the best comedians from Sydney and Melbourne on Monday,
November 6, 2017 at the Burwood RSL Club, Burwood.
Headline comedians will be Gary Eck, Andrew Barnett;
Bruce Griffiths, and Oliver Phommavanh.
The Rotary Club of Burwood is sponsoring the show.
Club president Walter Bock said Rotary has reached out to
Shekinah through MinPRA, the Mindanao Poverty Relief Action.
It is also involved in many other support projects in the

Alvarez. Imagine them to be cute, cuddly, furry, huggable and
endearing dolls. Imagine the Elmo doll. Now try to imagine a
“Tickle Me Rody” one. Laugh as he laughs. Now, doesn’t that
make you feel better already?
6) Allow yourself to be amused when the President says
cuss words. After all, which other leader in the world does
that? He is unique. He is so amazingly funny. Like what is there
to like, and suppress the reasons why you don’t like him. It
is hard but if you’ve taken enough drinks, it is manageable.
Avoid judging him. It will only awaken your conscience again
and make you miserable.
7) Read nothing but Philippine News Agency bulletins.
You will always be well informed about how well the

Bomediano received a ‘Plaque of Recognition’ at a peace
summit in Seoul, South Korea on Monday, September 18, 2017.
Bomediano, the only delegate from Australia, joined delegates
from 230 cities across the world including the Philippines
to the celebration of the 3rd Annual Summit of the Alliance
of Religions Peace (WARP). The Summit was hosted by the
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light led by
chairman Man Hee Lee of South Korea. n

government is doing. You will also realize that those know-it-
all, holier-than-thou people on Facebook who want facts are
subversives. Those who support the President are the sources
of truth. They have deep thoughts and use “symbolism,”
which unfortunately is misunderstood by many as “fake
news.”
Anyone who fights such truth tellers is ignorant and
malicious, and deserves a “Putang ina” from the President.
8) Join organizations like VACC that fight criminals and
“truly care” for the victims of violent crimes. In fact, I just saw
their leader Jimenez crying on TV for poor children who have
been killed. Never mind if he had no real tears. He cried just
like PNP’s Bato and PAO’s Perfidy Acosta. I can detect sincerity.
It affected me so much I was catatonic the rest of the day.
And lastly: 9) Make an altar at home. Put the image of the President
in the center. Look at it every day. Know him. Pray to him. Love
him deeply. Surrender your will. He knows everything. He is
God-sent.

I hope this article made you feel better, although deep in
my heart, I doubt it did. Sometimes I forget my readers are way
smarter than I give them credit for.
Ignore everything I said then. But here’s one real piece of
advice that has worked for you and me so far.
Keep avoiding the Kool Aid! You know what I mean. You
are already okay and are on the right path. Be like Teflon. Don’t
let the insanity stick to you. Trust your conscience. You will
come out of this craziness not only alive, but with your soul
and sanity intact! n
