Corona on witness stand later

Well, I guess later this afternoon is the moment of truth for the Impeachment Trial of the Chief Justice. If you hate politics but have to watch one single day of the impeachment trial, this afternoon is IT. Chief Justice Renato C. Corona will be taking the witness stand later to defend himself against all allegations of graft and corruption.

I only watched the impeachment trial once -- when the prosecution was still presenting their case. After that, I told myself I won't watch how the government spends the money it steals from me thru my taxes. And they are not just buying briefcases for men -- it's more serious!

But again... this afternoon is different. It will be The Man himself! So, today, I will be filing my leave of absence to watch it. See you later, Boss Slave Driver!

Escape. Focus. Survive.

Have you ever experienced the feeling when you just wanted to relax and go away on a vacation, pack your bags and backpacking boots, drink some wine, and perhaps compartmentalize your mind so you can focus on what you want to do or pursue? No need for planning, for any research before the trip, just take the first bus going up north or down south and let the winds carry you wherever they want to take you.

Well, lately, because of the very, very hot weather, I am tempted to do just that. Unfortunately I can't. I still have some more immediate needs which I cannot just leave behind. If only I can, I definitely will.

(This post is a confirmation that I am really lacking some focus lately. Hehehe.)

An Open Note to China

Mike Enriquez on Jessica Sanchez:

'Para sa mga kaibigan nating Chinese, nililinaw lang natin na si Jessica Sanchez ay Pilipina. Baka kasi angkinin nyo na naman ito.'

Hehehe. Katuwa lang.

Update: Jessica is now one of the two American Idol finalists. Tomorrow, she'll be performing against Phillip Phillip. Jessica is an early favorite and I really hope she wins this season. I am not an American Idol fan but, hey, it's a Filipino who's about to win! And this is not just a simple contest. This is a worldwide phenomenon!

Better than camouflage

Camouflage is a method of concealment that allows otherwise visible animals, military vehicles, or other objects to remain unnoticed by blending with their environment. Examples include a leopard's spotted coat, the battledress of a modern soldier and a leaf-mimic butterfly. Camouflage is a form of visual deception...

The other day, I was waiting for my turn in a bank. It was a long line. The one in front of me looks like -- warning: stereotyping -- a homeless guy who looks like he doesn't care at all who's around him. He was carrying a plastic bag, which I first thought was just his packed lunch or something. When his turn came, he approached the teller and opened the plastic bag. It contained bundles of cash in 1,000's and 500's. If I have to guesstimate -- it's probably at least a million pesos. Holy effin' A!

The guy was 'wearing a camouflage' so effective you cannot see through him even if you have prescription glasses from GreatEyeglasses.com! I mean, he could be a serial killer and I wouldn't have a clue. He played with my pre-conceived notions of our society and it was way better than camouflage...
