thanks to edsa...
today, i am free to go wherever i want, free to do whatever i wish to...as long as i don't violate the law. i salute the filipino for their bravery in fighting against a tyrant many years ago. i was too young to understand things in 1986; i was just a carefree kid who knew nothing but playing and sesame street. i only learned about edsa at school and read about it in the papers.
now i'm 23, a thinking citizen (i'd like to think i am one) who is more aware of what's happening to the country. that's why despite the lousy salary and the long working hours, i chose a career in government service...somehow, i want to contribute something, even in little ways. i really doubt if people really benefit from the kind of work that i do now but i do hope that some of it trickles down to them.
ninoy aquino said many years ago, "the filipino is worth dying for". oh, i don't know; that was then and this is now...i don't think we have learned from the past; we are on the verge of electing brainless national leaders and i just don't see why i should die for all of these people. just goes to show how we, as a people, had deteriorated throughout the years...
thanks to edsa...
i didn't have to go to work yesterday!!! yahoo!! i had a nice whole day of rest but not very nice because it was so warm yesterday. i couldn't take a nap so i just finished "memoirs of a geisha", which i was reading for the nth time.
it was ash wednesday yesterday so i went to church with pau and aya. it was a good thing none of the adults at home went with us; the church was jam-packed, standing-room-only (sro) and it was a hot night too. pau got fidgety some 15 minutes into the mass; it was a miracle she didn't ask us to go home early.
i was stupid...
to think that i can just easily forget about mr. children. whew! sakurai-san brought me back to earth with "tenohira". so now i'm confused; i have so many songs to memorize until the next karaoke day!!! nyahaha! so what will it be: l'arc~en~ciel's "anata" or "driver's high", gackt's "decemer love" or "last song"...of course, i just have to sing amuro namie's "wishing on the same star"! and by that time, i hope i can sing glay's "toki no shizuku" without slurring on the words too much. not to forget smap too!! i cannot sing "lion heart" again...i sang that in osaka. maybe i'll go for "sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana" instead. woohoo! so many songs i want to sing...i hope i'll be courageous enough to actually take the mike and sing in front of everybody. ^^;;
speaking of karaoke...
the girl who won the open division of the nihongo speech contest last saturday said that "karaoke will change the world". nice topic, eh? nice singing voice, too. so she won. predictably. no one was at par with her, i'm sorry to say.
but what made me happier was that joy-san won in the beginner's division...also predictably, hehe. everyone from the nihongo center gave her a standing ovation and we were all very happy that she did it. unfortunately, when she goes to japan (that's the prize), she cannot meet up with corrie-sensei because...
corrie-sensei is here!!
yahoo! i just found out last saturday but i haven't talked to her since. gigi-san still hasn't sent me her cellphone number so i can't send her a message or call her. i really can't wait to see her; she'll be here until december and i heard she's going to have a baby boy. grace is going to have a baby girl...that's really cute!
that's really freaky...
lots of people i know are either pregnant or just gave birth...scary. all at the same time?? what's up with that?? just don't count me in, ok?? no plans yet, not in 10 years or so...
