Mood: discovered something shit
Now Playing: london, TWLOHA.

I miss my glasses. They snapped into two during the galera trip and i had to spend the entire 4-5 hour trip without my glasses. I slipped, stumbled, fell, bumped, flung myself upon every conceivable object. Going to the pier bathroom was the worst - i bumped into about 5 guys in there. Fuck, the last one even had a damn leather jacket on, and it was in the middle of summer. How could he last like that?

I've been attaching names to a lot of inanimate objects right now. For example, have you met Sophie, the laptop or Elizabeth, the iPod? I dunno. I read somewhere that objects (and this applies to real people, as people per se are objects also) take on the characteristic of their given name. We namers impart some of what we want to see on the ones to be named by giving them names. So for instance, if i take my name..

Daryl - is English in origin, and means "one who is greatly loved"

and

Kane - is Gaelic and means "the one who is a warrior". It also means "beautiful" in Welsh.

So, combining the two words together, we get Daryl Kane, the beautiful warrior who is greatly loved.

Now if you excuse me for a while as i go apply for a fucking name change.

I've been hearing all day about this "ako mismo" hype or the independence day hype or whatever hype the tv companies are calling it. Frankly, i don't get why they have to advertise it SO damn much or make a big fuss out of. In my opinion, it goes against what they're going for in the first place - they're saying change must start within us, we must start the revolution, pinoys are cool yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah i get that, i dig that. But change isn't going to come to people just because you flooded them with ads or corny music vids that frankly only rile up the people for a second. Change comes from seeing results, from concrete programs, from solid foundations, and that inspires the people into action, into doing something.

Also, as i see it, there is little difference between what we're doing today with some politicians' acts come election time - the ones who sing, dance and invite bands for "change". That so called "change" is meaningless and should be thrown in the trash. Said politicians must also be banned from the elections. If, as a candidate, one underestimates the worth of one's people by bombarding them with entertainment - singing, dancing - all done for the sake of capturing the masses' attention, then i recommend that the politician be banned from the elections AND all toilet privileges for a year. Hold your own damn shit inside your damn body man. Keep it all to yourself.

Don't get me wrong, i love being free as the next pinoy out there, and i love celebrating it the way a lot of mindless drones do. But i'm tired, okay. All this red tape and forgotten lies (remember the i am sorry incident? whatever happened to that?) shit - it's just so repetitive. Im dog tired. Im going for change, that's for sure. But i sure as hell won't wear it on my chest for crying out loud.

Change should come from one's own volition, and as i observe it, people are just joining the cause for the heck of it. I mean, who wouldn't when it's all you see in the tv nowadays? Change without substance is meaningless, and fadism is just a damn fallacious belief - it isn't logical.

But still. Dum spiro, spero. While i breathe, i hope.

I bumped into a chair again, and it hit me across the chest. And partida, naka salamin na ako niyan. ARGG.
