I am a Particle of Sovereignty

STATEMENT OF THE UP COLLEGE OF LAW FACULTY

Thu, 02 Mar 2006 17:27:35 GMT

Last Friday, February 24, 2006, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued Presidential Proclamation 1017, declaring a state of national emergency. Immediately after, she issued General Order No. 5, directing the chiefs of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to “immediately carry out necessary and appropriate actions and measures to suppress and prevent acts of terrorism and lawless violence.”

Since then, these two issuances have been used to justify the imposition of severe limitations on — and in certain instances the outright denial of — civil liberties guaranteed and protected under the Bill of Rights, including the freedoms of speech, expression, of the press, and public assembly. Ostensibly on the strength of Proclamation 1017 and General Order 5, a general ban on rallies has been imposed, the PNP has raided one newspaper and threatens to take over other media outfits which “fail to conform to government standards,” and numerous persons, including several members of Congress, have been arrested without warrant.

We, the faculty of the University of the Philippines College of Law, speaking with one voice, condemn in the strongest possible terms this brazen assault on essential freedoms. We firmly and unequivocally take the position that Proclamation 1017 and General Order 5, and the manner in which they are being applied by the Executive, constitute an unconstitutional infringement on civil liberties.
We refuse to accept the half-hearted excuse, put forth by some officials in the Arroyo administration, that the two issuances were “not intended” to violate the Bill of Rights.

The simple and undeniable fact is that Proclamation 1017 and General Order 5 have been utilized by the PNP and other executive organs to mount a vigorous and unrelenting campaign against perceived critics of the administration, in full and flagrant disregard of the protections enshrined in the Bill of Rights as well as the legal rules of procedure. Equally undeniable is that the President has sanctioned, or at the very least tacitly approved, these actions undertaken by her subordinates, all of whom are fully within her control.

The indisputable truth is that the violations of the Bill of Rights done pursuant to Proclamation 1017 and General Order 5 are acts of the President.

It must be emphasized that nothing in the Constitution can authorize the suspension of the Bill of Rights. Even under a declared state of martial law, which the Arroyo administration repeatedly insists this is not, the Bill of Rights remains fully operative. Thus, the suppression of free speech, the muzzling of the free press, and the prohibition on public assembly sanctioned by the two issuances cannot be construed as anything other than clearly and unequivocally unconstitutional.
Our civil liberties, particularly the freedom of speech and public assembly are indispensable to our democracy. We cannot allow them to be arbitrarily suppressed. We therefore call for the immediate and unconditional rescission of Proclamation 1017 and General Order 5.

Admittedly madrama and hastily written, but freedom of expression gives me the prerogative)

Sat, 25 Feb 2006 01:06:32 GMT

After going to Makati and having lunch with Glads and Ches, I was able to watch the news coverage on the President's Proclamation.
Earlier, en route to Makati, we had passed by Edsa Shrine and actually saw the rally. It seemed like a small crowd--far smaller than previous Edsa gatherings. However, as we all now, that things had escalated drastically and eventually ended in violence.
I watched, in my small TV, as members of the police bludgeon realists.

My God.

My reaction reminded me of Francois Mauriac's words when faced by Nazi brutality, "It is not always the events we have been directly involved in that affect us the most."

So I sat there, shaking--literally shaking as a rallyist (I'm assuming he was a rallyist), is yanked by the shirt by a police officer, thrown onto the pavement and is hit by a policeman's truncheon, not once, not twice but three times. The man was hit, despite the fact that he was writhing in the floor in pain, despite the fact that he had lifted his arms to shield himself, despite the fact that he was defenseless and weaponless despite the fact that he posed no threat to the policemen. The policeman left the man prone on the sidewalk. The man is motionless. Onlookers flock to him and try to see if he is alright. The man is conscious, however, he clutches his head, he is obviously in pain.

I bit my lip, I cry a little. And I scream, in the stillness of my dorm room, "Shit, putang ina! You can't do that!"

Granted, it is possible that the first blow came from militant rallyist. It is possible that peaceful dispersal methods were employed by the police, in accordance with BP 880. It is possible that maximum tolerance was initially observed by the police. However, the duty to observe maximum restrain does not cease after the first blow has been struck.

The fact that the first blow could have been made by the rallyist does not give the state unbridled license to restrain violent rallyist in any manner they choose to. Bastas Pambansa Blg. 880 imposes a standard of restraint upon the state and its agents (in this instance, the police). Batas Pambansa Blg. 880 requires that the military, police and other peace keeping authorities observe MAXIMUM TOLERANCE in dispersal of a public assembly. As such, once a rallyist poses no danger to a police man, the same policeman has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to keep on hitting that person. Regardless of the fact that the wrong was initially committed by the rallyist, an official/agent/employee of the state has no right to pummel the person back, except if such official/agent/employee is in danger of sustaining personal injury from the rallyist.

Section 3 (c) of Batas Pambansa Blg. 880 defines "Maximum tolerance" as the highest degree of restraint that the military, police and other peace keeping authorities shall observe during a public assembly or in the dispersal of the same.

In my book, hitting a defenseless man does not constitute the highest degree of restraint during the dispersal of a public assembly. Police (ideally) are specially trained in measures to peaceably disperse crowds such as this. This added training adds credence to the claim that the dispersal today at EDSA-SANTOLAN was not in accordance to the duty the BP880 imposes upon peace officers.
For those of you thinking, but this is merely a manifestation of the president's calibrated pre-emptive response and as such valid, you are wrong. A president with no legislative authority has no right to amend the maximum restrain rule in BP880, The CPR does not exist in our statute books or appear in any decision of the Supreme Court. This is of paramount importance because in a civil law country such as ours, laws must be written in the books and passed by a body with proper legislative authority to have legal effect. As such, calibrated pre-emptive response cannot prosper in this jurisdiction.

Now, several hours after the fact, the crowds are thinning. The people gathered in Ayala have been dispersed. Life has gone on. People have almost forgotten the events of today. The people feel numb, apathetic. The people's political skin has become leathered and calloused and weary as a result of too many parliaments in the streets (EDSA REVOLUTIONS) that have failed to achieve anything.
I admit, I have to some extent shared this opinion in the past. However, now, I refuse to close my eyes or shield my eyes.

A quote from Elie Wiesel: “The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”

When we say that there is no hope, that nothing could be done, that we'll just have to accept thing the way things are, this is when the battle is lost. This is when hope is truly lost.

Life can never be perfect. There is no single country that has a perfect, ideal system of government or with perfect government officials.

Reality will always be merely asymptotic to the ideal.

The fact that EDSA II failed does not mean that it is time to give up. This just means, we'll have to try and try again until we learn how to make things better.

Quoting Cheksa: "But if we don't even dare, then we might as well ask if the Filipino is worth dying for."

To people who say, there is no other alternative but GMA, we can't remove her. What will happen to us?

To this is reply, "Why not?"

I just want an alternative to this government, where it seems that our most fundamental rights may be waived with a proclamation, where rights are safeguarded to protect us from government abridgement yet is blatantly violated by the head of the government.

My Chemical Romance
It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish

For what you did to me
And what I'll do to you
You get, what everyone else gets
You get a lifetime
Let's go

Do you remember that day when we met
You told me this gets harder
Well, it did
Been holding on forever
Promise me that when I'm gone, you'll kill my enemies
The damage, you've inflicted temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole

We never got that far
This helps me to think all through the night
Bright lights that won't kill me now, won't tell me how
Just you and I, your stareless eyes remain

Hip hip hooray for me
You talk to me
But would you kill me in my sleep
Lay still like the dead
From the razor to the rosary
We could lose ourselves
And paint these walls in pitchfork red

I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole

This hole you put me in
Wasn't deep enough and I'm climbing out right now
You're running out of places to hide from me
When you go, just know that I will remember you
If living was the hardest part
We'll then one day be together
And in the end, we'll fall apart
Just like the leaves change in color
And then I will be with you
I will be there one last time now

When you go just know that
I will remember you

I lost my fear of falling
I will be with you
I will be with you

Last Night

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 02:14:17 GMT

We had bar-ops yesterday! For those who don't know, the bar-ops is where the UP alumni taking the bar get to make slaves of their underclassmen. All the barristers (people taking the bar) were shacked up in a hotel and us underclassmen had to run odd errands for them like buy them drinks, food, medicine and anything else they desire.

It was fun, if a bit exhausting because I had to walk back and forth to the mall to buy stuff. Afterwards, my blockmates and i squeezed into diane's car. (Hi Diane, if you're reading this! Comment ka naman, oh, para malaman ko na username mo. ^_^) On the way back to katipunan, we had some wonderful mindless chatter in the car, coupled with raunchy jokes and profanity despite the 'no lewd jokes and profanity in dianne's car rule'.

Glads, ches and i ate in shakey's upon getting back in katipunan. glads was feeling a tad depressed so we ordered some zombie from tia maria's and ate chicken and pizza at shakey's. What can i say? It was great! we talked for around 3 hours straight about life, love, sex, high standards, personal principles, sexual harrassment (a recent topic in our legal history class) and our own idiosyncratic ways. And the cigarettes and booze left me with the most wonderful buzz afterwards. Sigh. We just really needed a time to relax and de-stress.

Me, Glads and Ches

Found this quote about rules/law in a book masquerading as a romance novel:

"You may not write them, but you edit them, every day, to suit the situation. You have to because if the law, the spirit of them doesn't adjust or flex, it dies."

Legal method (a.k.a. statutory construction) in fiction.

Midterms

Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:40:30 GMT

hahaha, one midterm finished. I did okay in the midterms, but i bungled one out of 6 questions. I got a 4 for that question. Waaah, am very disappointed. the test was easier than expected, though.

Off to read Origin in Death and study for consti.

Sat, 13 Aug 2005 09:07:23 GMT

waaah. school is very draining and tiring. the cases seem endless.

i've been questioning whether or not i really want to be in law school. whether or not i really want to live this kind of crazy lifestyle.

But you know what, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I WOULD RATHER DO. Yes, it may be difficult. but all things worth getting are difficult.

and for me, this is worth it. And there's no school I'd rather go to than UP. With my wondeful classmates. With my brilliant teachers--who make believe that there are good lawyers in this world, and that you can grow up without losing the strenght of one's convicitons.

Hahaha, midterms here i come. ^_^

Freshman Week!

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 03:46:05 GMT

We had freshman night last night. It includes: Ms. Freshman Beauty Contest (Read: Men dressed in drag), a musical presentation from all the blocks, an date auction with a block representative and awarding ceremony for all the other contests during the last week. My block had won first place in the volleyball game, first in the palarong pinoy, second place in billiards, third place in the basketball game and fourth in the vice relay (we're such good girld and boys, we're not much for drinking and smoking, hehehe).

We weren't really sure if we could win the whole thing. We had tried to practice more for several weeks but most of them were didn't push through, so we had a lot of practices where we weren't just doing anything 60% of the time. However, we were able to pull it off. It was, by all accounts, a pretty good presentation. We had a good concept in the first place (thanks to lenipaps) and a good enough sound editing team (Ten and myself) to carry out the concept. The actual presentation was great. All the people really gave it their all!

Here's the script of our musical:

"ABET GOES TO LAW SCHOOL”

(PG 13 Version)

1. INTRODUCTION

*Star Wars Main Theme (00:08 – 00:16)*

Narrator: Mga Ilang linggo na ang nakaraan, sa isang tanyag na law school sa diliman, may isang binatang nangarap na tumangap sa hamon ng tadhana, baon ang angking talino, galing at kapal ng mukha, buong tapang niyang pinasok ang mundo ng UP College of Law....

2. Abet hops on to the stage, and makes pa-cute and pa-charming, starts to dance

Abet (who is played by Third): Hey guys, I'm Abet, alam n'yo ba, I made it to UP LAw! Grabe! Astig, I'm going to learn law in the GRAND manner, and become a great lawyer, first day ng school ngayon, I can't wait....

*First Day Funk (00:00-00:26) = (00:58-01:23)*

Classmates join the dance

3. Mawiwindang ang lahat sa biglang pagpasok ng isang nakaitim na propesor. Magkukumpulan sa isang sulok

*Nightwish -Phantom of the Opera (00:00:26) + (01:06-01:39)*

Magpupunit ng classcards si Phantom

**Woman screaming**

Recitations:

Professor/Phantom: Jacoba!
Mr. Jacoba: Yes sir, what's the question sir?
Professor/Phantom: How dare you? You do not answer a question with a question!*Tears recitation card, Jacoba collapses in a dead heap* Bagro ( who is abet)? Look at yourself! You do not belong here! What makes you think you even stand a chance? *tears recitation cards*

*Gandalf sound clip – You shall not pass!!!!!*

Lahat ng natitirang nakatayo ay sabay-sabay na “mamamatay”

4. Magsisimula ang sisihan sa pagitan ng mga magkakaklase. Many shovings and people blaming each other..

Dialogue (00:05)

Girl: Ohmyghosh! i should've worn my mini skirt today
Boy: Mag-aapeal ako sa supreme court! that was so unconstitutional...
Boy2: Ikay kasi ang tanga-tanga mo sumagot...

5. Ma-re-realize ng mga blockmates na kasalanan nila ang lahat

*We Had it Coming – slow- A capella (00:00-00:15)*

*Cell Block Tango from Chicago(02:15-02:30)

6. Dahil sa mga pangyayari, lahat ng blockmates ay demoralized. Ngunit sa gitna ng kalungkutan, lalapitan ni Suzy si Abet at

*Kenny G -Silhouette (00:14-00:23)*

Abet: So is this how it ends? Even before it begins? Hanggan dito nalang ba? Why? Why? WHY~~~!
Suzy: Abet, huwag ka na malungkot, it's just the first day of school...
Abet: Pagkatapos ng nangyari kanina, ano pa ang mangyayari sa atin? Wala na akong nagawa, we have nothing...
Suzy: Hwag mong sabihinyan, abet, you just have to believe in yourself, tandaan mo, all the great lawyers have to go through their first day in law school too, if we believe in our selves and each other, makakaya natin 'to. Diba blockmates?
Blockmates: Yes, I concur. kaya natin yan...
Abet: Tama ka, it's just the first day of school. Di pa tayo pwede sumuko, if we take it one day at a time, then maybe we can see it through, together--
Suzy: Yes, together *they hold hands*

*Annie – Tomorrow (00:05 – 00:28)*
With make shift suns for parts that say, 'the sun will come out tomorrw'

***

Also, out Ms. Freshman candidates both won awards Oliver won Ms. Talent and Bruno won Ms. Freshman. Yay Boys!

Here's an email of one of my blockmates:

Let me be the first to congratulate our block for being the best freshman block!!

Last night's activity was truly a great success! Imagine, our block bagged the 2 major awards of the night, namely Best Musical and Best Block. Add to that, our beautiful (sobrang totoo 'to dahil madaming girls ang natibo sa kanila, myself included!) Miss Freshman candidates won two very important awards: Miss Talent (the dashing Oliver 'Olivia' Yee with the killer body and all) and MIss Freshman (the alluring Bruno 'Brunella' Tangangco, because of whom nursery rhymes will never be the same again).. You guys are the best! We love you guys!

Nakakaoverwhelm talaga! Ang astig astig talaga ng block natin! We really are the best! WHOOHOO! Kudos to all who made everything possible! I love our block! D Best!

I'm sick for the third time since I started law school roughly two months ago.

is this a sign?

*sigh*

and I never used to get sick.

Mon, 18 Jul 2005 11:34:27 GMT

so i hated the new harry potter book. So sue me.

I can appear in court in three years. Hmmm. How about that?

block love

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 10:18:10 GMT

i love my blockmates. *sniff*

whenever i thought of myself in law school, i never thought i'd enjoy it so much. you guys make everything worth it.

i wonder if the other blocks have this much fun?

school, work and age

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 14:24:15 GMT

DANES, how was your first day? *pokepokeUPDATEpokepoke*

School is still hell, but i'm definitely adjusted now.

While my blockmates and I were eating isaw, fishball and dirty ice cream, they all told me i looked like I was 16 years old. Goddammit, i've looked 16 years old for the last 4 years. I looked 16 when i was actually sixteen, but it seems i haven't aged at all since then. Even my roommates refuse to believe i'm in law school because i look like i'm a freshman in college. gggrrrrr....

Weekend

Sun, 10 Jul 2005 23:30:03 GMT

The weekend was a blast.

SATURDAY:

-Didn't get called for recits in Crim

-Plucked Bruno's eyebrows for the Miss Freshman Beauty Contest that we have for freshman week. He's dressing up as a slutty dominatrix bitch-goddess from Sin City.

-Went with timi to rockwell to see gaiman. OhmyGOD. he is so much fucking HOTTER in person than i ever imagined.

-Met up with some college friends who are studying in ateneo rockwell.

-Met up with danes in the Gaiman signing. *waves* I have your picture....mwahahaha. Well, martin has your picture.

-Went to greenhills with Tim to hang in our favorite coffee shop there. i was so tired from the Gaiman thing and from too many sleepless nights, so i dozed on Timi's shoulder while he read a magazine. After an hour or so, he treated me coffee to get me awake (aww, sweetness). We looked at the newly opened fully booked in greenhills (which has very little on stock). Tim also was wonderful enough to bring me to several book stores and I salivated over things we can't afford.

-Went to my law school block party. WHoo. Section D rocks. I got to introduce timi to my block, although he had to leave early to run some errands. I ended up going home at four in the morning. Did things i haven't done in years, like smoking and using beer as a chaser for tequilla. My blockmates and i are such philosophical drunks(as opposed to happy drunks and angry drunks). We talked about male-female dynamics, sex, Filipino sexuality, the current political situation, youthful idealism and the obligations of maturity, and love. It was a weird cross between a raymond carver story and a formal debate, mixed in with pathetic little law school jokes.

-I ended up drinkig too much tequilla because of this i-have-never-done-something drinking game we had. A person makes a statement like 'i have never performed a blow' and if this doesn't hold true for you, you have to drink a shot. Too many of my blockmates have never been on a date, or been in a relationship for more than one year, so i ended up being one of people who had to drink the most. Hehehe, i'd curse my life experiences if it wasn't so fun.

SUNDAY:

-Nursed a hang-over, had lunch with the folks, spent the day with tim and his family and read a GREAT book. Pretty damn good all things considering.

Craziness

Mon, 04 Jul 2005 03:04:46 GMT

School is so goddamned crazy. grrrrr. I actually was sick again over the weekend. I never get sick. Now i've been sick twice since the start of the school year. grrrr.

thank god I have my blockmates with me. I have such lovely, lovely people in my block.

Others:
-I moved into my new dorm yesterday, i'm actually living in katiupnan again. it's weird living here again after graduating from college.

-The dorm provides high speed internet. whoo-hoo!

-No classes today because ma'am beth is busy. whoo-hoo! no grilling in persons today!

-Waves to danes! i miss you, dear! ^_^ well, companies like 'em young. they're more malleable that way. read your post. 'atta girl, what fun would life be if you compromised on what you want to do? let's get together one saturday or something.

For Timi

After an Afternoon by Jason Mraz

I bare my windowed self untamed and untrained
Dreams that hardly touch our complexions truest faults
If room enough for both my drowsy spirit shall fall
Bold waves tumble to the season of my heart
You have offended my faith and my trust
Until all is lost into the beauty of the day
Until all is lost
(see-yeah, see-yeah)
And I think It's Lost

And there's something in the way you laugh
And it makes me feel like a child
Aspects of life they confuse me
You and your thesis amuse me
After and afternoon with you
And your rich brown eyes
Your lips and dark hair
Elbows and exposed knees tossing toward the ceiling (a-ling a-ling a ling)
After an afternoon

Face to palm
Tear to tear
And
Mouth to tongue
Heart to ground
Heart to ground
Say, "I am in love"
Say, "Heart to ground"
Say, everything
Oh, Heart
Oh, Heart
Oh, Heart to ground
I am in love

Law School

Thu, 16 Jun 2005 21:20:47 GMT

Law school is difficult. The sheer workload just might kill me.

But I believe I can do this, and possibly well. The cases are actually VERY fun to read. (Kilosbayan vs. Guingona!!!! ^_^)

Might as well

Sun, 12 Jun 2005 09:02:31 GMT

List your current six favorite songs, then pick six other people that have to do the same.

1. Out of Control (Live) - U2 : Whoa! I will always, always LOVE U2. I actually got this song from a U2 concert
dvd that we have. just fiddled with it, and viola! I got a U2 Live soundtrack.

2. Last Beautiful Girl - Matchbox Twenty : Why do I get the feeling that all of matchbox's songs were about the same girl?

3. Bright Lights - Matchbox Twenty : Why did you have to break up???? Why? Why? i haven't fulfilled my rob-thomas-on- top-of-a-baby-grand-piano fantasy

4. I'll Stop the World and Melt with you - The Cure : A classic. The cure never fails to make me smile.

5. Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley : One of my favorite songs of all time.
Did you say, "No this can't happen to me?"

6. Waiting in Vain - Bamboo : I just love how jazzy this version sounds. it's so much better
than M.Y.M.P.'s version. Yuck.

Law School

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 23:43:06 GMT

A week into law school, and i'm already sick with fever. Could it be the stress?

20, 000 pesos

Mon, 30 May 2005 13:07:12 GMT

10,000 - Oakley glasses. Gorgeous, gorgeous glasses

1,800 - a crystal case for my iPod mini

1,500 - The two remaining TBPs of fables that i don't have, March of the Wooden Soldiers and Mean Seasons

3,000 - Book spending money for Fully Booked

2,500 - Book spending money for National Bookstore

1,200 - Book Spending money for Powerbooks
________

20,000

Grrrr, I hate it that i don't get an allowance from my grandmother anymore. Yes. Keisie's spoiled. so shoot me. But until she has the money, she has to content herself with this list.

If you had P20,000 spending money, what would you spend it on?

good immune system, my ass

Mon, 30 May 2005 12:56:18 GMT

I got sick last friday.

My family was worried, and my fever gave me an excuse to just rest and be pampered and taken care of. My folks ordered chinese food for me, etc. It was great.

Much to my dismay, I was feeling better by saturday morning, and all traces of fever was gone. Grrr. it's always been like this for me, whenever i'd get sick, it would only last one day or two at most. Case in point, i once met up with martin in megamall when i was sick. at lunch, i was shivering and was so weak that i couldn't feed myself so martin had to help me eat. Five hours after this, i was walking around greenhills, shopping, chills and fever-free.

Grrr. I hate my immune system, i can never milk my sicknesses for all it's worth.

Addicted to this Song

Mon, 16 May 2005 03:23:54 GMT

When I read that Danes was listening to it, I started listening to it. And now i can't get it out of my head. I love Jeff Buckley!

I really want to photoshop these lyrics. I don't think it'll work with any drawings i've seen over the internet, so i'm angling for some real pictures. It'd be great with a girl looking out a window with a phone in her hand or something like that. I really need to save up money for that domain i want. I can't wait to have a place to dump all my pseudo artsy photoshop doodlings

Last Goodbye by: Jeff Buckley

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then i'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

1) Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

2) Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

3) Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over

***

1 and 3 are optional things to photoshop. 2 is something I definitely want to do. Want to model for me danes? Hehehe, I know, I know, you have soul/camera issues. ;P

right back atcha danes!

Your Survivor Palau Twin is Gregg

Smart and logical, you love to plot and plan.

Just make sure others don't catch wind of your big ideas.

Who Are You From Survivor Palau?

I didn't cheat either. He may have lost the game, but boy, was he HOT!

Well, i guess I'm not a conniving bitch for nothing, eh Danes? ;P
