bury me in this dress

A few days ago, a psychiatric report on Senator Benigno Aquino III started circulating on the internet. The report, which was dated February 10, 1996, stated that the young Aquino was having depression and disassociation. It also indicated that he experimented with Marijuana and other pills. The report violates doctor-patient confidentiality. Regardless, the document has been proven to be fake.

Even if Senator Aquino had depression, he doesn’t have it anymore. And in case he does, so what? I have depression and I live normally. My mental faculties are intact. I can make sound decisions. The bottom-line is I can still function.

The black propaganda allegedly masterminded by the Nationalista Party is so rotten and I take this personally. They are perpetuating the myth that people who seek psychiatric help are nut-jobs. What they did has resulted to more stigma against Filipinos suffering from depression and other mental health problems. It’s like we’re back in the dark ages. Psychiatry and psychology are more progressive now when it comes to diagnoses and treatments that maybe the person sitting next to you has a mental problem but you are not aware of it because the treatment he’s taking is working.

That’s what we strive for, a life of normalcy. So I have to stand up against this abominable act, all for the sake of politics, because this has done more damage than they are even aware of!

Maybe I should form a party-list to defend people suffering from mental disorders.

Did you guys catch the premiere of the music video for Noynoy Aquino? I waited patiently for it and I was grinning the entire time I was watching it. I find it very classy, subtle, and well produced. For now, the music video will only be shown once a day due to budget constraints. If you missed it, here is the video.

I wonder who came up with this. I just learned that this isn’t an official commercial but a fan-made one. It won’t be shown on tv but was donated for web campaigns

etonAPOtalaga!

I was there! In fact, I liveblogged and livetweeted the event. The concert started at 7:30 PM and only half the capacity of UP Theater was filled. I was disappointed but after 30 minutes or so, the seats were almost full. I and Marck had our own table and chairs on the right side of the theater so we were kind of detached from the event. Still, there were times when I sang and clapped and cheered. I really had fun. Of course, the highlight for me is seeing Noynoy. I squealed when he entered the theater. *blush*

After the concert, I was hesitant to approach Noy but Phoebe dragged me. I was too shy to have our photo taken so I just took one of him and Phoebe. I had a picture with Mar Roxas though. Hrhrhrhr. I’m sure there will be other opportunities for photos but right now, I am content with just seeing Noy. *blush*

Another blessing I received, Noy began following me on Twitter. I have to thank Helga, Sparks, Elena, and Ederic for tweeting that he should follow me. I don’t know if it’s really him but I don’t care much. I’m just really happy.

Vote Noynoy for President!!!!!!

Like my dear dear Noynoy, I listen to the clamor of the people. So here is “our photo.” Please support, Noynoy and vote for him as President.
