is your candidate MAD?

 I still do not have a list of 12 people whom i will vote for as senators this coming May 14. i haven’t really checked out profiles and records, for me to really know who among these aspirants are worth my precious vote. There are some very good people at the present senate and i’m actually content with all of them. Somehow i do not trust a lot of the candidates. I’m neither for the admin or opposition parties. I hate it when they bicker. I wish these people will just focus on letting us know why they’re worth our votes instead of hurling accusations and trying to discredit each other. I do not like our president, but i just find it disgusting that the opposition’s main objective once majority of them are seated is to impeach her. I mean, what the fuck. Like another impeachment or people power can ever do anything to improve our situation.

Meanwhile, there are lots of dubious characters in the admin party. It’s not to say that the people from the opposition are saints. In fact a lot of them are purely lip service lang. Being an eloquent speaker will make one a good lawyer, maybe, but not a good public servant. 
 

I wonder if these candidates can come up with an honest, believable, sincere and worthy response when, during one of their campaigns, somebody pulls them aside and asks them “why should i vote for you?”. I really want to know. Because a good friend actually did ask that, to a supposed “sure winner”, who banks in his eloquence. I was actually quite impressed by this person before, i thought he was good. But one thorough check at his background, at his supposed good track record, i realized he’s all just hot air and a lot of crap.

Anyway, back to my friend’s story. When she asked that, all the senatoriable did was smile at her and make pa-cute! My friend was so disgusted that hours after that, she sent a text message to everyone about it, asking them to think twice if they’re planning to vote for him. With a funny/mean punchline: “buti sana if he’s actually cute, feeling lang nya guapo sya! Kamukha nya kaya yung nasa MAD magazine noh!”
 

HAHAHA! Ohkay, well i wouldn’t name the poop senatoriable but if you can figure out who looks like Mr. MAD, maybe you’ll know

 

good news from my old email

I was checking my old email address last night when i chanced upon this announcement sent on Feb 24 by my good friend and fellow Matrix fangirl Amarie. Apparently she has given birth to her 2^nd child, another girl last feb 17 at St. Luke’s Medical Center in QC! I was so surprised because i didn’t even know she’s already here. She and her hubby Vicvic has been based in Hong Kong for the past couple of years, and we rarely hear from her. We, being our other friend/fellow fangirl Sabine, who’s in the country and in the same city as i (and fellow Thomasian at that! Yay!) though we never get to see each other much cos we’re both very busy. Oh my, it seems like yesterday, when the three of us would exchange emails or chat or read each other’s blogs, and meet each other regularly for dinner and movie. I even used to sleep over at Ams and Sab’s. Years have passed, we all became busy with studies, had new things to obsess about (well, we’re fangirls!) but it’s always nice to know that these things don’t really matter. When we all meet again, which i hope happens real soon – i know it’s going to be just like the old times. Speaking of meeting, goodness, i have wanted to hang out with Sabine for the longest time but my scheduel sucks! Hopefully before june.

By the way, Amarie’s new lil angel is named Meagan Victoria (her first is the pretty Madeleine) – a name which i just love cos i’ve always loved the name Victoria. I thought the name sounds really feminine, and yet has some edge to it. I have five friends named Victoria – two Maria Victoria’s, one Victoria Clair, one Ana Victoria, and lastly one Teresita Victoria.

Much as i love the name though, i don’t think it suits me. I’m really quite better off with my given name, as it is as weird as i am. Tee hee.

Anyway, congrats to proud parents Ams and Vicvic and a warm welcome to Meagan Victoria1

and here’s hoping i’d see my lovely fangirls, aka angels again!
