speech spoiling snaffu

What if the person you invited to your event dissed you in front of all your guests, without signs or provocations? 

What kind of person would list down events from years past and tell everyone that it pissed him so much he was not able to move on?

What kind of person who after doing all these would have the courage to smile his dog smile, had his picture taken, and then left in a hurry without confronting the person he dissed the most?

And then you ask why?

Of surplus store & nukes

I noticed the mushrooming of Japanese Surplus stores, and bikes, their electronics have antedated them however.

The point is, they sell really cute trinkets, ceramics, and whatnot; and my paranoia strikes me that they may have come from Fukushima, ergo, some plutonium or other unstable elements decaying on its surface. And then, paranoia is replaced by hero-wannabe syndrome. Because if there's indeed radiation, then I can exposed myself  until I get my dna mutated until I exhibit mutant ability. But reality knocks me off, not that it has been proven, not in any scientific journals anyway, that radiation causes awesome mutation, experience also tells me that no amount of microwaving my food could provide me that mutation, too.

Oh, well. Today is a sunday, and its raining hard. (By not saying "raining hard outside," do i save space -- or byte? or should I say "raining hard outside" and risk being asked if it could rain inside? But really it can rain inside, that's when ones roof has holes in it. But then again, if there's a hole in our roof, then I shouldn't be typing this because water and electronics have never been good friends.)

Yes. Today is a sunday.

So? 'na

In my (unscientific-with-no-legal-or-statistical-basis) opinion, Pnoy and his administration have done a decent job running our troubled paradise. I don't expect them to solve each and every problem we have.

But hell yeah, there's a lot of areas to improved on. 

Just because I don't like his face means I should be blinded with the gains of this administration. I might not approved of his noynoying, or perhaps his personal vendetta with GMA et al. But that doesn't mean I should complain endlessly.

Yes, there are improvements. I'm glad. 

I don't get it when people are complaining that the speech was too long. Weren't they complaining about last year's SONA saying it was too short?

Haters gonna hate. By the way I haven't heard nor read the full transcript of his SONA. So, that maybe is the reason why I'm not puking while typing this.

Doll - fee

Not another tribute, say you.

I cannot say that I'm fed up with the week-long tribute to Mang Dolphy. I am not. I didn't attempt to sit in front of the tv and listen to everyone's ululation. It was a preemptive move on my part. I don't want to saturate my idea of the man and end up feeling apathetic.

But hey, Mang Dolphy you were a great part of my growing-up years. Good luck to your journey into the void (for the non believers); laugh your way into the heavens (for the believers); fool the demon to let you into the heaven (for the hypocrites believing you led an immoral/promiscuous life).

One thing, You, sir, lived a satisfying earthly existence. You made us laugh at our own follies. At least you made me laugh at my own follies.

Paralysis and Despair

“No longer is the Filipino mired in paralysis and despair; he has seen the seemingly difficult tasks achieved, and is one with the government in creating a society that is truly just, prosperous, and equitably progressive,” said Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte in a statement.

Ohhh Valte and her enviable task of painting rosy scenarios.

On the contrary, madame, Filipinos will be mired in paralysis and despair despite the personalities of those who occupy the palace-by-the-river so long as what the government offerings are all but palliative.

The government cannot "create a society that is truly just, prosperous, and equitably progressive" so long as our elected and non elected officials have a common goal of enriching themselves and pillaging the coffers of the nation.

Philippines will never be prosperous as a nation, not until we collectively aim for it. Not now, not this generation --- because this generation is busy if not planning a get-rich scheme damn all,  then applying for visa to live elsewhere.

See, this is despair.
