Pre-Election Tantrums

I heard the news on TV that the Supreme Court has allowed voter's registration to last until sometime in January. Woot! I just need to get my ass off to the COMELEC office to have my voter record transferred. I'm registered in Manila and I dont want to register as a new voter in the province since that would no doubt classify me as a flying voter slash multiple registration. Hello bars. I just wish that they wouldn't give me as hard a time as I did when I tried to register the first time. I mean c'mon do I really have to fill up those forms in triplicate? Have you ever heard of a photocopying machine people?

Meanwhile, voter or not, I just wanted to express my views on some of the "presidentiables" who are dying to dip their hands into the government coffers (at the highest level). When their ads are creeping into my tv schedule, I have every damn right to express my views. I think I'm going for Manny Villar. I dont really believe his shit about pro-poor agenda, but he'll try and most likely to succeed. At trying. At least he has a platform to debate on. Him being rich already being a real property tycoon is not really a guarantee that he will not further enrich himself at the expense of the presidency. Uhmm, its not just about the dough. Power comes with it too, remember? Be that as it may, I believe that he has genuine intentions and has the capability and experience to steer the country forward. We so desperately need a strong president to do the job of "executing the laws" and he could just be the "man for the job." Noynoy Aquino on the other seems seems to be a losing case. I'm not really sure what his plans are for the government, except that "he'll lead/light the way." With a battalion of actors/actresses, b-class entertainers and media personalities going along with him. The only credit to his name is that he's the only son of a martyred senator and an ex-president. That's a lil bit short of a resume for someone who's aspiring to be a president don't you think? He's been in politics for like what, 10, 15 years and what "change" exactly has he been able to accomplish? As for Gilbert Teodoro, I don't know him. I don't think the voting population does either. Moving on, Joseph Estrada. Really. He IS the lost case. For all intents and purposes. He lost the presidency. He lost the cases afterwards. And he will lose this race. If he is ever allowed to run. Which I don't think he will be. He will lose that battle at the Supreme Court.

I'm still expecting more tv ads to flood in. So im stacking up on dvds and books to survive me through the holidays. Don't expect a Christmas message from me. Consider this as THE message.

Its been awhile since I last posted something here. I am way too lazy to write unless I'm getting paid for it. Since my internet is acting up, and my Facebook applications (read: games) take too long to load, I tried to think of something else to do. Anything at all. Suddenly, I remembered this blog. I checked and it hasn't been suspended yet for non-activity. Ok, cool! So what now? First off, I only have about 3 followers so I am assuming that they too haven't been visiting for awhile, otherwise they would have deleted me already. So we have something in common after all (aside from the fact that they're my cousins).

Next, I realized my time is wasted on these useless games that I've been addicted to since late last year. I swear I need counseling and rehabilitation. I have programmed my daily activities around these games. And Twitter is no help either. I first heard about Twitter from friends, and then the internet, and then on tv. At that time when I signed up for an account, I had huge issues with the character limit which was so frustrating, I mean what can I write with 140 characters? It's not even enough for all the exclamation points that I so carelessly use ad nauseum! I gave up and forgot all about it. But after Ashton and Demi got so pop in the Twitter world (reportedly being paid for it, those lucky bitches), I decided to give it another go. Now I got about 11 followers, hoot! I'm gonna do a lil bit of research on how to make that 500. Shah!

At the Twitter homepage I saw this: "If you aren't familiar with Twitter, it is one of those things, like MySpace, that sounds totally ridiculous and stupid when you first hear about it. But once you start using it, you realize how much fun it is." (Eric Nuzum, Author of The Dead Travel Fast)

And I noticed that Myspace had added a chat feature. Im not sure how recent this is since I also haven't been visiting Myspace for quite some time now. Facebook rules! LOL!
