Boboto ko, boboto ka?


Ang araw na ito ay napakahalaga sa kin.
Sana para sayo din.

Siguro naman, by this time, nakapagdesisyon ka na kung sino sa kanila mo ipagkakatiwala ang pag-unlad ng ating bayan sa susunod na anim na taon.

Hindi to biro. Hindi to subok-subok lang. Isang malaking responsibilidad ang nakaatan sa atin sa araw na ito sa ikatataguyod ng ating bansa.

Ohh, di ka rehistrado? Eh baket? And why didn't you take time to register? COMELEC has given you enough time to do it, why didn't you grab the ooportunity? Tsk. Too bad. Tapos ngayon sasabihin mo may pakialam ka? Eh bakit ngayon di ka pala makakaboto? That's just bad. You didn't realize the ramifications of your decision not to vote, una na, WALA KANG KARAPATANG MAGREKLAMO. Okay?

Well, okay, desisyon mo yan. Basta ako, boboto at kung ikaw din boboto, make sure to vote wisely. Sana lang di ka nadaan sa madaming commercials at TV ad. Sana di ka apektado ng nagbobonggahang endorser na artista.

Sana, MAG-ISIP KA. And pagdedesisyon ay ibase mo sa kung ano na ang kanilang nagawa at magagawa. Hindi ko rin alam kung anong kahihinatnan ng lahat ng ito sa mga susunod na oras, pero sana, sana talaga, maganda.

Fear and Forgiveness

It's my parent's 30th anniversary and our Brian's christening on Saturday where in spite busy schedule preparing everything for the visitors, i still think of Jacob.  I packed Beef Tapa and Pancit for him and even thinking of bringing him Salad for dessert.  We didn't have a good conversation after hours of waiting for him then he finally said we're not meeting up because he's not in the mood and he wants to stay at home and watch Initial D.  Then all of my insecurities and paranoia came out. I started thinking, just like what happened with Jeff, very similar indeed. He started confirming why he's sticking with me. He reminded me to stop counting the days and enjoy that we're together. I think his way of showing me that he likes me is seeing me everyday for dinner. Though i heard him said, "ano bang napapala ko pag pumupunta ko sayo? Kahit pagod ako nagpupunta pa din ako. Dapat maapreciate mo yun." I am not sure what that means but i just w...

The Mid-Year Crisis

I call it Mid-Year Crisis. And literally, this happens in the middle of the year. Have you been here: Anxious about the status of your career Panicky about your financial status which is directly correlated to your, uhuh, Career Forced to get married in the next two years because you're not getting any younger Fretting over time lost where you feel you've been completely unproductive yet you feel so tired and restless Pushing the panic button because at this month, you haven't really achieved anything from the goals you have listed at the start of this year Felt so alone and no one cares to listen because (a) You're too embarrassed to tell any of your friends (b) You know from past experiences that your friends won't care (c) They are also experiencing the same crisis Bring down the curtain and wind up that it is really hard to be successful in this life and it's just so hard to achieve your dreams so you better look for an alternative, Uhhmm, letting yourse...
