nous avons réveillé tot ce matin. nous sommes allé au EDSA mais on ne pourrait pas trouver quelque bus ni jeepneys. ils ont une grève. les rues étaient vide sauf pour les voitures privé. et puis pour les autres comme moi qui n'a pas de la voiture. on s'est rendu compte qu'on doit marcher. de mantrade à valero, je me suis reussi à arriver au travail 1 heure plus tard. nous avons eu de traverser un pont au EDSA. sur le pont, il y a des enfants des rues et d'autres mendiants (beggars). en fait, le pont était rempli de mendiants, des pauvres, des ordures (rubbish - cigarette butts, fastfood trash, et spit) .. eewww ..
je lisais le blog d'allan . des enfants des rues (streetchildren) les ont attaqué. imagines ça! allan et sa femme (jen) sont assez gentil créatures commes des fées. éthereaux comme les sidhes les dirigeants d'arcadie. ils sont philippin-chinois héhé.
j'ai remarqué qu'il y avait plusieurs grèves cette année. les pauvres apparaissent plus visible, plus violent, plus puissant .. pendant l'un des grèves à ayala avenue. j'allais chez moi. trois femmes m'a approché et elles m'ont demandé si j'avais des monnaie. j'ai souri et je les ai dit que je n'ai pas de l'argent. plus tard, un autre coin, une autre groupe de trois femmes m'a approché. elles m'ont demandé la même chose. ce temps, je les ai cri que leur compagnons étaient sur l'autre coté. c'est fou! n'est-ce pas?
when i see them roaming the streets. i ask myself if this is what our society thinks of what is humane. to have them be born and suffer a life of hunger, poverty, and dependence. is it not more humane if we had them not to have been conceived at all (via contraceptions). why are we allowing people who cant afford to have children, have children.
je me sens comme je suis dans la chanson EVE OF DESTRUCTION par mcguire barry. une bonne chanson .. si nous allons au karaoke ce weekend. je vais chanter cette chanson sans aucun doute.
The eastern world it tis explodin',
violence flarin', bullets loadin',
you're old enough to kill but not for votin',
you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',
and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
and marches alone can't bring integration,
when human respect is disintegratin',
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when your eturn, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, th pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Max, sorry to hear about this one.
Me too, I commute. Pinoy commuters' issues have always been ignored and disregarded by government.Very plain to see it's non-importance to them.
How can govt (DOTC) allow themselves to be dictated upon by somebody like Claire de la Fuente? How can govt. allow transport, jeepney (FEJODAP) organizations to dictate terms, and go scott free with their lawless operations without imposing a minimum standard of service. Worse, we see Claire doing a Carpenters duet with Pres.GMA in Malacanang with brother Richard Carpenter on the piyanoh... Ah, er..No, their singing is worst... Hehe.
As "for people who can't afford to have children, still have children", I believe that most of our poor in the country treat having children as creating their own gifts to themselves - treasures or "tanging yaman" as they say - a family they could have and cherish which is more important to them than anything else (even if they don't have money or anything to eat, as long as they have each other).
Really, we made a mess of the country - primarily Metro Manila as it became filthy, stinky, non-green, polluted, and so chaotic with heavy traffic flow and reckless PUV drivers (and not to mention those rally goers who clog the streets nowadays).
Soupir. Can't we just do something else better to voice our complaints rather than resorting to the formulaic and tiring rallies? Our government is thick-skinned and will always ignore such gatherings.
