Dressing up..

So I do bet that you guys are familiar with the image on teh left. Especially those Information Technology students like me. But for those that didnt know a thing bout HTML..

We use the tag </> to end a certain command. And from that I do believe that you had already comprehend what Im trying to explain here.

Kung kasing dali lang sana ng isang HTML document ang bawat problema at krisis na hinaharap natin sa buhay. Siguro wala nang kailangang mahirapan at mag-way. Kung pwedeng lang sanang kapag nag type tayo ng </poverty> eh matataos na ang kahirapan sa mundo. Eh di ang sarap sana nun. Kaso lang hindi ganun kadali ang buhay eh. Araw araw tayo nakaka saksi ng mga masasaklap na realidad ng buhay.

Siguro nakakakita rin tayo ng mga taong naghihirap. Or much worse,Nararanasan nating maghirap..first hand. And in these cruel days. Everyone seems to ignore these realities. Were being sidetracked with all the booze and not-so-important things. But there’s something in me that wants to swim against the flow. And spreaking up these days will turn you into a joke. Seriously. To be honest, madalas akong ma dissed sa klase dahil isa raw akong Aktibista. But that aint a big deal. Siguro hindi lang sila ganun ka “mulat”.

And the best way to present yourself as an Activist is by being what you are. From the way you write,,speak and wear your clothes. And according to Kris Canimo..:“The coolest way to make your social statement and enable the public to see it is to proudly wear them out – and that is the very reason ClosingTagTees is here. In these high tech days, HTML is like a universal language. Every average person with a modem and a little common sense would easily recognize what’s printed in your shirt, making ClosingTagTees a perfect tool to spread social awareness, and at the same time, personal opinion.”

By seeing whats printed on your shirt..People will start to think..to think deeper. And hopefully the will get hooked too. And by the following day. They will too help eradicate and eliminate the burden that we used to call social Apathy.

RAGE!

RAGE – The Jerks!

Children begging at the streets at night
Knocking on cars till the morning light
People standing in line for a kilo of rice
Welcome to the dark ages, the era of lies

Dreams of progress, of visions gone mad
Mendiola’s still drenched with innocent blood
Demolition men rumbles through smokey mountain homes
Darkness indeed, justice dressed in gloom

But I’ll go not gently into the night
Rage against the dying of the light
Sing a song about this terrible sight
Rage until the lightning strikes
Go not gently, go not gently, go not gently
And RAGE with me

And the names and faces of the tyrants change
But poverty, pain and murder remains
And the voices of truth are locked up in chains
Darkness remains, freedom in flames

May bago na akong favorite song. Kung sakaling makikita ko pa ang mga lumang “slam-book” na sinagutan ko dati..ay babaguhin ko ang dati kong naisulat na fave song dun at ilalagay ko ang kantang ito ng The Jerks. Actually dati ko pa to naririnig pero ngaun ko lang talaga naintindihan ang mensahe and esensya ng kanta. Ang sarap paulit ulitin. Siguro dahil sa mga oras na ito ng aking buhay ay ngayon ko nararanasan at nararamdaman ang talagang nais ipahatid ng kanta. Maraming kanta na ang narinig ko. Pero ito lamang. Ang tagos tagusan at nagbigay sakin ng kakaibang pakiramdam.

At ang pakiramdam na iyon ay, GALIT.
