an ode to jessica zafra

Message: at last those egotistical caucasians have
fallen under the sway of philippine rule. no
longer may we contend with frigging miss universe
pageants hoping that another dumbass pinoy chick
falls on her heels and gain us a place in the top
ten.

nope. im sure uv already witnessed the grand
scheme hatched by the pinoys in american idol.
now, those puny americans have witnessed the
metaconcerted effort of the pinoy in the most
powerful form of mind coercion---entertainment.
not just minor entertainment mind you---im
talking hollywood, baby. it was merely third
place, but still---one must contend with what one
gets. and we have reached the inner gates so to
speak.

whereas bin laden has to blow up those twin
towers in new york to gain worldwide infamy, we
merely send a waif of a child into hollywood to
divide the american peoples. where this fugitive
arab has to acquire, train, feed and clothe his
spies---we simply vote our "american idol" and
let her divide and conquer. with pinoy skills
too, proving that you dont need real talent to
gain position into the "top." one simply needs to
know people, and in this female agent's case whom
we shall designate as agent J, people with
texting capabilities.

o great mentor, i submit to you my abilities:
the metafaculties of julian may, the ironies of
joseph heller, and the weirdness of stephen king
as well as the eroticism of ann rice for i
require such things. hearken to the cry of one
who serves you faithfully! i await the day i may
stand by your side and join upon this great war.
for the day of the battle is imminent when we
must take arms. you with your broadsword, and i,
with my japanese kitana blade with a made in
taiwan label in the inner sanctum of its hilt.

answer my call, o great one!

my dear, do you think it is fair to brand someone as "dumbass" just because she's met an acident and went through consequences to her and our favor?
I do not want to think you're someone with the kind of insecurity most lookists suffer.
Please watch your language. I believe, basing on the way you write, that you're sensible.

dear bell,
this is merely a repost of an article by jessica zafra, who is a renowned cynic of philippine idiosyncrasies.
You must realize that as a cynic writer, she tends to exaggerate a bit and jumps to far-out conclusions to prove her point. as a reader of cynical material, it is, I believe, our responsibility to tresh out the true meaning or point of her rambles, and disconsider the false and exaggerated ones. Also, it is, as I have noted, a practice of cynics to seemingly berate themselves and their race to express a point totally opposite to what they write.
She is, I believe, a very gifted writer and I would advise anyone to read her books, which leads for a very entertaining reading. Just take note NOT to take her works at face value but rather, try to read between the lines.
And if you do find that her writings are opposite to your views, just discard it as just another crazy ranting from another writer and laugh at her opinion.
Enjoy.

Oh, by the way, I do find her funny, and at times truthful, albeit hurtful, and I am a true blooded filipino and cebuano and proud of it. And I will never be otherwise.
Not manila type filipino mind you, but that's another topic.
