Pinoy nga naman :The Flip'inos

The Ninoy pose. Noynoy Aquino is expected to
live up to his parents' honor and legacy to the country.

"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do." ------- Dale Carnegie

I had a status post on Facebook that goes like "I'm fine with Noynoy, but I didn't vote for him". Upon contemplating on what I have just said I think I should rephrase my statement to: I didn't vote for Noynoy but I'm fine with him.

And upon hearing and reading comments (and rantings) on Noynoy's convincing victory, I'm just so disappointed. I am so disappointed with these Filipinos who are so unhappy with the result of this election. Why don't you just move on and accept the will of the people.

Like I said I didn't vote for Noynoy, but more than 13 million Filipinos did. And you can't rant about and give sore comments like "ang bobo ng mga pinoy". F*ck you! You're the kind of Filipno that Jose Rizal pertained as "higit pa ang amoy sa mabahong isda". You're the very kind of people that went on to EDSA to trounce former president ERAP which in result ended in a worse situation for our nation. Let me make this clear, I'm not an ERAP supporter, but neither am I a detractor. I'm just so exasperated with the ignorance of Filipinos that time to overreact and ruin EDSA revolution's true essence by trying to imitate or trying to get the feel of the original EDSA revolt in 1986. Now what after ERAP, you got GMA. It's like coming out the frying pan and ending up into the fire. And as majority of the nation disgusts her, I can only sigh and say "Kasalanan niyo yan". But in all fairness to GMA, she had also done some good to our nation.

History repeats itself. After having the most convincing and probably the most stain-free elections in the history of the Philippines, why do we have these nasty and unhappy people complaining of the results. Maybe we really can't take it away. It's human nature. Just what the Rolling Stones say, we can't get no satisfaction.

As the Filipinos have already spoken, let's help our incoming president in propelling this nation to progress. For chrissake it's time for a change. And that change starts with us. God bless the Philippines.

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." ------ Barack Obama

P.S.
I voted for Gibo and Binay.

First Time

I was really on a roll this past weekend (Monday-May10 included) as I have a lot of first time experiences.

Friday.5.7.10

Gang: Sales and Marketing Department. Destination: Enchanted Kingdom. Oh yeah it was my first time. Our department was treated with this getaway by the management as we showed good sales report on the first quarter of this year. One thing that my mates and I have in common is that we all love and enjoy going on a trip.

All hell break loose as we immediately tried one of the daredeviliest rides of the park, Anchors Away. I really felt that ride to be dangerous. We were swinged 90˚ which make my ass detach from the seat every time we're up on the air. Thank God I was able to survive that ride.

That made me bolder to try other rides like the Space Shuttle. In fact, I've tried it twice.

I hope to be back in EK within this month only with a different gang.

Still dazed from a hilarious anchors away ride.

Post EK. Gatorade and Pepsi had come in very handy.

Rialto. Though it was "corny", at least we
enjoyed the 15-minute kiddie movie.

Ganged on the Wizard. Others were irritably waiting
for us to finish our turn w/ the Wizard.

The Team. Posing and taking rest.

This is what we did while waiting for the others
who were at the souvenir shop.

Trying to imitate a scene from a movie I forgot the title.

Sunday.5.9.10

After accompanying my cousin and "wowa" to the bus station, I was not ready to bare the heat of staying at home. So I decided to wander the Araneta Center. I've surveyed Mogwai which I long to go to for a long time. One of these weekends I hope to be able

to go there.

When I was already feeling hopeless of finding a good place to hang out at the moment, I noticed a long line at the Big Dome. So the fuss is about the most popular basketball squad in town, Barangay Ginebra Kings. Ginebra and B-Meg Derby Ace (formerly Purefoods) will clash in the second game of this conference's regular games. So I decided to watch the game. This is my first time to watch a PBA game live at the Big Dome. I was treated with two exciting games. The first game between Air 21 and Rain or Shine couldn't be better as it was settled in overtime period. Rain or Shine won the game 106-102.

The second game was a bit disappointing as Ginebra bows to B-Meg. Obviously I was routing for Ginebra. I also failed to hear and chant with the ever popular "Ginebra, Ginebra!" chant. The game ended with a 95-82 score in favor of B-Meg.

Overall, it was still worth it and a good first time experience. I wasn't able to take a picture though because my phone's battery is dead..

Monday.5.10.10

To wrap up my first time experiences this weekend, I voted for the first time and as we already all know, it was the first automated election not only in the Philippines but in south east Asia region.

In contrast to the TV reports I've watched before I went to my precinct, I voted in a very hassle-free manner. I was very glad to practice my right and exercise my responsibility to vote. Though my pick for presidency and mayoralty didn't win, it's okay. I'm good with the result unlike those losers who rant about the results.

Voted. My vote's for Gibo and Binay.
