Watch Waiting Shed by Ely Buendia Online!

Hello readers!

You might have heard of Ely Buendia. The guy who wrote a couple of songs and sang for Eraserheads. The same guy who revolutionized the alternative rock music scene of the Philippines. The exact same guy that makes me sad at night, wailing why I wasn't a college student during the late 1980's so I could have lived alongside him. I'm just asking if you know HIM.

Guess what, he's also into film-making and I just saw his Cinemanila entry, Waiting Shed here.

After I saw it, I immediately thought of making a film about my classmates inspired by an Eheads song. I have a camera and the guts so why not?

Recent Surveys in Favor of Sen. Villar.

Villar, Aquino most trusted presidential bets—survey

One of the most important surveys held in the Philippines is the census while the surveys for candidate preference is the least helpful, as long as you consider my opinion.

What should this surveys be doing? Of course, to inform candidates about their approval rates.

Why is this important? Candidates seek approval and not political strength and willpower. That should have been obvious if you have read newspapers and watched television at least during the hot months (hot months=24 months before and 2 months after the election).

Is being a presidential survey top lister give you more votes? I'm afraid I believe so. Some people in the Philippines live to be boneless, swaying to every direction the wind or whatever blows. Popular opinions are the safest ones they say.

I also have a theory that those who conducted the survey was a patriot of Philippine media. Too scared of the ads that looked like they were taking over everything stimulating the senses that they agreed to say Villar had approval. So now Villar, the evident top player in terms of campaign materials, can tone down his commercials.

Santa Claus for President!

The royal family of my dream

Philippines

Note to readers: I was writing this entry listening to a mayoral candidate singing in the nearby public gym (which he supposes is related to campaigning) so I have the right to be furious and anti-politics.

We have a new assignment in SocSci which is to write an essay of who you personally will choose to be the leader of your country, dead or alive.

I chose Santa Claus. His principle is priceless. You get presents for being good and nothing for being naughty in contrast with our current political unspoken rules.

(Now I'm listening to 2NE1's Fire with a new set of lyrics: "Iboto nyo si Jed Mabilog!". A version of a mature lady who sounds like she needs some money. Do I smell slavery?)

Will Religiously Blog Starting Now

I love keeping up with my blog but recently, I have lost enthusiasm. Blame it all to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Daily Booth for taking up most of my bandwidth.

So now, I promise myself to keep my blog updated once every three days the least. If I break my promise, I will blog at least 5 times a day for 3 days. You get the point.

Do you like the new theme of my blog?

Manny Villar is scary

Photo from here

Weee! The elections are right around the corner and being a minor, I put two votes on the table, my mother and my father's.

I don't bully my parents, I suggest. And when I suggest, I share my idea and I release an endless chain of supporting facts that exalt my idea, forcing any idea-processing body to finally submit to my claims. I think its legal because if they like there own idea better, they'll stand by it no matter what.

For this election, I'm for Noynoy Aquino and I'm making a a list of what are the pros and cons of voting a neophyte senator as president of our 7,107 islands.

The Cons:

Of course, experience is not on Noynoy's side. He's new to politics as I am to Calculus.

He is silent and De Castro like. After he became senator, nobody knew he was still working.

The Pros:

The pressure of having a legendary last name. No one can do bad things while being Aquino. Its impossible unless you are subhuman.

I'm a little bit scared about Manny Villar. He spends truckloads of money to get his face on every wall, on every TV station, on every webpage (check out YouTube) on every possible platform that can make him famous. After he wins, how can he earn back all those money? He is a millionaire businessman so I'm wondering if his candidacy is an investment where he will get more than he paid for over time.

Elections in the Philippines were patterned after telenovelas so expect drama. I suggest pay-per-view news coverage of Philippine election overseas. Marketed as "24 hour drama, its like Big Brother on a nationwide scale: Philippine Election 2010".
