the Karma, that was...

Today marks the start of another successive months of grueling secret-service duty. That means, heaps of secret-service reading material, sifting evidences, jacking up memory, defragmenting hard disk for every bit of spaces available and much more. The torture I believe is no different from those employed by Gitmo special operatives, but like those hardened terrorists, to shout for justice is to swim naked in the arctics -- it is futile. Oh well, I bring this upon myself so I cannot accuse nobody. I really have to thank God for helping me make it through those days of intense cross examination, that I really have to call HIS name in silence to evade being made to stand up and made like a statue for hours for not having known the facts of the cases and related rulings.

I enjoyed the furlough though, from day one up to the last minute. I was able to replenish and bring to stable condition my alcohol reserve which was sucked dry; slept 8 hours on weekdays and more on weekends; met with friends and got updated by the latest and juiciest chismis; have attended a really intimate wedding also of a friend, enjoyed my girlfriend without hearing the tic-tocs of my watch -- mall food, trinoma, market2, cinema, guada-escolta ferry, binondo/ongpin, and chinese food, spicy indian/persian food - the smell of kilikili.

I shall conquer the tasks ahead, just like the previous months. I have to.


"It's a feeling that brings on heart-pounding panic, even as you are pulling all the legal levers in court with simulated confidence and spinning a web of lies to the media outside."
- Paul Madriani, the Jury.

Past days-months have us endure a confluence of national drama, comedy, suspense and thriller. Investigations in aid of reelection, suicides from poverty, NBN-ZTE, Comelec, Glorietta, Cavite, Conviction, Pardon and the list can add some more.

Reminder to those who sold or is planning to sell their soul to the devil, the interest they seek is far greater than you imagined. The sad part is he's taking other people besides you. I guess that's what Karma is, while others lost their lives, he spare yours so that you'll be tortured by your prior acts and suffer for the rest of your life that you'll wish you've suffer a heart-attack and die.
