Ok, I'm back... so relish it while you can!

Anyway, I'm technically free and now I'm leisurely perusing the internet for many stories and stuff that I've almost deprived myself of since... wow, since the start of the semester. Anyhoo, now I can actually feast myself with lots of eye-candy (clothes, mostly) and digest relevant (and irrelevant) information.

What I'm gonna be talking right now is this article that I've just read from Inquirer (the formal news source I go to for anything Philippines-related). a lot has already transpired, actually, like the bombing incident at glorietta, the apparent assissation of a Zamboanga congressman. yeah, we going thru some rough times over there. the most recent political issue right now is the failed coup attempt of a former-soldier-now-recently-elected senator.

on to my story. what really made me rub my temples in disbelief is this . the government is holding the allotted P100M pork barrel (funds for goverment projects) of said renegade senator. the heck, P100M?!?!?! that much money?!?!??! for what?!?!?!? i didn't know the philippines had that much money! and considering this money is just for ONE senator. multiply that by the number of senators (24!), that's P24,000,000. not counting the many people in the house of representatives. NO FREAKIN WONDER WE ARE IN SO MUCH DEBT!

its just freakin annoyin.
