judgement day

after three months of training, the culminating activity was the revalida, which happened yesterday.

i did what i could. hope that was taken into consideration.

three months have come and gone. who would've thought i'd make it through the training?

and as i write this, they're deliberating if i get in or not.


*cringe*



i think i have to start looking for another job, just in case.

a call to arms

Our country may be on the verge of losing its identity.

With the President faced with such controversies, with politicos showing their hidden agendas, and the show business that is the Philippine politics, it is a natural human reaction that the people would lose faith. They wouldn't know who and what to believe anymore; hence their anarchaic inclination - a call for impeachment to the incumbent President. But really, is this the viable solution? Tell me, who would be the fitting replacement?

Let us remember that when GMA held office two years ago, the country was in shambles. Barely recovering from the masa's choice of a President, as well as the economic crisis, GMA already had her hands full with the responsibility of stabilizing the country's economy, gaining the people's trust through her programs (as aptly mentioned in her past SONA's), and encouraging investors that the Philippines is indeed a profitable investment - providing employment opportunities to many. That's asking a lot for somebody who devoted most of her life in politics.

Yes, we still are struggling. We may not be out of the economic crisis, but we manage, for the most part. Despite the depreciating currency, rampant crimes, graft and corruption, and the spiritual controversies, we still hold our ground - rightfully so.

I understand the need to speak one's mind, to protest against such cruelties and illegalities. I respect your ideals, as well as your sentiments.

However, please re-learn the value of patience. A violent reaction towards such does not merit a quantifiable solution. We are all free to speak our mind, but in these cases, freedom of speech is better when accompanied with a logical and practical solution to the problem. As idealistic as it sounds, further elaborate what, in your opinion, should be done in order to be free from this chaos the country found herself in.

It's funny how as a Catholic (majority) nation, we fail to imbibe the value of faith. We have been very materialistic and selfish, looking for personal gains at any given situations. But in these trying times, faith is all you have left. Don't lose the faith.

As the old saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day; neither is the Great Wall of China. There is nothing perfect in this world; Our country still has a long way to go as a nation, but nevertheless, hope prevails.

just because
