Dito Lang sa Pilipinas

Posted on June 25, 2009 by greenbucks| 17 Comments

Dito lang sa Pilipinas. Kanta yan ni Gary Granada, isa sa mga paborito kong kompositor at mang-aawit. Sana pakinggan nyo ang awit at ito ay tamang-tama sa panahong ito kahit matagal na yata itong naisulat.

But come to think of it, kahit matagal nang isyu itong vote buying, flying voters, dagdag-bawas, ballot box snatching at murder (ayon sa kanta), siyempre, hindi mawawala diyan ang kandidatong hindi natalo kundi dinaya, pati na din ang kandidatong nandaya kaya nanalo, hindi pa din ito naluluma.

Para bang parte na ito ng kultura natin and no matter how much we say we want changes and reforms (electoral reforms in this matter) parang walang nangyayari. Ganun na ba kalala ang kalagayang ito at ng mga sumangang sitwasyong kaakibat ng isyung ito?

Anyway, wag lang sana umabot sa ganito kapag sukdulang galit na ang mga tao:

bonifacio

Hindi, hindi ko po pinababalik si Gat Andres upang mamuno ng isang pag-aalsa 😉

Bakit kelangan pang mangyari yun kung aayusin na lang sana ang prosesong suntok sa buwan na maituturing?

pasensiya na po, medyo blurred, umaandar kasi nung ako ay kumuha ng larawan

School Starts Tomorrow

Posted on June 7, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

There’s no stopping the opening of classes in my eldest daughter’s school according to the email sent by the parent board to the parents. This scheduled opening is happening despite the AH1N1 scare which made the universities canceled opening of classes from tomorrow to next week’s Monday.

It would be cute to use a personalized tote bags to go to school because this will make sure that school children will not lose their bags. My two younger homeschooling children would surely love to have these bags.

i am sure, a lot of children are excited and looking forward to seeing their classmates tomorrow. I hope they get their doses of ascorbic acid to boost their immune system against diseases.

Phase 2 Project: Segment 8.1 Connecting Mindanao Avenue to NLEX

Posted on May 7, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Simula pa lang ng paggawa ng malaking kalye malapit sa amin.

Noong Lunes ay isinarado na ang daan na dinadaanan namin kaya iikot na kami sa matrapik na palengke. Pero sige lang, pagkatapos naman nito (kung matatapos agad) ay magiging mas maaliwalas ang aming pag-uwi. Wala naman sana problema kung hindi nagsasara ng gate yung katabing subdibisyon mula 10am  – 5pm at 10pm – 6am para hindi na kaya naipilitan kami umiikot ng malayo. Hmph.

Importante ang daan na ito kasi mismo si PGMA (S)cares ay dumalo sa groundbreaking ceremonies noong nakaraang buwan (kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko).

Pasensiya na po, malabo, umaandar kasi kami at may tint pa ang salamin.

Anyway… (pakibasa po hanggang bago magdulo, nandun ang climax)

Ang major road na ito ay mag-uugnay ng Mindanao Avenue sa NLEX or North Luzon Expressway. Heto ang isa pang link tungkol sa project.

Alam nyo ba kung magkano ang 2.8 kilometer na daang ito? 1.5 billion pesos lang naman.

Kung ito ay idi-divide sa 2.8 kilometers, pumapatak na 535 million++ pesoses for less than a kilometer ang presyo ng daan na yan. Sosyal di ba?

Twing! Twing! (Tunog ng cash register yan, lol!)

Tulay Para sa Kaunlaran

Posted on April 30, 2009 by greenbucks| 11 Comments

Meron kong tulay dito at dito, ang tulay na nagdadala sa akin palapit sa tahanan ng aking mga magulang. Parehong tulay it pero magkaiba ang perspective sa pagkakakuha at interpretasyon 🙂 I have two different perspectives and interpretations of the same bridge which brings me closer to home in the two links I have made.

Ang tulay sa ibaba ay isa sa mga bagong gawang tulay. Ito ay bago, malinis pa at may nakasulat na GMA SCARES, este, CARES pala  na hindi ko na isinama sa larawan. The bridge in the photo below is an almost newly-built bridge. This is new, its clean and has GMA SCARES, errr, CARES written on it.

Bakit nga may bagong tulay dito? Hindi pa naman mukhang sira ang dating tulay, sa katunayan, ang bagsik ng Pinatubo (nandun sa cluster ng mga bundok) at mga lindol ay nakayanan nito. Hindi kasi nahukay ang mga buhangin kaya ang tubig sa ilog ay nawala at nagmukhang disyerto mula sa buhanging galing sa lahar.

Imbes na hukayin, nagtayo na lang ng bagong tulay. Galing no?

Ano nga ang sabi ng mga pulitiko?

“Kapag ako ay iboboto ninyo ipagagawa ko ang mga kalsada. Kahit walang mga ilog, magpapatayo tayo ng mga tulay!”

Yan po ang tulay ng kaunlaran.

Bow.

Are Your Ready for Summer?

Posted on February 25, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Are you ready for summer? The weather station said in the news yesterday that summer has officially started.

Now I am panicking because I should have started slimming down when the new year just started  😀

Now that I am about to do a drastic change in my work schedule, maybe I should try doing some fitness routines since I am going to have more time on my hands. Like mopping the floor while I’m dancing. Or doing stretching while I dust the library shelves.

Maybe I need to increase my intake of raw food like vegetables and fruit and stop the habit of driking soda and eating chocolates for dessert. Noooo!

Maybe I should think about Ephedrasil hardcore as an option.

Or maybe, I’ll skip summer and just bum in the house. Of course NOT. 😀
