bull-sized rodent discovered

The giant skull of a one-ton prehistoric rat — shown here next to a modern-day rat — was revealed on January 16, 2008.

“Measuring 53 centimeters (21 inches) long, the skull was found in Uruguay by an amateur fossil hunter among fallen cliff rocks in the San José region. Analysis of the bizarre find by paleontologists suggests it belonged to a bull-size species, which has since been named Josephoartigasia monesi,” National Geographic News reported.

The megarodent lived in lowland rain forests between two and four million years ago, perhaps using its massive teeth to fend off saber-toothed cats and giant, flightless, meat-eating birds, researchers said

The newfound species was reported in a study led by Andrés Rinderknecht of the National Museum of Natural History and Anthropology in Montevideo, Uruguay.

The previous holder of the title world’s largest rodent was a ”buffalo-size” fossil creature from Venezuela, revealed by scientists in 2003.

gone with the wind

Seriously? What kind of justice system do we have? It's been two f*ck*ng years and still no Justice What about the 50 innocent lives which mostly are media practitioners.
Why am I so affected and what the hell do I care? Nagtaka pa ako.
Graduate kasi ako ng journalism at buti nalang at hindi ko tinahak ang landas na yun after graduating. Ang Thesis ko nung college is about journalist being killed world wide, that was 2006. Pangalawa ang Pinas sa ma may pinakamaraming journalists na pinapatay second to Iraq. Ewan ko lang ngayon, baka number 1 na.

Kawawa naman ang mga aspiring journalists.

wonder plant ( a tribute to my favorite plant )

I have faith in this plant. Hangang ngayon ay nagtitake parin ako ng Sambong tablets. Maski Iba na ang nireseta sakin ng doktor. Mura lang naman less than 5 php each tablet. I have so much faith in this Herbal Plant that I know na sobrang laki ng tinutulong nito sa Kidneys ko at sa pag-flush ng toxin ng katawan ko. You see, as much as I want to eat everything that I lay my eyes on. Hindi pwede lahat ng sobrang sugar, asin, protein, some vegetable components at some fruit acid ay nakakacontribute sa pag-buo ng mga kidney stones. That's why it's impossible for me to gain weight at this point.

immortality

I was in third year high school when I discovered Celine Dion. Isa sa una kung nagustuhan sa mga kanta niya ay "Immortality". Imagine kulang kulang o humigit 14 years na ang nakakalipas ay nakikinig parin ako sa mga songs niya at si Celine Dion parin ang pinaka favorite ko sa lahat ng divas. I fell in love with the lyrics of the song "Immortality". Ganda talaga ng lyrics, At noong mapanood ko ang music video nito ay lalo akong na-inlove sa kanta. 14 years ago hindi pa uso Youtube, kaya naman maghapon kung inaabangan ang music video nito sa MTV. Hindi ko rin maintindihan na tuwing iisipin ko ang mga crushes ko during highschool ay itong kantang to ang pumapasok sa isipan ko. Marahil tangap ko narin sa sarili ko nung mga panahong iyon na imposible nila akong magustuhan dahil mga straight at goodlooking sila at ako naman ay sobrang confused.

Favorite lines ko sa song na ito:

I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play

Hand over my heart I'll find my way

I will make them give to me

drowning

It is very important to believe in yourself and your aspirations.

Alam kung kaya nagkakaganito ang buhay ko ay wala akong tiwala at pagmamahal sa sarili ko.

Wala akong focus at kunakain ako ng takot, insecurity at depression.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit nawalan nako ng goal sa buhay. Lagi kong pinipilit na magising na lang isang araw na kasing tigas na ng bato ang paniniwala ko sa sarili ko na may kasamang determinasyon at focus. Nngunit lagi akong bigo, lagi kung binabalikan ang nakasanayan kong mga gawain.

Ano ba ang kailangan kung gawin para magkaroon ng direksyon at ambisyon.

Gusto kong mabuhay ng maayos.

Kailangan kung maniwala sa sarili ko.

Kailangan kung paniwalaan ulit ang mga pangarap ko.

Nalulunod na ako.

trans fat

About this post, I don't mean to stereotype Transgenders, I have nothing against them or whatsoever, in fact I look up to them for having the courage to show the world for who and what they are. It just happened that I am at the wrong place.

Sa loob ng jeepney on the way to Cubao. I'm seated near the driver. Then suddenly may sumakay na mga Transgenders, three of them to be exact. Ang isa umupo sa tabi ko at ang dalawa sa harapan ko. Then they started talking using the G- lingo.

Masakit man, pero ako ang pinaguusapan nila, I act and project straight as a ruler. That's why inisip nila na hindi ko maiintindihan ang pinaguusapan nila maski na gaano pa kalalim ang version nila ng G-lingo.

" Tomboy ba yan? "

" hindi ko sure "

" Ang Payat "

" Parang addict "

Where some harsh words they used to criticize me. Given the fact na tatlong patong na ng damit ang suot ko para lang matago ang katawan ko. It hurts specially that what they are saying is in fact very true. I wish I didn't care but it really hurts. I wish na nasa nakikinig ako ng Mp3 player at that moment, but at least they have the decency to code it using a not so Alien language.

I just don't get it, na maski maraming beses na akong nakakaranas ng panlalait ay naapektuhan parin ako. No matter how true ang mga sinasabi nila ay masakit parin deep within.

Indeed the truth really hurts. Just for the record I am not Anorexic. I always wonder how it feels like na mabuhay ng maski isang araw lang na normal ang katawan ko...I can only imagine the possibilities.
