Even if She's Invincible
WE WERE asked who our real life leaders are - one of my colleagues said he admired Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. There were different reactions on this answer. None was exactly violent but unlike the other answers, this one invited a whole new discussion.
My colleague described GMA as a working president. She practically ignored the issues thrown unto her because she's focused on the country's welfare. Well.. I don't like her. I had to say that. She ignored the issues because she doesn't care about the country's welfare. If she did... she could have taken a dignified exit the time she apologized about the Hello Garci Scandal. She's invincible... that thing I had to stress. She still has the position despite the illegitimacy issue, journalist and activist killings plus this loud ZTE-NBN Deal.
The question was always like "Who will replace her if she gets ousted?"
Ahh.. Of course GMA has foreseen this - that's why she picked Noli De Castro to be her Vice President. I am now acknowledging this as a very clever political move.
The people won't consider him to be the next Philippine Idle, that's why many are apprehensive in supporting the actions against GMA because of fear. Fear in the rule of idiocy if not anarchy.
Many are already disillusioned over the concept of People Power. "It has been abused", my colleague from the Software training said. "It will happen again and again and we will never get contented".
I may agree with that. It's an intelligent hypothesis but what we really have to deal right now is that it is immoral to allow someone to abuse us.
I agree that removing GMA is not the answer. Removing an unfit president is not the SOLE answer. It's just one step from the thousands. So let's start walking.

My Hypochondriac Trip
I got back home last 8th of March and I'm leaving again tomorrow. I haven't done much. I thought it's gonna be a busy week.
Although most of the days, I was at home.. idle - Monday and Thursday were really busy days.
Last Monday, I was able to see my two friends. Marmaee is already 8 months pregnant but she went to Jackie's house with me and there I saw little Jacob. Jacob is Jackie's one month old baby. It felt weird but I have to say it was also amazing that we've already come this far - or them, if I must say. We've known each other since our elementary days and now they're building a new generation. Time flies indeed (and I'm having a headache right now).
Last Tuesday, I went to see an OB Gyne in the morning, and found out I don't seem to have cancer so yey! (Alhamdulillah).. I had my eyes checked by another doctor, I was told that I don't have astigmatism... my headaches seemed to be migraine (but my mother said it's just HYPOCHONDRIA- grrrr) so he sent me to an Internist.. So I went to the next doctor.. I waited and waited and waited. I lost patience so I went to my dentist and told her I want my tooth extracted and my head doesn't hurt anymore. She asked if I had serious conditions. She mentioned high blood pressure - I shook my head and said "no! In fact, I'm anemic".. there she was, with her tool to take off my stubborn tooth, gloves on, chair tilted, light straight to my face. She shook her head.
"You need a clearance from the Internist"
"Internist?! No!!!!" So I left the clinic with all of my teeth.
And yes.. I'll be going home with my teeth tomorrow.
My Dad will take me to the airport and tomorrow night I'll be working again.
It's sad that I don't know when I'm coming back. I like it here but I need to work. I need the health insurance, you know 
Oh well.
Home at Last
Im now at home.. After a year and 3 months of waiting.. I'm now back home.
