EDSA to CAA

The issue about changing EDSA's name to "Cory Aquino Avenue" is too much. Hindi talaga ako sangayon sa panukala na ito. It's not that I'm disrespecting the late president and not recognizing what she did for our country but to change the historical name of Edsa is overboard. Tingin ko sapat nang igalang at kilalanin si Cory Aquino o kaya sana ay mag patayo ng isang magandang rebulto in her honor. 
think about this: How about we change the name of the statue of liberty? ... Bad Idea, right? because it is already written in the history and that is exactly the same with EDSA. Okay, Let's see, after changing the name EDSA to CAA (Cory Aquino Avenue), then after awhile, we found a new hero, a hero who contributed a lot for our country same as Cory did, should we change it again? It is like changing your username on facebook or twitter over and over again. 
On a layman's point of view, wala naman magbabago sa lugar na yun kung papalitan yung pangalan. Hindi naman mawawala ang traffic, ganun parin naman ang streets at hindi naman mawawala yung mga statue dun at nakatatak na sa lugar na yun  sa history ng pilipinas ang pangalang 'EDSA'. 
Why not improve the streets of EDSA instead? rather than changing it's name. 
more wider streets and more traffic officers etc.
Now, It still depends on the people and the government if they still insist to pass the bill to congress.

A real-life story of love until forever.

Earlier, while I was watching the evening news, a touching story caught my attention. It was about an old and wrinkled couple whom I think has the kind of love that we all want and admire. It started with an old lady waiting somewhere in the streets of Buendia. She wore an old dress which has a paper pinned both at the front and at the back. The paper has a picture of an old man and printed on top of that is the word 'MISSING', so with that, you can conclude that the man in the picture is missing and he must be  someone dear to the old lady. A passer-by saw and sympathized with her so he took a photo of her and posted it on Facebook, that's why it caught a lot of attention from the people including the media. When she was interviewed, she said that the old man is her husband and he was missing for weeks now. Because of the interview and the help of the many people who helped find the old man after weeks and weeks of looking, finally on a one heartfelt evening, they're finally reunited.  The old man was found lying on the streets and when the old lady saw his husband, She immediately stretched her arms towards him and hugged her beloved husband. 
The story really touched me. It's even beautiful than any well-known lovestory written by well-renowned writers because it happened in real life. It is something so rare that it makes me breathless and cry and smile at the same time. 
It showed that a love like that really exist in real life. 
That no matter how long and wrinkled you both are, the love will remain forever and it will continue to grow stronger through time.

A Bad Day In Ortigas

"Do you ever got stuck at traffic?" Now that is not so surprising, specially kapag rush hour at Friday night. So here's the story, My Mom and I decided to go to the Megamall at 2:30 in the afternoon, sumakay kami ng Fx going to ortigas. At first, wala kaming problem with traffic so we arrived at megamall after one and a half hour and when we got there we did our thing at the mall, you know the usual window shopping, (Not Literally... You know what I mean!) and we bought Christmas decors and then pagka tapos pumunta na kami sa terminal ng FX which by the way has a long line of commuters waiting for the FX. What really sucks is there are only 5 FX and at that treminal has 3 destinations and iisa lang and FX going to our destination. Buummer!. So we waited almost an hour and finally the FX came. I was so relieved that after standing for an hour I can finally sit down. So we climbed inside the van and sat on the back and after mapuno, umandar na yung Van. On the way outside Ortigas, was really really really really TRAFFIC! so after a few minutes it was starting to get really frustrating, like every time aandar ng konti... titigil agad. Siguro if paa yung gulong, mga 5 steps lang ang inandar, not just steps... baby steps! sitting at the back of the van started to get really hot, my legs are really hot... literally. because I have this thing that I called 'Hot Flushes' because a part of my body--my legs, most of the time--gets really hot that it akes me feel uneasy and I can't take it, so sitting there with no aircondition and no air made me wish I should've wore shorts instead of pants. So after hours of misery, like 3 hours or something, we finally got out of ortigas. Pag dating namin sa subdivision that we live in, made me so happy. 
The first thing I did when I entered my room, I took off my pants and drink cold water. 
I never want to go back to Ortigas at Rush hour on a friday night !!
