Last week I thought of giving up smoking. Not because of my health, but because I wanted to have a valid reason
for feeling like shit.
I was succesful...
in finding a valid reason.
I realized that I am
not meant to succeed
at anything.
Excuse me while I light another cigarette...
And yes... I am the freak in the picture.

State of Confusion
I find myself with totally nothing to do these days. I've run out of interesting things to read on the internet so I used this opportunity to catch up on the things that are going on. Apparently last Friday the president declared us to be under a state of emergency. I was asleep so I didn't know that until now. Funny thing is nobody at home even bothered to wake me up to tell me. My mom, the queen of freaking out in my universe, just shrugged it off when I asked her about it. Hmmm... Strange... I was expecting her to give us a lecture on not staying out late but we've had none of that. I've received no texts messages from my friends about this situation at all... as in zero...
In one of the articles I read a politician was saying that all of us Filipinos should put placards in front of our houses or use our blogs to tell the President that we vehemently oppose this declaration.
I'd love to do that sir but unfortunately, I don't exactly know what to make of any of this. I mean, this whole situation sucks cause I'm sure that it's just gonna do wonders for our economy but if it stops the incessant whining even for just 5 minutes, I'll take it.
Ok. Lets say you guys are successful in overthrowing Arroyo's presidency, what then? Who's gonna take over? Well, I'm sure that whoever's lucky enough to end up with the job, it's gonna take you a maximum of 1 month to find some dirt on that person too and this whole thing begins again. It just seems to me that ALL of you want to be president so you're never gonna be happy unless the person staying in Malacañang is you. And if that parliamentary thing pushes through, I'm sure it's gonna be hilarious. I can see it now... Every year there's gonna be a vote of "no confidence" thrown at the prime minister, so every year we're gonna have a different prime minister.
I just think it's about that you guys just shut up and put up... Yes, I know it's a bad thing that we have a president who's not exactly perfect but who is... You... I don't think so...
I think it's interesting to see that people aren't freaking out about this declaration after all these years of resisting any type of charter change for fear of another "martial law". Coz this whole thing sounds a lot like martial law to me.
