Keep It Comin'!

I dont know why the heavens once again conspired to make my life more than miserable... I'm on a row! Well, that's after the good news of my article being published in Inquirer, fate just couldnt give it to me. They just had to do something to make my life go back to P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C. This is the whole story.

1. Just when I was supposed to print my term paper for Logic, I realized that I dont have ink. I was able to buy Ink only to realize that I bought the wrong one. Apperently, because it's been a while since I last bought ink, I forgot that i have a new printer. My "ex-printer" was an EPson Stylus C20Sx but my NEW printer is a Canon Pixma. Isang malaking ARGH!

2. Ok na, I got my "ex-printer" and re-installed it in my PC. After everything, it turned out that my "ex-printer" refuse to work. As in, parang may bad blood kami for my replacing "HIM". Grabe.

3. So I decided to buy na lang ink for my new printer... Keri naman. Kaya lang, there's something wrong with my phone line so I decided to go to a computer shop nearby for some last minute research. But noooooo... The computer shop just had to have a SERVER FAILURE on the only day that i decided to go there..

4. Next computer shop... Apparently, that same day.. a "bug in the system" had to attack the computers. Thus making it impossible for me to search the net. Umuwi na lang ako to continue my printing my logic paper.

5. So there, I was trying to finish everything.. Then KABOOM! Nag-brownout. KAMUSTA NAMAN? Ok lang, sabi ko sa sarili ko.. I'll just print everything, first thing tomorrow.

6. Keri na? Doon ako nagkamali. I woke up very calm.. looking forward to a new day when i found out that my PC CRASHED because of the power failure the other night. Thank you very much. Goodbye Logic Paper! Goodbye pictures, mp3s and argh... Legal Writing Script.

7. Akala ko tapos na. But noooooooooooo.. this was the last straw. I lost my phone. As in it's gone now. I shouldnt have had it repaired sayang lang. Now, I cant surf the net, i dont have phone and uhmm.. I'm a plain loser. Kadiri.

Siguro naman tapos na no? I hope... sobrang i hope.

Looking at the brighter side of things, I got my Logic Midterms Exam and ehem, I got a whoppin' 91. Bwahaha, at least i'm part of the "Top 12". I am expecting another series of unfortunate events since mukhang it's the price I have to pay for a single good news. Ewan.

Walang Masama sa Pagiging Bakla

"Kahit di ka malambot kumilos, kahit di ka nagma-make up, kahit di ka tumitili... Nasa puso ang pagiging gay." - Rustom Padilla [Pinoy Big Brother]

Minahal nya si Carmina. Pero ang pumigil sa kanya ay ang katotohanan na bakla sya. This plot's all too familiar. Pero nanatili ang aking stand. Walang masama sa pagiging bakla, ang masama ay ang maging in denial ka at makasakit ka ng ibang tao in the process.

Tawanan Naman.

Siksik liglig at umaapaw ang mga nakakatawang pangyayari sa aking buhay sa araw na ito.

1. Dumating ako sa Ateneo at dumiretso sa Library upang hanapin si Joan at KC dahil sa aming Logic Paper. Naisip ko na baka nasa Computer room sila at gumagawa ng paper, so tumuloy ako dun. Sinubukan kong hanapin sila sa pamamagitan ng pagsilip sa bintana... YUmuko ako, nag-squint at patuloy na niligid ang aking mata... BUT NOOO!!! Nasa harapan ko pala ay si BSB Crushable love of my life! sa aking palagay ay naweirdohan nanaman sya sakin dahil sa posisyon ko, mukha akong sobrang creepy na stalker. Argh! Thanks a lot.

2. Ces' Statement on Ecstacy.. "Ecstacy? Ok yun, pag-gising mo sa umaga goodbye virginity."

3. Mia's Ranting about guys' inability to distinguish colors... "It's CREEEEEAAAM!" [protesting about the guys' comment that she's wearing an all-white ensemble]

4. Mia parin... "Manong..." [calling our Logic Prof]

5. Nagkamot ako ng ulo sa Logic class... at napagkamalang nagtaas ng kamay. Therefore, I was compelled to recite. Argh.

Ewan ko ba, ewan ko ba.

Bakit ba?!

It's so weird, it seems like today's the day where we will be accused as apathetic elitists. It started in our Oblicon class, while my professor was teasing us as regards our being well-rested she uttered, "It's as if you guys went to the streets. You SHELTERED PEOPLE." Ayun. Then during our LOGIC class, our professor said, "It seems like the students don't care. Nobody has a stand! Palibhasa mga SOSYAL kayo." Uhmm, since when have I become part of the apathetic crowd? I refuse to accept this.

First of all, for the longest time, I've always been against the fanning of the fire that is "rich vs. poor". I still don't think it's the most pertinent point that we should exploit. And besides, I am not even a part of the upper-class, we're the middle-class and we don't aim for the lives of the povery-stricken people to worsen. It hurts me that people perceive us to be "brats."

Also, I felt bothered by Mia's CAB RIDE STORY... She said that the cab driver nonchalantly attacked her being educated by saying, "Kayo kasi, di nyo kami naiintindihan. Palibhasa ganyan kayo..." That's after the cab driver found out that she studied in La Salle and is taking up law in Ateneo. Is is a crime to be not poor? Since when has it become the standard of "love for country"? I am apalled by the amazing turn of events. Why are these judgments being thrown at us?

Hey, I am not an activist in the conventional sense. I went to UP too but I didnt feel like going to the streets simply because I don't believe it's the kind of activity that I could contribute to. I'd rather be accused of being apathetic [because I know that I'm not] than give in to the pressure of being labeled as an activist to satisfy other people's expectations. I never become a part of a system that I dont trust. I have nothing against activists as persons, what I condemn is blind activism. My Logic prof accused me of being a part of a group of people who fell into the trap of being stuck with the "majority". I still think that it's the essence of democracy... It may be true that change "MAY" start from a few small voices, but at the end of the day, we cannot always allow these small but loud voices to dictate what we should do.

The right to expression should never be taken away from us, but when do we stop? When do we draw the line from being a catalyst for change to being monsters of grievances? Let us not make fools out of ourselves.

This is my stand, the question is not whether or not we have other alternatives but it's more about finding the RIGHT WAY to achieve our goal of achieving the betterment of the society. My right way is to continue studying, aiming to become a better person, dreaming of being an entrepreneur in the future and a person who will embody the true strength of a Filipino.

Go on and rally guys. I'll go back to studying and we shall meet on the other end of the road. You maybe right, i maybe wrong... or we maybe both right for continuing to dream.

I Lack the Wit.

I lack the wit to write about the things that transpired during the long weekend. Maybe it's because of the fact that almost everyone's been talking and yeah, writing about it that i find it totally pointless to embark on another "discussion" about who's to blame in the turmoil that we, Filipinos are in.

It's far too humiliating. And annoying. And disgusting. And uhmm, the list goes on and on.

There really is no one to blame. Just blame our far too-wide streets for being too conducive to really big rallies. Blame Fort Bonifacio for being so open to the media and for being tolerant enough to allow the aggravated Marines to ask a few questions about their Commandant issues. I repeat, blame Fort Bonifacio, not the officers, just the place for being too accessible. Blame Malacanang for being so attention-grabbing that people tend to crave for just a glimpse of how amazing it is to get that much attention. Blame the Palace for being grandiose. It's a simple Bitch Factor.

People write about the possibility of Martial Law as if they even bothered to read how Martial Law can come to place... blame the law for being a boring read. Blame the camera for not shooting at the right angle which could've made GMA look more convincing when she said, "everything's under control."

Go on. Let's start another finger-pointing festival. I think we should come up with a Finger-pointing Holiday. Let's dress our fingers up and indulge in a day of extravagant finger-pointing or maybe a night, think LuvaPalooza. We can call the event, "Finger-lickin'" and make KFC sponsor it, or "Dalirian" or uhmm, "Turo-turo". Perfect, "Turo-turo" will not only embody our food but also our political culture. Maybe we can make another record, the biggest number of people engaging in a finger-pointing event ever! Although we've been doing it for the longest time, at least we can rechannel it into something positive. That'll be the best therapy for us. After all, Olympics are made to prevent wars right? Maybe, just maybe, this festival will exhaust us.

I want to QUIT you too.

You still are a constant reminder that I am not good enough.We will never admit it, but after everything...we chose to play hide and seek.I bump into you, you bump into me; BUMP? More like a crash I guess.I know that you know. Don't hate me if I don't.It's not that I don't want to. It's more like I want it too much that I have to constantly remind myself to stop.

I never loved you.

I was in love with the idea of loving you. You were so fragile, so full of promise. Taking care of you felt so right. Keep flying. Let me color my world
without you.

EDSA Revolution: A Worthy Struggle

 At this particular point I time, a lot of Filipinos are engaged in their own conversations revolving around what we have become after the EDSA Revolution. Sadly, although the People Power Revolution, for a time, was perceived as a triumph of democracy, at present, it has become a constant reminder of how we have failed in achieving progress, or fell short in fulfilling our potential as a nation. After countless debates, and an infinite number of celebrations, our "victory" has become, to the younger generation, an empty achievement. It's a sad development, and unless we try to understand the responsibility that come with this bloodless revolution, we, as a people, will remain to be unworthy of the gains that a democracy can give to its truly deserving protectors. Let us keep our dignity intact, fellow Filipinos. Let us fight for the freedom that our predecessors have gifted us with. #NEVERforget. -
