my life, or something like it
It's been a while since I last posted here. Technically, it just feels like a New York minute. Days have seemed to pass by so quickly that I seem to have lost track of what's going on and all. Nothing eventful has been happening much in my life as of late, and I haven't come up with a preposterous idea to blog about.
There's something I've come to realize though...
A friend of mine, whom I chat with occasionally over at my Yahoo! messenger, told me that I tend to come out frosty when I blog or when I post in this forum. In other words, I tend to be cold, devoid of evident emotion, and all mind. However, she tells me that when I chat, the side of me that has my heart, bubbly, emotion-filled, and all, well that side shows up a lot more when I chat.
Maybe it's because I really don't like telling my life stories here in a blog. I've grown past that stage. I don't feel the whole world has to know what color of pajamas I wear when I go to sleep, or what cereal I had for breakfast. It's too mundane, too trivial. I always have that "who cares about my life, anyway, so why should I blog about it?" attitude. I often just like to speak my arrogant, feisty mind out online. That's why I often come out arrogant. My best friend agrees with I guess a lot of people who think I am. Then again, I'm stubborn too. Who cares what they think? If they don't accept me like that, then fine. After all, genuine acceptance comes from appreciating even the weakest points of other people. I've learned how to welcome people into my fold because of who they are.
It's election season in my homeland. I'm not endorsing anyone for two reasons: 1)nobody is righteous enough to be a President and 2)I'll be a hypocrite if I endorse anybody and not vote. I'm in Uncle Sam's lair. I'll not compromise my privilege of legally staying here for a single vote which has little power in a fraudulent society. If you ask my entire take on this, I'll tell you that the Philippine system has to rid itself of its so-called "democracy." After all, everyone has pretty much laid crap on every democratic system we have now. What the Phillipines needs is an iron hand. An idealistic dictator who will rule by policy and spare nobody who manipulates or goes above the system. An idealistic dictator who will use what the country generates FOR the people, and not FOR the politicians. An idealistic dictator who will purge the cultural and moral corruption of many Filipinos -- goodbye Western culture, the clubs, the morals, the nightlife, the extravagance -- (sorry guys, but look at how China's doing right now) and develop a national identity. An idealistic dictator who will rally the people to work hard to build the nation. And I mean the entire systems must be dismantled and rebuilt. Someone who has political will, and is not afraid to ruffle the feathers of the corrupt.
I know I'll never be popular with this perspective, and it will not happen in this lifetime, but heck, it's the best solution I know, IMHO.
