Oh ayan Trillanes sikat ka na, masaya ka na?!
‘PICTURE, PICTURE.’ A group of Singaporean tourists poses in front of the bullet- riddled Manila Peninsula hotel Friday, a day after government forces quelled an attempted uprising by a group led by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, who demanded that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo step down.

Bwahahaha!

I hate how my initial reaction to the Trillanes' coup was. I actually thought any movement against GMA was 'acceptable'. For a moment, I didn't look at the bigger picture. Although I felt pity for the Pen and its PR Manager, who was our client before, I didn't think of its effects on a macro level right away. How fucking stupid can I get?!!
First of all, when I heard about the coup, I didn't even know Trillanes won in the elections. I thought he was still this idiotic military leader who wants attention. This is what happens when you don't watch TFC regularly, but watch TV series like House instead. I'm so irritated at myself now.
Anyway, while reading every update on Inquirer's website and seeing the videos too, that's when it hit me. "This is f**** bad. " Whoever reads the Inquirer site regularly will find it rather amusing how so many 'exciting' news is posted online. "Glorietta blast. Erap pardons GMA. Congress blast. And now, the Makati Standoff". Man, this is not f*** amusing AT ALL. It is HORRIBLE! Even that's an understatement already. I mean, what the hell is happening to our country?!!! This might be surprising but right now, I actually hate not being there.
I told Tatoff that I feel bad whenever I can't be there whenever my friends need me - when they're in a rut, when they feel like shit and when everyone seems to be turning against them. Likewise, I want to be there for my country "through thick and thin". But no, I'm here working my ass off for egomaniacs and selfish buttcracks.
I know someone who voted for that ass who seems to love bringing his soldiers to posh hotels. According to him, he voted for that butt because he thought he could make a difference without doing that mutiny hullaballoo again. But I told him, "You shouldn't expect people to change just like that. You can't teach old, stupid dogs new tricks."
Anyway, I felt so bad last night when I heard about the curfew. Whatdafuck. This is REALLY bad. Not only for our image worldwide, but for the country's people as well. Some might be already panicking, thinking of their escape. Some might have just given up on their fight. Some may just be preparing to wage the war. Either way, I feel like there's a ticking time bomb wrapped around the country. Any minute now, it can explode and all hell will break loose. Of course, I'm hoping and praying that this won't happen.
I said a sincere prayer for our country last night. Well obviously because that's the least and best thing I can do. It's not like I can hold a rally at the Philippine Embassy here. I'm sure most of the Filipinos here wouldn't even care since they're all caught up with being a workaholic as well. Also, most Filipinos here will be just so petrified at the Singapore police. Sometimes I wish we feared authorities that way too. Oh well, such is life.
Okay I don't know what else to say. It's Bonifacio Day but I'm not so sure if what he fought for was even worth is anymore. I'm more of a Rizal fan but lately, it seems like no other peaceful means can work to topple such a monster leader. Maybe Trillanes was pretending to be a modern day Bonifacio. But that would be an insult to such a great hero. So Boni, if you're listening, can you please chop off Trillanes and his comrades' dicks for me? Thanks and Happy Bonifacio Day.
UPDATE: A Singaporean officemate just asked me what is it with the Philippines and the coup that he read in the front page today. I don't know why but I was a bit teary eyed while telling him about it. Haaayyyy.
