The hiatus I had from writing is finally over; I have been busy these past few months, I actually still am. I just have to write about something very important…FEAR.
Nelson Mandela once said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” True to most, I would like to rephrase it for this post–MY deepest fear is not that HE is inadequate, MY deepest fear is that HE MIGHT BECOME powerful beyond measure…AGAIN.

“It would take a lifetime to find someone like you.” –Bishop Soc Villegas
Pres. Corazon Aquino was the Philippines’ ray of light amidst the darkness of corruption, deceit and violence; and today, she once again IS. At least, after a long while, people of different principles, ideals and tradition come together as Filipinos.
My eyes were wet, while watching Cory’s burial, not because I was grieving for the country’s loss but because of joy. When I saw the number of people who attended and the tears that each of them was shedding I was in complete awe at how great President Cory Aquino truly was. My mother was telling me how ‘simple’ but wise, this woman who led the Philippines in its surge for truth back in the days. Truly, our democracy will forever be owed to her.
I have, but few words to share in this time of sadness. I just wish that the Filipino people will give justice to the legacy that President Cory left us; a legacy of truthfulness, togetherness and faithfulness despite hardships and trials. Finally, to the housewife who became the mother of us all, the sheep who led the flock, MABUHAY PO KAYO MAM!
The level of respect and amount of hope that our people have on today’s government is indeed imperceptible; taking into account everyone’s all-out assault against both the administration and opposition (including their irrefutable attempts on killing each other). You can’t help but wonder what the future holds for our country. To date, there are only two things that excite me about next year…the upcoming NBA Free Agents (includes LeBron James and a gang of basketball talents) and the 2010 Elections. Yeah, the 2010 Elections: where patriots with much needed idealism are thrown into a pool of greedy, power-hungry, ass-kissing hypocrites. They converge and munch on the crumbs of what was a reputable-soon-to-be-super-power country. What, if not for their blind ambitions, will they offer the Philippines? Continue reading
