Let the Jeepney:Take you there

Election heat has finally turned down.The yellow flag is now standing and waving......This day I was exhausted, I  accompany again my cousin to my university,,,,,it was really stressful when you are trying to help her but she's not helping herself....My cousin's major problem is that she doesn't know how to commute , she's even afraid to be inside a cab...........

Here in the Philippines we used Jeep as a means of transportation. jeepney is termed as the king of street because of its heavy weight, height and its major causes of traffic.......There are about 18 passengers in one jeepney...it is chromatic and creatively accessorized and it you will only need Php 7 for a trip.

There's a deck of cards of entrancing and morbid episodes that will be coded inside the jeep. In a flash, a quick fox could be gripping your phone, wallet or life. In a day there's a bulk of snatching cases.In late nights these kings are prone to accidents, they could be stuck in a massive hole or collide with a giant or gnome.

Inside the  Jeepneys is like inside a preheated oven and like a barrel of mixed peppers, what I mean is there are mixed odors and very expose to pollution.You could not even experience tranquility because there are some leery poker faces. And you wouldn't even like sitting like a hatter so tight on a hot flush seat and raising your arm trying to grab some silver rod..Sometimes there is a enie-minnie squabble between the conductor/driver and the passengers. We ,passengers couldn't understand why they keep on getting passengers when there is no enough seat.

That's why sometimes people would prefer to ride on a cab , even though it is expensive at least it is much more comfortable cool and your solo on the chesterfield.But I have bad notes on riding a cab,supremely when the sun has sets.I am more petrified quietly sitting in a cab than riding in a jeepney.....in the cab the driver could make fun of you, making threats and making you uneasy,,,,,sometimes they would trick you, especially if you look so innocent and doesn't know the directions they could just turn you around and let you pay much...Sometimes you left some valuable things and not all drivers are honest and caring enough to report it and give it back to you...There are also been cases where in drivers hold up their passengers and abandon them in an unknown area....

But i think most of us would love to be on our own car........everybody ,I think, has their dream car......I was once dreaming for a jaguar,hummer,Cadillac,Lexus and Volvo.....but I think I can have it in nearly next 10 years.Inside us we want our own luxury, our own precious modern Pegasus...Isn't it lovely to be on the chaise lounge,hands tight on wheels and with an overflowing music while on your Way to paradise ? or isn't it like an awakening spirit when your inside your haven, where you can hide and turn around any time when you are  on your ticket to dark jungle?

It is like You are carrying your own statement on the streets, it is just like the way we make statements in fashion.Some people would have an eye, with expressions of admiration some people would have a stare wishing for a glitch and some people would stop trying to break that foggy crap.

To have a car is like having a child , we are responsible for it, we need to feed it, educate it, fix it and love it.We can go wherever we want to go, because the car brings you everywhere.

But there are a lot of things that people would really missed in riding the taxi and their luxury car.Thes are the things that only happens or mostly happens in the Jeeps.

There are so many amazing things that happens in a jeepney. In a jeepney, there's an opportunity to help, when an elderly one comes in you could assist them, or move on the left side and let them take the comfortable seat. There could be guardian who are bringing the kids, again you could assist them.

Inside a jeepney could be a proclamation or a debate. Drivers and passengers could exchanged opinions , exchange bitter words and claims. And again the other passengers could assist any one of them, they could back fire or be a mediator. Inside the jeepney there's a colorful conversations and there's free gossip.....passengers would talk aloud that you would find yourself smiling about their chants. You could bumped to your friends or acquaintances and there you go exchange of words.You could laugh out loud and even sober, there's plenty of people who would be there for you.Inside a jeep there's reflection.Passengers sit opposite to each other, and in that you could clearly see their expressions, and you would have that empathy. you will knew who had the bad day and who's in a bliss. Inside a jeep there could be friendships built, there will be familiar faces and sometimes you would puzzle if that familiar face would be sooner be part of your ride.There will be exchange of glances and smiles. There are memories buried inside it.And though there's a lot of negative words you could throw in a  jeepney, it is still the king of streets, it blows your ride.

Life is just like the Cab,Luxury car and the Jeepney. They have the common ground, taking us to our destination.Life is a destination.There are too many crossroads, sometimes we got confused.The red light is on, we have to stop. No matter how desperate we are to move forward, we have to stop, and think again.In our lives we needed break, in every hassle ,in every back aching loads and bullets of words, we always needed to pause. Then there's the yellow light we have to slow down, we humans can't really get enough. Why be impatient? There's time, make most of it, sometimes when we fast forward we missed moments  and we knew there's no rewind, that's why there is a slow motion. Take it easy and everything will run smoothly. Now we go for green, it's time go, go ahead of your life keep going until we reach our final destination.

2010 "YEAR of CHANGE"

The Ninoy Aquino phenomenon II: A study in peaceful change

”The great “legitimizer” of government is the ballot not the bullet”Ninoy Aqunio

As I scrolled down my homepage on Face book political shibboleth are on their profile pics and some have clamored political wisdom on their status messages. As I switched local channels political ads are on race. As I move out in a box of shelter, all in my eyes are posters and tarps  on the weak barricades. And when I meandered on the avenue, my ears are in pain of those loud political rattles on a monstrous vehicle. I am flooded with campaign and forum invitations.

Yes Philippines is now on its zenith of politics. Election is going to happen in the next five days . It seems people now are more aggressive and active .They are like those malignant ninjas in the saddle for a ravage. I think most especially the youth were influenced by ABS-CBN's ako ang simula agenda. And Filipinos seems to be enervated and  had enough of playing as meek of the administration of PGMA.

Change is it really going to happen? my answer yes and in a major way. Whoever sits on that couch there is certainly change going to happen, the question is..is it for worst or better?

I honestly don't like the system of my country , especially on rules of campaigning.there are too many candidates , and yes comelec has these list of rules but when they are violated they didn't do anything.....and I do hate the way the politicians endorsed themes selves. Could they stop bragging what they have done? or they assumed that they have done..and could they stop making black notes on their opponents....

to be a good leader is to fight clean... Now for those candidates who had made black propaganda clearly for me they aren't good leaders. they are so desperate that they need to stain other person's name just to have a good appeal.

Politicians often use poverty and the poor people. but honestly, poor community doesn't even  care about these politicians, they don't even hope for betterment and they knew that they are only being used.. but do they have a choice? they got paid for it and they needed it.. even though they knew that the whole thing is only a false image they bite on it so that even just in a few days they could escape from hunger.

Rallies and riots for no reason, same thing they are paid just to stain a name.

So whom should we vote?

I think there are only 3 candidates who are credible enough to grab the slot of next President. Manny Villar, Noynoy Aquino and Gibo Teodoro.

According to the current constitution (1987), the President must be at least 40 years of age, a Filipino citizen by birth, and is a resident of the Philippines for the past 10 years prior to election.The president heads the Executive branch of the government, which includes the Cabinet and all executive departments. The executive power, as such, is vested on the President alone.The president is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.(http://en.allexperts.com/e/p/pr/president_of_the_philippines.htm)

The choice that the people will make is very crucial, the choice of the next leader is in Filipino's hands.

On the issue of expertise.

The nationalist party had claim that their bet has the most experience . I say yes , clearly, Ninoy and Gibo aren't experts in stealing the money of people.

Apparently, I don't like Manny Villar to be the next president, I am torn on Gibo and Noynoy. But these few days, Ia m quite disappointed on Noynoy's campaign, his group is also throwing spoiled bread.

Vilar on the other hand is a business expert, I could say he could make an improvement on our economy. He has been a senate president and in terms of political status, I bet Villar is on the 1st rank. But do we trust this man? Filipinos are skeptical these days. people is pondering on how can villar take back the billions he had spent for his campaign? and we have the negative answer, probably he would get it back in his years as a president. And that is our major fear. Villar had many controversies, the C5 extension.and the alleged alliance of the current administration....I can say that yes he is the secret partner of PGMA because all of a sudden the people from the administration are now on his track....and honestly I think a businessman like him, who has many properties wold only conflict as his position as a president. And also I hate it because why do the hell he used billions just for a campaign>?? he is really hungry.....and I hate it when I turn on TV I saw his stupid jingle and all those poor kids......Poverty is not only the problem in this country.hahaha....Could he actually clear out poverty>??? For me He is a man of stupid lies.....

Well I do admire him for his diligence but I don't think he is trustworthy.......

Good governance is not inherited.I mean there's no absolute truth that Noynoy will do a good governance just because his parents were. Although I still have trust on him, I mean for sure he is protecting the legacy of his parents.Noynoy haven't really authored-or coauthored a law that I could say made a big good change. And his years on the senate, I don't hear much of him in trials and honestly i don't think he made a huge impact.Noy noy was not full hearted on his decision to run as the next president. My worry on me, maybe his future advisers or colleagues could tricked him and signed a wrong paper....I think he is easily persuaded and I'm afraid of that. For me I want the next president who has the courage and can make his own decisions. I say Noynoy is a man of principles but I don't think he is a lion as he's father and as a fighter as his mother.

I am for Gibo.....Because I think he is the most humble and fair competitor among the candidates. He is the 2nd riches presidential and yet he didn't spent millions for his campaign.His party Lakas-Kampi-CMD sponsors the expense in his campaign..Among the three he is also the least of airshows of his commercial.He didn't pay for any celebrity to endorse him, those celebritiies proudly voluntary supports him. And these past days his many people proclaimed their full support on Gbo.He is the youngest secretary to hold the national defense position.He has the intelligence and ability.Even though some of his pawns betrayed him , he was able to manage to stand on his flag. We never heard anything from Gibo saying bad against a candidate nor about any party. Gibo was doing all his best in a clean way.

I do agree on the negative implementation of surveys. i mean Surveys should not been shown or be bases on who to be voted. It actually manipulate people whom to vote. Surveys are not that validated and it really gave an unfair connotation on some candidates. Surveys seem to be right because most of the people are relying on it. I said a month ago, we should vote for Gibo, but a friend of mine insisted that if we vote for Gibo it will only be wasted because for sure he won't win. And what is the basis of my friend for telling this?? the surveys........there's no problem in surveys it's just that I don't think it shouldn't be publicly announced,it confuses the mind of Filipinos.

People's machine...I'm afraid if there will be no automated election next week. I mean if we go back to manual counting, there's a higher risk of cheating.With that there could be another Garci connivance.

Honestly, I am also not that confident in the people's machine there are lot of ways that it could be manipulated.

Honestly I don't have trust on the COMELEC. The government should investigate these anomalies inside the Comelec.

I am frustrated because Philippines spent billions for this automated election, and I really don't know what will happen if they finally announced on going back to manual election. Here we go again, we can't deny it our ningas-kugon attitude. The comelec was very proud of it and showed great improvement months after It was announced that there will be an automated election.But what now?? until now the problems aren't fixed....until now the machines aren't yet ready.

Are we really ready for an automated election.I hope so.....I am afraid that all these delays and dilemmas are only shows so that a black shadow could have longer time thinking of the next strategy to steal the vote of the people......Smartmatic..could you please be more responsible?? I mean the Philippines had rusted your company and yet we think you aren't doing your best.......why oh why?

Whatever are the problems and issues .....I think it is best of us to pray, that there will be a clean and safe election next week.....and that the plans will run smoothly and people will be hopeful and calm.What we can do now.....is stop the pressure.hahaha.for sure those people are on heatwave.let's just give them a chance.....and wait and see..........Hopefully everything works........Let it all be done in the hands of God......

I don't have the right to make a claim nor to protest because I am not a registered voter..But I have the right to speak up my mind and be concern in the events of election.Yes you may say, how can I be concerned when in the first place I didn't take time to be registered.......it is one thing I regret.,...for not doing my part.yes before I really have the intention to not to vote because I thought no one deserves my vote......but the bottom line is , we citizens we should also be active and participate.no matter what It is .at least you Vote!! at least you have spoken...and with that you have the

There's hope for this country.it's gonna be a new day........

 . . We should not depend on one man, we should depend on all of us. All of us is expandable in the cause for freedom and therefore I say stand up now and be a leader, and when all of us are leaders, we will expedite the cause of freedom”Ninoy Aquino quotes, number 7 – “. . . I believe that we Filipinos could not fight for our freedom, we do not deserve it, we should not depend on the Americans, we should depend on ourselves . . . “Ninoy aquino"

Stop blaming, and Do your PART!Be a Leader ..........
