“Suntok sa Buwan is the directorial debut of Bianca Catbagan, together with Jose Antonio de Rivera.
Starring Joem Bascon and Daniel Fernando, the story revolves around two boxers: one, young and talented, the other, aged yet passionate. The two are headed for a collision as they prepare against each other in the bout that will define their lives.
When a boy with everything to lose faces a man with nothing to lose, who will win the fight?”

A homily by Fr. Jboy Gonzales, S.J. on Pentecost Sunday 2003
(final paragraphs only)
Finally, Pentecost brings community and risks together. When the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, everyone understood what they were speaking despite the variety of tongues. But more practically, I believe that the Holy Spirit gives us the courage needed for the most important risk in our lives: that of taking all the opportunities to deepen our relationships, to be one with the love of our life. Sadly, most of us, do not take risks for fear of losing the very relationship we dream to have. To form community require great leaps of faith. To deepen friendships requires great risks.
Have we ever noticed that the worse way to miss someone is when they are right beside us and yet we can never have them…and that the moment we can feel them under our fingertips, we miss them?
Have we ever wondered which hurts the most – saying something and wishing we had not or saying nothing and wishing we had?
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things we get ashamed of because words diminish them, words shrink things that seemed timeless when they were in our head to no more than a living size when they are brought out… Let us not be afraid to tell someone we love them. If we do, they might break our hearts… but if we don’t, we might break theirs.
Have you ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with the person? Your heart decides who it likes and who it doesn’t. You can’t tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own… when you least suspect it or even when you don’t want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had but that other person was too afraid to let you? Too many of us stay walled because we are too afraid to care too much… for fear that the other person does not care as much, or at all.
Have you ever loved someone and they had absolutely no idea whatsoever? Or fell for your best friend in the entire world and then sat around and watch her fall for someone else?
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle? We tell lies when we are afraid of… afraid of what we don’t know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie… the thing we fear grows stronger.
Life is all about love and taking risks and it requires us to jump. Don’t be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. An opportunity of great relationship with each other is worth any risk. No one waits forever.
I can’t seem to stop going back to this post… but I can finally say I did it! That jump. :)

GMA NETWORK STATEMENT ON THE USTv STUDENTS’ CHOICE AWARDS KICK-OFF INCIDENT
THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK. Even if she wasn’t saying anything negative about the network, I think she should have realized that the way she worded her tweet could, in fact, cause some misunderstanding.
The organizers should clear this matter up. And people should get their facts straight before jumping to conclusions (note: I’m talking about fans on twitterverse reacting to the issue).

“I am grateful to ABS-CBN but this is damn irresponsible. You do not go about propagating WAR. Especially if you can reach at least 80% of the population.”
“I condemn the ABS-CBN TV Patrol POLL dated October 20, 2011 for irresponsibly asking a complex question: “Papayag ba kayo na itigil na peace talks at mag ALL OUT WAR na laban sa MILF?” While 97% voted for YES, does this follow that 97% want to stop the peace talks AND at the same time launch an ALL OUT WAR against the MILF? Let us not allow a question to compromise the peace talks. NO to sensationalizing of news and complex questions. YES to fairness and accuracy of news! MEDIA, KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

misteravid: I have always hated the way we report news. It is vastly unfair to Muslims. As I said in a previous post: It pains my ear how they report such things on local news too, if a crime was committed by a Muslim, they are quick to point it out like “Isang Muslim ang nangholdap ng banko!” yet we never hear “isang Kristayano ang nang rape ng bata!”. It’s stupid & irresponsible.
