I AM A WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!

Don’t let the situation change you and what you believe in just because it is hard. You don’t have to be like other people and follow what they did just to get out of the misery & stressful situation you’re in right now. You have to remember that you’re not like that. Don’t think that what they did is the last thing you can do to save everything you have. And DO NOT, again, please DO NOT encourage someone especially someone close to you to do the same thing. Or say it by means of a joke because joke or not, it is NOT right. Don’t let the situation BLIND you. Don’t let the situation change you to someone that you’re not. The idea is not worth it, stupid & it makes you look like an opportunist & you’re not like that.

Also, please consider the feelings of that person. Again, may it be a joke or not you can hurt someone just by uttering those words. You can’t just say those words in this kind of situation. And please remember that we have different morals & beliefs and if some people did it, it is their choice so don’t decide or instigate the idea to others.

Given the situation we have right now, we get to decide what to do and how we do it. It is up to you & you alone. Do not do something that you’re going to regret in the future. There are people who might encourage you to do something out of what you believe in but remember that at the end of the day, YOU get to decide & you ALWAYS have a choice. If you decide to do it for someone then it is your call but DON’T let them decide for you.

WAG MONG HAYAANG IBAHIN KA NG NANGYAYARI DAHIL LANG GUSTO MONG KUMAWALA. It’s like you’re given 2 roads to take, the easy one & the hard one. You want to choose the easy part for it will make your life better but it takes courage, faith & dignidad to take the hard one coz by that choice you become a better person & at least if you fail, you can proudly say that you didn’t chose to use other people just to have a better life.

Maybe this isn’t a newsflash to anyone but me, but, um, the Moai “heads” on Easter Island have bodies. Because some of the statues are set deep into the ground, and because the heads on the statues are disproportionately large, many people (myself included) tend to think of them as just big heads. But the bodies (generally not including legs, though there is at least one kneeling statue) are there — in many cases, underground. What’s even more interesting — there are petroglyphs (rock markings) that have been preserved below the soil level, where they have been protected from erosion. This research report has been making the rounds; it discusses recent progress by The Easter Island Statue Project to uncover, study, and catalogue two statues. It includes (among the dry details of the research) a day-by-day journal of the work, as well as remarkable photographs showing the petroglyphs and team members excavating. Above is an image from a previous excavation (source unknown) that shows you the scale of the statues, and how deep they were buried. (Note: visitors are prohibited from climbing on the Moai; the expedition pictured above appears to predate the EISP and the current practice of conservation.)

For more on the Easter Island statues, read more about the EISP, read their extensive research reports, and check out the Wikipedia page on Moai (which also discusses the fairly well-known fact that many of the statuesused to have hats or possibly topknots, known as pukao). Also interesting is the back story of archaeology on Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui); apparently the island has been the subject of archaeological research for 119 years.

(CNN) — If you don’t have the time, inclination and, more importantly, the money to go to university in Manila, you can still get a degree. It will cost you between $US10 and $US60, it will take about two hours to complete and it will be fake.

Welcome to “Recto University,” the name Manila mockingly gives to the strip of document counterfeiters that openly ply their trade between Claro M. Recto and Rizal Avenues in the Philippines capital.
