but sometimes i feel like i'm turning someone opposite who i was when i was younger...
i'm definitely more vocal and confrontational now...
and i seem to be more into politics. when before, i was as apolitical as anyone could get.
case in point: carlos celdran's blog.
there's this discussion about noynoy and i've been quite active. here is one of my 4 (?) comments in the discussion:
(this was in response to someone else's comment... i know you don't agree but anyways... :) )
Pres. Cory was an honest, simple transparent leader. Was she a good leader? Did she curb corruption? Not really -- or not at all.
So, let's stop assuming that incorruptibility = good leader. And also stop assuming that great credentials = corrupt.
Let's think of the genius of the "and"... Let's look for someone with both good character, AND good leadership skills.
Too idealistic? Perhaps. But it seems too early to just say "eh wala nang iba eh. He would be the best. He's the ONLY clean politician." It's a bit cynical and unfair.

I love it that you are so vocal. You present an argument waaay better than most of the anonymous voices there. :o)
i totally agree with you! what's worse about the whole noynoy thing is it's obvious that the other TRAPOs in his group are just riding on his "clean pulitiko" image to further their own personal gain.
i, too, won't give up in looking for a good president, both in credentials AND image.
wow thanks carlos!!! that one statement might actually just make me a tad more vocal haha.
neva, haha i'm not surprised we're on the same page again... can i quote you from your email this morning? i want to pay tribute to the couple, even if i don't know them.
exciting times for our coutry... change is good...
i think it's important that you speak up about the things that you feel strongly about. :)
as william stafford said: "it is important that awake people be awake/or a breaking line may discourage them back to sleep"
re: the email, go ahead dear. i just hope there weren't any grammatical errors! lol!
okay thanks nevs :)
