They are merely sentences but connected to form a complete and concrete thought where in the difference with prose as we all know is that prose is in paragraph form.

yellow: a symbol of courage, freedom and new hope.

Since the expected arrival and known assassination of our hero Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr., the yellow ribbon has been a custom symbol of hope to us Filipinos. As what I've heard from my parents and other people, upon knowing that Ninoy was arriving on August 23, 1981, people started to tie a yellow ribbon on the posts on the streets to signify that he is indeed is much welcome in coming back of our country. He is welcome to come back since he is the only hope of our lost country. The hope from a tyrant leader who wants to be the supreme being of our country forever. Upon his death, people became more aware of what is happening. many demonstrations were held just to protest his death and the change that the people want to see. Due to this, a snap elections was held. The yellow ribbons became alive again upon the candidacy of the late President Cory Aquino. The election was held and cheated. Marcos won. The people where so angry about the results that they flocked to the EDSA and started a peaceful revolution that overthrew the Marcos Administration. Since then, the yellow ribbon was used as the symbol of the Aquinos', freedom, courage and new hope.

August 1, 2009. this was the date that the Filipino people would never forget. This is the day that the saint of People Power has succumbed to her fatal illness. This began the yellow ribbon fever again. People, showing their grief upon the passing of the late president, started to place yellow ribbons on their house, cars and things. Also, on her interment, the streets were filled with yellow shirts, yellow ribbons, yellow streamers, yellow stickers and yellow confetti. Her passing started an uproar on the 2010 presidential elections. Her son, Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III, was pushed by many to be a candidate. he accepted the challenge on her mother's 40th day of passing. Upon declararing it, he topped all the surveys and placing the richest solon in the country in second place.

Some say he isn't fit to become a president. But many of us says he is our only hope. His fight shows the courage of the Filipino people to battle the corrupt and indecent administration and the almost possible winner, Manuel Villar. He showed that even money can't buy the trust of the people. Freedom is the other thing shown by his fight. The liberation from the old bad ways of our government, shown in his ad "Hindi Ako Magnanakaw." Last and the most imporant, new hope. His bid showed us that there still a person who is capable of good morals who can take care of our country. The hope of the Filipino people lies on him, the hope of a new Philippines. A Philippines that is better, peaceful, united, strong, confident, and honest.

The Philippines indeed is in no need of a president who is neither extremely intelligent nor poor. The Filipino people is smart at nature, he can survive everything,an example of this is the Ondaoy and Pepeng disaster. We only need a person who has the wisdom,that came from God, to help him understand the situation of his fellowmen, and the good morals and track record of being non- corrupt.:)

laying my cards on the table

If I were to vote (I'm turning 18 this November. Send some gifts!) this coming May 10, 2010 general elections, these are the people who I am going to vote for just a simple reason.They can give hope to the people because we don't really need a president who is very smart or came from a so- called poor family and nowadays, Filipinos are smart, we only need a guiding hand to push us into action. So here's the list.:)

NGU:

President: Noynoy Aquino
Vice- President: Mar Roxas
Senators: LP Straight..:)


Well, that's straight Liberal Party. And for my province, Cavite.:)

LGU:

Governor: Osboy Campaña
Vice- Governor: Cantimbuhan
Board Member: none
Congressman: Pidi Barzaga(No choice. He doesn't have an oponent. If he has an oponent, He'll still be my bet. What are schoolmates for?haha. But seriously, he made way for the urbanization of our city.:))
City Mayor: Jenny Barzaga
City Councilors: actually, none.

weirdness attacks!

Last night I posted about some things about me but I just remembered that I haven't posted weird facts about me. So let's start listing?:)

1. When I am speaking and thinking, I don't say ""ahm..ahm.gan'to po kasi..ahmm" instead I just look at something, probably the person asking me, my classmate or the ceiling.

2.During exams, when I'm thinking on what should I answer, I look up into the ceiling or bite the cover of my pen. Yucky isn't it but some of my highschool friends thinks that my biting thing works since I usually get the right answer.

3. During exams and I really don't know what to answer, I just simply predict an answer and 97% of my predicted answers are correct.:)

4. I really don't have any standard on buying my clothes,except for the brands. I pick my clothes based on my current mood. I said this line one time: "Ayoko ng madaming print. Gusto ko konti lang.(When I got a non- printed shirt) Ayoko nyan, walang buhay.Walang print." It's like this, I may hate the shirt today but maybe next week maybe I'll buy it.

5. Sometimes I buy some things that I like for a month or two then after using it once, I'll just put it somewhere. Perfect example of this scenario are my shoes. My brown old- school shoes. I just used it once then I hate wearing it now. Another is my rugged- type shoes. I used it and when I arrived at school I felt that I need to change it but I haven't.

6. When I crave for food, it lasts for about a week. Even if I already ate it. The longest food crave that I had was the california maki that lasted for about three weeks.

7. I usually get lower grades on subjects that I love than the subjects that I don't somewhat like. This is only contrary to History.xD

8. I love social studies since first grade. But I hate Philippine History and Economics.

9. I can't simply move on with some people and things. Sometimes I stop moving.

10. I hate k-pop songs.

11. I watch k-pop music videos on myx just to annoy myself.xD

12. For me, it's much easier to study English than Filipino. I love to speak English than Filipino. I just can't do it regularly since there would be confusion for some people.

13. When I talk to myself, I speak in English.

14. I consider my cute dog as a bad luck.xD

15. I broke a cellphone by accidentally dipping it on a canal during my birthday.

16. When I'm in a bad mood, I smash my old motorola phone on the wall, my bed or floor.

17. I love things that are not common to people.

18. I don't like lechon but I like lechon kawali and lechon paksiw.

19. My newest mannerism is pinching my nose.

20. When I like something, I wouldn't use it or eat it right away.

21. During high school, I just study for long tests and periodic exams but now in college I study even for recitations and quizzes!

22. Sometimes, the only thing I'm not lazy to do is breathing.

23. When I smell that our comfort room smells like a cigar, whenever my relatives are here, I always do this: open the door, do some talking like "Ambaho naman, amoy sigarilyo," spary an aerosol whenever there is someone passing behind me.:)

24. I keep money that isn't common.xD

25. I've got a thing for money. In the first hold of the money, I could sense if there is something different like if it has some new inscriptions in it, symbols, font color.

26. Sometimes, I can control my dreams.

27. I hate being greeted on my birthday in front of many people. It makes me pissed off. That's the reason why my most hated day on the calendar is my birthday. I also hate redundant birthday greetings like a person would greet me 30 times that day.

28. My college friends doesn't really know my birthday. Only three of them, I think, knows my birthday.

29. I really don't have a favorite color. I just tell that my favorite color is blue, silver and black for the sake of stopping a non- sense communication.

30. I also don't have a favorite number. 4 is just the number that I always think of.

31. The regular life of earphones for me is 1 month. I don't know why.

32. I don't like things and to do things that common people do. I want to do extra-ordinary things or things that aren't common on my environment but common in better environment.

33. All of the things you have read are all cruel sick jokes.xD

34. Just joking about number 32. All of these things are real.xD

~ I'm missing L.A. very much. So I decided not to go to Honolulu this year but to California. It has been 11 years since my last visit. Obviously many things have changed there. I can't argue with this fact since I've enjoyed Hawaii very much that I wouldn't mind seeing LA for a long time. Now the time has come.California here I come, right back where I started from.:) May 21,22:30,
