internet university

• Facebook would be a middle-aged woman using company time to play text-based games and sending people invites to shitty applications.

• Twitter would be a self-righteous douchebag with a speech impediment.

• Myspace would be 13 year old brat, doing free advertising for porn stars and their friend’s shitty bands, be covered in stickers of “sparkly” cartoon bimbos (that resemble transvestites), butterflies or some shit. It sure as fuck wouldn’t be using headphones because it’s rare to see a myspace page where annoying music doesn’t turn you away.

• Wikipedia would be getting molested by hundreds of thousands of random hands.

• Deviant Art would actually be a 19 year old guy drawing generic anime characters, furries, and slutty pictures of their favorite cartoons.

• Youtube would just be a picture of Dustin Hoffman from Rain Man. He has a special talent but everything that comes out of his mouth is just flat out retarded. But only if Rain Man was edited with Windows Movie Maker, and if Barry Levinson called himself “LevDog420 Studios”

• Google would be a guy hard at work in a trendy lab eating a free lunch and using a pile of money for a chair. In beta.

seems like i don't belong somewhere, the nearest category would be twitter and facebook cos im a certified sucker of both sites.

1986, when the historical snap election finally ended the dictatorship hailing Cory Aquino as the new president of the Philippine republic. that year, my generation wasn't there to witness how the people were united and the chase for freedom in such a long time was over. then, when Pres. Cory had her last SONA in 1991, i was months old and when she left the position, i was 2-yrs old but in no stage of remembering what the fuss is all about. few days ago, when one of our professors told her story about their years of experience during the Aquino regime and she expressed how unfortunate we were for not being part of it, she was displeased by the fact that we're on an entirely different leadership now--that we are exposed to bad examples and chronically poisoned society.

neither can i come up with an inspirational story about her in my own nor write something distinctive about how is she to me. i guess everything that's left to say has already been told and the most memorable moments with her has been articulated. the family spoke the depth of their gratitude for the unwavering support and love given by the community so as their intention to continue the advocacy of their parents. as Kris said, it would take a lifetime to get over with the death of their mother--our mother--and im pretty sure most filipinos sympathize with her in that statement. hence it would really take a lifetime not just to move on but also to find someone who in some way will give pride to the country and someone who's selflessly willing to give up her own life for the sake of others. since when have we ever thought of helping others before our own pleasure? what's the least that we could do for our country without the share of selfish thoughts?

the very recent reason why i admire her was because i love her diction, lame but who doesn't. when i saw the documentary of her speech in the white house, i guess, one thing that made me listen and understand what she's saying is the way she speaks the language. it was only last week when i knew that she garnered so many recognitions and finished school abroad. Cory Aquino is a big part of my history classes from elementary until college, im certain about her as a good leader and an initiator of numerous rallies during her time. i knew her as a historical figure and a true-blue filipino.

you're downright numb and shamefully worthless if you didn't break your heart or shed a tear after the eulogy, after hearing the speeches and after seeing how everyone do their last respect to the dear president. i'll be sad also if by chance, you didn't realize something after the exuberant inspirational thoughts was expressed. moreover, i'd be sorry for you if greatly loving your mother more didn't cross your mind. or if until now, you still don't have good vibes of being a filipino. most importantly, if you're still in doubt of your faith to God.

this journey has settled many misconceptions i endure half of my life, i've pondered a lot and my faith was regained. her death not just gave me more knowledge about her but gave me the reason to understand, love and wish for a better life. i can't further describe my concrete feeling, maybe saddened and thankful. let's just put it that way. <3
