Where I'm Likely To Freak Out

Thursday again and if I'm not mistaken, thursday is the "day where I'm Likely to freak out". In my junior and senior years of high school, It was thursday where we suffer from math electives such as statistics, under the very rigorous and disturbing teacher by the name of Ms Santos and thursday had memories of annoying algebra exams where I could hardly win , plus the college entrance exam reviews where the competition was fucking fierce and everyone fucking confirmed anyway. At this hour, the art of possibly freaking out was revived. Thank God it's more sublime .

I'm talking about the current walkout of Oakwood Mutiny participant and now Senator Antonio Trillanes, who walked out of his trial , along with his comrades The Magdalo Group. There is currently a movement in The Peninsula Hotel Manila in Ayala Avenue, Makati. Trillanes, Magdalo and AFP Gen. Danny Lim called for the resignation of President Arroyo. What scares me is that one of my best friends, Vince, texted me, telling me that he will be involved. I couldnt stop him . I don't necessarily support the movement, yet I respect Vince's decision. What scares me is that this incident might lead to mass arrest and that I might see one of my best friends getting arrested and that my parents might inevitably consider me disengaging from him.

I'm currently following the news and sending text messages to Vince ( who is currently in the Manila Peninsula, supporting The Magdalo Group. ),updating him on what's going on outside. The Arroyo Administration is currently giving Trillanes until 3pm to clear the hotel premises. I'm currently checking out ABS-CBN Channel 2 and GMA 7 for more earth-friendly news, since the ABS-CBN News Channel ( ANC) seems to cover the news but in the perspective of a lot of big businesspeople and the stock exchange. I even heard some woman from the stock exchange whining about how the media focuses on a movement that "nobody wants to join in " and that "they should be thrown in jail". Damn, what a sourpuss. I hope Vince is okay. Till then, I got F.Sionil Jose's Mass to help me get a perspective of what to be during these times

Batang Quiapo Alternative Storylines - 6/3/2024

  TANGGOL TO FINALLY MEET HIS FATHER? After a preview where his new female best friend, Bubbles ( played by Ivana Alawi) will be raped by Pablo ( played by Elijah Canlas ) and his goons, Tanggol will decide to fight back .  The accused is Alberto but unbeknownst to Coco Martin's protagonist character, Tanggol, is Ramon Montenegro. His biological father.  So his father is not that psychopath police officer Rigor Dimagiba.  It is that Mafia-esque boss Montenegro. The beauty of the story is that it highlights the sinister ideas of Montenegro's adapted sister, Olga ( played by Ivana Alawi) and it gives her more time to express herself through acting. That is a great thing, Direk Coco. Nonetheless, these are the things that I wish would be shown less in Batang Quiapo 1. Please, enough of Rigor saying he is "disciplining" Tanggol. Being two-faced does not work with him. Hate him all you want, but reveal the truth soon. Tanggol does not need to know. But cut the "discip...

Eddie would soon preach by quoting Patti Smith : "You people have the power", before giving a final attack of the chorus of Porch. Another protest vibe shines a light with The Decemberists' Perfect Crime. If this is the next revolution, we'll be dancing and rocking our way to change. As for Dino's Water, fall in love with the lyrics...
