Last na din

I guess this is the last time I’m going to talk about this because I’m really nearing the brink of not caring anymore. Before that however, lemme link to nice blog-reads from three friends, having three different perspectives.

There’s obviously no wrong or right take on this anymore, all perspectives make perfect sense, and all are sensible people that’s why I’m sharing all three.

Thirds take– which I will add to in a bit, because he basically has the exact same sentiments I do as far as this issue is concerned. But the difference is he is still proud to be Pinoy! So at least I’m relieved to know that my attitude towards the matter isn’t because I’ve lost respect in our country.

Jeline’s take – With a nice little bit of first hand martial law wisdom from her parents

Quark’s take – which I have to say, after this post, is the perspective I’ll probably be consciously migrating to eventually.

While I believe that detaining/arresting protesters, and invoking that bullshit Proclamation 1017 is the stupidest thing a “leader in question” could possibly do, I also firmly believe the Media is in fact blowing everything out of proportion – wether it be intentional or not. Hence, they are already partly to blame for all of this.

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.

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.

Back from Cebu and random thoughts

Arrrgh! Blog still acting up! So I’ll try not to include any URLs in this post just to be sure I don’t get any errors. The issue should’ve been resolved already but apparently the DBD::mysql module of my server hasn’t been updated yet.

Anways I just came from a trip to Cebu. Second time I visited the place, first was for work and now for a wedding. And what a wedding it was! I’m glad I don’t live in Cebu since this guy really set the bar. I can just imagine all the men there feeling mightily inadequate after hearing about it.
