Brazil rocked by abortion for 9-year-old rape victim

dorkinprogress:

(via The Independent)

WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK EVEN. I CANNOT.

—-

Declaring that “life must always be protected”, a senior Vatican cleric has defended the Catholic Church’s decision to excommunicate the mother and doctors of a nine-year-old rape victim who had a life-saving abortion in Brazil.

She was a nine-year-old rape victim, and might have been so for years. She went to the hospital because she had severe stomach pains. When I was at that age, my teachers were only trying to explain to me that girls get their menstruation, and that girls sometimes get cramps at that time of the month. My mother was teaching me basic girl things like putting on a pad. Nine-year olds cry when they trip and scrape their knees.

I can’t even begin to imagine the pain she went through before she had to go the hospital, and before her emergency abortion. But I can imagine that I would turn to God and my Church in a trying and difficult time.

Now imagine what it feels like to find out that even they refuse to give you the strength to get through this.

Papahirapan kita: GLUTTONY. Isang sagot lang ha. ISA LANG.

MAGS. WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME?

So hi guys, yes. I love to eat. My parents and the rest of my family have always been the ultimate foodies. We even have a family group on facebook where we either share what movie we must watch next, the latest funny post, or a food post. It’s 70% food posts. We are a family of adventurous eaters. BUT BECAUSE MAGS SAID I CAN ONLY NAME ONE, I’d have to say bibingka.

Oh yes, that warm fluffy rice cake with that slight smokey flavor from the banana leaf, topped with slices of red egg and toasted coconut shavings. OH MAN.

7 deadly sins. put one in my ask.

  • Lust: Something that I find attractive.
  • Pride: Something that I like about myself.
  • Sloth: Something that I dislike about myself.
  • Envy: Something I wish I was better at.
  • Gluttony: One of my favorite foods.
  • Wrath: Something that gets me angry.
  • Greed: Something I can’t get enough of.

My Box Story.

Scrolling down my Tumblr dash, I saw my friend Mags’s post of her own box story. Without reading the analysis, I made my own box story. The outcome was odd, but it somehow made sense. Below is my attemp to turn it into a written piece (and after it you will find what each symbol stands for).

Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People (live VEVO Presents)

This shall now be my new favorite live performance. ALL THE EPICNESS. THE INSTRUMENTAL. THAT OUTRO. EVEN THAT (GOD FORBID) DUBSTEP-INSPIRED OUTRO. I CAN’T EVEN.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. OH GOD.

Houdini by Foster the People

This is still the best music video I’ve seen in a long time. Foster the People always seems to have awesome music vids. UGH. 

Just as epic as Warrior by Mark Foster + Kimbra + A-Track.

Call It What You Want by Foster the People (live on Letterman)

I swear these guys are the cutest things. Live Mark Foster is such an awkward little cute dork. A talented one, at that. This guy transfers from instrument to instrument like a madman. IT’S CRAZY AWESOME TO WATCH.

Damn, I bet these guys are a really epic treat live.

I’m going to be a total girl with this post… I REALLY WANT THESE JEFFREY CAMPBELL NIGHT WALK SHOES.

Never Let Me Go by Florence + The Machine cover by Kate McGill

Acoustic and sung with a powerful childlike voice. It sent chills down my spine. I swear this cover is beautiful. Made me wonder what it would be like if Birdy made a cover of a Florence song. THAT WOULD BE SO BEAUTIFUL. OH MY. ;_;

Spiderwebs. :( This phone needs to be replaced. Hi mom, I’m ready for the BB now. ;_;

In other news! I was talking to my grandfather on skype just a while ago. He was telling me about how cheap “the new” iPad was, then asked me if I wanted an iPad. I said yes. DUH. I did have this feeling that he’d send me one, but a part of me thinks he’s just kidding. He better not be kidding me. He already got me way excited.  I want my iPad now. AHAHAHA and I was so proud that I do not own a single Apple product (not even an iPod. NOT EVEN EARPHONES!)! Oh wow, first it was the decision to take the Blackberry over the Android phone. Now it’s an iPad. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME.

I keep hearing all these people making a fuss over Gotye. Honestly, I’m making a bigger fuss over Kimbra. I didn’t like “Somebody That I Used to Know” that much. People probably found it fresh and mind blowing since all they’ve been hearing are mainstream crap pumping through the airwaves.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad track. It’s was just okay. But I think that track is actually far from Gotye’s actual sound, and he has better works. Gotye has a very strong new wave vibe, if you ask me. He also has something that reminds me of a British garage sound. This, “Easy Way Out,” has got to be the better track in the album, if you ask me. I bet the hipsters only paid attention when he sung YOU CAN GET ADDICTED TO A CERTAIN KIND OF SADNESS. What a typical hipster thing to do.


I bet I’ll get flak for this blog post. COME AT ME BROS.

Ah, Jejaview. This band has a special place in my heart.

Back in 2010, I was one of the heads of the MCHS fair concert. I oversaw all operations for this event, and even did some myself. One of my main tasks was getting performers for the event. This band is special to me because I remember that they actually contacted us to tell us that they wanted to perform in our event. I was a bit iffy at first, having no knowledge about the band whatsoever. But I listened to them, and they were good.

Come the event itself, the boys were very nice and gave a great performance! They gave us no headaches with unreasonable requests. Speaking as someone who has handled events from different aspects (from being a prod assistant, to handling marketing, to being the designer), these boys were heaven-sent for my event.

I wish them all the best in their endeavors, and the latest one is launching their music video for this song which happens tomorrow. :)

↳ jess is by far the best person that i know, so if you guys let anything happen to her, i’m gonna come here and crazy murder you.

I couldn’t resist. I just had to reblog this. Patty and I are the less attractive version of these two. We’re no less quirky or weird, though. :)

We were innocently playing around with the new refrigerator magnets. We came up with stuff like TINY CHUM. My father? Well he came up with this. THIS IS MY LIFE ON THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR, ARABIA EDITION.
