Okay. So I’ve read the transcript of PGMA’s speech and watched the replay of the event. I know diddly-squat about parliamentary and federalism which PGMA proposed for the the Philippines to adapt but this one I know. Democracy has stopped working for the Philippines decades ago. Just look at the state this country is in. The poverty is so widespread and is still increasing, candidates play dirty during elections, polititians cannot be trusted anymore and this includes the President, and this list could go on and on. It is easy to be corrupt in the Philippine democracy and as politicians come and go, the decay of the country continues. I think now is the time for the charter change because if not now, then when? This country needs a radical change immediately and just waiting for a calmer period might spoil the urge. You can say that I somehow agree with what the President said because I agree with the need for changes. However, I do not agree with the said accomplishments of the current Presidency because they barely made a ripple.

I was waiting for the SONA all day but I was just too sleepy and nodded off a few minutes before it started. I’m waiting for the news to rerun it but, as I heard from ANC, people found it short and pretty uneventful.

My sleep was quite pleasant today. Quite a change from the other sleeps this week. I didn’t wake up feeling agitated at all. I also didn’t have weird dreams. I didn’t take Melatonin so I know that’s why. Melatonin is totally crap but I can’t afford Stilnox. I just have to just deal with it.

I made reservations for me and Jenny to watch the Sunday Live A.I.D.S. show. I can’t wait! I hope it lives up to my expectations. I’m sure my orgmates worked hard on the show but sometimes the jokes just bombed.

Crappy entry but I’m restless. So I’ll stop.

boing boing featured a site about how the ratio of iTunes purchase is 21 to an iPOD. The site posed a rhetorical question “where does all the music come from?” Oh come on! Think! Ipod owners have CD collections. I for one have hundreds of CDs which I painstakenly convert to MP3s just to transfer them to my Pod. As of this time, I have barely converted 1/3 of my collection. I live Downhill Battle’s mission but their site fails to account the existing music collection of iPOD owners.

i hate to admit this but sometimes i miss this certain friend of mine. i won’t mention her name here because i want to protect our privacy but we’ve been friends since high school but the friendship ended three years ago. we used to be really close, like talk on the phone every night close. i just miss the long talks about guys, other people, etc. i also miss her because we have (had?) so much in common. i tried to salvage our friendship twice but thinking about it now, i wasn’t really sincere then. i just wanted all the gossip and annoyance to stop. maybe that’s why the “reconcillation” didn’t work. but now i want to be friends with her again. i really do. i miss the countless good times. but i don’t really know how to approach her and i don’t think she wants me as a friend anymore. she has a new life, new set of friends, and i don’t fit in that picture. it’s such a shame.
