independence day

As we are all aware, today is the Philippines' Independence Day. hmmm... Appropriate?! Did our ancestors REALLY become independent on june 12, 1898??? Obviously, no. Even today Filipinos experience lack of freedom and of equality almost everywhere. Let's face it. Power and money could turn the innocent to guilty and vice versa. I wish that that IS a lie, *sigh* you know as well as I do it isn't. I hate it.

sana shape lang talaga yan ng Pinas. hindi status symbol. beggar.
wow.

Shift to another 'Independence Day'. It's a song by Barbie's Cradle. :)

If you disagree, I'd choose you over me
This way I'd keep the peace
Keep me inside, don’t turn off the light
'Cause without you how can I breathe

Independence day is not for me
When I'm bound to you, I feel so free

Pretend that I'm a deer, travelling any year
I need you desperately
Night and day I roam you need to take me home
'Cause on my own I can't see, yeah

Here are all my keys, enter as you please
North, south, west, center, east
Teach me not to hide in the deadly walls of pride
Speak to me gently

Nice. :)

You're right about us Filipinos lacking freedom because of power and money.

By the way, I hope you have fun at the university. Write about it, okay? I'm scared too. You're lucky you don't need any uniform for your school.

Yeah, you're right. Uuuhhmmm... I think our minds are still filled with colonial mentality because most of us don't really buy Filipino products. Hahaha. I admit I don't buy them too. Hahaha. I like imported stuff.
