Fantastic Poor

May 25th, 2006 by epoyz

i’ll tell you this much: our president may be on DRUGS, man!.. how else would you explain her latest regalement, her newest collection of astonishing tales of the fantastic?

i can hear dave chappelle’s white cop stereotype going : "..i think the bitch is on PCP, johnson.."

i saw her the other night on the news, inviting businessmen and investors and other corporate goons in joining her to the way towards an "Enchanted Kingdom", which is Philippines 2026. practically, she’s saying that with her on the helm the path is paved for our country to be a first world country in 20 years.

word?

are we being punk’d? when the fuck are you coming out, ashton?

but i gotta say, the enchanted kingdom bit, she made me chuckle right there. it helped me come to grips with the reality that she’s "making us bilog like kulangot" again.

by my modest estimate we are a good sixty years behind the technological, economical and whatever-you-have-ical advancements that first world countries enjoy. but hey, what the fuck do i know? well, we have almost first-world malls, i’ll give her that. but seriously. seriously? (christina yang, word up..) oh dear, now they’re just banking on us being THAT stupid.

hey, i ain’t bringin’ us down, i’m just keeping it real like randy jackson, dog. please understand, i can’t even attempt to taste this fantastic tale in my mouth, let alone swallow the whole damn thing, when i just found out a few weeks ago that the Philippines is now FOUR TRILLION in debt as of february. that’s four million MILLION, man. in february. before all this additional taxes began screwing us in the patootey.

and.

is it really true that this amount was only (oh my God, only…) two trillion in 2001? not to imply anything now, mind, but what significant event in Philippine history happened in 2001 again?

that’s right. i mean, how the fuck did we let this happen? it took 29 years for marcos, cory, eddie and erap to shore this debt up to 2 trillion, and we let it swell to twice that amount in five years of people power 2 Gloria-fication? how the fuck can we be so stupid to have allowed this to happen? how the freaking fuck did we install all these "public servants" who’s in charge of safeguarding our children’s future, for them to plunge us into this hole?

too late to point fingers here, i believe we’re all responsible for this. all of us, good men and women who did nothing, that’s what we are.

now, if they do find yamashita’s treasure and discover that it’s worth a bajillion googleion pesos then we’re in the clear. oh yes, yet another fantastic tale. along with the negotiations for the recovery of the marcoses’ ill-gotten wealth. recovery?

tanginanyopinapaikotikotnyolang at pinagpaplanuhankungpaanosasalamangkahin at paghahatihatianyanemgapunyetakayo.

so you think it’s possible we can be a 1st world contender in 20 years? hand me that joint and let your nigga take a hit, dog..

do i think this country’s hopeless? of course not. while we’re still breathing there is still hope. i believe in the filipino. we’ll figure this shit out. and a message to our countrymen abroad: keep doing your thang, sooner or later enough filipinos will acquire the money necessary to go back here and buy this country back. hey, i ain’t trippin’. you won’t be able to make that kind of money here, so strive to conquer the world, pinoy. we believe in you, you’re farther along than we are. we know you still love this country, and you will not forget. while you’re out there we’ll try our best to hold off death until the cavalry arrives.

i just hope the death of all these journalists and activists will be made worthwhile by those they left behind. come on guys, let’s get angry with mr. de quiros. we’re practically under martial law here, come on! if you don’t find this alarming, wait till they get to you. it’s just sad that all of them are falling like flies fighting for something that they believe in, their ultimate sacrifice ultimately falling on deaf ears, blinded eyes and jaded hearts.

so, how do we get to this paradise, this Enchanted Kingdom that our ruler is telling us?

take the sta. rosa exit on the south luzon expressway, or take the shuttle service from the Park Square 2 Ayala terminal.

It’s been a long year
Since we last spoke
How’s your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I can’t get used to it
I can’t get used to it
I’ll never get used to it
I’ll never get used to it

I’m under that night
I’m under those same stars
We’re in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that’ve betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn’t do I will
I forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I forgive you

For blue, blue skies
I’ll forgive you

I forgive you..
