Ode to the Sea

Saturday, September 17th, 2005

WRITING something about the Sea has always been difficult for me. One way or the other i always seem to be petting a butterfly on the stomach to write something about him.

Time, when i was with him, was not an element. I didnt even know what time it is when we’re close.

I didn’t get to have a friend out of him. Neither did i get him to stay with me forever or much longer. That is too much to ask.

However, a moment with him these days can be considered a privilege, if not a luxury.

We could be extreme at times, estranged always and even disconnected. But whatever the differences, we did get together at one point in our lives with no debates. The moments at the Sea, with the Sea, was one memory sure to linger till death. However, the tides didn’t agree on our favor.

While good things happen, some good things never last.

I miss the bitter, salty Sea. I do not intend to ask him. It’s better this way not knowing how it was after all this time. With All of My Life. .

Post impeachment vote syndrome

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

I DIDN’T get to monitor the voting on the Impeachment complaint against the bogus President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, i only did get to watch some starting parts and then some ending because of my work.

The question was about whether the House of Representatives, sitting as a plenary would adopt or not the Committee Report of the House Justice Committee. Talk about justice.

The House of Representative has 158 crooks living within its halls, some 51 who we could call as the true representatives of the people, and 6 playing safe congressmen. What the hell were they trying to hide when the Yes vote outnumbered the No vote for the adoption of the Committee Report. It was very obvious that their move was to protect the fake President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. She was asking for her day in Court but her allies were somewhat deaf on the what the President just said. Or was she again lying when she said that.

The vote was neither surprising nor was it expected by the people. With how MalacaƱang used its influence to hasten the release of the YES congressmen’s pork barrel, we could expect that the move was made to protect GMA and to suppress the truth.

During the voting, they were speaking that they were voting to stop the political crisis of the country. Well, I guess that money has talked a lot and too much that it has again blinded the Congressmen to accept the orders of the MalacaƱang.

Though GMA can sleep well for a year because of the ban for another another impeachment complaint, the crisis would really pinch her day by day as she continues to cling to power. We could nevertheless expect that foreign investment would be at its downfall and the economy would continue to suffer because the issue of legitimacy was not at all concluded. The dismissal of the impeachment complaint against GMA was only another added factor which could cause social unrest.

Personally, I didn’t vote for GMA, neither did i voted for FPJ. I know GMA as a liar, someone who would do anything and everything just to stay in power. I concur with Susan Roces that GMA stole the presidency twice and that we are being led by a bogus president. So unfortunate for the Filipinos.

I can sense (with my jedi powers) that she is up to go against those congressmen who voted for the impeachment.  I expect that the congressional district in which i belong would be kulelat again in terms of infra and soft infra projects because our congressman, Proceso Alcala, voted for the impeachement. Kawawa naman kami. Sobrang plastik nyan ni Gloria nun pmunta yan sa lucena para dalawin ang namatay na ama ng aming congressman, she brought about the question why Cong. Alcala endorsed the impeachment complaint even though "hindi naman kita kinakalimutan Procy." I should know what transpired there.

But that’s trivial, what is more shocking is that it not only our district’s representatives who have been a prey to Ate Gloria’s pagkukunwari.

Nakakagalit talaga yang unanong pandak na yan. Hndi nya ba naiisip na naghihirap ang bansa at ang pananatili nyang yan sa kapangyarihan ang siyang lalo pang nakakapag pahirap sa bayan. Maawa ka naman. Wla wala na na kami anjan k pa rin nagpapasarap. Kawawa naman ang mga Pilipino

We do not deserve Glora. We do not deserve this government.
