Dubai... its time for me to go...

Di ko mapigil and yes I'm going to rant and rave today so pasensya na.

Just recently may narinig ako sa radio, sangkatutak na mga kongresista daw ang kasama ni GMA papuntang spain and to do what? wala?! all expense paid daw sila jusme ano kaya yun? Tapos yung tax ng taong bayan ang kanilang pinapanggastos?

Lord may karma ba talaga? haay kaya palagay ko hindi totoo ang karma eh imagine ang daming gago sa pinas and yet buhay pa rin sila at yumayaman haay habang ang mga simpleng empleyado walang magawa kundi kumayod ng kumayod.

kagabi nag-usap kami ng barkada ko. itong barkada ko 4 years nang nagtatrabaho sa kumpanya nya he started na yung sweldo niya mga 10k lang he worked up the ladder and proved to the company na talagang kaya nya ngayon he's earning thrice as much as he was earning 4 years ago. pero ito ang catch that was 4 years ago.

Yung kasama niya sa opisina na nasa dubai na earns around 250k flat. Unang sweldo nya nakabili na siya ng sony psp at laptop. usme ilang taon na akong nagtatrabaho ni isang gameboy wala pa akong nabili sa unang sweldo ko. The next thing she knows she's enrolling in french classes and swimming lessons other than pina-pag-aral pa nya yung kapatid nya sa pinas. Wala na daw siyang magawa sa pera nya dun.

The next thing na sinabi ng barkada ko nilalakad na daw nila nung ibang officemates nila yung passport nila in fact nag pa-picture na daw sila for passport and nagpa-authenticate na ng mga birth certificates nila.

Nasabi ko na lang:

"Ok yan bro tama yan labas ka ng bansa... talagang wala naman kasing asenso dito sa pilipinas eh..."

at bakit walang asenso sa pilipinas kamo? haay nako dahil sa mga leader natin at sa mga taong mas gustong manatiling ganun ang lider nila kaya ganun.

In fact yung favorite prof. ko na ubod ng galing pinagsisisihan na nya kung bakit di siya lumabas ng bansa nuong may pagkakataon pa siya. kasi daw nung panahon ni Cory he was hoping na magiging ok ang bansa turned out wala din kaya mga anak nya ngayon isa isa nang nagpapaalam and he's giving them all his blessings.

pero sabi niya sakin heto:

"Floyd hindi kita pipigilan kung gusto mong umalis ng bansa pero if aalis ka malulungkot talaga ako dahil mauubusan ng magagaling na tao at makabayang tulad mo."

Wala akong nasabi sa mga sinabi niya. in fact mas napaisip ako lalo. Dati kasi nagsulat ako about the movie city of god its a very good film and inihambing ko to sa pilipinas na walang ibang way para gumanda ang buhay kundi lumabas ng bansa.

Dun kasi sa movie lahat ng iimik, magrereklamo, magagaling pinapatay bago pa sila tuluyang maging influential, or else the other thing to do is join another group of hoodlums and kill each other off.

It convinced me thoroughly to get out of the country especially when somebody wants to have a good future for their children.

So it got me thinking, san kaya magandang mag-migrate? hmm... ayoko sa US daming baliw, ayoko din sa europe baka ako mabaliw hehehe siguro somewhere in asia hmm bahala na lets see...

I sent a number of text messages regarding the makati standoff and I had number of reactions that really irked me.

reaction #1: I don't care (mga dalawang taga UP yan ha)

reaction #2: Trillanes is a destabilizer, mayabang and stupid.

reaction #3: And who do you think would replace GMA? Them destabilizers? They are all the same! all politicians are the same!

reaction #4: They said that they are representing the people then why are they targeting posh hotels?

In the first reaction I said "Ok then i'll let you off my list"

on the second reaction I said "Destabilizer? He wouldn't have done it if GMA didn't cheat don't you think? Mayabang? In what way?"

on the third reaction I said "if you know the constitution you'd know the answer, if it's Noli you don't like then you're thinking of removing her extra-constitutionaly then I think you should think of a good replacement, but if you think that all of them are the same then I think they are all the same because you keep them that way in short you don't do your part in changing the political landscape and one way of doing that is by keeping mum."


On the fourth reaction I literaly laughed out loud, you see I really don't see the point of this reaction. It sounds like if you are poor then you don't deserve to go to five star hotels or even manifest your displeasure in a "posh" place no matter how justified your protestations are. Its just sinfully funny and discriminating the least.


Their reactions differ but I'm not sure If I did swayed them to the course I'm heading to which is "We let other people do the things we should've rightfully done in the first place and that is weed out all of the corrupt politicians we voted into office. You see when you vote it doesn't end there, you should be watchful of how the politician works so you'll know if the taxes you are paying him to do his job are really worth it. Or else that person should be put out of power. It is not a question of opinion as I see it rather it is a question of morals.

For goodness sake the president has time and again cheated on the people and made an amazing number of offences and all you have to tell me is who's going to replace her? you mean to tell me you'd let a criminal off just because you think there's no other person suited for the presidency but the president who cheated her way to office?

the bishops and nuns are right, if this is happening then we have completely lost our morals. And I don't know how we can come up with it anymore.

I just don't understand why people can't see it.

maybe it takes more than morals to really awaken this country haay...
