February 25th

Nah, today is the 25th, some say 22nd anniversary of EDSA People Power. whatever. what i think is that history may repeat itself with the ongoing political scenario of our land. For me, it's no more about people power, the uprising, but the events after it. Just look at what we are today, we're on seemingly the same situation. After Marcos, we have Estrada, and just as quick as we denounced and ousted Erap, we clamor for another - the ouster of GLoria. We have never really run out politically inadequate presidents nor morally consistent ones - what we have for the last decade were people who are content with the status quo - people who embrace the systemic infestation of corruption. And, so, what can we do? It seems another people power is inevitable. (BTW, My friend Che2x and I are planning to join an anti-Gloria rally, should another one be organized here in Bacolod). Here's crossing my fingers to the ouster of the president whose "I am sorry" and being prayerful are more than enough scapegoats for all the mistakes she did, and the same president who said "I am the president and no one else." Let's just see.

On a more cheerful note, I would like to congratulate my friends Janice Marie Jordan and Joshua Quijote (SU Batch 2007) for passing the December 2007 Nurses' Licensure Examination. Congratulations ninyong duha and to all passers. And to my school Silliman University College of Nursing for making it still to TOP 3 performing schools. Though, I must say, I'm a little sad that they only got 97% compared to last year's (my batch) 99%. But, hey, we were only 220+, compared to this year's 321 SU examinees. That's still an achievement because St. Louis University in Baguio City (number 1 with 99%) only had 146 examinees, while Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro with 229 out of 233 students passing the exams (98 percent). That makes it a big difference.

Go Silliman! I proud you wahaha

I just learned through CNN news that Hong Kong is being rocked by the sex scandal involving a famous actor Edison Chen. What's wrong with the world! Maybe this is the price of being famous and being naive (think about getting photos and videos while doing their private acts - that's totally weird). This damaging phenomenon swept away the many ones from Philippines to our neighboring countries together with the typhoons that visited us. Just think of all the bad scandals that has shattered many lives and has damaged many relationships.

Anyway, there's more to life than power, achievements, and problems. (Do i make sense here? LOL)
