Madness.
The uprising in Manila Penn caused a 12am to 5am curfew in Metro Manila. So much for Marco's despedida.
The Makati Malls were once again plunged ito darkness. Just like the G2 bombing day.
Philippines, oh my dearest Philippines.
“Tiisin na lang natin si Noli dahil sa tingin ko naman Noli cannot be worse than Gloria to begin with,” - Pimentel
I wonder what could Noli do that could be worse done what Gloria has done. Erap walked out of Malacanang at the height of the Jose Pidal scandal. Gloria merely apologized when she cheated the 2004 elections.
Filipinos are just holding their breath, what crap would Gloria do next? Martial Law? Would Filipinos fight again when she declares a Martial Law? Filipinos are tired. We fought in Edsa 2001, just to be betrayed. GMA freed Erap. I guess she owed him her position. But she feels like she doesn't owe the Filipinos anything.
It's Christmas season, and 2008 will be here soon. 2010 will be here soon. Or her resignation I hope.

Snipped Gums, Expensive Medicine
I begged to delay the procedure for a year. So this year, I rounded up the courage to let my dentist aunt snip/cut my gums to let my last hiding wisdom tooth erupt. Half the wisdom tooth is already out, but the other half is blocked by my gums, so the gums have to give way for the tooth.
Despite the procedure being considered a "minor operation", it didn't hurt. I just heard the snipping of my gums but I didn't feel it. After the anaesthesia wore off, now that's when it hurt.
My aunt said I have to take Mefanamic Acid for a few days, 'til the pain subsides. Each 500g capsule costs Php 26.75. To be taken 4 times a day for about 3 days: 4 x 26.75 x 3=321 Okay. So there are more expensive medicines. But this is just a pain-reliever. The pain relief costs Php 0.074305 per second (Php26.75/ 6 hours/ 60 seconds). It's like campaign costs. You spend millions for your campaign, but it's really only Php 3 per Filipino.So maybe it's not that expensive.But relative to other medicines, this is expensive.To think that a Paracetamol/Loperamide really cures something, a pain reliever does not particulary cure something. Yet, the pain reliever is more expensive.
Maybe, I'm just being the kuripot me. Or given my pay grade level, a pain reliever is really expensive for me.
