BREWING
Even in the stillness of being alone

Pesteng Jueteng

he world can never be exactly what you want it to be. This is a famous line in a song "Will you still love me tomorrow?" Everyone's attention span is too short and that is what's wrong in the world. What fascinate are the things we consider worthless because of queerness that fell into degradation and sordidness that I know was a mistake to be befriended. It is so good to work into something. It have a peaceful atmosphere after stunning from unpredicted moment, a perfect silence even the birds are napping while the wind far more caressing than any body's presence and I feel at perfect peace with the universe. And how much there is in it even in the stillness of being alone. The real life from me cuts off from experience to be in a shadowed room at dusks on a cold evening, and there was so much life in it, not the moment of contemplation, but life as it is in all its complexity and richness. It brought back things that are a little too close to me still. Those encounters, those meetings were just encounters, just meetings- a last foretell to places of my youth.

But when someone presided over like an angel, our youth, our dreams, our crazy hearts life will have a round the clock system. But life so seldom interstates out if only it did like emblem of so many demented hearts. For what were those summer days, we showed in truth when we could not sleep, so anxious. Were we for the things to do? Nights are so warm, so beautiful. I could not close my eyes. What was that ragged, jagged, craziness, when we could live in a whole summer in a song that became a part of our youth, but the pride of life it wall all in our demented minds it had to be. As Santayana said, artists are unhappy because they are not interested in happiness, they live for beauty. We can not live in the promise for a casual smile which passes while you set in the stoop waiting for the breeze from the river of life. You cannot love eyes. You cannot love youth. You cannot love summer dusks that wasted us out of our tenements in our systems like water falling over rocks, madness that way has, for our own hypnotic life is a blending of a half eagerness and the shimmer of it is being fool for being honest.

ami ay nagpupugay sa Pambansang Kapulisan ng Pilipinas sa paglulungsad ng "One -Strike and No Take Policy" para puksahin ang mga illegal na sugal sa buong bansa lalong-lalo na ang jueteng, masiao, swertre, last-two at iba pang uri ng sugal sa kalimitan ay ginagawa sa mga malalayong probinsya. Ipinaala-ala ni PNP Chief Director General Nicanor Bartolome ang responsibilidad ng lahat ng hepe ng kapulisan na bigyan ngipin ang Republic Act 9287 na kilala bilang Anti-Illegal Numbers Act of 2004 para mapuksa ang mga sindikatong namamalakad ng jueteng at lahat ng mga kauri nito. Sa kabila nito, napakaraming sumbong ang nakakarating pa sa Kampo Crame na may mga namamahala ng Small Town Lottery (STL) na sa likod nito ay ang hubad na katotohanan ay isang juetengan pala. Ginagawa ito para iligaw ang awtoridad at ang mga taong bayan, ayon sa tagapagsalita ng Pambansang Kapulisan na si Senior Superintendent Generoso Cerbo, Jr. Dahil dito kumilos ang Anti-Illegal Gambling Special Operations Task Force (AIGSOTF) para abisuhan ang lahat ng kapulisan para ipaalam na ang Philippine Charity Sweepstakes (PCSO) ay tumanging magbigay ng anumang frankesa para sa PCSO Lotorya ng Bayan (PLB). Kaya't hindi makapagsasabi ang mga operators ng jueteng na sila ay may STL o kaya PLB operators sila. Hinihikayat namin ang mga mamamayan na makiisa sa kampanyang ito ng pamahalaan. Tulungan natin ang mga alagad ng ating bansa sa pagpuksa sa mga illegal na sugal. Huwag tayong tumaya maski sa mga drop ball sa mga peryahan. Ipag-bigay alam sa mga kinauukulan kung may nalalaman na mga illegal na pasugalan. Ang sugal at pagiging sugarol ay nakakasira ng pamilya at hindi nakakatulong sa ekonomiya ng ating mahal na bansa. Huwag gawin bisyo ito.Ika nga ng Mayo Clinic, "Gambling is a psychological disorder." Gusto mo bang magkaroon nito? (TEM)

ace of the week Sarah Jean of 18 summers

Buoyed by the support of her auntie Gina, Sarah Jean Paras tried to exude an aura of confidence as she was coaxed for an interview. It is not just the grit and determination to answer our question but she was chic of getting what she now should be. After all, she is no longer spunky kid but a bud that blossom into a beautiful rose that have a picture of a kind that perfectly having the time of her life. The spectacular entrance into her life as Sanguniang Kabataan Chairman of her place is one of the biggest opportunities of her life. A big splash to her to serve her barangay while creating a pedestal of her life as an accounting student. One marvels to her energy as she dazzles and be dazzled by friends during her recent debut party. How she was beautifully transformed into a young woman with heartwarming and amusing treat. And even with eighteen summers of her life, Sarah Jean is yet the bundle of joy of spouses Danilo and Eva, so sweet, so innocent with a bright future ahead of her. (Teody Edades Macatbag)
