The Real Deal–JoDi’s Blog

This is a re-post from my page in blogspot. Sorry I’m not gonna reveal my account there.haha. I just felt the need to post something in connection to my former post. It’s quite the same, really…just a tad longer.;) I’m supposed to write something else, but my depression on the turn of events on the fifth book, Midnight Sun, has gotten the better of me; it has muddled my thoughts, and I have yet to gather them. Is it so obvious that I’m so in love with my imaginary vampire boyfriend?(LOL) Hamza, my dear Hamza, if you’re reading..just so you know, you will always be my one and only.:)

Anyhoo..here it is. *sigh*

********************************************************************************

I have been distracted the past couple of days; I keep thinking about my favorite vampires, especially my beloved (HAH!), so yesterday I sat myself in front of the pc and searched for stuff on the net about Twilight groups. I came across this blogsite (below), and lo and behold, a probable answer to my restlessness! Perhaps Edward has been trying to tell me something and here it is. *wide smile*

Twilight movie release date for the Philippines confirmed!
It’s official! Viva International Pictures has just confirmed with Twilight Coven Philippines that the Philippine release of the "Twilight" film will be on November 20, 2008.Visit our sites for updates as regards news and promotions for the upcoming film (there are a lot in store for us Twilighters!). We will appreciate it if you will post a link to direct your readers/members in our site to keep them updated. Thanks.

Imagine my glee… I was ecstatic! I was in euphoria! The glee I felt was and is immeasurable; words won’t do justice to the emotions I felt when I read the post (sorry I sound overreacting).

But My God, THANK YOU!

While I, and the rest of the Philippine-based fans rejoice in this great piece of news, I am saddened that there are those who don’t seem pretty happy with the playdate of the movie which will be shown a day before US and Canada. Seeing comments on the blogpost saying that it is unfair and unjust, asking WHY we get to see it first before the rest of the world does (which is only a couple of hours earlier to be exact), I say, WHY NOT?

First and foremost, why are we arguing over something that cannot be resolved? What is to be resolved, in the first place anyway? It’s a non-issue my dears. We can exchange all the hurtful and discriminatory words out there, but the play dates will remain the same. Of course, unless there’s some sort of miracle to happen in the coming weeks and months and Maverick Films decides to show it another month earlier than in the Philippines.

Second, Filipino Twilight fans had nothing to do with the decision of Viva International Pictures, the local distributor of the movie to show it on an earlier date. Movies here change picture on Wednesdays to be exact, and November 20 falls on a Thursday. Actually if we were unjust and selfish, we’d probably make a petition and move it to the 19th. But we’re not like that. What’s one more day to wait?

Third, I don’t think Stephenie Meyer, had envisioned her fans quarreling like this. Remember that this had all started from a dream, that turned into a book, that turned into a movie. The book itself is a gift. The movie is just a bonus; a visual treat to satisfy our thirst for our hero and heroine, and the rest of the characters of the Twilight saga. Let us not squabble over this. No one is above nor below–we’re all equals here. So please, let’s all sit back, take a chill pill and patiently wait for November to roll by; it’s not like Stephenie Meyer, Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and the rest of the cast are going to come over the Philippines for the premiere… although the idea of Rob coming over wouldn’t be too bad at all. *crooked smile*

I’m so friggin’ distracted today! I can’t seem to focus on anything else. Hmm… I’m gonna just babble here, see if I blog something straight; I’m afraid I might have lost my marbles over the series. LOL

Ehhhh…

….

Shucks… I can’t think.. I have so much to say but my mind’s ablur. I’m contradicting myself. Dangit.LOL

See you guys next time. I’m useless right now. My thoughts are corrupted with my vampire lover. Cat’s finally out the bag. HAHAHAHA!

Family Relations will always be marred with political ambitions. I had always believed that blood is thicker than water. But these people have proved me wrong. Money is far more powerful than familial ties. This is not a personal vendetta against you. This is to let the people know how truly filthy your soul is. I am not afraid if you wage war against me, because I know that I have not done you nor your family any wrong. This goes out to everyone else who have betrayed us and our relatives who have stood behind us all throughout. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW JUST HOW MUCH YOUR LIFE IS WORTH. IT’S NOT WORTH ANYTHING AT ALL.

PALITAN MO YANG APELIDO MO, YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO CARRY MY FAMILY NAME. I HAVE CUT ALL TIES FROM YOU. YOU ARE NOT WORTH ANYTHING. YOU ARE WORSE THAN DIRT, THAN PUSS, THAN SCUM… YOU ARE THE FILTH THAT LIVES WITHIN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF HELL. THE WORST OF THE WORST. YOU ARE DEAD TO ME NOW. FAMILY TRAITOR!

As requested, I have been told to take out her ugly photo. I’m not a hard person to deal with, so I did. But, do you think this is my one and only blog? I won’t let you nor your family get away with it so lightly, moron!

I got this from my e-mail, and since we had experienced an earthquake recently, and in other parts of the globe as well, I thought this would come in handy.

————————————————————————

Some interesting points that make sense, all contrary to what we have been taught.

This is really interesting….just the opposite of what we were taught and
maybe still are teaching our children and each other. Please print it
and read it, keep it and share it.  I was amazed at how many things
we’ve been taught that are NOT the right thing to do.

For those who might encounter an earthquake (which is everyone). My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world’s most experienced rescue team. The information in this article will save lives in an earthquake.

I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries. I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation for two years… There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method of the ‘triangle of life.

‘The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico City during
the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under their desk. Every child was
crushed to the thickness of their bones. They could have survived by
lying down next to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary and I wondered why the children were not in the aisles. I didn’t at the time know that the children were told to hide under something. Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them.This space is what I call the ‘triangle of life’ The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured.

The next time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the ‘triangles’ you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape you will see, in a collapsed building.

TEN TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY:

1) Most everyone who simply ‘ducks and covers’ WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE is crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.

2) Cats, dogs & babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct.  You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.

3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.

4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on the back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.

5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out of the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.

6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the doorjamb falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!

7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different ‘moment of frequency’ (they swing separately from the main part of the building).  The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the
stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads- horribly mutilated. Even if the building doesn’t collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible. It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.

9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an
earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the
slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.

10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper. Spread the word and save someone’s life.
