Silent Nights

Why are you so petrified with silence?
Here...can you handle this?


Alanis asked me that question as a young man. The lyrics still hound me til now. It's so true. And like the residents of Quezon City struggling to find potable water, I am experiencing a dry spell with regards to my energy and passions.

Even Blogville has gone silent. Half the blogs I read have been so awfully quiet. I'm missing the intellectual rants and debates from comments to reply to comments. I'm missing gossip and scandal and worthless celebrity stories. I'm missing the boyfriend-crazy-girl who got her heart broken on New Years Eve-fell in love and got her heart broken again. Boyfriend shrines have turned into barren fields and even co-stalkers have lost energy. The newly-wed girl has gone busy building a family. The poet no longer writes. And even Inday had no amusing stories to tell.

Fund Raising Activities


Now there seems to be no hope of a Charter Change before the scheduled 2007 elections.
And GMA's peers successfully blocked the impeachment attempt for the second time.

I can say with 75% certainty that there will be a 2007 National Election happening in May of next year.

And so the government embarked on mysterious projects this government has been doing over the past month. Did you ever get to notice how many beautification and reconstruction/repair projects there are in Metro Manila?

There are tunnel/underpass cleaners and painters, with the giant billboard saying: "Shaw/Ayala Tunnel Rehabilitation Project" and Gloria Arroyo's face on it.

I remember I was driving on November 2 and wondered why traffic was so bad as we approached Cubao. Turned out they closed the entire Cubao tunnel for a "rehabilitation" projects.

Now I see such rehabilitation projects in JP Rizal, EDSA-Ayala, not to mention seeing some in the Ortigas Area a few weeks back.

Will the white repainting really help manage traffic in the tunnels? And will new concrete partitions (in replacement of the pink fences) make it better in Ayala? I don't know.

But what I do know is that as they are going about these rehabilitation projects, driving to and from Makati has become and will continue to be more painful for motorists like me.

Oops I did it Again

I invested time and energy and emotion
And this vicious cycle starts again
I have one unbendable criteria, just one
We need to share the same faith
In a country where majority of the people are Catholics,
Why is that so hard?

And why find out just now?
How could I be so careless?

Is it, really?


Sometimes,
no matter how much you love someone
that person cant just love you back the same way.

And being with the person who doesnt love you back
is way lonelier than being alone
