Ilang araw na lang pala, pasko na.

It’s sad I could not feel the Christmas spirit. Perhaps it’s the horrendous news in media nowadays. Not even the Pacquiao’s win and Penaflorida’s award boost my morale. In fact, I even feel sad that their achievements (expecially Penaflorida’s) has been shadowed by the gruesome news that followed their victories.

Eleksyon na kasi.

I think I’ll burst if I hear another unqualified person files his/her certificate of candidacy. Maybe every citizen is unqualified one way or another.

Ideally, one should look at competency and platform of the candidate during elections. Then again, our democracy is a mile away from reaching the ideal state. So what now?

Haaaaayy….

September 26 was supposed to be normal Saturday. I opted to stay in my brother’s house in Filinvest Homes in Marcos Hiway because: (1) I had to study for a final exam to the short course I’m taking in UP ITTC and (2) My sister took the car and reported for duty in a conference in SMX. I just planned my boring day of endless reading and note taking and I figured I can always hitch a ride with my brother and sister-in-law the moment they had to go up to Antipolo.

I never thought I could reach our home three days later.

This weekend didn’t turn out the way I envisioned it a few days ago.

While my officemates are excited with their upcoming vacation (may it be Bohol, Palawan or maybe Boracay), I was planning a weekend or two of having to lounge around at home and/or the mall with my Dearest or my friends. Oh, and yeah, my friends and I were planning to go to EK to. A childhood wish that was postponed ever since we last went there.

Due to work schedules, we had to postpone the EK trip to another date. No bitterness here, as it didn’t seem right to go to Laguna with an empty car seat. Happiness minus one (or two) was never an option for us in the first place.

Bitterness came when I was issued a ticket for an honest mistake.
