It's hard to be me. Hard to keep up with myself and my daily procrastinations that I know would very well lead to a crappy future (according to my standards).

It starts today. I'll be serious, starting today. Godbless to all.

 

The Storm Peping barely scratched MM. 

People were just too paranoid. Before, they also had a very composed disposition to storms, but seeing one's TVs, Apple Macbook laptops and cars floating around, for some their babies and kids, I can't really "blame" them for being paranoid. 

I had a similar tragic experience when I saw my father around 3 meters away, shot in the head in front of me. To this day, I'm f*cking paranoid whenever there's some suspicious character around with a gun. 

The point is, whatever's happening now, it's a natural reaction. So, for those reading this blog, I know I'm evil, but if you want to make business, NOW is the best time. I encourage you to think of something that is profitable but at the same time HELPFUL for us as a nation to prevent disasters so that our happy lives before could be brought back. (inflatable salbabidas? anyone?)

ACTUALLY, yung point lang neto simple. 

I went yesterday to Trinoma. 7pm pa lang sarado na mga shops. I'm so pissed. I hope next storm won't force stores to shut down due to panic. Read your pag-asa graph well pls. 

The difference between those who panic and those who don't is... WE HAVE been reading the pag-asa graph even before Ondoy! hahaha. I've seen larger storms than Peping approach our country and they just passed through.

The Irony of It

It's now October 2009. Many historical experiences have already shaped the Philippines from Rizal's execution to the ousting of Estrada. Our lives are what they are today because of this so called history. This History had cunningly shaped our lives over a period of time.

However, what saddens me is whenever we don't learn from history to improve our lives. 

Fine, we can't blame the government for Ondoy.

But guess what, we had strong storms nearly equal to Ondoy 40 years ago. How come we were so complacent? So does that mean that we're not going to prepare for another 40 years since Ondoy storms aren't usual? 

Fine, we can't blame the people for Ondoy.

But guess what, every freaking school and newspaper had already, in one way or another, promoted waste segregation, proper disposal, etc. Plastics clogging sewers, not really the governments fault ... all their thrashes are abroad. 

Global warming had even been discussed for so many times. There are even films about it!

Now, how come we weren't prepared?

I don't think we can say "It's unexpected, no one's to blame." I believe that there's someone to blame, and unless we realize this, we're forever going to become a 3rd world country.

The Phrase "We can't blame" is the greatest hindrance our country will ever have.

We SHOULD blame.

But there is a right way to BLAME. Get it? It's not always right to point at the gov't for everything. That's stupid blaming. BLAMING requires investigation, and an intellectual activity of the mind. I believe that Blame is the evil twin of responsibility. Without one, the other won't exist. Without anyone to blame, does it mean no one is responsible? 

Furthermore, BLAMING shouldn't just translate to words but into action. 

After you blame either yourself or the government or whoever you think is responsible, do something about it either directly or indirectly. Blaming Right means being aware. Do Something. See? Blaming isn't a bad thing really, it's just that people have such a limited mindset that blaming is always negative. 

In the end, BLAMING means RESPONSIBILITY. That is, when you BLAME, you are RESPONSIBLE to do something about it. If not, then, you simply, suck.

 

 

 

 

Well, I gave some thought to it. Guess what, I'm now on twitter. But, I'm using a codename. I decided I'd contain my trail of thoughts first before I wreak havoc. Anyway, much luck

It's been tiring recently. And to be honest, I'm tired.

 

I'm tired because I feel that I have so much to learn. I'm tired because I feel that I'm behind most people.

The department that I'm in, stressful. But they're the best lot of people in DBP. From the top to the bottom (which is me). haha
