Life is Like a Wheel

Life is like a wheel. Everyone will agree. From day to day there are different encounters. Different events. Different places. Different people. All are riding in the wheel of life.

Transition

Wheel on June-28-10

Two days left and President Noynoy Aquino will be taking his oath as the new President of the Philippines. It was really fast for this man. Who would have thought that he will be the next president?

I just thought just now that he and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo have something in common. What is it? Both their parents were also past presidents of this country.Idol ko si Ma, Idol ko si Pa. Mom is my idol for Noynoy while Dad is my idol for Gloria.

Every Filipino is hopeful for this transition. I am praying.

The proud sister

Wheel on June-10-10

Have you seen or have you noticed how Kris Aquino-Yap is so proud of her brother? Let us give it to her because Noynoy’s victory is also her victory. Well, Kris Aquino worked hard to campaign for her brother. She went from one town to another and even got sick because of the sorties. Now that they have won, she is now saying that she will fulfill all the promises that they said during the campaign. Do we see another blooming politician in the making? I know that her intentions are pure. Boy, it is hard to do what they are doing.

Manny Villar, a hopeless romantic? His wife was his first and hopefully last? He compared his wife to an air-con at night.

Manny Villar is the presidentiable featured today at Umang Kay Ganda. Interesting.

Tony Taverna is very light on this interview. I wonder?

I still like the interview with Noynoy Aquino!

Get up and start again

Wheel on September-26-09

During election time, politicians try to convince voters to vote for them by doing charity works. I hope they could focus on things that people sometimes take for granted like medical supplies. They could give things like medicinal supplies for wound care, first aid kits, blood pressure monitor and others. In that way, they could create health awareness amongst everyone. As they say, health is wealth thus, if the people are healthy, then we could have a healthy country, right? If they need ideas, they should go to Allegro Medical where there is a wide range of choices as to baby and adult products alike.

After elections, what would the politicians do, especially those who lost? I suggest that they consider riviera maya vacations. I am sure that because of the beauty of the place, they would forget all their pains. They would be refreshed and would be able to get up and start again.

Nothing obsolete

Wheel on September-17-09

Whoa! I thought I will not be able to open my dashboard. Just like here in the office, huh! The system was sort of down for almost two hours. Well, what would you do? Clean up e-mails or chat with your office mate?

Anyways, I read some news provided online. Yes, we do not have direct access to internet from our post but we have sort of an internal internet with the latest news.

So, ERAP’s name is being dragged to the unresolved controversies. Well, it should have been done before but why right now? Are they afraid that the old man could still win the elections? Yes, ERAP would like to runa gain for the Presidency after being jailed for plunder. I think that is an insult to the Filipinos. However, since literacy rate in the Philippines is quite low… or maybe, people here has a memory like that of a fish. I have nothing against ERAP. I just want him to just rest and enjoy his life. Let the younger generation take over. After all, this is the new world. We need nothing obsolete.

The issue being tackled right now is the removal of senate guards from Dante Madriaga. He is one of the witnesses for the ZTE anomaly. He said that he was not informed. According to the conversation, it was because Senate President Enrile got mad because the security guards are being used as caddies by Jun Lozada while playing golf. Huh? Then why was the guards for Madriaga were the ones removed?

I could not understand Philippine politics.
