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 />
