Five minus two is three...

Only three days of school this week. The two days swallowed by both the SONA of the Freshident of the Republic of the Philippines. And I couldn't believe the teachers squeezed the three days and tormented us with their lessons and activities of two weeks.


Anyway nothing better's going to happen with me whining a lot.

A cellphone text quote of this post:


If
STUDY=NO FAIL
and
NO STUDY=FAIL

Then,
STUDY+NO STUDY=FAIL+NO FAIL
By factoring:
STUDY(NO+1)=FAIL(NO+1)
Divide both sides by (NO+1)

...

STUDY=FAIL

Will you still study?

Kyaaaa...!!! (Link for SONA 2006)

Damn! Opera's messing with my blogging experience. My previous post got messed up. Got to edit through Firefox. (I've got the right to switch browsers, too. So what? Besides I both use the browsers, not just for personal reasons, but I'm also testing my website for holes between browsers.)

Anyway, if you would like to keep update on the SONA of the Filiffine president (pardon), here's the link:

Miss Universe 2006, Storms (again), SONA

I congratulate Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza of Puerto Rico for grabbing the title of Ms. Canada in being Ms. Universe. Though I admit on voting to Ms. Japan for the Ms. Universe 2006 (since the crowd went wild when her country was called upon by the announcer and my country's girl just won Ms. Photogenic, everything went well in my house.

Well, another storm surged last night, causing me to go back to my bed this morning. A tropical storm swept the very north east of the Philippines and crossed through the Philippine area of responsibility. With strong winds and rain last night that caused severe flooding in Luzon, classes were suspended.

At first I thought classes were suspended due to the SONA [state of the nation address] by the (un)lovable president of the Philippines. But then either reason would just be the effect of suspension of classes.

========

And I can't believe they would suspend my favorite programmes on TV to give way to the speech. That may probably be a good reason to hate the president more, besides the electiorial tampering, the unresolved issue of the economy, and murder of political enemies. Yes, again, she shall stand at a platform to speak her nonesense, pointless and fictitious reforms, promises, and things that she had done on her presidency. And she didn't even cared about the bad things she did on her presidency.

While I have no idea as to what shall she speak on this year's SONA, what is sure, she shall have it every year until 2010 (maybe.)

Weather



The storm as of July 13, 2006. Doesn't look like a storm to me. But devastating.

Calamity

Tuesday. July 12, 2006. In the morning I was greeted with rainy days. Thought it was just rain. Continued to school.

Wednesday. July 13, 2006. Our classes were cut to noon. Strong rains that has caused numerous floods were the reason. We have to be evacuated or else we would be going home drenched in flood water with rat fink, mosquito eggs, and salmonella. Also reports of landslides in a favourite tourist spot, Baguio. No casualties yet, but a barangay offcial* got buried in one of the landslides. Sigh of relief and despair.

Thursday. July 14, 2006. Just found out that there are no classes, because the government had declared it. The reason is a typhoon had hit. Just found out that there was actually a typhoon hitting right now.

The barangay official* guy is dead. And also two children who gut buried alive last night. More landslides happening around the whole north of the Philippines, mostly in Baguio. Strong rains also prevail. Landslides in my head as I sigh of more despair.

Until I've got more reports on what the heck is happening while the typhoon is still around, I'll stay infront my TV and keep watching. You should as well.

Too much to do

I can't believe I'm already fourth year high. And because of that I've got truckloads of school work. I wasn't even able to remember (or even jot down) my grand entrance in the first day of school. Everything in my mind was virtually wiped out becaused of the landslide.

I'm yet to recover. I apologize.

June

Just a little sight of that word (or just hearing it, even in small amounts) makes my ears cringe, my mouth froth, my nose bleeed, and it makes me want to break furniture. Especially when I have just seen the words April and May.

In my country, June is the sign of havoc. Virtually everything starts getting screwed up when the month's coming looms. Protests over senseful and pointless things pile up, people's heads get hotter, crime rates increase, June brides and June bugs pop up. But the most excruciating thing that has to come up in June is the return of classes. Yes, back to school. June here is time for brats, geniuses, bullies, rich bastards, hip-hop people, geeks, nerds, and lots of other weird types of students to go back to school to learn, thrash about, waste their lives in studying, or just make other's lives a living hell (Pardon me. I'm just being ironic.). From here on I shall start hearing lessons and sermons from teachers, principals, and school directors all over again. I shall experience another beating in life, not just from the studies the "terrorists" shall dump upon students like me, but also the possibility of getting beaten by retarded bullies, as well as the games of "foul word hurling" and "insult throwing" that many will play onto everyone else's lives.

Even before June's doom stepped into the world, it's chaotic symptoms were already felt here. Political killings shot up as high as you could think of. Prices of everything (petrol, wet market, dry market, stocks, transportation, etc.) had gone so haywire that virtually everyone couldn't afford almost anything, except a square meal every other day or so. With so much suffering this country has suffered, there were threats of destabilization, protests, rebellion, and impending doom. Even so, there is no way of preventing or curing the tornado of problems that is pestering this world.

And yet I have still managed to survive.

(Happy Wedding to those who are planning to be June brides and bugs.)
