I am fed up of all the things that I see and hear around me. It is rather sickening and disheartening to see in the news daily our country bruised and scarred by heartless fellow-Filipinos who only cared for no one but themselves. To be frank, I stopped watching TV lately because it’s the same old story (except for basketball and some favorite teleseryes, hehe). I may sound like a disappointed crap but it’s the truth. In my undergrad, the word “politics” is like a trash. I had enough of it for four, long years. I sometimes ask myself why I chose it as my major field. I can’t seem to have enough, coz I took some units in the Graduate School, still dealing with politics, sigh! I was kind of idealistic when I was a lot younger. I wanted to be a catalyst for change. But I realized, it isn’t that easy to achieve. I know I may rant and rant my entire life but this effort could be futile.

To be honest, since I left Philippines almost 3 yrs ago (I go back there every year) I didn’t watch any Filipino channels at all. I stopped reading news about how our country is falling apart. It’s disheartening and sad. I just hope that all these crap will be over and our country will be saved.
Great writing skills :] well done.

@ MUMMY SHENG: Thanks so much for the kind words Mummy Sheng! Yeah, it’s indeed very painful. I am just aware and concerned of what is happening in my surroundings eventhough I watch less of the news lately. I am still hoping that we can lift this country from the mire our traditional politicians have sunk us into.

@ TWINKLETOE: So do I, Twinks. We can still save our country. However we should never resort to violence. Because violence begets violence. If we start on that slippery slide, it can spiral out of control into “barbarism”.
