Honesty

we just cant demand honesty from others if we are not honest with ourselves

shet! i never had a treat like this-A P500/YEAR COMFORT ROOM TREAT at Ayala Mall Cebu!

well, this isn't toilet treat though. it was a very surprising treat; an unusual treat, per se. thanks, Maris. i would miss you, your boylets, your gluttony (hahahaha) and vanity, irritating muses (grrrrr, ang ingay talaga), mam belinda, the office, cheche, the treadmill and the complex, district 2 and everyone in the grid

ya! let's stop this bullshit. thanks sa toilet treat :)

i swear, i wont forget you. a line from Owl City's Vanilla Twilight struck me at dawn, forging me to wake up early. and it still runs my mind along with David Archuleta. here's the song...for you...for you my love...for you my Ney

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

im for Gibo

ok. i didn't experience (or suffer) Martial Law, but i was kindergarten when it stopped. the revolution grandly gifted us democracy—thanks EDSA; thanks Cory; thanks Ninoy; thanks Aquinos; no thanks to Marcos; 

published stories told us our country was better when a democratic and honest Aquino became the president...and the most intelligent president was ousted. 

is Philippines really better after Martial Law?

oddly, my random collection of "unpublished" stories from people who experienced (and suffered) Martial Law told me otherwise. 

Philippines was Southeast Asian tiger then (1970s, Marcos time). our neighbors, specifically Singapore, envied us then. 

an intelligent but dictator (not visionary, as most published stories told us) president directed us for developmental take-off. of course, there was poverty, social inequalities, etc. under Marcos. development always has its bad face. even developed countries face such progress paradoxes. people who experienced (including those who suffered) told me that the intelligent Marcos did ready us for take-off. the honest Aquino did otherwise, even worsened. agrarian reform failed under her. power industry began to fall. remember the early 90s brownouts? it was one of the effects of her honest and unintelligent mis-administration. 

ya, she gave us democracy—that is out of the question. the issue of the form of government is always second to the issue of development status. the former is even second to the issue of who should be the president. in fact, different forms of government achieved development. 

an honest president and an intelligent president are two different presidents. history told us that an honest president could not ready us for development take-off. an intelligent one could. 

i believe though that honesty is still the best policy, but it isn't enough. so as intelligence alone. both is perfect!

Noynoy is honest. so as Gibo. the only difference is Gibo has better intelligence—galing at talino! Villar has sipag at tiyaga, but not honesty. he has C5 at taga actually. his stories of rags to riches are immaterial if he got wealthy by dirty means. o c'mon, don't even believe on him being poor then. the rich and middle classes occupied Tondo in 70s. ngayon lang yan nagka-squatter. Gordon is a good bet though. but i think he is best at the local, like Mayor Rody Duterte. 

im for Gibo. im for intelligence. and yes! he is clean and honest too. winnie monsod missed citing this—Gibo's clean record. 

im a Martial Law baby, but i grew up with democracy. so thanks to Cory; thanks to Ninoy; thanks to EDSA, but no thanks to Noynoy. my vote would not definitely be a payment for my utang na loob for the Aquinos.

Vanity. This is the central theme of Devil's Advocate movie, where Al Pacino played the devil.

I don't know why I am writing this, but I think I am teased by vanity. It is a surprise because it is hugely rare for me. Maybe, I was stucked in my mirror moment this morning. I enjoyed it though and I'm becoming excited on the frills of vanity.

Hmmm...I should be evil (again). Besides, the Lucifer effect is normal- good guys turned evil and good girls go bad hehehe well, a dose of evil is good. More of it is not.

For now, I'd laugh on it

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
