Everyday is Exactly the Same

I believe I can see the future coz I repeat the same routine. I think I used to have a purpose, then again, that might been a dream. I think I used to have a voice, now I never make a sound. I just do what I've been told. I really don't want end to come around.

Everyday is exactly the same.


Maybe I am Trent Reznor, then again, it might (also) been a dream. This song really struck me again after watching Wanted that I played it and it played in me repeatedly. It struck me again of what life could really be. Could Trent be true in his piece in Right Where It Belong: What if all the world you think/used to know is an elaborate dream? He could be! But as for Greta, stop rationalizing life; change and do things if it will be good for you. Simple philosophy, right? Indeed! So, call me Trent then on :)

I Am For High Prices (e-kuno-mix)

I am for high oil price!

it encourages walking and biking;
it forces people to live downtown or the urban center;
it leaves our farms and rural lands from housing subdivisions and sprawls--spreading of
settlements to the fringes/sitio/bukid from the center;
it renews and revives downtowns;
it encourages more efficient use of urban land;
it trims spending (i mean the wasteful conspicuous spendings!);
it discourages BIG car buyers;

it is all good! so, why fret?

and ye! how could airlines made to keep their tickets cheaper today when they definitely fly on oil? why cant most sellers also do such?

o well, i am for high price....also of rice :)

Democracy My Ass

The Romans and the Greeks were all dead while the Church, military, monarchs, Chinese business, indigenous communities are still alive. The former were democracy pioneers. The latter are hierarchal.

The lifespan tells us outright: democracy my ass!

Yet, why are we still on democracy―on participatory process?

Americans maybe, but they too are un-democratic. Their voting system―democracy's core foundation―has long been dirty (since late 1800s, to be exact). O well, they just happen to be good at marketing and public relations that they sold democracy.

Happy independence day, anyway. I hope Sulu abductors will free Ces Drilon.

Pacquiao and Carrie Bradshaw to Help Global Crisis

customer: day, kape (coffee please)
tindera: tag PhP10 na ra ba. (it already costs PhP10)
customer: di ba, tag PhP8 ra na? (wasnt it PhP8 then?)
tindera: nimahal naman gud ang gasolina (oil price already increased)
customer: ah, ayaw na lang butanggi gasolina! (ah, dont mix my coffee, then, with oil)

comedy does follow harsh times, especially for Filipinos.

and i think, it is becoming a classic comedy of the time. what is funnier is expensive needs and cheaper wants. at the rise of oil, rice and power, there is an exodus of midnight sales, budget flights, cheap offers and stable luxury lines.

the funniest part, though, is people are busy joggling their money for the cheap tricks, and not the basic kicks.

"there really is no relief in sight," an oil company executive claimed on rising oil prices.
well, that goes too for other goods, given our government [sigh].

so, who else's shoulder should we cry on during harsh times? Pacquiao, Carrie Bradshaw, Big Brother, Eric(sson) and Moto(rola), Gucci Gang, Google, ...........?

YES! hard times require entertainment to lighten up the day, but Pacquiao's lethal combination of shuffled footwork against Diaz will not solve hunger.

harsh times require creative twists.

for one, walk, just like Baguio City who plans for a 6 carless days. as for another joke goes:

babae: nong! sakay ko!
drivr: cge! asa man ka?
bbae: diha lang sa kanto! naay bayad ang bata?
drivr: ay libre lang kay duol man.
bbae: ah, ang mosabak naay bayad?
drivr: wala gihapon!
bbae: cge nak! sabaka ko...
