three important things

It has been a long weekend for me. And i do not have to go to work early tom since i'll be in night shift so yeah. Here are three important things I have learned:

1.) Documents needed for legal purposes. I was able to engage actively in one of these this weekend.
2.) I learned how to replace a flat tire. I didn't have to do this. I watched how it is done so I'd learn from it.
3.) I re-learned how fortunate I am to have such a wondeful family and group of friends. Love you all! :)

This is quite a feat already for me. :)

Life's Pleasures

I have been visiting the Ayala Triangle Park quite often the past couple of weeks. I started a routine during early morning weekends wherein I go to the park to jog and walk around. I believe it would be a good way of jumpstarting my journey to becoming healthy. I realized how bad I have been to my body and I want to live longer so I'm making a couple of measures in trying to ensure that.

I am starting to appreciate a lot of things that I have not appreciated before. I enjoy going to parks and seashores to see the beauty of nature. There is something about these things that make me happy. In addition to these, I am having fun looking at the mere sight of the sunset or driving around Fort. I also enjoy listening to the radio (it is better than listening to your ipod, trust me!). I dunno what brought this about. I'm normally more inclined into the night life filled with booze and all the other stuff that comes with it. I still enjoy these things but I am starting to like other things as well-things I never paid any attention to.

I dunno if this has something to do with maturity or anything but I am liking this kind of change. I remember what my PE prof said to us during college: "When you work out, the first sip of water you take tastes better than the finest wine available. You would really see that it brings life's pleasure into its simplest form."

It is true. When you find enjoyment in the simple things in life, you get to have fun and you accumulate more dough in your pocket. :)

If only we were a nation whose culture is based on meritocracy

Ok, so I have been blogging a lot about myself which is not necessarily a bad thing considering the fact that this IS MY BLOG. But anyway, I figured I should spend some time talking about Philippine politics for a second.

My interest towards the coming elections is substantially lower than anybody else's because they ran out of forms when I was trying to register thereby forfeiting my right to suffrage this year. So I found it quite unnecessary to devote much of my time if I am not going to vote anyway.

However, as the election draws nearer, I find it an obligation to at least think of who I want to lead our country. The executive powers, priviliges and responsibilities are quite magnanimous (for lack of a better term that expresses huge) so I think it is a subject worth thinking about. It pains me that Gordon and Gibo are not in the frontline of winning the elections. You look at these two individuals and see what they have done and what they are capable of doing; you feel bad that they are not being talked about as much as you would hope. To me, Gibo would make the best president and Gordon would be a nice alternative. But as my mom says, they are the right men in the wrong parties.

Do not get me started on the Noynoy-Villar race. I do not like either but if they are the only candidates I would go for Noynoy.

If I was registered I would go for Gibo-Hands Down!

Sadly, our country does not base on merit as much as it does on popularity so I am really guessing that the election will boil down to the much talked about Villar and Noynoy competition...


:/



I rest my case.
