On being a Novo Ecijano and the 2007 Philippine Elections
Despite of the chance that one could get shot while voting in our province, I would still wake up early on May 14 and stand in a line to be able to cast my vote. No, I will not vote for a “dynasty” that calls itself the “New Strength of our Province” nor to the other party that promises the people that they are the future of Nueva Ecija. Because I believe that the strength and future lies within us Novo Ecijanos and not within these politicians who scramble, during the elections, for power while trampling on each and everyone’s basic human rights.
I’m NOT Jealous
It’s just that you could have not told me anything about whatever. You could have just asked how and where I was, said how generally exciting your day went, and left all the other details out — period. Was it really that important to you for me to know about whatever? Did you feel so relieved, or so overjoyed, or somehow so proud that you just had to spill it out? Did you think that you were oh-so-cleverly playing with my imagination?

Harry-ing the 7th Book!
Note: This contains spoilers about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)I know I shouldn’t be making this one, but what can I do? I’m just a fan!
Anyway, last week, while surfing internet, I came across a New Yorker who had the copy of an e-book of Harry Potter 7. HP7 will be released late July, symepre, I had to read the book! I requested for a copy and now I am currently reading Chapter 10. Although I do not know whether this one is the true copy of the book by JK Rowling, or just a fan fiction, but examining it externally, a 548-paged e-copy of the book is not authored by a fan, still, it is worth readingÂ
Perpetual Succour & GSIS Hospital Program
On the third day after our mother suffered a stroke, upon the approval of her doctor we moved her to Perpetual Succour Hospital because (my mother who is a retired school teacher) we wanted to avail of the GSIS Hospitalization Program initiated by Atty. Winston Garcia. Thus we were able to avail of considerable discounts in Room Rates, CT Scan and 2D Echo procedures, a little of laboratory exams, but most important of all, we were able to enjoy I think a whooping 30% discount in medicines bought from the hospital pharmacy. (Why don’t hospitals put an extra ER in their pharmacies so buyers who felt like gasping for breath or experiencing fainting spells upon seeing the medicine bills can easily be assisted?) Anyway, I just want to acknowledge that the GSIS program is a big help but I wish it should be the government’s thrust to launch similar programs nationwide and not just on selected sites.
