The Status Quo of Philippine Politics

Some days I can’t help but think about politics.

Philippine Politics is dirty. There’s no argument in that. Philippine Politics is a circus – again no argument there.

One political ad caught my boyfriend’s attention and he said ” Sunud-sunod na ang administration- opposition cycle. Pag di gusto ng isang grupo ang administrasyon, oposisyon sila. Pag nanalo ang oposisyon, administrasyon na sila. Eh di ba ang administrasyon, oposisyon dati?”

The drop on prices of DLSRs made everyone wants to have one. Lately, I’ve noticed people carrying/ wearing their DLSRs around like a fashion accessory. You’d see people shooting inside malls, while dining and even while drinking coffee. Has the DSLR fad gone too much?
