Tiara-Ra

Just a few months ago everybody was bristling with indignation over what Teri Hatcher’s character in Desperate Housewives had to say about doctors from the Philippines. Statements attesting to the “professionalism” and “expertise” of our medical practitioners were bandied about in the news, in blogs, and just about everywhere. But now one foolish doctor decides to post a video in youtube.com thinking it will be downright funny to watch them cheering and making fun of their patient. Okay, I have to admit the situation was funny. Gay guy gets too drunk to notice that his partner shoves in a canister in his ass. But the guy was dead serious when he went to the hospital and have the canister removed. he was a patient and they were doctors. the patient fully expected the doctors to treat him with all the respect they could muster: meaning his right to privacy should have been respected. that they laughed and jeered on him during the operation was bad enough but to post the video on youtube? oh come on. they’re nuts. they deserve to be horsewhipped.

A common complaint among writers or at least those I know of is the measly salary they get. I am not a pro at writing but I did some freelance jobs the past year and yeah, I wasn’t happy at all with the payment. Blogging pays better and it’s much easier though. Writing articles for newspapers and other traditional media requires intensive research and even though you’re passionate about the career you sometimes wonder if it’s worth it, especially when the landlord is at your door asking for your monthly rent.

When hollywood’s writers staged a strike I was a bit surprised. Hollywood is a very lucrative industry, known for lavish parties, luxurious clothes, and dazzling over the top salaries or talent fees. Apparently their writers are plagued by the same problem our writers face here. Sad. I think writers should get what they really deserve, they are after all the backbone of any movie or tv show. So what if it has good excellent cinematography or digital effects or the most popular stars in the planet? Without a good script the show will just be another bimbo with big boobs and blonde hair with a very empty brain. I have to read more about the issue still and see what demands were met by the industry…but this is all I can say: hooray writers!

i have a lot to write about..academic papers and all but i can’t. i just can’t. damn.

I can’t help but laugh so hard at this video. Gad! The lady was so serious she could have gotten away with the song if it wasn’t that familiar. Talk about butchering the english language! nyahaha.
