A sad day for the Filipino people

I can't believe how dumb the voting population here in the country is.

Change happens when the person you vote for knows the both the problem and the solution.

How can people not know that surveys are full of bull. Personally, I do not care who wins this elections, just as long as it's either Gibo or Gordon. But c'mon people, an unexperienced politician and an impeached president fighting head to head for the presidency? We will never improve if we keep this attitude.

I normally don't care about politics, but this is the first time I felt pitiful for this country. Sad that no one ever thinks properly anymore, that people under par will be be governing this place.

People talk so much about change, wanting to overthrow the current president, but what do they do. They cast their votes for someone who doesn't even know a single thing about politics.

I didn't vote for Noynoy because I believe he doesn't deserve it. Scratch that out, I KNOW he doesn't deserve it. He wasn't even able to uplift his local town, how does he expect to run the whole damn country.

I rant because for the next 6 years, if either of those two win, the country will just be a whole joke. We will stay third world if we don't change our mind set, we will never grow as a country. So yea, Noynoy says he won't ever take money from the country. Fine, good for him. But what will he do for the country?

He isn't the next great Aquino, he can never be. He doesn't have the bravery and the magic his parents have. He will never live up to them.

But nonetheless, as a Filipino, I will accept him as the next president and hope for the best. May he prove me wrong.

Psyching myself up for tomorrow

I have been doing photography for the past weeks, that's why I have been on hiatus. I'm really enjoying it so I guess I'll be doing it whenever I have the time, or should I say I make the time for it =)

Anyways, I'm going to Pinatubo tomorrow for a tour. I'm kind of excited but on the same time nervous about it. This will be the first time that I will be going by myself (fyi- it's a tour group but I won't be going with any friends) and I will be trekking.

I really hope to enjoy this one and make the most out of it. I will also be doing HDRs, etc.

Stay tune for the Pinatubo trip, and wish me luck...

My life just got more BORING!!

All of these feels weird. It's not what I expected.

Since last friday, March 26, I started a part-time job, an online english teacher for a company in Makati. I get to go there after my full-time job and just wait for my students.

Sounds easy, right? It is!!

I get to go online non-stop and just surf. Just like what I do at home, I just get paid here.

But the thing right now is that I miss home. I miss just sitting in our dinner table, see papa watch tv, my brother coming and go, my mom getting mad because the table isn't set yet for dinner. I miss my family and Bailey. I miss looking at him when I'm surfing, I miss the noise of home (I can't believe I miss that).

I miss everything from my carefree afterwork life.

It's the life when I'm at home, just listening my parents either talk or get mad.

I don't know whether to keep this job or just get back to sitting around. Plus, I don't think the other online teachers like me very much as hardly no one talks to me in here, except for my cousin. This place is just very different from what I got used to.

Maybe in a way, I'm already bored and I just haven't gotten alot of students.

I don't really need the money but I can use it, you know, my future travels, my gadgets, etc.

to pursue or quit, I need to know

Back from a 2-week hiatus

I'm sorry Blog. I haven't blogged for weeks.

My family experienced an emergency and I didn't have the heart to describe it here. It was too sad to share something I know everybody will feel sorry for. But, on the lighter note of it, we have surpassed it and everything is almost back to normal. Maybe just for a few weeks more and my dad will be fine

Thank you Lord for taking care of my family, especially papa when he wasn't okay. Thank you very much for making everything fine. I'm happy you are there for us =)

Photobooth-ing with Lut

I did a day out with one of my bestfriends, Joanne. She got back from Bahrain and hopefully will be staying here for good. After my FDA visit, I met up with her at Festival Mall and stayed in Starbucks as I helped her with her resume.

Yep, she doesn't have a decent resume so I made her one. Anyways, after the resume thing, We photobooth-ed lol

We look old =( I hate it

you "fake" care

started out a "typo"
i stop...and then i go.
instead of typing "take",
i unconsciously type "fake"

right there, before my eyes
i read it over...then realize...

sometimes people say they do,
but how do you know it's true?

sometimes we trust what is said
believe that honor is not dead...

when something turns out to be unreal,
there's no describing how you feel.

after confusion, there's disbelief...
after conclusion, there is grief.

and it's never really fair
when you promise to be there...
then you don't even dare...
and worse, you "fake" care :(

Unfortunate word play

Another fave of mine, from the same source

People often forget how powerful words can be...
how much they make you either miss or see...

they can make someone smile,
they can make someone cry...
all depends on the words you choose to use...
like "yes" or "no", like "hello" or"goodbye"...

even the simplest things can be made complex...
just by how you say words, in this and that context...

it also matters how you mean it and what your intentions are...
know that once you let it out, it can and will leave a scar...

you are the words you use,
you are the life you choose...
using anything in the wrong way...
somehow there is a price to pay...

when you use words to hurt a heart...
some things are lost, a limb...a part...
there's no taking it back, when all is said and done...
even if you excuse it as just having "fun"...

words are gifts that when used right...
can even save a life, can even win a fight...
words work best when used wisely...carefully...
but some just refuse to do so...sadly...

words can give hope, or take it away all together...
words can wound you so deep, or make you feel better...

words help you say what you wish to express...
whether you want more, whether you want less...
they give life to something when you say it over and over...
you start to believe it, like wishing on a four leaf clover...

words can heal, but can also make you bleed...
there are no rules, no law, no justice, no creed...
the power to fuel good or bad, fame and greed...
words grow and spread with just one small seed...

do you stop and think to say something nice...
or you bother people with your whats, your hows and whys?
would you rather say a schemingly controversial clause...
or keep your lips sealed, avoiding thin lines you don't dare cross?

however which way you choose,
whatever which words you use...
they all say so much about you and how you see yourself...
are you a quiet hermit, a roaring giant or a miserable elf ?

be careful what you say...
walk on eggshells if you may...
otherwise, take it all in and stay...
and be ready for some unfortunate word play.
