EDSA'06

It has been two decades since the Marcos regime was ousted from Malacañang. Now, the same thing is happening all over again. Yesterday, the president declared the Proclamation No. 1017, putting the country under a "state of national emergency." Although Marshall Law was removed from the constitution to avoid history from repeating itself, it was not so.

This proclamation is definitely futile. There's no such basis to put the Philippines in a state of emergency. This was brought about by too much paranoia and maybe guilt from the current president. Now we see more of illegal acts done by the administration. Freedom of the press is snatched from our list of rights. The writ of habeas corpus is suspended. There might be killing next.

If we do not fight this administration, the democracy which our parents fought for will be wasted. Save the Philippine identity, stop the TRUE destabilizers.

Crunch time!

Only two weeks to go and I still have to finish a lot before I join the unemployed sector of the country! Mostly, this concerns my thesis. As of the moment, I still have to revise my Chapters 1-3, I have to polish and submit my Chapter 4, finish my Chapter 5 then start and finish my Chapter 6.

Pagsisisi nga naman eh palaging nasa huli. Why the heck do I always postpone things until the last minute? Siguro kasi that's how I grew up lalo na nung high school. Recently, I've come to reminisce my high school life. Those were the days, huh. Not so much responsibilities. I just have to show up everyday in class and not absent myself. I, together with my barkada, sometimes play billiards even before the quarterly examinations. If you do not know the homework given, you just have to come very early the next day to copy from someone, who would be willing enough to help. High school crushes, first love, first date, first time... haha! Just having the time of my life. Why can't things go back the way they were? Why does it have to be complicated as we grow?

As I watch my youger sister play and make kulit almost all people here, I suddenly wish to be young again. I really don't like responsibilities. But facing reality, I can't escape it. I like to help my parents. I know they are tired from working and now, it's my turn to support the family.

It's really crunch time. Not only because my thesis should be "for binding" a couple of weeks from now. This is the crunch time of my life. I have to be independent whether I like it or not.
