To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.
-Calvin

The street was almost empty when I went to work today. Strange for a saturday night in Manila. They say that an empty street is the most dangerous. Is there a looming danger?

State of Emergency while commemorating EDSA 1. Ironic or incidental?

I was surprised by a friend's text message yesterday when she jokingly said, "Nakauwi ka na ba from work? Wag kang lalabas, baka mapagkamalan kang kaaway. State of emergency ngayon". I automatically thought that this could be because of the rumors of coup attempt. A prelude to Martial Law? Is the President provoking the people to go out the streets of EDSA again?

To be honest, I wanna see another EDSA uprising but then again I think it's going to be irrelevant if there is no upright and competent new leader that will be instituted. Political system is a mess. Popularity is the priority of the politicians. Sometimes it's hard to trust their intensions when they come up with suggestions for the country.

A complete political and cultural overhaul is the best solution that I can think of and its a long shot. The situation, in my own narrow perspective, is helpless, almost hopeless. Another Manny Pacquiao victory to unite the Filipino people?

I'm upset. At least the traffic's not heavy.

I'm a man who's always been a kid. Been through quite a lot at 23 so I'm calling myself a "man" now -- a better and a more mature chap.

I hate growing old, though now I'm trying to accept that there are some things that are inevitable.

I spell fun with a capital F. I always want to initiate one and wants everybody to enjoy it and I also know how to make one for my self. It was just lately that I discovered that I am friendly. I despise the dull and the boring. I love variety and adventure which usually bring me trouble. I may appear shallow and I don't blame people if they may call me one.

Just like your typical sanguine-melancholic, I have my deep and serious side and I'm afraid to show it because people may not like it. I can be serious if the situation demands it but I always wanted to make things as light as possible. I'm a cry-baby so if I can avoid it, I break the ice.

What I like about myself is I can easily get over with tough situations and accept things easily if I figured that I can do nothing to change it. Not that I easily give up. God's grace must have taught me a lot about letting go and solely depending on Him. Same grace that gives me the assurance that I'm forgiven and saved.

Im resilient like the bamboo, yeah, your typical Pinoy. I'm a people person, a people-pleaser which is both an asset and a liability. I value my relationships a lot. I will not spare my time for a good talk with a friend. Conversations, I believe, are very important.

I'm not afraid to err once in a while. I even take it like a medicine. Most of my greatest learnings were from the mistakes I committed. As a text message from my buddy puts it, "the more difficult the search, the greater oppurtunity to learn along the way".

A caution though, I'm the last person you wanna mess up with...

(a little suspense on that part...)

...because you're not gonna get anything from me. Peace loving person here, buddy.
