2010 National Election is over and we already have the partial results. I am just happy that my bet for presidency is leading but quite anxious because my vice president isn’t. I do hope they both will win. I had enough of those ridiculous remarks against my bet but it is obvious that people like him more than others. He may not be experienced. He may not have a long list of all the bills that he passed during his term in the senate. He may not have a long list in his educational background but I believe he is the right person for the position. If others are looking at the curriculum vitaé of the candidates, not me. Afterall, this is not an employment screening. Regardless if you’re a university drop out or a housewife, you can run the nation if people want you.

Competence is not a big deal in politics. What became of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo? She is more competent (intellectually and educationally) than former President Joseph Estrada. She made her way to have Estrada ousted from his seat so that she can govern and show her competence. Did I say competence? Yes, Arroyo’s competence in CORRUPTING people’s money. She is so knowledgeable on the ways to get money from the government. She is very intelligent to think of BIG TIME projects that her family especially the first gentleman could benefit. Projects that costs BILLIONS of pesos with kickbacks for the Arroyo family and her “alipores” that also cost billions. GMA is intelligent enough to do anything for her to remain in power despite of the fact that people are not happy with her administration. Sa sobrang competent ni Gloria, kayang-kaya nyang paikutin ang mga tao.

Do we need another “brilliant” man in the Malacañang? Do we need another “competent” and experienced president? I would rather go for a person who have no track record of corruption. Who has been brought up and taught with good manners (that is very important in being a leader) and has a kind heart for the people, who don’t use the less fortunate to win the sympathy of others. That’s all we need for now. We’ve had so much of Gloria’s competence. It’s time that we have a president with a different perspective.

..yes, I really am! I can’t help but search the web for new beaches in Samal Island for more than an hour now. I found something interesting and I wanna go there now or tomorrow! I heard about Ilihan Beach Resort even before when I was still working and looking for a beach resort where we could hold our Summer Outing. I can’t remember what happened that we decided to try Isla Reta then. Oh well, nothing beats Isla Reta for me. But I wanna try something new so Ilihan Beach Resort must be worth trying because it passed my standards for beach resorts – underrated. Now I am waiting for my sister Carol if they wanna go so we’ll be off to Samal Island tomorrow. I just hope it’s not congested as what I’ve read in the reviews and seen in the photos.

Whew! Post marathon early in the morning! I wasn’t able to work on it last night so I am making up for my absence. Need to do as much as I can because of this…

and this…

A few more weeks and I’ll get my hands on those loots.

Photos are grabbed from Faye’s flickr® but not everybody could see her stream now so if you wanna reward yourself from working hard, check out Faye’s blog. Shopping again? My Coach bag is late birthday gift, the DKNY watch is a late Holiday gift and the Lacoste beach bag is a late Valentine gift.hahaha. Is that enough justification?

Since we’re done with shopping for our clothes late last year, it’s accessories this time. Of course I don’t wanna go out and look like a person from the cave – without an eye for fashion like wearing floral capri and stipes top or checkered bermuda shorts and stripes top (both in dark colors that doesn’t complement with each other) with printed bag in bold colors. Ewww! Where did the basic in dressing up that is taught in Home Economics during 5th or 6th grade go? Regardless if we don’t have lots of money, even if we don’t have insurances like disability insurance and the like, as long as I and Ace does not look like a WALKING RUG (imagine the rug made of scrap cloth in different colors), we’re fine. It’s looking good and feeling good that matters regardless if it’s branded or brand-less (though I prefer those with brands now because of its quality and it is not overly mass produced).
