Surprise!!!

I just woke up one morning and noticed that Laneya can now eat on her own! One day she's a tiny baby and the next she can eat on her own! And she now knows how to use a straw. And and she likes carrot juice and prune juice, imagine. I think parents really do live for these kinds of surprises...

Feeling Down

I'm feeling down today, I don't know. It's a good thing I can put the blame on any THING - like the food I ate, the 'sakto' that I just gulped down, whatever.

Maybe it's everything that's happening - the horrible shifting irritating weather and the equally distressing political turmoil that's bound to give millions of Filipinos perennial headache and heartaches.

Frankly, I don't watch the news anymore. It's numbing how the situation in the country gets more than worst everyday (we need a new superlative for worst to describe it). If it's not the everyday crimes, it's political issues, which is just as bad as the morbid crimes for me - the way they put on these shows and assume that every Filipino does not think.

PGMA is putting on all these subtle moves that promise us she'd be even more terrible than Marcos, and the administration assumes that the ordinary Filipino does not notice these subtleties. Well it's obvious that she's putting all her claws at work even as we sleep. She attacks, and then retreats for a time (preparing for the next attack). But I think everybody by now knows her game.

Oh well, I think that the situation here will get more depressing. PGMA will gladly make sure of that.
