Kawawa naman yung mga namatay sa Glorietta 2. Nakakagulat talaga biglaan yung nangyari. *tsk tsk* sayang ang mga buhay. Kung ano man ang sanhi ng pagsabog dapat may magbayad. Kawawa talaga yung mga pamilya, yung isa dun pumunta lang siya dun kasama ng office mate niya para mag-lunch. Nakakalungkot at nakakagulat dahil naisip ko din puwedeng ako yun. Puwedeng nagpunta lang ako dun for some reason. Di talaga natin masasabi ang buhay.
The past weekend I've been sick once again. Felt like I was gonna die... buti na lang I'm feeling a lot better now :-) |

| Blog Update: In the News |

It's extremely frustrating watching the news these days. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Sure, Gloria isn't perfect. Sure she might possibly be corrupt. She probably did rig the elections. But guys be freakin' serious those who are criticizing her is far more corrupt and probably more sinful than Gloria herself.
It is just too sad that this is how things are going in our country. Another thing that agitated me more when I watched the news. The groups calling for GMA's resignation are the freakin' burgis, who the heck do they think they are? Calling for good government etc. Yung isa dun mukhang matronang wala lang magawa sa buhay. I'm not generalizing but they should contemplate on what they are really fighting for.
Nakisali pa ang Makati Business Club sa gulo. Kailangan daw imbestigahan ang mga allegation kay Gloria. Well, how about making employment practices and trade fairer for the workers, farmers and laborers. They serve as the back bone of the country and yet there needs, no there rights, are not given to them by these ultra-rich capitalists. The MBC is the premier Business Club in the country wherein some of the richest businessmen are members of the organization.
How can people who live by unjust trade practices, who bask in their extreme wealth and opulence stand to criticize someone whose sin is far less than what these businessmen have done. As the old saying goes "galit ang magnanakaw sa kapwa magnanakaw". Sa tingin ko they should just leave GMA alone malapit naman nang matapos ang term niya and please enough of the matronas of the so-called "civil society groups" bumili na lang sila nang mga Vuitton, Gucci, Constantin Vacheron, Armani, Vera Wang atbp na puwede nilang pag-gastusan.
Ang tunay na may karapatan ay ang mga mass-based orgs na lumalaban at naghihirap. Sila ay ang mga walang kotseng gagamitin papunta sa rally o malaking bahay na uuwian matapos magprotesta. Sila ang may "moral authority" na magsabi kung ano ang mali dahil sila ang nasa dulo ng social strata at isa sa mga pinaka-naapi.
Yun lamang po. Nasabi lang... |

| Blog Update: On Applications and Rude People |

mood:  ecstatic

Was one of the most stressful days of my life.
Had an exam in the morning after that rushed to Makati for a job.
The application process was so long. It was tiring sitting in a chair doing and waiting for things to happen. *sigh*
It was fun to apply but the last person who interviewed me was a bit rude but I guess you just have to deal with them. I'm just wondering why people can't extend a little compassion to other people. I think I was polite as I could possibly be.
Anyway, I got the job but asked for a week to think it over and decide if ever I want to push through with it. Probably not hehehe
So that's about it. I'm extremely happy right now ecstatic even but i'd just keep it to myself and won't post it here. Wohoo!!! Yeah!!!
So here's a pic from the job process. Kasama ko nanaman si Jaimee my job-hunting buddy hehehe
Jaimee and Me *again hehehe* |

----- Darkness in my room -----
Darkness in the room
Light seeping through the window
Dusk is at hand
Feelings of overflowing emptiness
Nothing
None
No emotions whatsoever
Fleeting emotions
Numbness within
Darkness once again
Lying silently listening to the deafening silence
Darkness in my room...

Makati's great. Ang ganda nga ng city. Very well planned. Astig. Parang naglalakad sa Manahattan.
Jaimee and I met up yesterday for a job interview at e-Telecare. We were suppose to be interviewed at 1PM pero walang dalang ID si Jaimee so hindi kami nakapasok.
Divine intervention na siguro yun, maybe i'm not meant to work in a call center hehehehe had fun walking around the city but my back still hurts from all the walking. Walking tour ng Makati CBD is astig! hehehe
We'll go job hunting again this Thursday pero sa mga english tutorial companies na lang as tutors much better for me kasi mas flexible yung hours.

Astig! Nagpunta kami sa French Embassy kahapon for an interview about French Foreign Policy and bilateral relations between the two. So in awe of the place everything was so French. Heheheh. Sorry parang sabog yung pagkakasabi ko dun.
Basta ang ganda. Yung security officer nila French man din tapos sobrang bait. I expected na medyo may attitude yung mga tao dun pero hindi naman pala. Kasi sa Spanish Embassy ang taray nung nakausap ko sa phone.
We interviewed the counselor for cooperation and education, he was so nice. Totally unexpected. Very friendly and talked a lot about a lot of stuff that we wanted to know.
Funny thing is he was anti-American but subtly mentioned it in his answers to our questions. So I guess its true that the French have a certain dislike for the Americans. I guess with the USA's monopoly on everything from culture to politics nations around the world would more or less have some sort of dislike with the US.
Masaya naman. Lakaran lang nga kasi medyo malayo sa MRT station. |

Like a jigsaw puzzle
The whole picture can't be seen
Unless the missing pieces are complete
Each piece will be found in time...
It's you who's the last piece in mine |

Feels Like Home
Chantal Kreviazuk
Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
Chorus: Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where
I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light
If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much
Chorus
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
______________
Nice song =) |

Ang tagal ko nang di nagupdate...
Ang daming nangyari sobra. Eleksyon. Hay, wala nang nagbago. Nakakafrustrate. kung sakaling bumoto ako si Joker Arroyo lang ang sinulat ko. Bahala na sila sa mga buhay nila di naman nila tinutulungan ang mga tao.
Ang dami ko din palang ginawa ngayong summer. Went to Ilo-ilo and Negros Occidental with my family and Vanessa for my tito's 70th birthday. Went to Silay and Miag-ao. Silay is so pretty. I LOVE THE PLACE. Most especially the Gascon House. Sa Miag-ao naman yung UNESCO World Heritage Site the Miag-ao Church ang ganda so ancient.
Though na-underwhelm yata yung baby ko after going to Molo Church hehehe mas ornate kasi yung mga decors and interiors sa Molo Church. Once she sees the Nuestra Senora de Candelaria Cathedral or simply Jaro Cathedral mas magugulat yun. We went swimming din pala at the foot of Mt. Kanlaon sa Buenos Aires Resort. Ang itim ko na... It was a fun week sobrang nasulit. I'm fat because of that I gained twenty pounds mula nung panahon na my constant weight was at 120lbs. ok lang i need to bulk up siguro. Have to work out.
Nahihirapan ako ngayon. I want to work pero tinignan ko yugn possible scehdule ko for next sem plus i have to do my thesis baka mahirapan ako. Pero I want to challenge myself. Sayang naman im still young puwede namang subukan lahat dba? :)
I'm so looking forward to next sem. Im really hoping that i'll pass Math11 this coming semester. Im kinda excited to finally finish school. I HATED SCHOOL SINCE I CAN REMEMBER. Everything about it. Sigh. Buti malapit nang matapos. So I was thinking about further studies. May nakita akong babagay sa akin. UP Open University. Tinignan ko na gusto kong mag Masters in Public Management dun. Yun na lang siguro para di ako confined sa isang building or campus.
Ang dami ko nang nasabi. Heheheh. Actually, madami pang nangyari sa summer ko. Puerto Galera. Visit kay Zai. Spider-man 3. Shrek3. Trip to Bataan at madami pang iba.
Pero dahil tinatamad na ako at inaantok. Sa susunod na lang siguro. |

Philippine Elections 2007
The midterm election is coming and all the fanfare and the fiesta-like brouhaha that comes with is now gaining momentum. The le Carnavale of the Philippines is as colorful and as fantastically over the top as I had expected it to be. Flyers, banners and all the possible campaign materials money can buy are now here, there and everywhere. All those money spent to raise “awareness” of the politico’s platforms, in my opinion is a form of vote buying. The more pictures people see the greater they’ll know the candidate even though they do not know the real platforms or if there really are platforms.
It’s quite tiring to read the news these days. I have become so jaded with everything that they are throwing at each other. As if they were saints in the first place and goodness I saw on the front page of the Inquirer the picture of Erap endorsing the GO slate and he’s standing beside Loren Legarda. Seriously? The senator who was one of the primary reasons why Erap was deposed in the first place is now standing side by side with him trying to get his approval and “blessing”. Am I suppose to trust these people if they themselves are selling their souls for their political survival.
I’ve grown tired of them; even the so called young bloods are products of old, tired and used political dynasties. New blood? More like Old blood in new packages. Escudero, Cayetano, Defensor, Zubiri, Aquino. All children of political dynasties who had dominated Philippine politics then and would surely dominate the politics of tomorrow and would they really pursue the so called “welfare” of the Philippine majority? I don’t think so, more like pursuing their own economic and political ends.
I used to be one of a few pro-administration supporters as I was actually annoyed with the chaos of the opposition. How am I suppose to trust them when they can’t even get their act together? Plus there’s too much back stabbing in their ranks and within the leadership, there’s so many factions, so many divisions and it caused confusion in my head. Nose bleed.
Then I grew tired of the Administration, I don’t know exactly why, probably because they bore me into oblivion and there policies are so confusing. I need it plain and simple. I hate statistics and numbers. So when they tell me that the economy is growing they should stop explaining all those numbers and percentages and just show me that the majority of the Filipinos are living a fairly decent life. I sure am one confused citizen. So what do I actually do most of the time? I usually read international news and watch international news channels. It’s more “entertaining” and much more interesting as other nations seem to have more of a political culture than our Philippine Carnavale err… politics.
Some might say that I have become jaded, jaded to the point of apathy. Yes, perhaps they are right but can you blame me. I don’t believe in government and politics anymore and what I usually say is that I believe in the Filipino people.
We should be our own catalysts for progress and for personal advancement. Politicians would remain they way they are no matter what we, the citizenry, do as long as this system is here and the power elite from either of the political fence remains in power. We should all just work hard and be as productive as we possibly can for us to better ourselves and our lives. In my short existence in this world I used to believe in the ideologies the politicians preached yet despite of their declarations and promises of a better future if we elect them into offices, the majority of the Filipino people still suffer from disappointing and disheartening conditions.
They have failed not only me but the people as well and now is the time to consider that true change might never come from those who hold political power but rather from us. The citizenry who are the ones most responsible for our own lives and nobody else’s and who has the most power in changing the Philippine society.
I just hope and pray that we will one day realize that true political power lies in each one of us and we ourselves has the capacity to transform our country.
At kung ako ang tatanungin ayaw kong magtanim ng Pichay… kumanta ng bahay kubo puwede pa siguro… |

If My Heart Had Wings
by Faith Hill
Damn these old wheels
Rolling too slow
I stare down this white line
With so far to go
Headlights keep coming
Loneliness humming along
Who poured this rain
Who made these clouds
I stare through this windshield
Thinking out loud
Time keeps on crawling
Love keeps on calling me home
Id jump all these mountains and take to the skies
Sail through the heavens with stars in my eyes
If my heart had wings
I would fly to you and lie
Beside you as you dream
If my heart had wings
We both committed
We both agreed
You do what you have to to get what you need
Feeling you near me with so many miles in between
Lord, it aint easy out here in the dark
To keep us together so far apart
If my heart had wings
I would fly to you and lie
Beside you as you dream
If my heart had wings
Stuck on this circle
Spinning around
Cut loose from this rope
Thats tying me down
If my heart had wings
I would fly to you and lie
Beside you as you dream
If my
If my heart had wings
I would fly to you and lie
Beside you as you dream
If my heart had wings
__________
Im sorry... |
