National Day of Mourning

WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES

home of

a boxing champ (turned politician),

a beauty queen (who can't answer a beauty queen question properly),

untapped musical talent,

the world's most untrained cops,

"free press" (so free that they can give a blow by blow account of every classified detail)

is this what we want to be known for?

*we wouldn't have a national day of mourning if everybody had done their jobs right.

Song of the Day: Everybody Out of the Water (by The Wallflowers)

That's blood, that's tears

This ain't a warning,

Everybody out of the water

And up on dry land

Take what you can

Cause you won't be here again.

forgiven not forgotten

i am only human.

and not the kind who forgives easily.

if i DO forgive easily, you should sleep with one eye open.

forgiven not forgotten

i am a very patient human being.

but like everything else, patience runs out and i am not the kind who forgives easily.

if i DO forgive you, remember to sleep with one eye open.

ever read The Godfather, or at least Greek Mythology?

good, you get to live it.

brace yourself.

Song of the Day: GWB (by Lily Allen)

Look inside,

Your tiny mind.

Then look a bit harder,

cause we're so uninspired.

So sick and tired.
