Thank You

Mr. Gordon (or is it still senator Gordon at this point?)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to care enough as to actively advocate your vision in my own little way (as I’m usually apathetic to these sorts of things) I have no regrets in having done my part, no matter how futile it seemed, in trying to open people’s eyes to the truth most of us are not willing to accept… yet.

Please continue your public service in whatever capacity available to you. You, of all people, have already proven that you don’t need to be president to do great things for our people (of course it would speed things up if you were, but I digress).

May you continue to prove what we (your supporters) already know to be true – that regardless of others’ sentiments – you do care for our motherland more than anyone else in the current political landscape – and are willing to do whatever it takes to bring back our country the dignity it deserves.

I’m skeptical, but look forward nonetheless to the day that the Philippines will be ready for someone like you… because God knows we need it badly.

Don’t give up on us, Gordon.

Fearless forecast

Given the “weights” people seem to be using to vote, my forecast is that the results are going to turn out as predicted. And while it does dishearten me, I guess I’ll have to accept it as that’s the “voice of the people” – which in turn vindicates my old claim that we really don’t deserve democracy.

I just want to go on the record that if Noynoy doesn’t deliver on his promises… those who voted for him are not going to hear the end of it from me. And the next time we talk politics, your opinions would be of considerably less significance. So your man better be the person you hope him to be – because I’m pretty sure he’s not. And thankfully, unlike debating the existence of God, we will have the answer if he’s indeed the man who could “fix” our country. If your “faith” in him was just that; blind, naive faith – or if it really was based on something more substantial (which I highly doubt).

In fact, just for the heck of it, I’m willing to make a bet: If Noynoy wins, and he does deliver – then I’ll shave my head bald. If by some miracle, Gordon wins, and he doesn’t deliver, I’ll do the same. Read More

Mr. Murphy

So yesterday was an epic fail relatively speaking.

Ok, I’m not so sure if “epic” would be the term to best describe it – since there was nothing really life-changing or earth-shattering. But the sheer number of fails probably puts it at epic proportions 😉 Read More

Pride and Prejudice

I’m probably one of the most “patient” people a person could meet. And take note, when I say “patient,” I don’t mean it in the delayed gratification sort of sense – as I’m very impatient when it comes to that. What I mean is my tolerance (pasensya) for anything unfortunate – usually in the form of people and their insufferable dispositions. Even my own sister could vouch for this 1 At least she already had done it before

I even remember Cris complaining that me “never” getting angry with her 2 We do fight, of course – but she still has yet to see how I can be when I’m “angry” was/is a constant source of her “insecurities.” Ika nga sa lahat ng “away” – ang pikon, laging talo 3 I would challenge that argument, but for the most part, it is true. – and I guess on that front, I usually come out on top… usually. While I do have my share of “quirks” that are enough to eclipse that singular “plus” I seem to have, that plus has never been disputed – nor could be disproven even if someone tried.

Pride

I think this allows me to have the type of candor I have – because at the end of the day, after I’ve said my piece, there literally is no hard feelings/grudges from my end. 4 At least to people who haven’t “crossed the line” – as I’ll explain later I noticed that this is something a lot of people have trouble with; that they don’t mean what they say. They say everything’s ok when it’s not. They say they feel this or that way when they really don’t. I, on the other hand, find it easier to just be frank about stuff as it gets a lot of the “weight” off on the onset – and makes it easier to “handle” the situation once the “air is cleared” as far as opinions/expectations go.

Anyways, what brings me to post about this? Read on if you’re interested. Read More

External Drive fix for OS X SL

I’m aware not everyone has the same setup as I do, so I’m not sure if this is even applicable. But I’ll share it anyway in case people are experiencing the same issue.

So I’ve decided to “upgrade” the Hackintosh 1 My main desktop/work computer to Snow Leopard (SL). I was hesitant to leave Leopard (especially for the work machine) because of this bug I experienced in my MacBook Pro.
