Emo you, Emo Me

I see it. I hear it. I write it.

Jessica Sanchez, a small 16-year old high school student from San Diego, proved to be a one big threat for the rest of the contestants who vied for the title as this year’s American Idol.

As more and more people root for her and as she continues to awe not just America but the rest of the world with her strong powerful voice, many ask who is Jessica Sanchez beyond the American Idol limelight and how did she get that amazing voice?

Jessica Sanchez is of American, Mexican and Filipino descent as her dad who was from Texas is of Mexican heritage while her mom was from the Philippines.  However, Jessica was born in Chula Vista, California where she spent her childhood before she and her family moved to San Diego.

Jessica is not a newbie in contests like the American Idol. As a matter of fact, at the age of 11, she had already appeared in the show America’s Got Talent where she first wowed the global audience with her own cover of the song “I surrender”. And five years after then, she continues to surprise the crowd with her exceptionally beautiful voice and amazing song renditions but now in American Idol.

Jessica proved the American Idol judges and even the rest of America that she deserves to be given more screen time after she auditioned in Las Vegas and wowed them with her own remake of the song “The Prayer”.  After then, Jessica kept on slaying each performance until she gained her spot as one of the top 13 contestants where she sang the song “I Love You I Do” by Jennifer Hudson. Judges are always amazed by her performances that when during the Top 7 week when she was voted out by the audience, they chose to save her proving to everyone that she is undeniably a frontrunner in the competition. Since then, more and more people showered her with support not only by rooting for her but actually voting for her to make sure she gets to the top 3.

They didn’t fail.

Jessica emerged as one of the best three of the season, along with Joshua Ledet and Philip Philipps, besting probably a million of hopefuls who auditioned. Jessica proved the public she is worthy of her spot by singing “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”, an original song by Jennifer Holiday in the movie Dream Girls. With her achievement, she had made not only the Mexicans and Filipinos proud, but as well as all the Americans that have supported her all the way. With her unique swagger and charisma, it will not surely come as a surprise if Jessica Sanchez goes home as this year’s American Idol.

This week Philippine Television blasted off the brawl of Claudine Barretto- Raymart Santiago vs Mon Tulfo at NAIA Terminal 3.

Mr Mon Tulfo says he’s from Davao at that time when he heard someone was angrily shouting to the ground attendant about her offloaded baggage. He even sympathized to Ms Barretto but then he was shocked hearing Ms Barretto choice of words humiliating the ground attendant and even threatening that she can possibly fire her in her position. Mr Tulfo’s intention was to take some pictures of Ms Barretto and write to his column both sides of the stories; the Cebu Pacific system management and the reaction of Ms Barretto who is a public figure. In the first place, Mr Tulfo is a columnist and he has the right to take pictures, to write write-ups because he owed it to the public especially the parties involved are public figures.

Ms Claudine Barretto says she lost her temper to the Cebu Pacific attendant because of their inappropriate handling about her luggage. She claims that she lost her behaviour because she needs the medicines that apparently, it was inside her luggage. It is normal to a customer to get angry in this inconvenient situation because anger is not only inevitable, it is sometimes necessary. It is never an airlines SOP to offload someone’s luggage without the customer knowledge. A customer cannot just simply say, “Hey, Cebu Pacific, you lost my baggage or you offload my baggage, it is okay. Thanks! “. Who would say that? And she gets angrier when she’s at peek with her emotion and she’s been taking pictures by someone who is Mr Tulfo.

Mr Tulfo claims, Ms Barretto and Mr Santiago entourage attacked him first but Ms Barretto also claims, she was kicked twice first by Mr Tulfo and pushed her to the counter.

As a viewer, I really don’t know what the truth behind the video courtesy by youtube because it is incomplete footage since the management of NAIA Terminal 3 says CCTV there is not working. As a Filipino citizen, I am more bothered to find out about this. The Barretto and Santiago vs Tulfo fight is not a National concern but CCTV not working issue is more alarming.

For Mr Mon Tulfo, even you are a columnist, sometimes let’s respect the privacy of every individual even they are a public figure. Also to Tulfo brothers, after their impressive TV threat, why not assign them to be our force to Scarborough Shoals or Spratlys?

For Ms Claudine Barretto and Mr Raymart Santiago, if you’re claiming that you need the medicine in your luggage just to justify your violent reaction, you should know that in the first place, medicine is a must hand-carry thing. You don’t need to humiliate people when you’re angry or upset of the inconvenient situation because for one reason, no one has the right to do that. Face the consequences since you’re both adult enough to be responsible with your own actions.

For Cebu Pacific, you claim that you have been verbally abused by Ms Barretto. You may be found your match for being abusive with your passenger most of the time.

If our attention is still in Barretto and Santiago vs Tulfo issue, then we are all a star-struck fanatics, because the problem here is CEBU PACIFIC and NAIA 3.

Now, how can we feel safe?

Johnny is a five year old boy. He is in kindergarten and goes to school every day. During his first three months in school, her teacher recognizes him as one of the fast learners in their class. He excels in mathematics, English, History and even outshines the entire class in extracurricular activities. In fact, he gets the number two spot in their class top ten at the end of the first grading period.

One day during a class break, John and one of his classmates, Randy went out of their class room to have their snacks. However, instead of heading to school canteen, Randy took John outside the school.

“Do you see those food carts, Johnny? Those are so yummy and tasty!” said Randy, while pointing out the straightly aligned food carts which are just adjacent to their school premises.

“No, Randy, I don’t eat those kinds of foods. My mother told me that those are unhealthy! Let’s get inside and have some snacks at our school canteen instead.” John exclaimed in disagreement.

“No, we will try them once! If you found them not delicious, we will not buy foods outside anymore,” said Randy.

Since then, Johnny started to crave and love street foods. Without her mother’s noticed, he continued eating junk foods from the food carts outside their school. He does not anymore eat vegetables that her mother used to prepare for him. And since then, he became weak, unmindful and uninterested of school activities, and did not anymore study his lessons. While his grades keep on declining, he also expectedly gaining weight and getting bigger and bigger.

One evening, Johnny has eaten grilled hotdogs, spaghetti, and huge-sized burgers, making his stomach in full. Without even taking showers and studying, he slept sluggishly.

“Johnny wake up, I need someone to play with me” He hears a voice from nowhere.

“No, I hate playing. I’m sleepy and please do not disturb me!” exclaimed John, without even trying to find out who’s calling him.

“Bwahahaha! I am your master! Open your eyes and see who you are talking to. I am your favorite food. Let’s play or you will suffer from a dreadful sickness,” the voice said.

Very slowly, Johnny tried to open his still half-closed eyes. To his surprise, he saw a very horrible creature -an indescribable living thing with a huge head that looks like decaying burger with thumb-sized hairy and parading maggots on it. It has tentacles that look like rotten and turned-black noodles of spaghetti. Each tentacle has a single yet huge mouth with sharp teeth and all is ready to attack him. When one of the many tentacles bit him on the face, John was frightened and screamed with so much pain.

“Ahhhhh! Please leave me!” shouted John.

“Johnny, wake up! I am your mother! What’s happening to you! You are dreaming!” her curious mother said.

When Johnny woke up, he cried and cried while repeatedly asking for her mother to stay with him all night. After few moments, Johnny felt a terrifying stomach ache which made him unable to move. He was rushed to the hospital and was treated for one week.

Since then, Johnny does not eat junk and unhealthy foods anymore. He started to eat fruits and vegetables and even requests it to his mom. Now he loves fruits and veggies. Gradually, with proper exercise and healthy foods, he regained his mental aptitude and physical fitness. As he promised to her mother, he became friendly again, active in his school activities and the god news is: he is the top achiever in his class.

Some people nowadays do not want to get married. Living in with a partner of the opposite sex is already common. This is due to the idea that marriage will only end up to a divorce. A lot of people are afraid that if they will get married, they will end up with the wrong person, thus they can never escape from their marriage. With this, divorce is invented, making it possible for couples bonded in marriage to make a choice to end up the matrimony and have the chance to choose another partner in case the marriage will not work. Almost all of the countries around the world are in favor of divorce. The Vatican City and the Philippines are the only places that are not in favor of divorce. The Philippines only have annulment in which marriage is considered void or invalid.
