Much Ado About Nothing

I just realized that I have only been able to update my blog once every month. It's not because I don't have time. Time is actually the one thing that I have truckloads of. It's just been hard to find inspiration to write because the things that inspire me I can't really write about.

Why? Who the hell cares? DUH? What's new? It’s almost the same old story with just a slightly different set of characters. And it totally sucks now as much as it did 3 years ago. Don't know what I'm talking about? Don't feel so confused. I don't know what I'm talking about either. Well... actually I have an idea but I really don't wanna have to go into it right now. Like I said... "Who cares?"

It's no big deal. If there's anything that that unsightly episode in my life taught me is that I will get over this… sooner or later. I'm betting it's going to be later rather than sooner. It's going to be "later" until about a day before I find the next one that I'm going to go nutz over and then the entire story begins again. Aaargh.

Okay. I know I can pretty much be considered as the most ungrateful asshole in the universe for complaining since everything's fine. Someone said that I should just enjoy the sights while I'm here and not obsess about when its time to go back home but jeesh, I really like being here damn it! Wait... scratch that... I think I can already say that "I liked being there" because I think that I'm already on my way back, which, should explain all the profanity present in this blog entry. harhar.

Just to make everything clear, just in case by some miracle, anybody reads this and… decides to get any "bright ideas" about what this means: I'm not mad, just frustrated at how certain things work or don't work out the way you really, really want it to; to be more specific. This is just my way of making up for all the things that I can't say out loud.

Fart! I am making no sense at all am I? Grrrh... I am sooo tired of this bullshit as in PAAAGOD NA AKO! Maybe I should just sleep this off. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow. But then again, considering what day tomorrow is... maybe not.

Cha-cha or Tango?

For the past several months the news had been dancing around the same topic: "Cha-cha" or charter change. Our president is pushing for a constitutional assembly to change our constitution so that our government system can be changed to parliamentary.

Now, I hardly watch local news at all for the basic reason that not much on it is "news" to me since I always thought that news was supposed to be new information of any kind but I did hear something new when I watched the news a couple of hours ago. I heard a new term being thrown around: "Tango".

I've been browsing the ABS-CBN news website for about 30mins now looking for their article on this "TANGO" thing because I just can't believe the stuff that I heard on that news segment. But I can't seem to find the damn article... wait... hah... there it is... stupid me... It's under TV patrol not News Central.

Anyway, "TANGO" is the answer to "cha-cha" of former President Erap's supporters. It was launched by a group called FREEDOM (Free and Restore Estrada for Democracy and Order Movement). Apparently, this group is headed by former Nueva Ecija Gov. Edno Joson. Who this guy is, I have no idea whatsoever because there was no sign of him in the news bit. All I saw were his (Erap's) sons. I think it was JV who was onstage giving a very intense speech and then Jinggoy was shown shaking hands with the people who attended this event.

TANGO is supposed to be an acronym for "Tanggalin si Gloria Arroyo sa lalong madaling panahon" -- but then since acronyms are supposed to be words formed from the initial letters or by combining letters and parts of a series of words, the more appropriate ancronym would've been "TAN-G-A" (which is like a euphemism of sorts for the word tanga which means stupid) but then they would have deviated from the "dancing" theme. Though I think it would've had more "umph' to it if they had used TANGA instead of TANGO 'coz it would've seemed as if they were saying that "Tanga yung mga taong nag-punta sa EDSA 2! Eh ano kayo ngayon?" (The people who went to EDSA 2 are stupid! So what has become of you now?) or something like that. -- but what they really want as what their group's name states, is that they want Erap to be reinstated to the position that was snatched from him by Gloria.

It was also noted that if Erap and his children left Malacañang in 2001 teary-eyed, that they were now very pleased in greeting their father's supporters and that they were eagerly awaiting a "fight" that is impending. Hmm...

So what would it be cha-cha or tango? Let me put it to you this way: If Gloria stays in power, then God help all of us because with the huge number of attempts that are about to happen to destabilize her presidency, it's a safe bet that our economy is just totally going to go kaput that we will certainly need the assistance of Divine Intervention, but if Erap gets reinstated as President, then I will become an Atheist because that happening, pretty much proves to me that there is no God.
