Tomorrow's going to be Noynoy's inauguration. People have been going on and on about how GMA has been in power for too long and all that, but it was just today I realized how long she's actually been in power.
I think this is the first time I'm going to be witnessing a presidential inauguration na may malay na ako. As in totoong malay.
I watched GMA get sworn into office by the Chief Justice Davide. I was in Grade Five then. I don't remember GMA's 2004 inauguration. I don't know why. But 2004, I was in second year high school. True enough, I've always been quite politically aware - my parents being who and what they are - but I think at this point, I'm politically aware because of my own doing, and not just because I overhear my parents talking politics in the car or over the dinner table.
GMA assumed the presidency when I was in Grade Five. She's been president ever since, until now. I'm now in fourth year college. Putangina oo nga ang tagal nang presidente ni Gloria.

I kinda wanna go to the street party tomorrow. It's part of history, after all.
