Act: : (I do not bother to know).
Actor: I left my momma to pursue this woman...now I miss my mother.
Woman enters the scene with a letter that she handed to the man. The Man read it and howled.
"My momma, she's dead".
He got up and reached for a gun to kill himself. He changed his mind. Instead, he sung. Nanginginig na boses. From the dark, the silhouette of a man playing a violin stood from the foot of the stage.
Yan yong sinasabing. Play the violin na nga.
No this is not real.
I am watching a Godfather marathon. It was a scene where the young Vito Corleone was watching an opera or a stage play.
For the first time, I got interested watching the movie. The first time, I watched it, I do not know what the movie was all about. Yeah I
know that it was violent. I can not understand what MAFIA is. The next time I watched it from the AMC Channel (I have not even watched Part 2 and 3, so sue me), I have already watched several organized crime-inspired movies so more or less I know that the big families of the Dons were always treated with respect especially the women and children. Still I did not finish the movie.
The reason I got interested in the Godfather is because of the massacre in MAGUINDANAO. There are the same elements of revenge, power struggle, carnage and decades of loathing and warlordism.
At the same time, I am reading a novel about power struggle for control of the drug trade by organized crime of bikers in Canada that led to so many deaths of members and innocent bystanders. It is a fiction I know but it gives me the answer why these people are not afraid to kill. Given the arms and the power, they enjoy the control over many people thru threats and murders as authorities seemed inadequate to protect the civilians. They can not just make arrests on the basis of circumstantial evidence. High calibre and expensive lawyers are hired to question the processes from arrests to gathering of evidences. Witnesses are silenced...even if they're relatives.
One statement that is similar to a comment that was posted in my blog which I did not publish had this message:
Why not let these sociopaths kill each other as self-regulation? One character that had the same idea with mine articulated the reason why the authorities can not just watch in the sideline or collect dead bodies and say buti nga saiyo because there are innocent people who are included in the carnage...like the journalists, the lawyes and there may even have witnesses in the case of Maguindanao.
Again, I did not finish the movie part 2. It was just beginning and my eyelids felt romantic that the upper would like to kiss the lower eyelids. I looked at the clock and I realized that I was awake since 4:00 AM today.
Before I took my forty winks, I remember the question posed by the anthropologist/main character of the novel, Tempe Brennan...what were the feelings when the victims were being killed...when they were being tortured...did they hope that someone is going to come to save them?
And before I finally had fallen to the dreamland, I remember when I was young and had just watched DARNA movie. For several days, I fantasized that I am the flying heroine minus the red two piece suit that's had been shrinking as new movie stars tackle the role...and I saved people who were about to be killed by humans, aliens and monsters.
I was always brought back to planet Earth by my nanny-cousin who woud pull the piece of cloth that I used as my cape.

lol, gusto ko matawa pero malungkot, di ako makahagilap ng salita para sabihin.
matagal ng ngyayari yan, wag ng mindanao, sa ilokos nalang, ilan bang mga lord lord na my mga private armies ang meron?
na sana kung magpapatayan sila sila nalang at wag ng mandamay ng mga inosente, inom muna ko ng kape at naiistress nanaman ako.
kandaihi nanaman
ako dito kakaubo at yung mga de puger na doktor ay ala chamba nanaman ng gamot na ipapainom sakin e sinabi ko na ngang allergy ako sa winter at pag di natugma ang gamot e bandang huli bronchitis nanaman ang tuloy neto, at kung kelan bronchitis na saka ako sasaksakan ng kung anu anu, sus ginuo taon taon nalang ganito ako.
oki, naligaw nanaman ako ng topic, tuloy ang topic.
kulang si darna mam, gusto kong sumigaw na maging monster at pagtatapakan yang mga yan
at ng mangaubos ng wala na silang uubusin.
ang hirap nalang magtuturo dahil wala din namang mangyayayri e baka mamatanda lang ako kakaturo, ang nakakainis lang talaga e, alam na alam mo kung sinu, at kung sinung mga protektor nila pero wala kang magawa, yun ang nakakainis.
sige mam, mag darna kana, kunin mo na yung twalyang balabal mo, ako naman mag momonster na.
di ba ako rin nagkaproblema sa allergy ko. hindi maalis ang ubo. niresetahan ako ng para sa allergy noong pagaling na ang aking ubo.
marami yang mga may private armies, sa ilocos, sa pangasinan, sa bicol at sa mindanao.
ang talagang masakit niyan ay ang walang pakundangan sa batas na akala mo sila ang batas.
alam nilang di sila magagalaw e lalo pat sila ang my hawak ng lugar e di hawak din nila sa leeg ang mga tao, at yung mga my hawak hawak na leeg na yun ang kelangan ng mga ambisyosong nagaambisyong umupo ng malacanang.
kaya alam mo ba na kahit gaano kapopular ang isang kandidato, pag hindi nila hawak ang mga warlords, wala silang panalo?
Ako noon, gusto ko din gayahin si darna. Naghanap ako ng bato na maliit lang. Kaya lang, ayokong lulunin kasi madumi. Yng buko na lang ng rose ng nanay ko napag-diskitahan ko. Pero imbes na lulunin ko (baka kasi may pesticide) pinasok ko sa ilong ko (yun ang pinakamalapit sa bibig eh) tapos sabay sigaw (silent lang kasi baka sabihin, ilusyunada ako) ng "Darna!". Siempre, alang nangyari. Nahirapan pa ko tanggalin yung rosebud sa ilong ko. Napagalitan pa ako ng nanay ko kasi pinaki-alaman ko tanim nya.
hahahahaha ibang klase naman palang darna ka biyay, sa ilong hahahaha tapos pagsigaw mo ng darna na my nakapasak sa ilong, di si darna ang lalabas nun hahaha.
mga bata talaga oo
bakit nga ba malaking implwensiya sa atin ang darna. kahat gustong maging darna. gusto kong lumipad. meron din akong pinanood noon yong wonderwoman, panay din ang ikot ko. hehehe
