Politics 2

There were a lot of cool comments on my previous post on politics (from like 3 people hahahaha) But really though there were little who considered my post as something worth addressing, I really appreciated their input.

Because I’m gonna level with you guys, I’m not really that “up-to-date” with politics. In fact I’m right on the edge of being ignorant. When something happens, I don’t bother reading up on it, I simply ask around what’s happening and what people think about it. All this is not because I don’t have the capacity to be analytical, but simply because I’ve lost faith in the system. I think whatever bitching and whining anyone does (myself included) is an utter waste of time.

But why do I still take the time to “rant?” Simple: Because it’s fun! hahahaha.

Below is a revised version if what I had posted in the past (as a random thought, so people might’ve missed it)… my take on politics in general. The points raised were never meant to challenge people to acton, but simply explaining why I don’t take the system seriously anymore.

I got myself a… whatever

I got myself a Desiccant Cabinet, also known as a Dehumidifier Cabinet, Desiccator, Humidity Chamber, Constant Humidity Storage Chamber, Environmental Chamber, Dry Cabinet or Dry Box.

A fairly simple device but hard to find here. I don’t know if it’s because there aren’t that much retailers here, or simply because people don’t know what to call it. When you’ve got descriptors like the above mentioned, you can’t blame the regular hardware store people to know what you’re talking about.

I finally found them in Handyman Galleria. There were 3 sizes in stock: one small-ish, 2-level cabinet for 4K+, a “medium-sized,” 3-level model for 8.4k+ and one large version 5 levels I think, about as tall as a chair (you literally had to set it on the floor) for 13k+.

I got the middle one. And I was lucky, they marked up the price already, but I was sold the model with the “pre-markup” price (about 7k+).

Politics

Can someone fill me in if Gloria has done anything stupid recently? I mean I know about the whole Garci thing, but I’m confused as why there are still so many rallies popping up? Did I miss something? Because if it’s still about that issue, then the way our society is handling it is pretty embarrassing.

I admit it’s a very complicated situation, how the public trust was betrayed – but this is speaking from an idealist perspective. This isn’t counting the whole reality of things.

I asked my Mom just now “Has Gloria done anything stupid recently” – and I mean something with the same gravity of that whole Garci charade. She said not to her knowledge. So if anyone reading this can enlighten me, please tell me what all the ruckus is all about.

Having said that, I will assume that indeed nothing else has happened and will discuss stuff with that assumption.

New wallpaper

For some reason, I thought I wanted a new look for my desktop. So I went ahead and did this:

I dunno about you guys, but I really like the simplicity of it, plus the general darkness of the wallpaper is better for the LCD’s lifespan. I put the dock to the right and made the background transparent… and finally set the application arrows to grey instead of black.
