Hope you guys like the new look. I'm trying to make the blog less gloomy so I decided to get rid of the black background. Also, I've decided to cut back on the heavy-idealist crap I've been putting out lately. I've actually thought that maybe I should put up a new blog for my rants on certain things, and I even named the blog already, The Angry Fat Guy. Meanwhile, the bilog blog is going back to what it's not-famous for. The craptastic life of the Poorest Conyo.

Heroes (no, not the TV series, you dolts!)
One of the things that really pisses me off about Filipinos is the tired old, cynical attitude of "parepareho lang kayo." I often hear this during elections when people say they weren't going to vote because these politicians are all the same: corrupt and out to screw us in the butt. I often just shut up and tell myself that these people are idiots because the act of not voting is actually equivalent to pulling down their own pants and bending over to get the ass f*cking from the corrupt politicians. Sadly, this attitude also shows how lazy a person is. He is too lazy to learn about the issues that could affect his life, preferring instead to live in a cocoon and then act surprised when the shit hits the fan. I don't see how being informed could be so hard. TV has the news, the radio has it, hell, even these things called newspapers have it. (In fact, it's just about all they carry! Amazing!)
Lately, I've been hearing shit like this again when people talk about the NBN-ZTE scandal witness Jun Lozada. Some wannabe pundits (like me, but with more idiocy in their opinions) don't want to label him as a hero. They point to his (admitted) previous corruption when he was head of a government agency. I don't know if they really have an opinion or if they really just want to make "pabida" by stating a contrary one, but they could not have been more wrong.
People have this distorted view about heroes, that they should be saints and be absolutely clean and pure in everything. We forget or are ignorant of the fact that even saints were sinners before they were called into God's service. (I read that St. Francis of Assisi was a rich party-loving douchebag before he became what he is.) It is not what people do in the past that makes them heroes, it is what they do when they are faced with difficult moral decisions that will affect the lives of their fellows. Mr. Lozada, even against all the power this government has arrayed against him, found the courage to speak up about what he knew. He had nothing to gain (except our admiration) and everything to lose. If that isn't the definition of a hero, then you're all dumbasses.

Philippines - Epic fail. (the bilog blog commentary on the ZTE scandal)
from www.urbandictionary.com
FAIL:
1. "Another word for "suck", most probably derived from the world of internet gaming."
2. "The Glorious lack of success"
EPIC FAIL:
1. "terrible failure"
2. "failing really bad"
Right now, the term "fail" seems to best describe the country. This scandal is a crime against us all and if people don't react with outrage and demand justice, then the fail level drops down further to "epic" and it would probably be better if the earth opened up and swallowed us all.

the Bilog Blog's take on the Desperate Housewives brouhahah
A friend asked me ( they always ask me crappy questions) what I thought about the recent scandal over Teri Hatcher's line about "some med school in the Philippines." I answered that the writers were dumb and had no idea what they were talking about. Then I went back to watching porn - I mean - reading my Kaplan reviewer.
On later introspection (while sitting on the toilet) I realized that I shouldn't have been offended. Teri Hatcher's line went this way:
“Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines.”
Notice that she said "some med school." Well, I am not just from SOME med school. I graduated from THE med school of the Philippines.
Hehehe! Angas ng peyups! UP Fight!

Dudes, I kinda suck!
I didn't get into the residency program of Veteran's Memorial Hospital. That sucks.
Now that's out of the way, let's go back to what we do best here in the blog: making fun of other people. (Yes, this is a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black, but I don't give a flying f*ck. Not right now.)
