2008 Beijing Olympics

Community issues

Philippines standing in the recently concluded 2008 Beijing Olympics: 0-0-0. Pathetic. But we should always keep in mind that there are other countries with the same standing like ours, right? Does it make you happy to know that? Relieved perhaps?

I still feel like we could have done better. Imagine, we got gold in the Wushu demonstration. How come we failed in the other sports? Maybe, there’s too much pressure on the athletes? Or there’s not enough training? I believe there should be a serious evaluation of our national sports department. Are we tapping the right people to head the various sub-departments under it? Are we really exerting all efforts to win in international competitions?

The next Olympics will be held in London on 2012. I do hope we’ll do much better by then. *keeping my fingers crossed

War in Mindanao

Community issues

It’s find it ridiculous, to say the least, what is happening in Mindanao right now. So many casualties brought on by this all-out war declared by the MILF against the Arroyo government and everybody who comes in their way. Men, women, children. Old and young. No one is safe from the MILF’s wrath.

I pity those people in Mindanao caught in the middle. And I am really furious with the government for using the Bangsamoro deal just to jump start (again) their bid to change the constitution. Look at the cost of this Cha-Cha. So many lives destroyed. So many dreams are shattered.

Is it really worth it? Will the country get any better after the Charter Change?

This blog’s tagline

Blogging in general

If you have noticed, I changed this blog’s tagline. Whereas before it says “Reviews, Personal Experiences, Blogging Issues”, it now says “current issues, reviews, work at home“.

The reason for the change is that I have been blogging not only about blog issues but also about current issues in the government, society, blogging in general and other big issues of the moment. I also blog about celebrity issues here although that would be lessened now. I will blog about celebrity issues in Splotches, which will soon have a re-launch. Obviously, I write reviews. So that would mean there are days when I will be posting a couple of entries. All reviews will be tagged accordingly. And that would be Brain Wave, Resources and Games and Fun. I previously join several memes but for a while now, I have limited this blog’s participation to Weekend Snapshot and Food Friday. Food Friday will eventually be moved to another blog but for now, those two memes are the only memes you will see here.

I will do occasional tags from other bloggers but as much as possible, I will post tags at My Own Utopia. And since I now work at home, you will also see some entries here relating to that.

So there you go. My brand new blog design comes with a brand new tagline :)

I knew it!

The Bangsamoro deal/MOA is a prelude to the Charter Change! GMA is a sneaky, conniving b$%ch! Clearly, the Philippine government will go to great lengths to be able to push down our throats the Charter Change that will benefit GMA and her sneaky, conniving f$%%king allies!

I just hate how these people would lie and connive just to dupe the citizens. Instead of serving the people, they are serving themselves, benefiting from the blood and sweat of the masses. Poor people are getting poorer each day while the ones in league with the powers that be are getting richer and richer.

I can go on and on about the pock marks this government has done and is doing to the country. And about that Bangsamoro deal leading to the Cha-cha. But it will all boil down to this… we are f*cked!
