Quote of the Day (5)
Taking a cue from Manuel Quezon III’s blog entry on GMA’s Mandate of Heaven:
Woe to the nation that does not raise its voice save in a funeral, that shows esteem only at the grave, that waits to rebel until its neck is under the edge of the sword.
–Khalil Gibran, The Nine Woes

Mad Skillz
In the past few weeks, I have been on the hunt for a new job. It was an enlightening experience, really. I got to use a lot of the stuff I’ve been writing about in Bum No More. I got the chance to look back into my professional career (all two years of it!) and build a fairly attractive resume with surprisingly little padding. I also realized that I have several sets of skills that I can use to market myself, much like a young hooker after her first night of debauchery.
The skill I really want to develop right now is creative/content writing. It’s my passion ever since I discovered I suck at music and art. Writing is where I least suck, so what I really want to improve on is being a wordsmith. Drastically.
Potential Employer #1: Please write something about Makati.
Baddie: My pleasure.
The Luckiest B*tch Around
After EDSA 2, we were out of the frying pan. But now, we’re burning after jumping right into the fire. Worse, the government has transfigured into a fiery hell steered by no less than, in the words of Albay Governor Salceda, “the luckiest b*tch around”. And although Salceda’s tongue may soon have a full meal of the rantings of “the luckiest b*tch around”, it is most likely that she must have really been lucky. After all, how lucky can one be after shunning two impeachment complaints and derailing a couple of coup attempts? To say the least, the lapdogs of the queen have barked relentlessly against its detractors, quite apart from personifying the essence of a canine which is, in its most grotesque form, commendable for a bone.
Unfortunately, GMA’s case is not the workings of a divine intervention, nor can she bargain to the heavens for one. The queen’s closest source of a ‘divine intervention’ is already dead. Which goes without saying that the death of Cardinal Sin, the prime herald of two People Power revolutions, may have dragged the spirit of EDSA with it. Which also goes without saying that the clutter of priests fueling the moral foundations of this country has gone haywire over matters of national spirit and interest, killing the spirit of EDSA all the more. By all means, the term ‘divine intervention’ is nowhere in the directories or yellow pages of the Palace. And although the administration has once eyed proposals for better communications among the nation’s public offices through a National Broadband Network, you still cannot expect a b*tch to dial God’s number. In fact, you only expect a female dog barking at a ComElec commissioner at the other end of the line spitting the infamous phrase “hello, Garci?”

Laos and Brunei Ratifies the Asean Charter
The number of Asean countries ratifying the 1st Asean Constitution is growing and hopes are very high that the Asean Charter will be ratified by all countries months before this year’s ASEAN Summit.
Four out of ten countries of ASEAN ratified the 1st Asean Charter, the latest Laos and Brunei with the latter having ratified and submitted the “instrument of ratification” last February 15 before Malaysia.
Six more countries are still to ratify the Asean Charter namely – Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. All six countries have until early December to ratify the Asean Charter before the next ASEAN Summit starts.
