Impeaching the CJ

"If the impeachment process is conducted in a fair and transparent way, the institutional gains could be immense. The boundary between law and politics would be sharpened, and the judiciary could come out of this vastly strengthened. Politicians, from the president and members of Congress down to the mayor of the smallest town, would be firmly reminded that it is not their business to interfere in the functions of the judiciary. Judges from the highest to the lowest court, on the other hand, would be strongly warned about incurring political debts in exchange for appointments, or getting embroiled in politics."

Of Weedings end invitations

A high school classmate is about to get married, and she doesn't want to send a word to everyone.

Wedding is a major event that everyone wants to be invited -- relatives, kapitbahays, kinder-friends, elementary-friends,high school friends, college friends, office mates, ad infinitum (times 2). Since the couple is working on a budget, they cannot just invite everyone. Problem arises on how and who to weed out from the guest-list.

Truth be told, I am not invited.

But I don't begrudge her because I would do the same if "I ever get to marry." Wedding is a solemn event, a major event that I would want to play over-and-over again in my head. I want to enjoy and share the joyous event with my real classmate friends, with my trustworthy friends, with my true relatives. Imagine someone congratulating you blankly, and then continued chomping at his food? I want to savor the moment with people who are genuinely happy for me.

Happy New Year !

We have to hope, or else just walk into the mouth of an active volcano and die of idiotic combustion. 2012 is another eschatologic year, after this, some group would be organized to predict the next Armageddon. So, Let's see. I am really excited.

I am really hoping for the best- our nation, our personal lives. With this, I would not say a (negative) piece about our president and his administration, I will try hard.

Oh, I should not have watched its pilot episode, now I'm hooked.

To Infinity and Beyond!
