State of the mind - eto dapat ang sinabi ni GMA kahapon

just became a fan of Conrado de Quiros. brilliant. clever. this is a must read!

"I did not invent buying congressmen, I merely improved on it. The congressmen were corrupt long before I came in. You can take the word of their previous speaker, Ramon Mitra for it: They will sign anything, including toilet paper. Mitra was kind to draw the line at toilet paper."

SONA ranks 2nd on Twitter trending topics

I was tweet dependent yesterday bout updates on GMA's SONA coz i was here in the office. a bit shocked because SONA was 2nd on trending topics and PGMA and GMA on 5th and 6th. and today i was surprised my tweet was quoted - with my username and real name. (which I was thinking sana yung username na lang, uso polki at desap ngayun eh.)

A user named mudcore (Maine Galvez), said she was suspicious about Arroyo's future plans. "'Thank you congress' hmmm.. smells something here. Is it followed by 'Thank you for electing me as [Prime Minister] in the future Congress'?"

United States Of Eurasia - Muse (Non-Collateral Damage)

strange, i feel very strange. not sure if it's agitation or fear. but surely a little disappointment and confusion at the end of the video. why isn't Philippines a part of it? we are part of Eurasia. anyway, whatever. not that familiar with the music of MUSE but i really think there's something special about them.

Lyrics:
You and me are the same,
We don't know or care who's to blame,
But we know that whoever holds the reins,
Nothing will change, our cause has gone insane;

And these wars, they can't be won,
And these wars, they can't be won,
And do you want them to go on and on and on?
Why split these states, when there can be only one?!

And must we do as we're told?!
Must we do as we're told?!

-Instrumental Interlude-

You and me fall in line,
To be punished for unproven crimes,
And we know that there is no one we can trust,
Our ancient heroes, they are turning to dust!

And these wars; they can't be won,
Does anyone know or care how they begun?
They just promise to go on and on and on
but soon we will see there can be only one...
UNITED STATES!
UNITED STATES of...
Eura-sia! -sia! -sia!
Eura-sia! -sia! -sia!
Eura-sia! -sia! -sia!
