EDSA, Pinas and everything else...

Just what is it about going abroad that makes you think you're better off?

The EDSA phenom continues to fascinate me in more ways than one.

More links to good updates and reads here.

Letters to the government start pouring in.

State of the Nation

Misinfomation, views and more opinions are racking the country as the nation struggles amid this SOE.

I wonder what will happen tomorrow. This is getting too much of a headache --- too many people trying to change so many things, each with his own agenda, believing that his idea is better than the others.

I wish i can be apathetic, but i can't. I wish i can easily choose sides like the people on thes treets, but i can't. What i believe in before is now questioned --- too much misinformation, too many emotions running on high --- it's almost impossible to point out who's right and who's wrong. Too many figures utilizing the confusion, using EDSA, using this hullabaloo for their own purposes. Just what is it do you want?

Change is inevitable, yes. But what makes you think your change is the better solution?

We are here to develop our country, not tear it apart.

Oh, dear. We seem to have the penchant to be on the news... in a bad way. i hope to GOD this madness stops soon....

Sit down and have a cup of tea. Yes, i know, it's not fancy or anything, but it will keep you warm. Don't you remember? You don't drink that much coffee. You said you preferred tea. Come to think of it, every time we went out for coffee you never ordered the damn thing.

Silence is comforting, don't you think? i had my cup of coffee today, amid the bustle of ortigas. I lost myself in the flurry of the hotel lobby of the Shangri-La, momentarily getting away from Manila's reality. Yes, for a while it felt like Kotah again. Ahhh..again with the wandering thoughts, you would chide me if you were there!

Walking around is too much, especially in this heat. i wonder how people do this all the time, not that i am against it or anything. In a more bearable weather i may be able to, but not in this humidity. It sticks to you like a wet blanket, icky and moist and dreadfully uncomfortable.

Allow me to take this time and immerse myself into a mini-rant.

I hate the despite the fact that my freelancing is doing nicely, certain people still don't give a sh*t or at this point, still look down at it as "some hobby" i'll be getting out of and doing "real" stuff. Shet.

Some things just don't change. Geeez.

It's a start of a new week and i'm feeling sluggish. Maybe it's the lack of excitement in my life. Maybe it's the lack of rice in my diet. Whatever it is, it's giving me no energy. *sigh*

I need a life.

Oh geez.

A fake bomb threat crushes a throng of people, yet despite the tragedy and cancellation, we hear thousands shouting thatthe show must go on.

Watchingthe tube earlier on Willie's teary apology and hearing all those people urging that the show be pushed through, a thought crossed my mind: incredulity. This is a wake up call on me that yes we are lviing in desperate times --- that amidst the sorrowful tragedy we hear the cry for sheer desperation to win. Yes, money, i can hear you loud and clear.
