Why I think GMA would not RESIGN as PRESIDENT: for DUMMIES

I believe that President Gloria Arroyo won't resign as chief executive of this country and I strongly agree that she will finish her term until 2010.

With all due respect to all those students and rallyists and to all opposition members calling for her ouster, what you are doing right now is not enough to stun The Palace and force The President to resign.

Let us review the EDSA 1 and EDSA 2 as an example of how two powerful leaders of our country stepped out of the Palace. Those are from two different decades but if you try to look at every details of those movement, you will see that they have a common denominator.

Here are my reasons why I think that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo would never RESIGN and why I think she will finish her term(based on EDSA 1 and EDSA 2 events) :


1. People Power is not enough - Let's admit it. Our opposition right now may have gathered the ideal number of people that calls for GMA to resign but the only significant element right now are the students(ATENEO, UP, UST, UE, DLSU)... Those were such big universities but aside from the BAYAN MUNA, AKBAYAN, KABATAAN, BAYAN and kilusang magsasaka, magbubukid, mangingisda, mamamanicure, mang-ffriendster at mangmumultiply, the only left in the workforce of the opposition are those SQUATTERS coming from MAKATI which I believe are just die-hard BINAY SUPPORTERS. Maybe JUN LOZADA may have the biggest impact in today's political and economic activities but you need force from the middle class. Jun Lozada is not enough. Forget the elite class and concentrate on the ordinary Juan deLa Cruz. It is in the middle class where the real manpower belongs. Most importantly, they are the one sick of this country.


2. The disunited Opposition - Back to the middle class, many people or I mean a lot of people may now be discontented with this administration but the problem is that no one or only a few are following the calls of the opposition for GMA's ouster. Reason? Only few believes in the kind of opposition we have right now. I remember a political saying that in politics, there are no real friends or enemies but only interests. People thinks that if ever GMA resign then that would be a much bigger problem. Who would replace GMA once she's gone? The opposition wouldn't agree with Noli De Castro because that would be hypocricy. When GMA resign, then it would be a war between Noli against Loren against Ping against JDV and even against Joseph Estrada. That is what politics in our country is all about. The opposition does not have a proper and working machinery.


3. Military. Period - I told you a while ago that this is based on what had transpired during EDSA 1 and 2 and admit it or not but I strongly believe that the Military is the most significant factor in ousting a President. Enrile and Ramos in EDSA 1 plus the historical jump. Angelo Reyes in EDSA 2. Perfect cinematography isn't it? Those who think that Trillanes is a modern hero is an idiot. You need big names in military other than Honasan, Querubin and Lim. Those three were "has-beens". It's now an Esperon, Palparan and Barias country in the battlefield and as long as you don't have any strong military support, then all your dreams of ousting Gloria is just a wild imagination.


I am not on the protagonist or the antagonist but admit that today is not the time. Don't put the country in another People Power because the world won't forgive another EDSA. That would mean that we are in a nuthouse. What we must do right now is put it in the proper forum and wait for the 2010 election and choose the best person to lead this country. For now, just admit the fact that you can't win against GMA.

been there/ done that

My heart is not broken. It's totally wrecked.

This time, I'm really clueless if it's only my mind that is giving me the lasting effect of how hard and how bitter it is to swallow every word and every message she's telling me every moment now that I'm looking for explanations. And if I reminisce all those memories I've had with the girl I'm trying to forget(maybe), it just leave me again with questions.

People always tease me now that I am bitter with what happened. Is it bitterness? Is that what you call a man who's been in a relationship for a year and a half with a girl whom he thought he's spending the rest of his life with? Bitterness I think is a right of every person in the same situation as mine who just doesn't seem to have "MOVING ON" in his vocabulary. Is "moving-on" a post-requisite to a break-up?

It may be those memories that keeps haunting me every day and every time that I sleep but I know that those were not plain memories. Those were things I've earned and kept while we were together but for now you blew them all away.

You may have your own reason for whatever you may want to call it this time but can't you just think of those times we've spent with each other? I know I've never been perfect nor your ideal man but you know how hard and badly I've tried.

Sometimes life would just really fucked us up with things that made you lackluster in the middle of a dull event and then rejuvenated at the end but that would also be the time that you would know that letting go or what you call as saying goodbye is imminent.

As to my case, everything has just been flowing until I noticed that it's too late to hold on to your grip.

This post is obviously for you because this is what you wanted from the start. I think everything is just really all because of you. For all these times, you were the reason of everything to me. My strength and my weakness is all because of what you showed me from the start. You give me the kind of life that I could only imagine in my dreams before. It's totally new to me when you came into my life. And I think what you've done to me this time is also totally new to my spirit. I know I've been in this kind of situation before and done all these things in the past but I want you to know that what you did to me this time is unexplainable. I'm clueless in all your actions today.

I have so many questions that are left unanswered this time. I have so many wishes in my life that I can only keep this time. I have so many dreams for us. But I know everything is over and I know that I can't have you back.

So maybe for now, I leave you with yourself free from all those responsibilities you've had with me but damn you know how much I have loved you and that love would never vanish.

You caused me so much pain and it's hard for me to say goodbye this time. I just hope you'll be fine without me.

Mending

Here is a lyrics of a song that really describes who am I at this very moment of my life. Sometimes its true that life fucked us up.
Here I am alone in this empty room
And let my mind just fly you to the end
Thoughts of you still linger in my memory
Wondering why my life is not that fair
I could still recall
Those memories of you
The joy and all your laughter
The love that we've been through
Oh, I can't believe you're gone
Oh, no
Talkin' to myself for no reasons I could find
Findin' out why everything went wrong
Tears falling down my cheeks thatI've been trying to hold
I doesn't know if I could still go on
I wanted you to stay
The tears begin to show
You said you cared for me
But then you had to go
And now I know you're gone
But I don't want to remember
The things (we used to do/that we've beenThrough)
And all the things that remind me of you
I don't want to hear the songs
The songs we used to sing
'coz I don't wanna feel the pain in my heart
I just can't believe you're gone
No, no...
I don't wanna feel
Yeah, I don't wanna feel the pain in my heart
I don't wanna feel, don't know what went wrong
Oohh...

When it Matters Most


They blew Game 6...


(26-point lead of Red Bull)

but of course...



they knew what to do in a game that really matters most...
and the series with the bald coach slash vice governor is over.

ending the hard fought battle with an 83-71 Game 7 thriller.



And I wish Yeng Guiao to do his job well in Pampanga...

now that the season for him is over.




For now, it all boils down to another 7 Game Series.

but this time...

with the youthful Sta. Lucia Team...


It's going to be an intense series for sure...
but we're going to teach the rookies who's the boss...


and I disagree with the 1-2 Punch moniker to Kerby and James...


Because this time...

its the Triumvirate of James, Kerby and Pingris that will do the damage.





With the PBA Finals set to start Friday, I'm predicting a 4-1 series victory of Purefoods


but of course...

a sweet sweep is always pleasing.

Barack Can

I am really not fond of Barack Obama...
and never had I imagined him sitting there in the Oval Office someday...

but this video is really one of the best political campaign video I've ever seen so far...




Yes We Can...




Yes We Can...


make election here in our own little country
peaceful,
honest
and hopefully - automated.

but that is...

if we would have a better and intelligent electorate...



I'm not campaigning for Barack Obama to win in the U.S. election...
but I hope in 2010 we'll have one like him...

Walk the Walk



I was in Cavite yesterday
whenI missed the big news fresh from L.A.




Senyor Pau Gasol of Espanya is now a LAKER.




I saw in front of my eyes how Purefoods blew Game 4 against Red Bull.
It's not a good news.


But this one about Gasol and Kobe Bryant in one team is surely a bang.


...and of course don't forget that Mr. Andrew Bynum

will soon be back from injury...

...and when that time comes, Andrew, Lamar, Kobe and Pau

could be the next definition of an NBA Trophy.




Get the Larry O'Brien back to L.A.
... and fuck the Celtics

Here's a Dagger


...and two games away
