there are days when work seems never-ending... but there are days when you are so unproductive. today is one of the most unproductive days i've ever had. i'm so bored here at home, trying to figure out what work to do. i have to write something, but i can't seem to put it in the right frame of mind.
oh well... let's see where this gets me

indelible ink
election season again. this time it's for the local government... i didn't realize how much of a carnival it would be. granted that the local candidates were only given a few days to campaign.
i mulled the idea of joining the fray, knowing i have a lot of things i would do to make life better for the people around me.... but, then again, i decided to just be apathetic. i joined the fray of apathetic people, like countless others.
the sign of a responsible voter is the indelible inko they drop on your finger. in mine and my mom's case, the drop-happy eletion volunteer dropped like 5 drops of ink on our fingers. it looked horrible! one thing i noticed though, was the the indelible ink wasn't that indelible... it could be removed with the right kind of solvent. i found this out accidentally when i washed my hands with rubbing alcohol. calling all COMELEC people, please check the quality of your inks... thank you :*

welcome back!
I haven't blogged in a long time, mostly due to laziness and the hectic pace of my schedule. Honestly, the biggest hindrance back then was a slow computer and a slow internet connection. A blog post would equate to 10-15 minutes of writing and an hour of waiting to upload.
With that said, I plan to learn a few things for my blog
1. create my own template (i used to know how to do this, but i don't anymore)
2. learn to upload photos ( i know i have to create a flicker account)
3. devote more time to it
I've already come up with a few things I'd like to write about. Some are just pure randomness, while others have a political slant to it. most timely considering our economy is picking up and some stupid idiots want to drag the country down again.
Yesterday, I spoke to a friend of mine (who is now based in Morocco). His cousin-in-law was one of the unlucky people who got caught in the blast and didn't make it. His cousin is devastated and i'm pretty devastated for the fact that she left behind a daughter who will not have a chance to experience the devotion of a mother. I didn't ask my friend for information, but learned about the details when I read his cousin's letter on Cecille Zamora's blog.
Indeed, it was a sad day for Filipinos. With the government's terrorist angle brush off, this brings up a whole new concern for everyone -- safety through proper sanitation.
I hope someone finds a solution to all the country's problems... but things remain bleak for me, as of now. Like i said before, I'm not a total pessimist, nor am i an all-out optimist. I'm a pure realist. I'm seeing things from a realistic point of view... well, my realistic point of view, at least.
