This New Year’s Day (or Jan 01, 06), while happily left at home eating hotdogs and graham cake and, of course, indulging myself with nonstop TV, I came into a movie about the movement for women’s suffrage in America led by Alice Paul. I was not familiar with her but I was intrigued by the story. They were openly persecuted, harassed and even put to prison for petty charges just because they wanted to be treated equally and to be represented in their government by their votes. As I was watching I was thinking, how far have we really come from that?
They probably spent years fighting for the right to vote. Today, voting is a hassle and a sham to those pessimistic or realistic enough to know that their single vote won’t matter since everyone cheats. (When’s the next election? Why am I so outdated?)
I just realized there is still nothing worthwhile happening with the ‘Hello Garci’ scandal, just as I expected. Are they just waiting for us to forget it? Fair enough. Welcome to the new year.

Honestly, I don’t really know what to write about or what to furiously thump the keyboard with to the beat of the blaring music from my earphones. I live in a world of my own in my approximately 1 by 1 m cube lined with unnecessary items that account for how much of nothing I’m currently absorbed with.
But here, when it rains it pours. Have I ever told you how much I love rain?

The holidays just wore off and THANK GOD! As for my year-end vacation filled to the brim of TV, books and perennial boredom, I prefer being at work beset with the same eyestrain and mind numbness. At least I got out of the house!
But my holidays weren’t really as bleak as it felt most of the time. There were two major BB event that I got to be at, that would have probably been the peak of the last week for me (it actually felt longer). Thanks to Kim for indulging my hare-brained insanity of staying at the Intramuros walls ‘til wee hours of the morning blabbing about almost everything and nothing at all. I also got to spend a night with SIYAM (or at least, chuck, jmi, lex and rej) who (all of them) slept through most of the night and early morning of our movie marathon. (yes, this is my pathetic attempt at updating you with my life…)
Mainly, that’s what my holidays consisted of, movies - alternate realities. Not that I’m complaining or anything but how much can a person handle without his/her brain turning to mush. And I think that did happen.
