UP - RALLY - GMA

After badminton, I met cathy at makati ayala station.

She helped me pick which brand of Badminton Racket I should buy.
It took us some time to choose... But in the end.. we left empty handed..
Although there were many cool, light weight and cheap rackets.. I seize to find something that suites me. I'd really like to get the most out of my money's worth so this time I'd really like to buy something that is worth it...

So we went to glorieta to have a our "miryenda". Kakakain ko lng ng lunch so I'm still full.
What I really want is an iced coffee..Na miss ko nga husto ang GJ coffee.. Or any coffee na makakapag resemble nun. I know it's quite expensive for a "coffee". And it's really more of a "WANT" than a "NEED". Kaso, I think I deserve that coffee.. And I'm craving!!!!!

We had some chit chat while drinking coffee at BO's coffee club at Glorieta..
She handed me the copy of the new collegian.
I'm impressed.
Malinis.
Maayos.
Aktibista.

I'm quite shocked at the recent events posted regarding GMA.
But that reaction didn't made a big impression on me.

Why?
Why NOT?

What else is new?
I have grown into the kind of environment that cater such hatred for corrupt.
I have seen this before when I was in college.
And I have had enough.

The unfolding event has left me hopeless...
Sure I've had my share of activism
But we have been to the streets far too many times.
The PEOPLE POWER and EDSA Revolution have had far too many sequels to be effective.

We have cried far too many times for wolves dressed in sheep's clothing.
Still we never seem to figure out which one is real.

I have had the impression that her term wouldn't last that long, ever since she recalled her decision "NOT" to run for president.
I also believed that its was wrong for the people to vote for her during the election, just because she is the lesser evil.
It's not right to blame everything to one person. All of us are at fault. The problem with us is that we point fingers right away instead of tracing back our tracks for the root cause.

I know people today are so pissed off with all that has been layed unto them.
But I know that like me, most of them have become apathetic.
Indifferent. Hopeless..

Why? Haller! We live in the country where our major criminals lived in the PALACE!!! Then, moved in a rest house for house arrest! with full body guards! As if they could be more dangerous than the person ready to snatch your 3310 cellphone!
Plus! We have Power Tripping Vice-Presidents waiting to prowl on the mob infested issues of the presidents!

This is what I see...

We choose human beings for politicians --> presidents, at this point!
And by the PREMISE : "POWER causes people to be CORRUPT"
Eventually... well you know what might happen..

I suggest, we choose someone good and we shorten the presidential terms.
Give him enought time to implement his goals but not too long to establish underground activities.

Unfortunatelly, we are not of the liberty to do that..

So..
You could say i'm wrong..
But I'm just an "internal" activist...
I prefer to work "inside" the issue..
And not walk-"OUT" for it!

Cathy and I finished chit chat about UP and Ilang...
Somethings, have not changed..
Hindi pa din umaasasa UAAP Basketball ang mga UP students..
Great bands still line up to perform sa FRESHMAN NIGHT.
Power tripping pa din sa pag negotiate ng boxes and balde sa dorm.
Hindi pa grad ang isa kong roomate dati..heheheh

Finishing my coffee.. I start to think.
Itutulog ko na nga lang ito...
Maswerte pa din ako for now..
I have problems to figure out!
but the Philippines has bigger problems...
