Quick Fix

i've already given both lasalle and other people the time to feast on my last blog entry. 19 comments. that was a record for this blog. that and the sudden outpour of messages on my tagboard only means one thing: the trick to attract people to visit your blog is to bash other schools. that could never fail. somewhere, somehow, someone would always buy it. school bashing is always such a hot topic among loyalists. whether the subject of argument is stupid or not; in this case the former. and for such a stupid thing, expect even the stupidest retorts. all for the sake of staying true to their alma mater.

my encounter with the fray's how to save a life and the rest of their beautiful music was by accident and therefore, unexpected. a friend couldn't download how to save one time so as a favor, i did, for her. it wasnt until several days after that i listened to what i downloaded for her. the band serves as a breather from the already saturated alternative genre. they sound good and fresh and are catchy. some
alternative music, while already lighter than rock, could still sound noisy and irritating to the ears. this band doesn't. so listen to them, highly recommended.

GMA's SONA was the longest she's given. nevermind the word count; it was just the longest. according to gma 7's debate last night, on average, she's able to accomplish 92% of her plans. not bad for a president who's been incessantly plagued and haunted by her own doings. and that's one reason i'm still sticking with her and her corrupt
administration- her competence to execute, even the most unpopular of decisions. i still haven't found the better alternative. i am not really swayed by the countless people who just whine day and night how they don't feel their lives are getting any better, that their government is not working on their yearnings, that GMA must be replaced by someone who 'truly' cares for them. (bring back to life FPJ, you say?)

both these people and the opposition make me laugh. all they blab about is getting better. i dont laugh at them per se, but at what they want to happen and how SOOON they want it to happen. they're looking for a QUICK FIX. or a more hopeful term, miracle. sadly, there ain't none of that for their problems. imagine how many people live in this country and what part of that population seeks to be 'blessed'. and they all want to be a tad better off overnight. fine, over 2 nights. people, it doesn't work like that. you are asking the government to spend all the collected money on you. it takes a little waiting and more wanting. it hurts but that's how it is. GMA might have laid down a thousand and one promises in her last, hour-long SONA. they sound all sweet and nice.

and i know you're already condemning her for again a long list of projects that don't include you Juan or Juanita. and by now you're thinking, what do i get from the gazillion infrastructure projects? NADA! well well, just wait until you pass by one of the roads connecting your town to where you're headed and see how convenient it
has become for you and your family.

and you want the price of oil to be brought down? protest on iran, iraq and the other middle east countries for waging war on each other! even the US for being such an epal! blame israel and hezbollah too! the government is just following the dictates of the world market and the stupidities of the other warfreaks! government is not to be blame, at least not completely.

the government is working. but don't forget it is only composed of limited human beings. so please, don't ask for a quick fix. only He can do that. so just stay hopeful.

and just hush people, hush.
