HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALESSANDRA MACAM!

let's partei on sat!

cheers to your 22nd! :)

Now I know why.

I now know why Filipinos are less nationalistic than westerners (or other Asian countries). Aside from not trusting the government anymore, they' re just simply turned off by the rotten system. When I was in school, I used to think that they're inefficient without exactly knowing why. But now that I'm braving the real world and actually given a chance to experience things first hand, I understand fully why this beautiful country has lost its splendor.

Yesterday, I went to an SSS branch to secure an sss number that I might need for future employment. The whole experience was fun and exciting. It made me feel like an adult. Finally, I have a government record. It was also easy and fast considering that it only took me about 10 minuntes to finish the whole thing. No lines, no hassles, no expenses. But today was different. WAAAAY different.

Because I was inspired by how easy it was to file for an sss number, I decided to get a TIN number as well. Some employers expect you to have one when applying even though they know it's just your first job. So I decided to get one today. I thought it was as easy but I dread the experience. It was CHAOTIC. Everyone was packed in a small office space with tons of paper piled everywhere. It was hot, disorganized and just plain confusing. There were no concrete steps to follow... oh! actually there was but the illustration board that shows it was not posted properly. That's why people were lost. The worst part was not about the system, it was more about the employees who probably never knew that smiling and diplomacy were part of their job description. How cold can they get! They do not know how to deal with people. The BIR definitely needs some polishing, I swear! and they expect us to pay our taxes... I'm sorry but I actually lost the will to do so if not only for my starvng and homeless countrymen.

I PITY those I was with this afternoon, the helpless Filipinos who had to bear the same insulting situation just to get the job done. I knew that if there was just an easy way to accomplish what they need then they probably wouldn't waste their time there. The people in the government are taking advantage of the helpless Filipino people who can not complain. Because they just wanted to finish the job, they just keep mum about the inefficiency. Kawawa naman ang mga Pinoy.

HALA! Lan...

Ngayon ang araw ng pagboto. Sa kabila ng mga alegasyon ng pandaraya at matinding pagbili ng mga boto, nawa'y meron pa ring mga bayaning Pinoy na boboto para sa ikauunlad ng bansa. Vote wisely.

At... kaarawan ng isang etsapwera sa lipunan! Maligayang Kaarawan Trina Federis! (syempre buo dapat pangalan mo). Isang di ko makakalimutan na karanasan kasama ang batang ito ay naganap noong Catech class namin ng pinakahuling semestre ng kolehiyo. Sa kamalas-malasan ay katabi ko siya hehehehe :)

isang kaklaseng buong tapang nagtanong: "Is love all about sacrifices?"
TRINA (pabulong niyang sinagot) : "NO. It's about national development!"

yan si Trina! Happy Birthday :)

uh-duh!

I'm such a dummie for not realizing that comments on my blog are enabled. Because of that, I just read all the comments that you guys wrote for me even for the previous posts I've written ages ago. So this is a supah late THANK YOU to everyone who left touching and inspiring comments for me. I relied too much on the chat box, I guess. hehehe :) Thank you guys!

Go get 'em Spidey!

We had a family date last night and watched spiderman 3. Di bali hindi ko na ikekwento yung kabuuan para sa mga hindi pa nakakanood. Maganda siya. I think it went beyond our expectations, it's obvious that the people loved it. Well, i did. It's better than spiderman 2. Actually, almost cartoony yung dating. Plus, it's just not all about the action scenes, there's a tinge of sentiment and dancing! hehehe :) if you haven't seen it, go and watch. It's worth your money.
