When the meek speaks

 What do you feel when a famous person you looked up to suddenly speaks about a controversial topic about our nation? If you have same thoughts, you will be ecstatic. If you have different view, then you will be disappointed.

Buti na lang it’s the former instead of the latter one.

When Ely Buendia asked about the reunion, he said this:

When I read this, I was a little bit confused and didn’t know if I will believe he actually tweeted this. I’ve been a fan since God knows when. You can search Ely here in my blog and it will bring you hundreds of post about him. I mean it’s quite out of his character to tweet like this.

Ely is not known to promote a candidate lalo na a candidate for President. He is vocal with his ideologies on twitter but to be very straight forward and very open about his choice for presidency is something unusual.

I know when he tweeted this, the reunion is just a joke. Na kahit tumakbo si leni, reunion is quite impossible for now. But I am so happy he said this. It gives me a lot of hope in life.

And when he actually visited Leni to give the Eraserheads vinyl limited edition, I am over the moon.

It shows na he is really serious about supporting her.

When someone like him becomes very vocal about what’s happening in our country, it means something is really wrong and we must take action. I mean, he is very successful, with millions of pesos, he can just stay quiet and never leave his ivory tower. But he didn’t. He is making his voice be heard not only sing songs, but make a stand to something he thinks is right. 

When you have to choose between good or evil- always choose good

 

Why do we have to complicate things. Even a kindergarten students know the basic concept of what is good and what is evil. When facts are laid in front of your eyes, do you still look around and have second thoughts?

Ok, you might. You might want to double check, or triple check. But where do you validate? Do you check it in reliable sources such as books, online sites from media, or from ordinary people without references, to TikTok or YouTube videos that can be easily manipulated?

Why do we still choose a person with tainted character where there is an option to choose a respected person? Why do we need to overthink this? Why do we need to fight each other when clearly there is an obvious answer.

I am not saying all problems will be solved once we choose the good one. But this is the first step in achieving such goals. 

HOPE. If ever there’s a word that I will be using more this following months, that’s the word.

Here we go again

Oh, it’s been a while…

What’s happening? A lot apparently. 

It is still pandemic. Still working from home for almost 2 years now. I don’t even know how to wear pants. 

As a nation, we are still struggling. From making dalgona coffee in the early days of lockdown, to being plantito/tita, to Duterte saying a presidential candidate is a cocaine addict.

Whoa. That’s a lot to ponder. 

Well, for now I am just going to say that the future is kind of blurry. The result of the upcoming elections will bring different decisions for the future. 

Why? Because everything is political. 

From the moment we wake up til the color of what we will wear. 

Oooh I have lots of things to say. Been out for a very long timeeeeeeee.

Where to start?? 

I’ll start this by saying, things might not end up the way we’d like to be. The end might not be good. But hope is there in the shadows.
