insult to injury
people never learn, do they? for the first time in weeks, the peso has risen to a little over 51 to the dollar, and not five hours later, the government manages to [in president arroyo's words] shoot itself in the foot.
grow up, already. arroyo may not be an absolute good, but she's the best we got. don't tell me you'd rather have noli as president, for principle's sake; if there's one thing this world teaches us, it's that principles are a liability.
funny how everyone knows that arroyo's a necessary evil, but we prefer to argue about how evil she is rather than accept how necessary she is. now if our politicians would put their money into something even a quark more productive than black propaganda and endless court cases, we might actually comprehend this.
but no, trust the masses to take the beauty of people power and turn it into an overplayed proof of our collective inability to stand by our choices and accept their repercussions. regardless of your efforts, dear brothers and sisters in bad governance, there is no such thing as a take two.
it figures, actually - the less you know, the more you think you know.
jeez.

inspired by the recent success of my foray into post-paid internet, i am contemplating applying for a cellular phone line, since i spend roughly 500 pesos per month on text credits anyway.
one of the perks of applying for a plan is the option to receive either a free or discounted cellphone as part of the package. this is where you, dear reader, come in: i am interested in availing of a 6610i with my post-paid account. unfortunately, that model is only given completely free-of-charge if my account is an extension of a two-year-or-older globe account.
therefore, i am appealing to anyone with loyalty to globe who may be willing to donate your extension slot to me. if you're feeling particularly generous, feel free to leave a comment. i assure you, the gesture will be well-appreciated.
