today is really a great day!
i joined juan and rica and the gang to feed around 150 undernourished grade schoolers in SIR elementary school. it was fun, worthy and fulfilling, swear. taking photos of happy kids was....undefinable.
it was long that i was into this volunteer community outreach with very informal group-the barkada approach of philantrophy or say, giving back.
i was (we were) happy (really happy) at the end of the feeding program. thanks juan and rica. i really look up to you as cool couple. dont worry, id be a regular to your social program :) hope we could do the public library, urban farming and frisbee for the kids. it will be big but humble in depth
but not only the kids made my (our) day. a bit of margie cake, tong-its and vodka and paul masson did! though i ended up losing PhP60.00 (card game loser me!hahaha), i walked home with giggling.
thank God its friday!
juan: tag me when you post the photos ha :) til next!

Success Is Hard, But Harder When You Are The President
"unsa kalainan sa SONA ug fairytale? ang fairytale kay istorya nga dili tinuod nga naay duwende. ang sona kay naay duwende nga naga-istorya og dili tinuod"
o c'mon! stop filibustering! you all know personally how hard to reach the top. and six (6) years is not enough for one personal dream. not even geniuses like bill gates and the beatles achieved their greatness in less than 10 years. and ye, to all my college batchmates (1999), please stand up if you are already earning millions now, it would be a big pleasure to know your secrets in reaching the top for a very short period.
one (1) presidential term-six (6) years-is certainly not enough to make our republic a wealthy nation (again)
singapore did not just became rich in six (6) years, not even in china. singapore prime minister built singapore for 25 years!
so, c'mon! don't be fooled by our president's critics (again). let us help her. let us start working together towards one direction and not pulling everyone down.
i mean, honestly, i didn't vote for her last election. i voted for eddie villanueva because i thought it was moral recovery that is foremost needed for our country. now, im even tempted to vote panlilio because i still believe on that moral-based governance or do-well-do-good principle. but society practically has necessary evils that a united, not moral, country is more necessary to defeat those evils.
so i cooperated...to fill-in my political frustration of placing in a more-moral-than-the-church president. i paid taxes even though some of it were pocketed and even though some evaded it. i even believed on every government project. roro system made my lanao-misamis trips cheaper and faster. i own a house through a very affordable and easy housing program. i even met people who freely studied vocational courses with monthly allowance under tesda program. ive also seen more teachers in isolated and inaccessible barangays. ye, most working public services i have mostly seen are in "inaccessible" areas. this is why people interviewed on tv and most inquirer readers, who have mobile phones, fax and emails and graded gma has done little or none at all, considered gma unpopular because they did not see the project! (ever wondered why you have not been a respondent in those public polls?)
i believed that our president really built schools, roads and provided jobs, but not everybody in six (6) years. all global philantrophists and the richest have not even solved malaria for decades. i believed her sona but acknowledged some margin of errors in the data that her statisticians processed.
yes! cooperation (or participation, per se)! participation best defines democracy and precedes unity. with unity, i believe, and not filibustering, will cut-short our nation's way to success. with unity, we might not even need another presidential term.
i am both hopeful and hopeless though. hopeful, because it is what is needed for our country. hopeless, because i know one (1) presidential term is not enough to become a wealthy nation (again) especially with the presence of barking and power-hungry dogs. hopeless, because even the most intelligent and visionary president marcos did not achieve his bagong lipunan in his second term.
i am definitely not for martial law, but i am for extended term or reelection. and i believe there would be no martial law anymore. it is so out na kaya; so old; so outdated. and ye, more than half of the globe would certainly be against gma if she will declare one.
