Avatar the Movie - a must watch?

I watched Titanic a couple of times and I didn't get tired of it. I think I can still watch it today and still enjoy it. Titanic with Leo di Caprio and Kate Winslet is a movie by the director of Avatar, James Cameron. There are other noted Cameron movies of course, but it was only the Titanic that I watched so many times (with different friends). I was wondering if this sci-fi, 3-d, futuristic, etc. movie will have the same effect on me, and others?

Let's see...

The Magdalos Were Right

One of the claims of the Magdalo group of soldiers a few years back (July 27, 2003) in their military misadventure (the Oakwood experiment - or mutiny) was that the government was selling weapons to the enemy which are then used to kill government soldiers. What were found in Ampatuan Maguindanao from the properties of the Ampatuan clan are irrefutable proof to that claim.

Another claim was that the military was used to tamper the elections. Can it be that the proclamation of Martial Law in that province will be used to "cover" what was done and "silence" those in the know? Even without these recent findings and developments the Magdalos back then were believable in their claims, they were just outmaneuvered by the opponent.

The Magdalos were right, then what of it?

Pacquiao Vs. Mayweather on March 13, 2010

If reports are true, Floyd Mayweather Jr has accepted to fight Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao on March 13, 2010! This is exciting.

However, will Pacquiao fight in the ring or concentrate on becoming a congressman? Really interesting.

Vote Feliciano Serrano as Pampanga Congressman

If you're from the second congressional district of Pampanga, you should vote for Feliciano Serrano.

The only reason for this is that his opponent doesn't deserve the position. It's not healthy but voting for somebody not because you want him to serve you but because you don't want the other candidate is actually valid sometimes. It's like vote for anybody else except Adolf Hitler as president.

I'm actually quite surprised that many are supporting Gloria Arroyo, the other candidate, to run for Congress. The way they spin the situation is slick: "Who else has done this before? Which president has come down from the presidency and done something better?". Cool. Actually, cold, very cold.

I believe that Gloria Arroyo doesn't care about what people think, she just cares about herserlf, her family, and her own agenda: to remain in power.

As we speak, she's using and abusing her power as president to be elected to Congress. There's more to come. Can she win? Only a miracle can prevent her from winning, so, vote for Serrano! (Someone from Pampanga should start a facebook group in this if not yet done.)
