Don’t Dance with <strong>the</strong> Philippine Government<br />

How many EDSA’s did we have Three, and do you want <strong>to</strong> go on <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> fourth<br />

fifth This will go endless. S<strong>to</strong>p ranting. So shut up. Listen and think on <strong>the</strong> real<br />

scenario. Is our case <strong>the</strong> worst case in <strong>the</strong> his<strong>to</strong>ry of governance No. In this point<br />

of time, not yet. We worry much on <strong>the</strong> corruption and greed of <strong>the</strong> elected officials.<br />

But look at this, we don’t worry much if we got something “extra” from<br />

our tuition. Don’t lose hope yet. We still can change <strong>the</strong> turnout of events. We<br />

can change it by ourselves. Idealistic, isn’t it But <strong>the</strong>re are simple things. Follow<br />

simple rules in traffic, school and in society. Keep Right, No Entry, No U-turn,<br />

and No Left Turn are some of <strong>the</strong>m. If it says, No Entry, <strong>the</strong>n you shouldn’t<br />

get in. Even, falling in line in drinking water, clearance signing, and paying dues<br />

should be followed. It won’t hurt if you follow <strong>the</strong>se rules. Don’t answer me that<br />

rules won’t hurt much if you don’t follow <strong>the</strong>se <strong>to</strong>o.<br />

S<strong>to</strong>p Global Warming!<br />

Hey, <strong>the</strong> doomsayers said that we only have few<br />

years left <strong>to</strong> linger on this planet. I think Hollywood<br />

has given enough samples for apocalypse<br />

- those aliens saving <strong>the</strong> world, tsunamis,<br />

and endless winter nights that could freeze <strong>the</strong><br />

entire New York City etc. You know what; it’s<br />

not just global warming. It’s global warning! It’s<br />

not <strong>to</strong>o late though. There’s still H-O-P-E we<br />

can cling un<strong>to</strong>. We can take part in Earth Hour,<br />

cleanliness drives in our local communities like<br />

cleaning beaches, canals, and rivers. Recycle if<br />

you have <strong>to</strong>. Bring your own bayong instead of<br />

asking for plastic bags when going <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> market.<br />

If you want show some love, get out of<br />

your house, move your body, and sweat for <strong>the</strong><br />

environment.<br />

Worry no more, A(H1N1)<br />

This pandemic is not as worse as we can imagine. This won’t transform us <strong>to</strong> witless<br />

zombies scavenging for fellow humans <strong>to</strong> eat and tear. Take note, it’s not as<br />

bad as dengue. But this doesn’t mean that you can just roam around without minding<br />

your own health. Don’t buy <strong>the</strong> popularity rating as courtesy from <strong>the</strong> endless<br />

media hype. Blame it <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> endless search for <strong>the</strong> popularity rating of <strong>the</strong> TV<br />

networks. Put in mind that this isn’t <strong>the</strong> only problem that <strong>the</strong> country is facing<br />

right now. There are more significant societal issues clogging in <strong>the</strong> country like<br />

economic recession, <strong>the</strong> CHA-CHA or ConAss, 2010 Elections, higher tuition fee<br />

etc. Just don’t PANIC!<br />

70% Passing Rate, Chicken<br />

Cram. You’re doing this every time <strong>the</strong>re are quizzes – ambushed or announced,<br />

exams, overdue assignments and projects. If you’ll flunk, remember <strong>the</strong> lines from<br />

a famous noodle commercial, “Anong sabi ni Nanay Tomorrow’s ano<strong>the</strong>r day!” Anyway,<br />

you have your time, money and effort <strong>to</strong> spend. Make sure that if you overstay at<br />

school, you have used all <strong>the</strong> facilities and got your money’s worth.<br />

I may sound cheesy <strong>to</strong> quote this line from a song “smile though your heart<br />

is breaking”. Optimism will help people realize and believe in <strong>the</strong>mselves, in<br />

people around <strong>the</strong>m, and dream. But don’t just smile or laugh without any<br />

reasons at all because that’s <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r s<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />
