Noynoy's Rally, Cagayan de Oro City

-
The title pretty much sums this post up! Noynoy Aquino's rally started around five o'clock in the Divisoria kiosk. My family didn't go until six because my mom gets out of work six-ish. And we all dressed up in yellow, complete with matching Mar Roxas ballers (because we didn’t have a Noynoy one) and camera phones for snapping pictures to post on blogs, like any die-hard supporter.

Anyway, when we got there, the place was packed - it was a sea of people surrounding the kiosk, and there were even more people behind the kiosk, and even more people behind the people! (If I'm not making sense, that's because I haven't had breakfast yet.)

We settled with this comfy little spot in the crowd. It was comfy enough that we could see both the speaker and the image of the speaker projected onto this white screen.

Ralph Recto was the speaker when we got there. I must take time to mention his ballers, which I found quite amusing because not only do they say "I ♥ Ralph Recto,” but they also say “I ♥ Gov. Vilma Santos-Recto.” Hahahaha. That's Pinoy campaigning tactics for you!

I regret not coming early enough to catch Risa Hontiveros's speech though. She is such an inspiration!

Anyway, I'll let the blurry pictures speak for themselves, since I am at a loss for words right now.

This was such a great opportunity for me. Seeing the future president of the Philippines in person - wow!

Noynoy is one person who gives me hope. Hope for our country, and that Noynoy's victory in the elections will be that first step we take towards ending corruption... I'm confident that one day, the Philippines will be as rich as, or even richer than, the United States of America.

Padayon, Pilipinas :D

summer plans

I found out yesterday from Alessi that our last exam is on the 23rd! (Yeah, I haven't gotten around to checking the March calendar yet.) My flight's on the 26th (with Gerard! ), so that gives me three extra days of ~COMPLETE IDLENESS~ woohoo. So anyway. I'm really excited to go home. It's just two weeks though, and after that, TWO MONTHS of summer classes. Which means I'll have to fly all the way back to sweltering Manila to take up the TWO SUBJECTS that I and the rest of the Health Sci majors are required to take. Gahh. I can feel the heat waves reverberating towards me from the future. Right. Lest I digress any further, here are some of my (our) ~summer plans~ roflmao March:  Go home and be happy as a bee for two weeks! April-May: Take Psychology and German. -_- Take the Carlos Celdran tour around Manila! n_n Sign up for PAWS! At last! Light up some environmentally destructive floating lanterns, and then later lecture everyone on how they've just...

women superheroes

A lot of my close friends are boys. Boys who like comic books. I hang around them a lot, and usually we talk about random things like physics and foreigners and lobsters having no pain receptors. We went to watch The Amazing Spiderman on a whim just recently. It was fun. Sometimes it's not so fun. I used to get a lot of sandwich jokes until those stopped being funny. Now I get "d'oh you're a girl so of course you hate comic books" jokes. I don't hate comic books. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman . And Walking Dead, too. And Scott Pilgrim!!! But I don't read superhero comics. It's hard to be interested in them when most, if not all, of the superhero women 1.) have gigantic breasts, 2.) wear sexy clothing, and 3.) are always in stereotypically feminine poses. What if the male characters posed like the female ones? (c) Kevin Bolk And look at that. Why can't the men wear clothes as revealing as the women, or women wear clothes as concealing...

Box O' Rice

To be honest, I don't even remember if it's called Box OF Rice, or Box O' Rice. I hope it's Box O' Rice. It just sounds cooler that way. But anyway. I went there last Friday for dinner, and it was my first time there. It's a cozy little place right next to my dorm, and they serve exactly what their name implies: boxes of rice. Boxes of rice with toppings, of course. Emphasis on the word "boxes." Which means there are no plates involved. Which means you can bring the boxes in and out of the store as you please. I should've noted this earlier, because I embarrassed myself at the counter, telling the cashier TWICE that I wanted my box of rice "to go." Durrr. Boxed na. To go pa. Anyway, the food itself is good, for P60-P70 priced meals. My only complaint is that their meat-to-rice ratio needs a bit more tweaking. There's just so much rice, and so little of anything else! That's Pinoy portioning for you. Actually, the store don...
