Yan ang tagalog ng Ah-choo aka pagbahing. Kaya naman sa amin sa Marinduque, tawag din sa pagbahing ay paghaching.

Ang weird ng hapong ito. Uminom na nga ako ng Vitamin C kaninang tanghali. But no, may sariling mundo ang ilong ko na humigop ng sari-saring alikabok at dumi o kung anong virus. Kaya naman, ang pangit ng pakiramdam ko. Kanina pa ako bumabahing.

Ang masama nito, pag patuloy kasi akong bumabahing, kumakati rin yung lalamunan ko. At yun ang pinakaayaw ko. Yun lang kasi ang kating hindi mo makamot. Peste talaga. Parang kung pwede lang isuot yung daliri ko mula sa bibig papuntang lalamunan, gagawin ko.

Hindi ako makaconcentrate. Namen. Dami dami pang kailangan gawin. Pero heto, kailangan sumaglit akong mag-blog para ikwento ang kamalasang ito. (Wow, parang magagamot ako eh).

Magkakasakit pa yata ako. After kasi ng mga ganitong pangyayari, tuloy sipon/ubo ito. Oh shoot. 2nd outbreak na ba ng AH1N1 at naapektuhan na ako?

Owel. I'm back to working. Focus focus. Haha.

Quickie.

Just finished watching episode 6 of You're Beautiful/You're Handsome. I will discuss it more next time. But I'm seriously loving it not just because Jang Geun-Seuk is there.

The plot is cool. About young people so I'm loving the young cast. And the hilarity of the script is just freaking awesome.

Plus, the one playing Shin Woo was so cute in this episode. And my heart goes for him (amverysorry, JGS).

Since Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy, I had a thing for good boys or the go-to person of the leading lady yet is seen only by the lead as her friend and nothing more. They are the other side on forming the love triangle yet they don't push their luck and let the two sides get together.

This is weird because I never liked the character of Vic Zhou on Meteor Garden although he was my crush there. More so with Jihoo-sunbae in BOF. I've always had a thing for the lead character.

But yes, since Brilliant Legacy, I have liked these good boys. Maybe because I hate people who push their luck on the love triangle when it's been obvious from the start that the person they like don't like them back. It's just too pathetic. But these good boys do not turn their back. They don't even lose their chance of saying they like that person. Yet, when they are rejected, they don't raise hell on everyone just so the two cannot be happy together. They stay as friends, someone taking care of the one they like just because.

But of course, I'm not losing my sight on the main characters. And when JGS kissed UEE, I almost clutched my heart because I feel for Park Shin Hye's character. Not because I like JGS personally but the scene was acted out so well, I felt myself wearing the shoes of "Go Mi Nam" and feeling the scene.

Haiz. Must get a (love)life. Like seriously.

Males are stronger.

2009-10-02T08:41:53Z

Well, the storms using male names are.

When I was in elementary and high school (yeah, so that was almost 10-15 years ago), Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or widely-known as PAGASA use female names for storms entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility. When I asked adults why they do that, they said that females are fickle-minded just like the weather. Or somewhere along that line.

But by the time I was in college, if I'm not mistaken, they started using several names for it, not even names of people are included. Case in point is Bagyong Milenyo.

This year, or just recently, Ondoy ravaged us like it's the end of the world. Like it's his last chance to bring on all his wrath to the world. Unfortunately (or fortunately, wherever you may be geographically located), he chose not the whole world but certain places in Luzon, most especially Marikina, Rizal, Quezon City, Pasig, Taguig, Laguna and Bulacan. I know the list goes on but the bottomline is, it chose the Philippines.

It was my first time to worry so bad because of a natural calamity. I have experienced earthquakes, even some storms here in Manila and back in Marinduque. But I have stayed calm and remained hopeful.

But Ondoy gave me a different feeling. Days of waiting for my affected friends to text me that they're okay left me agitated. I felt so hopeless and helpless that I can't even rush over to their places to help them out. Being part of the workforce left me feeling that I'm not even worth to be called an Iska or even a Filipino because I can't spend too much time volunteering to help out those affected.

And the Saturday I am waiting for so I could help out is now a day everyone fears about. Because of Pepeng. Even people wanting to help are left immobile because news says that we must stay at home or on 'safe' places such as evacuation centers. If only we can really text "Pepeng (space) OFF" and send to any hotline for it not to pass here, I bet we will spend millions. And as of the moment, everyone is fervently praying that God will spare us from this storm.

Ondoy has left us paranoid. And panicky. We might even be scared of few raindrops that we will experience soon. But I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, as cliche at it may sound.

I just hope that really, Ondoy was too much for us to bear. God spare us from the wrath of Pepeng.

June 3, 2009. Tuesday.

8:13pm
Nagtext si Joji (HS classmate):
Guys, pls pray 4 me-ann's mom..khpon po namatay!

*napatigil ako sa pag-iinternet at nagdasal saglit*

8:36pm
Nagtext si Kaye (bestfriend):
Nmatay khpon ang nanay ni me-an dhl s breast cancer. Bka gus2 nyong mgxtnd ng condolnces. I2 numbr nya: 0915xxxxxxx.

*dito na ako natauhan. hindi dahil bestfriend ko na ang nagtext. pero dahil naisip ko na simula grumaduate ako ng college, hindi ko na masyado nakakausap si meix tulad ng dati. naisip ko rin kung gaano kabait si tita (case in point: sleepover nung HS presscon). at kung paanong this may ko lang nalaman na may breast cancer pala siya. and all the while, i was talking to meix without knowing na maysakit ang mama niya, that everything's going so good in her life*

Sumalangit nawa ang kaluluwa ni Tita.

***

8:45pm
Nagtext si Mike (former officemate):
Mga friends, ang stephanie mo isang ganap na nanay na! nanganak n po s quirino hospital. bisita tayo bukas.

*hindi pa ako tapos malumbay. kailangan ko na ba talagang lumigaya? pero hindi ko rin napigil ang ngiti at excitement dahil mommy na si mommy!!

8:50pm
Unknown person who knows my number (must check on this person):
Happy Birthday to Stephen Marion "Seth" Gaspar! Born June 3, 2009. 1:30pm, 5.3 pounds, 2.5 dangkal! :)

*so habang gumagawa ako ng showcards at final skimming and study of qnr before the 2pm briefing, umiiri na pala nang bonggang bongga si mommy. welcome godson seth! ikaw na ang pampalakas ng relasyon ng mga magulang mo. make them stick together para hindi na umasa pa si kumare kay kibum at mabawasan na ako ng isang karibal. maliit ka pero wag kang magalala, 4.11 pounds daw ako nang pinanganak. salamat at nailuwal ka na para makapagmaternity leave na si mommy!*

Congratulations Mommy. Welcome Seth.

Life is so fragile. And short. Everything comes and goes in a flash. In a matter of minutes or even seconds, feelings change. And I'm sorry if I can't express much sadness on death. I do dwell on happiness and positive feelings (as transparent as what I've written on Seth's birth). But I would always have fond memories of Meanne's mom. And will make fonder memories with Steph and Seth. Carpe diem!

it's my first time to use wifi with my cellphone. :) being a notso techy person, I really find this amazing. now I know why touchscreen phones have stylus. 'cause d buttons over the intrnt are so small, nails would touch other buttons.

yes I know. im speaking (or blogging) like a total idiot right now. haha. but this is fun. will see this as soon as I log-on using regular internet.

2008-12-09T14:09:41Z

Too tired to rant. I just want this all to end. And finally have my Christmas holiday. And I don't plan on working. I'll hibernate on our province. December 19 seems like the longest date I've ever waited for as of the moment.

Dear Lord, let me reach by December 19 unscathed. And still full of energy or wide-awake.

Kaya kailangan kong pumasok ng maaga bukas.
Hindi dahil para magtrabaho. (Well, of course, I do intend to work)
Kung hindi para maunahan si Jas or lilbigsparkles .
Dahil kung hindi makikita ng buong TNS Makati si 'E' sa cubicle ko.

finally.

2008-11-28T18:25:55Z

we've met.

*kinikilig ako*
nang bonggang bongga

salamat kay

lilbigsparkles

dahil sayo friend, lumigaya ang araw ko.

I'm so lost I might stay here for a while.

2008-11-25T02:11:45Z

Sorry for wasting your time.

If I want to move, it better be the best or what I really want.

I thought I could be there. Maybe it's just PMS.

For now, until I find and am sure that I really want this, I might stay here.

New LJ mayhap?

2008-04-06T05:20:36Z

I dunno. Just thinking that since this journal is the college-girl journal (hullo, rantings from acads to orgs to lovelife or lack thereof; on the other hand, now that I think about it, I guess I would be ranting again when I'm already working, haha), I might make a new one for a change of life.

Like I have to let go of still feeling that I'm in college and I could cram my way to everything. I mean, class cards are not the only thing I should be worrying about. It's the money I'll be bringing to the household soon or in my bank account and the chance to go up that ladder of success. Really now. That really sounds dreadful and gives me anxiety.

Ooooh. I hate having to graduate. The need to be more responsible and mature is just icky. Yet again, there's no other way but up (or work) lest I want to stay in the province and plow our ricefields. I learned so many things in college and plowing the fields is not one of them.

So yeah. I don't know if I have to get a new LJ. I mean, I would only ramble and rant about things, just what I've always done here in blissfreak. But I'll be talking about other things--work, missing college, missing UP, ~~not having a boyfriend~~, work, officemates, deadline or schedule and work again. I just hope that I'll be talking about them happily or just okay, not ranting about them. Haha.

So there. Just a thought. Maybe a new LJ or a new layout for blissfreak. I dunno. Am so undecided. But if ever I'll be having a new LJ, blissfreak will still be updated once in a while but then, I have to private-lock some entries already. Just to clean it or whatever.

Boredom really makes you think about nonsensical things.
Haha. XD
I wish I have money. Badly want to go out. :(

Hindi pwedeng maging virus na tinubuan ng laptop si Inline. :(

2008-04-05T14:59:42Z

Okay. So I'm calling my laptop Inline already. Haha, just baptized him with a name after a year and a half of having it. The name's Inline because those are the bold letters in the sticker brought by my father from his company. So there, not much of a significant story behind it.

~~But, it would be doomed for the next few days. :(~~

Earlier last week, Kaspersky has been bothering me with warning tabs appearing every time I open Inline. It says that I have to renew my license or else, the license would expire. And though I could keep it, it would not be updated anymore, making Inline a very vulnerable techie gadget to viruses and stuffs.

I was already ignoring those warnings last week because I was still consumed and preoccupied with my thesis and worrying about it. It was only a few days after that I started to worry about the expiration of my anti-virus' license. More so, I was worried that I had to pay some fees for it to be renewed. So I did not even thought of clicking the go-here-to-renew option but out of my curiosity, I clicked on it last Wednesday, and I was correct. I have to pay for the renewal.

Me being kuripot and me having no credit card to pay that and me not trusting Internet sites and paying online mean that I'm doomed. And Inline would suffer the consequences. But yes, I have a plan. I plan that I'll just uninstall it then after a day, I will install it again. I do hope that will work. In any case, I guess I have to search for anti-virus and scout and use some free trials. Or if someone could lend me their anti-virus, it would be much appreciated. Thanks. :)

I'm too fly to be depressed.

Nakikigaya lang kay mimarquez.

Your past life diagnosis:

I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Oceania around the year 400. Your profession was that of a jeweler or watch-maker.

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Such people are always involved with all new. You have always loved changes, especially in art, music, cooking.

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your lesson is to learn discretion and moderation and then to teach others to do the same. Your life will be happier if you help those who lack reasoning.

So. Babae pa rin pala ako sa past life. Oceania, nice. Hmm, and I think mayaman ako dahil alahas at relo ang aking ginagawa. :P
And: I must help people who lack reasoning. Oh yes. No reason to be depressed. XD

Excerpts and my reactions:

from teacup79 in the LJ Community:

"...story is set half a year after Ashiya Mizuki (Horikita) left Osaka Gakuen...Sano (Oguri) and Nakatsu (Ikuta) recollect the last week of vacation that they spent with Mizuki..."
WAAAAH. For more Toma!!!

"...It will also explore Mizuki and Sano's love..."
WAAAAH uli. Yay!!! Sobrang nabitin talaga ako sa lovestory nila kaya sana naman ngayon eh mas mahaba na ito, mas nakakakilig at mas matagal at hindi corny ang kissing scene. LOL.

"...Ikuta confidently exclaimed, "I was certain that I would meet this cast again...This show will be a holiday! When it airs, please join in on the Ikemen Holiday. I'm waiting for you, Baby!.."
I'll be waiting for you too Toma. And of course, for the Ikemen Holiday. Haha. XD

May commercial na sa GMA7 sa pagpapalabas ng HANAZAKARI NO KIMITACHI E o mas kilala bilang HANA KIMI na mas kilala pa bilang IKEMEN PARADISE dahil sa may dalawang bersyon ang live series nito. Itinext pa ito sa akin ni jeijeisama na may tonong pagkalungkot.

Pero una kong reaksyon ay SOBRANG NATUWA!!! Aba, kapuso yata ako. Kaya naman tuwang-tuwa akong nakuha nila ang Ikemen. Naisip ko na nga ito dati pa. Dahil sa nakuha nila yung Coffee Prince, naisip kong kukunin din nila ang Hana Kimi Ikemen Paradise. Basta, naramdaman ko yun. At tama nga ako.

Pagkatapos ng sandaling katuwaan bigla akong NAG-ALALA. Hindi dahil sa reputasyon ng GMA na ang pangit nilang mag-dub ng kahit na anong drama/comedy/series/anime na ini-import nila mula sa ibang bansa. Matagal ko nang alam yun. At sana ay magbago na sila. Galingan na nila ang dubbing dahil maganda naman ang choices nila ng drama/comedy/series/anime.

NAG-ALALA AKO SA IYO. DAHIL SA MARAMI NA, KUNG HINDI MAN BUONG PILIPINAS AT ABOT NG GMA PINOY TV, ANG MAKAKAPANOOD SA IYO. MARAMI NA ANG PILIT AAGAW SA IYO, PAGPAPANTASYAHAN KA AT HAHADLANGAN ANG ATING PAG-IIBIGAN.

Oh well. Ganun talaga ang kapalit ng sikat na minamahal. Salamat sa pagbuhay sa aking fangirly instincts (instinct na pala siya?? haha. wala lang akong maisip na magandang term). Hay. Ihahanda ko na ang sarili ko. ~~Sa pangit na boses ng dubber mo at sa pagdagsa ng mga Pinay na hindi ka papatawarin~~. XD

---------------------
At yung Taiwan version ng Hana Kimi eh nasa ABS na.
Tsk tsk. Mas maganda ang Ikemen Paradise.
Pero aminado akong mas gwapo yung gumanap ng Sano dun sa Taiwan.
Pero mas maganda si Horikita Maki bilang Mizuki kesa yung gurl from Taiwan.
At siyempre, si Toma bilang Nakatsu. Hullo. Hindi pa ba obvious kung kanino ako papanig? XD

Oh. You Came.

2008-03-14T05:09:24Z

1pm na.
Deadline nito ay 12noon.
Sarado rin naman kasi ang dept ng 12noon diba.

Munting Panalangin:
Sana ay hindi ako mapagalitan ni Ma'am. Tanggapin pa rin ang aking first draft. At nawa ay masiyahan, o kung hindi man ay kahit matanggap niya at may [mga] positibong komento, sa gawa ko.
~~(Kahit na pakiramdam ko ay walang kwenta itong ginawa ko.)~~

At least, hindi ako 5pm kahit na natempt na ako kagabi pa.
Peace tayo sa mga nag-5pm.
Mahal ko kayo. :)

Please. Not Now. You're the last thing I need as of the moment.

2008-03-13T19:30:52Z

~~5pm is tempting.~~

But 12noon or earlier will save my notso incredible image.
(Aside from the fact that I just want this to be finished so I could sleep)

I'm not eating lunch until I finish my Geog RRL.

2008-03-11T02:34:43Z

This is the problem whenever there is suspension of classes. You tend to procrastinate. Put off everything for a while, look for the nicest wallpapers from some LJ communities and downloading episode 15 of DBY (go figure, I'm not telling) and just enjoy the instant no-classes-day. Good thing downloading is slow as of the moment because of office hours plus, I bet, there are many kids who did not bother going to school and instead went to Internet shops or chill at their house surfing the net just like me. I hate this online-traffic or whatever you call it.

I'm alone here. Poor sisterette, she has classes. Ganun ba talaga sa Miriam? And my Mother needed to go to Trinoma so she went there even if there is a strike. Without any people here in the house, it could only mean hunger for me. There are some leftovers from dinner but I do not want to reheat and eat them. There are 2 packs of instant noodles but I'm not in the mood to eat anything with hot 'sabaw' because of the weather. I'm thinking if I'm going to 7-Eleven and buy something there. Or I could try my luck on riding a jeep to Mcdo near our house (but notso near because short travel is required) because I am craving for Chicken Fillet. Or I could just settle with Chips Delight and VCut here in the table.

Must start or finish the remaining parts of my Geog Paper for me to be able to eat.
And also for me to start on my thesis.

BTW: Stephen Chow has his new movie. Stephen Chow is the actor, writer, director of the superdupergaling films Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. Now, he has CJ7 which is a Sci-Fi comedy that's different from his usual films. On the other hand, while reading that Wikipedia account, it got me excited because there's Kung Fu Hustle 2 currently in production and coming on 2010. Yay! He already has the powers right? Ooooh, I'm so excited.

And I watched a Filipino '80s film last night at CinemaOne entitled Katorse (not really watch since I'm typing and reading something then I would glance at the telly). The lead actress was Dina Bonnevie who is so young that time. And Gabby Concepcion too. But someone caught my eyes more than anyone in the film. He was the other lead actor, Alfie Anido. Siya na talaga tsong. Super matinee idol! Kung merong katulad niya sa panahon ngayon, wala na kong pakelam kina Ikuta Toma at Milo Ventimiglia. I won't look for foreign actors for my fangirling, errrmmm, needs. LOL! Then I wonder where he is now. Found out he died during the '80s. And there had been rumors behind his death. It was said to be suicide but murder is another angle they're looking into. We just lost a god here on earth. Boohoo. Nasa Temptation Island film nga pala siya. Sayang talaga.

Must get back to writing.

2008-03-10T18:24:40Z

But my mind is floating in space. And I can't think of anything to write. I have been reading my literatures for Geography for some time already. Still, I can't seem to find the words and phrases to write the paper.

~~I just want to sleep.~~

Plus, I don't have any progress with my thesis. I haven't made anything with it since the last meeting which was 2 weeks ago. Great, just great. I've been procrastinating because I'm afraid of my RRL, Conceptual and Theoretical Framework part. So, there. But I know that I have to move my ass by tomorrow if I don't want me dead by Friday, 12 noon.

Sleeping won't make your dreams come true.

After having the ultimate breather last weekend (Saturday Night: Orosman and Zafira with Anne and Sergey and I thank Anne and Kuya Alfred for the free tix; Sunday afternoon: Gateway/CBTL chilling with Kaye and Jeje on which I read the quote above from Jeje's planner), I know I must do my acads already. And it's going to be 3am soon so I have to start this.

Or so I thought.

2008-03-05T16:12:02Z

Wala, binibiro ka lang.
Hindi, siya talaga yun.

Panggulo. Para kang pangulo ng bansa, pang-gulo.

Yet, I still think it was him. him was there.
Must stop having those dreams.
Must remind myself him is a mere distraction.
Must get back to the causes of my stress and I don't want to be distracted.

I'll be on a hiatus from the virtual/cyber world, my friends. Well, at least for two days. And I don't think I'll be missing it. Unlike those times I ranted whenever I'm going home to Marinduque for vacation. Because we (me and my Cultural Geography or Geography 173 and another Geog class) are leaving for La Union and Baguio by 11:00pm tonight. Yay! My first time to watch Panagbenga Festival. Alavet!

snagged from www.cityofpines.com/panagbenga2002.html

By Sunday, I'll have my own pictures of the festival! XD

La Union and Baguio are the much needed breather. I could just imagine me walking by the beach and deciphering, contemplating and deciding the plans for my thesis. And Baguio and La Union surfing to amaze me and make me forget for a while that thesis is teh hell-on-earth for college students. I'm actually bringing some thesis stuffs since I'm planning to do it there. Haha, ~~but I'm already thinking that I might not do anything there~~. Still, you never know. But I will definitely enjoy and have fun! :)

Sheeznez, hindi ko ma-click yung sa size options. I want to have xx-small phrases here. :(

2008-02-10T08:01:41Z

Nanonood ako ngayon ng Extreme Makeover Home Edition sa Velvet. Bilang commercial sa aking pagtatranscribe. And alav the show so much. Naalala ko pa how Kaye and I abhor the AmbushMakeover show dahil sa munting paniniwala na masyado nilang ina-align ang notion of the beauty sa general notion nito na dapat eh clean and sleek hair, made-up face and nice clothes. Well, tuwang-tuwa naman ang mga na-ambush. Most of them actually. But still, let them be. I mean, it's still ambush and you want to change them at that moment. Maybe with their consent pero masyadong biglaan and not out of their own will.

So, eto, ang Extreme Makeover Home Edition ang mahal na mahal naming show ng kapatid ko. Haha. Ansaya kasi ng nagagawa nilang renovations sa house. Amazing indeed. Tapos most families pa have enough reasons for wanting to change their house like the disabled son na gusto sana eh may elevator sa bahay para nakakaakyat siya sa kwarto ng magulang niya or nakakakain with them and for the siblings na nawalan ng magulang, just for a change and to move on. Basta, masayang manood. Hehe.

Naisip ko lang, imposibleng gawin ito dito sa Pilipinas. Mababatikos lang ang show. Imbes na pagtuunan ang renovation, mas madami pa ring Pinoy ang walang bahay o "disenteng" bahay na matatawag. Hmm. So yun.

Nga pala, ang iniintay kong Honey and Clover Episode 3 with subs
eh dumating na rin sa SARS-Fansubs.com. Yahoo!!!

At napanood ko na rin ang Episodes 1 to 3 ng One Tree Hill. Hay, after watching so much Asian series and movies, I miss watching American show. Bawat episode na lang, umiiyak ako. Especially the family scene. Haha. Yay!!!

~~A productive weekend indeed for me-wanting-some-leisure-time. Ahaha. XD~~

Pulitikayoka (Pulitika+Kayo+Ako). Ahaha. XD

2008-02-04T16:56:19Z

Funneh. That is all I can say with what happened today or this evening at The House of Representatives. Everyone voted whether they agree or not on declaring the seat of the House Speaker vacant. And the Yes votes have it.

Okay. I hate talking and analyzing anything that concerns government and economy. It's too heavy for me to handle, so to speak. Though I could analyze those things somehow, what I have always love thinking and being critical about are the other social institutions especially the family and religion. Added to the two are the mundane things that happen to you and to me and the entire human race such as teh popular culture.

So with the thesis occupying much of my mind right now (No, not writing the thesis but thinking on when and how could I "cram" my way to passing something on Wednesday), I can't think of anything deep (or pa-deep) to say about the whole brouhaha in the Congress. But what struck me was the way some representatives explained their vote. And oh, they were so ironic.

What is clear is Teh Patronage Politics evident in their speeches. Like they would give so much praises to Speaker De Venecia and his family (especially the friends of Manay Gina) and then, they would say that they recognize the need for change, they are still representing their constituents so they are voting for Yes. Well, people, you might as well said that you're voting for yes and nothing else. Why is there a need to explain in the session and in National Television (I bet they know that they are being shown live)? I mean, if you feel so guilty of voting a yes, then explain to the ex-Speaker personally. Malaki siguro ang utang na loob kay De Venecia. Haha. XD

The good thing I guess is that though PP is evident, they did not let it affect their decision. They still voted yes, right. But I really had some problems with their speeches being so ironic and very defensive.

Oh well. This is the only thing I could say about it. I have been too pessimistic to the point of being apathetic with our local and national leaders. Why do you feel like you are so powerful when in fact, you were just there because of the Filipino people? Again, most leaders have been so obsessed with their interests that we are bound to pay the repercussions of their stupidity and selfishness.

Oh. Yes. Another thing. I know that there are pressures on being the leader of any organization or for this matter, the House of Representatives. You have to be able to lead other reps in order for the house to legislate effectively. And if my knowledge is correct, every legislation were deliberated upon and voted so that it will become a law. Majority wins, right. So why do they put the blame to the leader for what the House has achieved or has not achieved? Or the reforms in the House.

Actually, nagpapa-deep lang. If you could even consider this as something insightful or whatsoever. I really don't know much about this. I could only speak as an outsider. And I have no plans or even dream of being an insider. Running for a political seat is not for me. I'd rather stay at home and do some online streaming and stalking over the Internet. I have always believe that passion is required to run for the political seat. Not merely of growing up in the Senate building or any political office just because your parents work there. Not because you have been urged by the "people" to run and take care of them. Pity won't get you anywhere in the government and love for the people could only get you at this point but not further than being the best servant of the people. Your sole choice and the passion that brought and will support you down here or up there.

P.S. At wala pa daw akong masabi sa lagay na ito. LOL!
