As much as possible, I refrain from reading newspapers or watching the evening news. I can't bear to read or watch reports saying that the country is going downhill, and fast. UP economists have predicted that we will be the next Argentina in two years time. Even the President cannot deny the fact that we are indeed in the middle of a financial crisis and admitted it to the public, hoping to generate support for her new tax measures. All the hype about progress and change during the campaign period gone to naught. Although i really didnt set my hopes high when the roster of presidential aspirants were officially announced.

A major irritant (and dumbass, if I may say so) who caught my ire today, is none other than Cebu's beloved Serge Osmena. Inquirer columnist Bambi Harper wrote an open letter, asking him why, would he push for two bills that would change the name of streets while there are still a lot of more important bills pending and waiting for deliberation at the Senate! I really don't know where in hell did Serge Osmena get such a totally stupid idea such as that. People are in panic mode because of another oil price increase, and here is a supposedly intelligent legislator with his bills proposing to change street names! I dont want to believe that stupidity runs in the blood, I can still clearly remember the dumb retaliation of John Osmena to UP President Francisco Nemenzo as to why the premier University's budget should be decreased.
