While the nation is under threat of the Swine Flue and the World is at constant war with the recession, our senate is worried about a celebrity sex scandal. We act as if this is the first sex scandal that aired in our nation when dozens have been shown before. While farmers starve and walk a thousand miles to protect the lands that were promised to them our law makers think that the whole country can’t function if a case of infidelity is unsolved.

First of all, I do not understand why they compared this case to that of exploitation and human sex trafficking. I find a perverted man’s habit of taking a video of his unorthodox sexual habits to be no where near of the sex offenses that can even be likened to those. Looking at this case, the only fault I see in Hayden is taking those videos and not informing any of his partners that he was recording videos. What else can they charge him for? Sodomy (which is legal in the Philippines)? Untraditional forms of sex?

In my opinion, if there is a case that THE SENATE should be looking into  it should be against Hayden’s friends who took his laptop and hardrive and spread those videos of him. They’re probably guilty of theft, breach of intellectual property rights and invasion of private property.

Lastly, I said in the 2nd paragraph, I don’t think this is a case that a SENATE inquiry should be held for. Senate inquiries are for matters that deserve public attention because they are matters that concern the public such as the ZTE deal or CAR. From what I the things that I’ve heard on the radio, listening to the senate, I don’t really see a motive behind Bong Revilla’s complain besides getting some limelight and making himself look like a hero so he can get some public support for campaigning next year. How pathetic.

Just to say, I am all for women’s rights and female empowerment, but I do not believe this is a proper method or the proper opportunity to be fighting for it. Again, politicians are just using such activism and ideologies to their advantage just so they can keep their butts in those air-conditioned rooms that the people’s taxes pay for so they can pilfer more money from the already suffering nation. Again, Pathetic

Semestral break has been pretty boring but it has been at the very least a little productive. Let me begin by saying I PASSED ACCOUNTING! To the side you’ll see a shot of my “Individual program of study page” where you can see if you passed (P) or failed (F). We don’t know our grades yet but this has eased the tension quite a bit. I was pretty sure I was going to fail when I saw my fourth long test last Saturday and this has just taken a load off my shoulders! I might have a bonfire sometime this week and burn my Accounting book cause I have just been victorious against Venus Ibarra, the most evil department head of the Ateneo! hahahaha *shoots a frost bolt*

I’ve also started cleaning up my room. My room sort of reflects the stress level of my semester and by the looks of the aftermath, I was probably on the verge of getting an Ulcer from all the stress. I’ve had little progress though mostly picking up dirty clothes that have piled up. Now at least I have a space to practice latin ballroom when I get the urge to.

Every time I hear Keep Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis now I get the urge to move my hips in a figure-8 and dance rumba! I can’t wait till the club starts this November and this is going to be one of my new driving factors to go to school. Thanks to Osan Mendoza I now have a video of our Rumba performance last September 28! here it is I’m actually in the back row with PC here.

I just have to say before American Idol airs again tomorrow that I can’t get over last week’s great performances. I still find myself singing to Anyway by Kristy Lee Cook and Angels by David Archuleta. May I just also say that I really think that it was a good idea for itunes and American Idol to offer full studio versions of the performed songs and I really recommend that people download the performances from last week.

I really like feel good songs, it really keeps me going through college stress specially with my frequent depression attacks.

Here’s something I’d like to try here on the internet. I’m going to list my top 5 most inspirational songs in no particular order and why I like them. After blogging I’ll ask 5 more people to blog their 4 most inspirational songs and why.

1. “Anyway” by Martina McBride
   To tell the truth, I only heard of this song when Kristy sang it last week. Even though I’m not a fan of Kristy, I really liked the performance and the song.I like how this song tells you to do things even if no one appreciates them. The songs message is extremely noble and is something I want to live by.
2. Imagine by John Lennon
   I’m a person who believes in the power of positive thinking (well now I do). Imagine is simply a song that everyone probably knows and remembers.I remember I first heard this when I was in the 7th grade and my AP (this is filipino social studies/ history class) played this song in class. Though the lyrics are somehow controversial, it really made me question a lot of things and analyze the way I look at things.
3. Angel by Sarah Mclachlan
   This is a song that I think anyone will love. It’s that kind of song that really makes you relax and want to keep going when you’re tired from all the quizzes, deadlines and projects that you have to do
4. With a Smile by the Eraserheads
   It’s one of the iconic songs of the 90′s Philippine rock revolution. There’s just something about how you can sing this song anywhere and you’d feel better afterward.
5. Bad Day by Alvin and the Chipmunks
   Yes, not the Daniel Powter version. I like the chipmunks version cause within the first 5 seconds of the song you’ll find yourself smiling because it’s simply adorable!

Too make things less fun, my sister has suddenly become a shrew and decided to hog the Digicam. I won’t be able to take any first-day-of-school-photos or video blog for quite a while. That sort of leaves me with not a lot of creative things to do on the net… so bored.
