Whoopsie?....

My diet Nazi is scouring for rackets and she saw a porspect. She asked to team up with me for this one. I think we will do a media kit.

I said yes, of course, because diet Nazi is a really good friend of mine. She and I stole 9and eventually returned) a couple of silverware (because my plastic spoon and fork from Jollibee broke as I attacked the dormitory beef) more than a decade ago and ergo we are crime partners.

...and apparently we struck again!

So this thing she applied for is an advocacy to promote reading. So, without batting an eyelash, I agreed. Anything for books and literacy!

So, the other day, she asked me if she could email to the head honchos a portfolio of mine. Since I did not have internet connection at home because I disconnected our Globelines landline(When it rains, we don't have connection, ergo almost six months of the year, we are hostaged by the rains); I asked her to forward them my Webzine.

Then, yesterday, she told me that Presidential daughter Luli Arroyo is the group spokesperson. I don't have a problem with her, it is her parents that make me want to hurl expletives.

Then I remembered that in my webzine, I did a graphics of this one:




Diet Nazi and I laughed our asses off last night at the sheer comedy of it all. Our friends laughed, too, but one was fearful that I might get arrested.

Right.....like my graphics will promote rebellion. Is it seditious? That's relative. Is it irreverent? Hell, yeah. Is it satirical? Y-uh rhymes with D-uh!

She then preceeded to ask me to take out that graphics from my webzine.

WHAT?!?!

I will not have the chilling effect in my own webzine! I lived with that chilling effect since I started working for the newspaper industry since 1999!

I won't compromise.

My Webzine is NON-PARTISAN and NON-PROFIT. In fact, I shelled out money for this one and I do not stand to gain anything and you're asking me to self-regulate in an arena that is not really seen as mainstream media?

Please!

The beauty of democracy, which I THINK we are still enjoying (right, proclamation 1017, hello?) allows people to make fun of political personalities.

Satire is the best medicine for a rotting system. I could go on and on about this but I'd rather surf the online chismis sites than further ingratiate a political ploy to silence its critics.

At the bristling of feathers regarding this issue, Diet Nazi lucidly put, "Perhaps, Luli won't see this. She is, after all, just the spokesperson."

So, if we get the job or not, I don't really care.

Hi, Luli.

As I type this, I'm currently working on a portrait of Gloria.

Shoot me.
