Nothing comes cheap anymore...

The prices of commodities are rising like never before and everyone’s left with less money to spare as savings. With the way things are going with my country now, I wonder what 5 years would be like… 10… 15… With this belt-tightening times, will the Filipinos ever survive?

Sure the wealthy can afford but even so everybody can feel the effects of inflation. What could be the cost of all these? Fuel price increase? China’s domination? Government manipulation? Or All of the above? I believe all these have made their impact to the country’s crisis and what can Juan de la Cruz do about it? I must say, we should all depend on ourselves to earn more and not wait for the government to help us out. Come on now, should you still be expecting that?

I find it pathetic that people rally on the streets demanding for wage increase or for “patalsikin si Gloria, or whoever” just because there is a problem. Stop doing the blame game now and start dealing with your problems starting with yourself! I find it pathetic that people are not contented with the government because the president promised to bring food on their table. Come on now! People, if you won’t work you won’t have anything. If you’re lazy, go eat scraps!

At this belt-tightening times, what Filipinos should do is to learn to save their money and resources and work even harder. Instead of pointing fingers, we should hold hands and help one another so we could all survive these trying times. It’s unity that we need and not pointing the gun to who is guilty. All of us are guilty. It’s not just the government’s fault. Heck, you’re the ones who voted for these people anyway. You let them buy your votes so you get what you deserve.

Anyway… Just want to voice out about the Meralco issue right now. All I can say is the government should just keep their mouth shut and leave Meralco alone. If the government takes hold of Meralco, just imagine how much they would end up charging the people. Let’s face it, they’re very manipulative.

Also, about the RCBC killings… It’s pathetic that our police would kill these “suspects” and say that there was a shootout when in fact those poor people didn’t have the chance to defend themselves. Why protect your own people? No robbery gang would have the guts to kill those employees point blank. Only the military and people who know they can get out of the situation CAN!

I hate watching the news. I just get depressed. LOL

Pagsubok

Just want to share this song.. it's old but I still love it. Love listening to it when I feel down and burdened.

Isip mo’y litung-lito
Sa mga panahong nais mong maaliw
Bakit ba ang bumabalakid
Ay ang ‘yong mundong ginagalawan

Ang buhay ay sadyang ganyan
Suliranin ‘di mapigilan
Itanim mo lang sa iyong puso
Kaya mo ‘yan

CHORUS
Pagkabigo’t alinlangan
Gumugulo sa isipan (’wag mong isuko)
Mga pagsubok lamang ‘yan (at ‘yong labanan)
‘Wag mong itigil ang laban
‘Wag mong isuko at ‘yong labanan

Huwag mong isiping ikaw lamang
Ang may madilim na kapalaran
Ika’y hindi tatalikuran
Ng ating Ama na S’yang lumikha

Hindi lang ikaw ang nagdurusa
At hindi lang ikaw ang lumuluha
Pasakit mo’y may katapusan
Kaya mo ‘yan

[Repeat CHORUS]

I'm so scared of the Oompa Loompas


I love the Chocolate Factory so much. As a young kid, for me it was heaven. I thought the Chocolate Factory really existed filled with all those yummy candies and with that delicious chocolate milk river that I wish is for real. It's candy heaven and watching the movie brings me back to my childhood. Unfortunately, one thing I hate about the movie are those scary oompa loompas. The classic movie had scary oompa loompas and the remake is even worse! They're hideous to the nth level and they never fail to freak me out. I can't even stare at them 'coz I'm afraid I'd have nightmares! So scary! Especially the oompa loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the remake)

Am I the only one who fears these little beings? I have nothing against midgets though and I am not a midget-hater. I just hate those oompa loompas. If without them, I'd watch Willy Wonka and the chocolate Factory and the Charlie and the chocolate factory over and over again. They ruined the movie for me! :( So scary! So so scary!

If you have no idea what they look like, check these links. (I won't post their pix here, I don't want to freak out every time I view my own blog!)

from the classic movie

from the remake- even scarier!:(

My niece had a pictorial

Our cute niece is growing up so fast. I can't believe how cute she's turning out to be. :)

My First Post

Let us all pray for the lives lost during the Myanmar cyclone and the China earthquake where thousands of people died. Let's help the victims by donating even just a few dollars through the many registered sites (including paypal) that accepts donations or send money directly to your country's representatives.

Let's all pray that these things won't happen again although we know it's really up to God's will. He has plans and when things can not be controlled, we have nothing else to do but lift it up to Him.

These are natural occurrences and are really inevitable. Hope new technology can help prompt us beforehand so fewer lives (if not zero) would be lost. For now, we just have to pray and help those who lost their family and many loved ones in Myanmar and China.
