I dont want to write about the eheads concert. Im still emotional for that matter. Im sure, uulanin ang blogsphere ng tungkol dun, so ayaw kong makiuso muna. Tsaka na.
Im not going to blog about my ex john here(spelled as jon talaga). But disclaimer muna:
*this is going to be a very boring entry. read at your own risk.
I woke up. Lit my cigarette. Puffed. Grabbed my cellphone. Then I came over this message ni Ericson the other day. "This is going to be tough for the GOP"
He knows, I'm not a democrat, and never was. Believe it or not, when it comes to politics, I'm conservative. I don't want to go into details why am I a republicant. I could go on and on and it will just bore you to death.
Still with me? (Y/N)
So, let me go back to the text message(btw, he is one of my good friends living in the US now... gago ka ton, leche ka umuwi ka na dito.. miss ka na namin). And I went online, goody he is online too!
I present the boring part... (if youre interested with poli-tics(lol) just read on... if not, hit X on the upper right corner)

And here I am, still wondering, john,is this a stunt? Because if it is, im not buying it (as of this moment)
Maybe(or im sure), you are asking: Why am i interested with their politics? Admit it, our politics is mirroring theirs. Our society is a shadow of their past. What matters to them now, will matter to us someday.

wow! pinag tyagaan mong basahin?
oh well, matagal na akong GOP e.. heheheh..
*raises hand* pick me! pick me!
but then again, i dont think itd be a conversation. more like a lecture, id just sit there enjoy the kofi and enjoy learning from you. im not much into politics, i know, parang di UPian di ba!?
that's why i want to volunteer and start being more socially aware. eheheh.. :D
ano game?! kaya lang matanong ako! baka mainis ka lang :D heheh
wow ayz! na touch naman ako.. talagang binasa mo yung mahabang post..
sige mag kape tayo minsan.. at susubukan kong sagutin tanong mo.. please lang wag math, sila lv at ci ang tanungin mo sa math.. lol.. wag din chem.. si pb tanungin mo sa chem..
I read this not because I find this fit for my pea-sized brain, but because I just wanna know why the author is, ironic-but-not-surprising, a non-feminist.
BUT I can't help it. So here're my thoughts (yet my opinions are based on the limited facts I've gathered from the news these past few days):
Yes, it IS indeed a desperate move by the GOP to choose Palin as McCain's running mate.
GOP might have more than a hundred reasons in selecting Sarah. But I dare say I'm sticking first to what I thought is obvious...
Choosing a woman as a running mate may be a move wishing to reinvigorate the Republicans and gain support from women who were disappointed over Sen. Hillary Clinton’s failure to win a Democratic ticket.
Surely, GOP can pull up more famous women. Like Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Celine Dion, Lisa Leslie, Criselda dela Paz... But why Palin?
McCain is 72. If ever, he will be the oldest US President at the time of taking the White House. His old age is his campaign's main liability. Although he seems fit and there're no solid reasons to doubt he would not see out a four-year term, he needed to offer voters a potential second President - and a 44 year old woman seems fit.
If MC hopes that Sarah's presence would deny his rival of an age advantage, it may have done exactly the reverse. With Sarah as running mate, he denied himself of his original argument that Barack is too young and unprepared for the office of Presidency. Talk about the worst thing of giving yourself a whip of your own argument...
And then again, they maybe banking on "voting by excitedness". Only a week earlier, most Americans have never heard of the name Sarah Geronimo, err, Palin. Bringing a fresh face on the stage will surely trigger enthusiasm.
But if I am an American, I'll take that as an insult (yes, coming from a Filipino from a country where majority thinks that popularity equates leadership). It implies that GOP thinks that those excited by Hillary's candidacy would elect any woman in the White House, or near it - and the Republicans are offering second best.
...and Americans should know the results of election by emotions better. They need not go here: look around and ask our Pinoy friends there. The pinoys who decided to migrate to their land, and escape the stench and grimes of our country's politics.
SINAPIAN NA NAMAN AKO SA PAGCOMMENT.
Nais ko munang humngi ng pasintabi kung sa wikang nakasanayan ko ito sasagutin. Marahil nakapag tataka, samantalang usapang pang ibayong dagat ang ating tema. Matindi ang aking katungali kung kaya’t minarapat ko na lang ilabas ang natitirang hibla ng aking kukote.
Ang pagpili ni MC kay Palin ay nagbigay ng palaisipan sa mga sumusuporta sa GOP. Kung ating babalik-tanawin ang adhikain ng GOP hindi kasama ang kanilang hinagap ang isang mala karnabal na gobyerno. Wala sa bukabolaryo ang makiuso at sumabay sa dikta ng panahon.
Ang gobyerno ay hindi payak na organisasyon na basta-basta nag papaudyok sa hamon ng nakakararami. Sinimulan ni MC ang isang desperadong desisyon upang manalo. Bigo ako, kung tutuusin. Ang inakala kong ideyalismo ng GOP ay tuluyang nawawala.
Hindi sapat na idahilan kalagayan ng kanyang edad at ang mahikayat na bumoto ang isang babae sa kapwa babae ng dahil lang sa pareho sila ng kasarian. Isa itong ulitmo-remedyo upang sumabay sa mala-krismastri na pangangampanya ng kabilang partido.
Ano ang politikal na karanasan ni Palin? Oo nga at mas bata sya. Kung bawian nga ng buhay si MC, gaya ng binabadya ng marami, kaya ba niyang pangatawanan ang isa sa pinaka mataas na katugkulan ng dilang sa kanilang bansa ngunit sa buong mundo? Sapat na ba ang maging alkalde ng isang poblasyon ng dalawa o tatlong termino? Ang maging isang punong lalawigan ng dalawang termino lamang?
Maaring may eksaherasyon ako. Bise-presidente nga ang posisyong kanyang aasamin, ngunit parang isang palihis na tumbukin na wari ikinakatakot ng lahat ay siya ang maaring sunod na maging pangulo. Kung tutuusin walang masama kung maging pangulo ang isang babae. Ang importanteng tanong ay kaya ba niyang pantiliin? Kaya ba niyang bigyan ng pangagailanga? Kayanin ba ng isang babae ang makabuo ng isang matatag at walang tinag na desisyon na walang halong emosyon?
Kung sakali man na manalo ang GOP sa eleksyong ito, inaasam ko na kayanin nilang panindigan ang isang desisyong dinulot ng udyok
wow! politically-inclined ka rin pala ning. hehe. well, sabi mo nga sumabay ka lang sa usapan. but it was really surprising na marami ka ring alam sa american politics.
