me knowing what had happened or what caused its disappearance. Then I only think that the beautiful person is a ghost that I thought would be mine and became part of me. It is a soul that nourishes my mind and awaken my senses until it bleeds my fragile heart. A spirit that feeds me with a soup to satiate the life to be inspired and keep going. I keep telling myself to move on and never look back, but no matter how hard I try, the more I linger on the past that continue to lacerate my now bleeding heart. Everyday, I continue to lose lots of blood though I'm still alive and in good health. I feel that someone has been a part of me a long way past before that I couldn't live without. I had a frequent bouts of loneliness, sometimes feels like crying and sometimes without me knowing tears run down my face each time I lie down in the stillness of the night or the darkness of a room thinking of that someone. But hope comforts me and wipe my tears of helplessness and despair. Someone won't stop until I'm back in health and strong enough to walk and move. I need someone to pump blood to me to feel great again and to resuscitate air for me to breathe life. Until that day when all has been done, the work has finished, the sun is above my head, I will rest for awhile before settling down to be myself to have a world and a life of my own surrounded by a mutual affection shared with an awesome someone - my soul partner, my world, my life. Someone I feel but go unnoticed, someone that once knocked on my door but suddenly vanished or yet far for my eyes to see. Till then but for now brave the odds and beat the storm.
I believe I already found that someone or just lost it or so I think!

Echoes of the Hearts

Sometimes, we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times when we love so much that we lose ourselves in our own emotions. More often than not, we wonder why there is love that grows and love that grows cold. We would start to search for answer and try to find where love has gone wrong. However, in the end, we find ourselves where we started for we cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been - silent, mysterious and deeply profound.

Many of us believe that love is forever, that never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly looked at love as need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and grow while it last and then freely open our hearts when its time to say GOODBYE.

When we fall in love with someone, we do not want the feeling to end for we believed it is everything. We are everything that we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But, if it doesn't then, we should never let our lives be taken by it for life should not end where heartaches begin.

There is always a reason why we have to make and decided to move on. When we have to say to goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever but, let us not wave our hands with lonely hearts. For love will have set its wings free and find the place where it belongs. We may have lost it but then again, when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feelings resounding silently forever.

Then, we will know that it has never left us, for good that we had become because of love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy not because we have lost love, but because once in our lives, that feelings lived in our hearts and make us happy...

The Game of Life

The clock is ticking. The time is about to come. Its time to leave and start a new beginning. To start the game, roll the dice and break free from the chains of cruelty, sufferings and injustice and set foot on the ground of joy of independence and break the spell of disenchantment and evolve into the world of reality and comfort. Life itself is mysterious like the wind, we feel it but we can't see it. It is clever like the jack of all trades, it snatches life, ruin lives of others and take away moments in a split second. It is unfair in that it is bias on consequences regardless of how you react and doesn't consider any sentiments. It is the source of great contrasts, extreme highs and lows, your ultimate happiness or your great sorrow and pain, you may gain strengths or you may lose into your weaknesses and either you can take it or leave it and put you in a make or break situation.

Everything happens for a reason. You can't appreciate the beauty and purpose of life if you won't pass through the edges of it. At times you enjoy the comforts and at times the most awkward, perilous situations you can encounter the darkness to see the light, the wound to see the scar, the pain to find the comfort, the anxiety to obtain security, the weaknesses to gain strengths, the sorrow to embrace joy. In order to gain much, you must sacrifice much like your most priceless precious diamond jewelry you must pawn for a great necessity. But when we're almost there getting what we want, we lose it and later, we found someone bigger, greater and better much beautiful than before as replacement such is the explanation of life - the reason why things happen. In order to achieve ultimate, eternal happiness you must endure the greatest pain life has to offer.

Life has a start and end and in the end there's a new beginning. Like the leaves it prides itself in the field of vast sunlight. When autumn comes, it withers and fall to the ground and die, and in spring another set of leaves replaces it. Like in death, as most people agrees, there's a life beyond it, a new different kind of life - a life of hel or a life of heaven. As you are about to embark to a new beginning in your life, gather all the pain, sufferings, sorrows, anxiety and anguish you have and collect it and keep it and set sail and once you dock on a strange land, exchange your collections with fulfilled dreams and happiness.

You can play life like a snake and ladder, chess, monopoly, trivial pursuit. checkers, and game of the generals or play it like today's pc games - Sims, CounterStrike, Dota, Ragnarok, Command and Conquer.

That's the rule of the game called - - - L I F E ! ! !

Sunrise and Sunset In The Horizon

I'm wounded, bleeding, groping in pain and yet sorrow and grief accompany my injury. I'm like an innocent yearling about to be sheared, to be slaughtered. I'm like a soul floating in the chilly winds of uncharted horizons, like the dust troubling itself in the long winding road. Yet my spirit is being lifted by a pure heavenly soul. I feel like I'm traversing from the blood and tears of the fiery hell to the realms of uncertainty of purgatory to the gates of boundless mercy, affection and happiness of heaven. Paradise and ultimate joy is in sight but still far to come yet I keep on moving, I keep on walking until I reach it and finally come to my final destination where I can see my life, live and spend my life and until my life on earth is over. Life for me is a constant struggle, struggling towards an ultimate goal, despite the hardships and difficulties and most often than not, risk or danger is at stake wherever you go. But I'm familiar with it because I live with it and that will equip me as I journey life.

I see myself doing lots of things I wish to do, a nomad traveling places from all corners of the world and as my hair turns to grey, my skin wrinkled, my hands and legs are shaking, my sight is blur and a barely audible hearing, I see myself sitting on a warm sofa chair on the balcony of a house on the top of a cliff facing a vast ocean. I am looking on a spot as far as my eyes can see thinking the beautiful memories of the past and also the joys of the last moments of my life. And as I'm about to close my eyes, the last thing I see is the person I love the most and my lips is brimming with smile!

Vin Diesel, What Do You Think?

Freakin' out. Cryin. Those ain't cool stuff. Vin Diesel know these. To cry over spilt milk is damn. Butterflies in the stomach? Yeah, for sure. Colors? Yep, I agree.

Scared? On a thing called "LOVE".

Weakness/(es)? only one thing - love.
Biggest fear? Fear of rejection, fall out of love, heartbreak.

Favorite shout-out: (in mind) awoooh-awo-awo-awo (remember Scooby Doo?!)

Favorite line: Take action: Placeholder listings; External Proof: To be completed later. ;-)

Cool Thing You Can Do: I can be damn and bit** about the one I love and for the sake of it without the person making damn out of me (you f***in s***)

End Note Today: Drink and Be Merry Today for Tomorrow Is Yet To Come!

Comic Thoughts: "If cent coins persist, cosult your konduktor."

What's With The Name?

Many people in the chat rooms, in forums, in networking sites or other personal sites why I labeled my blogs and frequently used he name bootsguy in these sites. Some people thought I am selling boots, some offered their rainboots and others are annoyed when I constantly bugged them in chatroom with the usual catchphrase I use to look for someone to talk to and share interests and stories. They think it would be silly for me to think of boots, its smell when the feet is choked up in the boots and it perspires it contains germs that cause athlete's foot that stinks like a skunk or a rat, how it is being worn is too heavy and uncomfortable and most of all so unusual and weird for them to hear from someone so engrossed or deify a heavy and thick shoes people don't like to wear and only soldiers, workers, and adventurers would like to slip it on their feet. The main reason why I labeled this blog and myself bootsguy is a description of myself and who I am and what I feel. I know you are still confused and still intrigues of what I am talking. If these days, teenagers are devoted to their emo culture, I could compare myself to its counterpart in Europe - the skinhead. For you to know about skinhead, search wikipedia for skinhead and also to further support your knowledge about it, I would like to quote the site - Recon and Hotboots for the definition and explanation of boots fetishism.

 I live in the world where the starving beasts and greedy, corrupted snorting hog rampage the society, where the weak poor is relying on these warthogs taking advantage on them. Where the beasts and the hog conspire to ruin and kill the peaceful living. A place where anyone can turn evil just to achieve something. When a person is achieving, there are some who lurks in the dark trying to ensnare the pity person and therefore ruin them. Al you need to do is equate their evil with goodness. Be kind, nice and helpful to others. A good virtue radiates and mark someone’s character and therefore outshine completely destroying the wicked dark force. Immediately avoid those who speak evil of others and then speak themselves good, you might be the next victim. Pray a lot not only for yourself but mostly for others because evil replicates fast and they are everywhere.  Wish others the best they could be for doing so, blessings will be generous to you. Treat others in the best way that you can, so that you may be treated in the nicest way there can be. Don’t worry, if they mistreat you, it only foretells what is in store for them.
