How Shopping helped me...

Well it started with an impulse to buy clothes. I've been wanting to do this since i got the "moolah" from my wonderful aunts but it took a back seat due to PRC stuff. And now I finally did it! I missed spending money! i missed trying out clothes! I missed the mall! I feel like a recharged battery! --the comparison sucks but wth, feel really good. xoxx

dear Country

I can't say I cared too much when news spread about the hostage taking at Quirino Grandstand. Nor will I be a hypocrite and lie that i cared about Miss Venus somebody in a beauty pageant. I am a filipino citizen, yes. But I'm also a hurt, confused individual who may or may not graduate in a c(o)urse that she mistakenly thought as "easy".

The Philippines has been under a lot of strain, as I have been, as millions of other youth in the world right now. That news about the hostage crisis, the media circus, the cringe-worthy aftermath that made us popular (or should i say,notorious) to the world, was just news at that moment, that which will then become history. What made me care about it was the way we, Filipinos, rode in the circus. We are the ones who are making fools of ourselves. What could have been conducted with dignity became a comedy show instead, with dire repercussions to our dignity as a filipino nation. This is how the world will see us now. This is how far we've gone under. This is how far we must take back of what we have lost. Rebuild and unite as a country to protect our own, to survive together, not to trample on those who have already fallen.
