TIMES LIKE THESE

Bad trip talaga! State of emergency daw. May curfew. Di tuloy ako makagimik. Anong klaseng place to? Wala na ngang nangyayari sa libo-libong tax na binabayad with my tiny bit of salary, wala pa akong freedom lumabas anytime I want... well, pwede naman, kaya lang, baka mapagtripan lang naman ng mga bantay na police / afp all over. And there's no reason pa naman to declare such state. Usual EDSA Revolution gathering lang naman yun. The government is so paranoid... kasi guilty.

Times like these, I feel that there's no reason to stay in this filthy country. Everything is so wrong. No decent job that would somehow generate sufficient income,... and if you happen to own your own business or firm... don't expect that everyone will pay you for what they owe coz taghirap nga.

Times like these, I wanna get out of this country and settle eslewhere. They say that people who go abroad will always remain as employees. Right now, I think that's ok, as compared to living in luxury that no one knows if it still exists the next day, and much much better than living like the president who probably couldn't sleep sa dami ng kasalanan nya.

Times like these, I hear people saying kung may balat ba sa pwet yung president natin... sa dami ng calamities na dumating during her term... as in one after another. Or maybe makasalanan lang nga talaga sha.

Times like these, I just keep on hoping that when I wake up tomorrow, there will be a leader who's not necessarily perfect, but at least man lang, may konting honesty.
