Are You Fed Up? Stand Up Now and Fight Against a Conspiracy!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood pambansang blogger was recently given the opportunity to watch a documentary movie entitled "Fed Up." It was smart play of words meant to have a double meaning to tackle the issues surrounding a common knowledge that have stricken the nation, yet somehow we are just made to believe it is a "culture" that cannot be changed.

Thing again! Eating wrong was never a culture. It is a collective conditioning that were forced on us by an industry that are only after our wallets. They don't care of the increasing cases of obesity and malnutrition. They don't care if more people are getting sick and inflicted with diseases even at a young age. They don't care if they steer away the minds of the youth from the real and natural foods.

But if you're thinking its is only the work of those industries involved in selling, distributing and manufacturing food, then you are still blind of the facts that even the other companies like the pharmaceuticals, insurance agencies, and other indirect but obvious "beneficiaries" of bad health, would benefit a lot from the dilemma of an ever-increasing population of fat and unhealthy people."Fed Up" takes an honest look at why, and exposes the food industry for what it is – a profit chain that considers health unimportant at best.

The event was led by Jan Vincent Ong and was held at the Awakenings Clinic located at room 351 in Mile Long building Amorsolo corner Rufino street in Makati city. Sugarleaf' s Marketing Director, Angelo Narciso Songco, was there to watch the show, He was the one who invited me to this event. Zigla sponsored the food and drinks consisting of the healthier alternative kind of food.

Wazzup Pilipinas Original Short Stories Series: Hyde

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I am a Kpop fan and VIXX is one of my fandom. They had this song entitled "Hyde". When you watch the music video and familiarize yourself with the lyrics, you’ll see that these six guys were trying their best to conquer the evil person inside them who tries to kill the girl they love. Their song was also inspired by the novel of Robert Louis Stevenson, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". As the song says “Jekyll and Hyde, I am both of them..”

Edward Hyde in the story is a small, deformed, disgusting man somewhat younger than Dr. Jekyll who is apparently devoid of a profession. Lanyon, Utterson and Enfield all describe witnessing something indefinably evil and horrific in Edward Hyde's face. He is often compared to animals, implying that he is not a fully evolved human being.

Despite these descriptions, Hyde is generally civilized in his interactions with others, most notably Utterson and Lanyon. Dr. Jekyll describes Hyde as "pure evil," who menaces society at night, trampling a girl in the street and murdering Sir Danvers Carew. We learn at the end of the story that Edward Hyde and Dr. Henry Jekyll are in fact the same person.
