Angono Petroglyphs in Binangonan

By Deus

During Holy Weeks in the Philippines, people got taste of long vacation,--no class, and no work. Some stay in their home to spend quality time with their family; some take a plunge in beaches and on various resort; some do nothing they only want to have a rest/ peace of mind. Also it is a time in the year where people remember the sacrifice done of Lord Jesus Christ for redemption for our sins.

Last Black Saturday, I decided to spend the day walking, taking pictures and gave respect to the respective chapels I passed by. I walked by my footsteps; my itinerary started at Antipolo City and ended my travel at East Ridge Golf Club at Binangonan Rizal. In my adventure I met Lola Ina from Upper Sakura; she was kind enough to let me charged the battery of my digital camera for free. In our conversation, she told me a cave nearby that I might want to explore, then, I asked her the details. And eventually, I explore the cave and took me roughly two hours. The trail going to cave is very confusing. And take note of the pseudo entrance of the cave, you might end up tumbling down beneath the surface. It has many chambered and; boasts of massive rock formation, and skylights. I wanted to further explore the cave but the time doesn’t permit me. I endured mild dehydration because I only brought 500 ml of water. I’m looking for Gatorade or Rush Fitness Water in the Sari-Sari Store for faster rehydration but it was not available. Only Cobra Energy Drink was available. I bought one and drunk it. It replenished my energy but I’m still thirsty. Gatorade and Rush Fitness Water still the best for me. Prior to my exploration of the cave at Madrigal, I went to Angono Petroglyphs. It is considered as a highly significant cultural landmark because of it’s the oldest known work of art in the Philippines. Human and animal like figure are engraved on the rock wall made of volcanic tuff. The figures also considered the oldest known art work in the Philippines, dating back to circa 3000 B.C. I hope that more efforts should be done in the preservation of these one of a kind art work since vandalism is evident in the rock wall. Help us preserve these for the generations to come; we should share the beauty of nature not destroying it.

Much of the talking, I’ll organize an expedition but not in solo, now as a group. I’ll post the outcome of our exploration next time. A piece of an advice if you plan for solo expedition, please think twice. I suggest asking for guide from the local villager there.

Thank you for reading my blog. -Deus

Whore of Deception

By Deus

We gave you our trust

Promises after promises

But only left are premises

Continue, our rage will burst

Turning the world around

Behold, Behold, Behold

Whore of deception

End for your desperation

Standing in the of misery – fuck your better half

For he is the reason why us living on depression

In the flame of hatred I beseech you dance for your redemption

Continue and you’ll see the fury of the nation

Allow me to give you the fucking decision

Cut throat, cut throat in two half

Blood will spilled on the promise land

Smashed head and scrambled brain will be fed to needy

Live in torment for you are so much greedy

Scraped vagina grilled on fire ready for the feast

Slice burned flesh all set for the beast

Bones were incinerated while teeth served as ornamental

Turning the world around

Behold, Behold, Behold

Whore of deception

End for your desperation

Pulp Summer Slam IX Countdown to Extinction

On my previous post, I provide you details about the Pulp Summer Slam IX. Now, I’ll share my experienced from that congregation of Philippine Metal heads.

It was my eight times minus the second year due to unforeseen circumstances I don’t attended the concert. Many had changed for example the venue from Rizal Stadium in Pasig City to this new home of Pulp Summer Slam at Amoranto Stadium in Quezon City. As years passed the audience became younger and younger. Summer Slam on one way or another it helps build the Pinoy Metal Scene regardless of your music genre to its new level. Sometime we couldn’t differentiate which is local or the foreign bands from the rest. It only proves that we are competitive enough globally as music as concern.

Before the day of the concert, the rain heavy pouring down and three low pressure area were spotted by the PAGASA. I told to myself, it was doomed if the rain kept on falling. Morning, day of the concert; I’m hesitant because the rain was still falling down. But suddenly, it was after lunch then, the skies cleared and the prayer of the metal fans succeeded. So, I’m ready to go. I prepare myself again for an enduring entrance line up, for exhausting line up of crowd without sense of direction just to buy T-Shirt from Tribal Gear (time was wasted and enjoyment time lessen), and seemed endlessly waiting for your turn for the pungent smell portable comfort room. As always and might not be improved unless the organizer tried to become an audience or part of the crowd before they could act on these. As for security, they managed the crowd well but sometimes the bouncer our very annoying. Generally, the concert for me it turned to be big success. Thanks for the organizer Pulp Vernon Go, Julia Clarette from Eat Bulaga emcee and to all Sponsors like Red Horse Beer, Pizza Hut, Tribal Gear, and Smart Telecommunication and their staffs. ‘Mabuhay ang Philippine Metal Scene’.

A new breed of Metal up rises and ready to turn global.

I hope I can be a part of this growing community.

We have the power to change the society by sharing this message to your friends.

Thanks and regards,
