Checked on my long forgotten account and found that I had enough for 10 pulls. Lucky as always, eh?

I was never interested in the upcoming elections back home. Not until we went on vacation and stayed for a month - I saw how deplorable the situation is. The airport is a mess. Driving around is madness, there isn’t much order going on the streets. Processing papers and clearances in government offices takes forever. Retail product prices have skyrocketed, while salaries have stayed the same. National insurance funds have been embezzled.

And the sad part? People have accepted this as their normal way of living because they are accustomed to it. This is wrong. This is all wrong. Waiting in line at the airport for an hour to check in is not normal. Being stuck around in traffic for more than an hour or two each day is not normal. There is just so many wrong things about the Philippines that the government has direct control over, but still fails to correct.

Now, the national elections draw near - and based from the polls and first hand conversations I had with people, it seems like history is about to repeat itself. The masses are about to put the son of a well known dictator in place. A person with sketchy educational background, who served for different government posts for so long with no great accomplishments to back him up. And it scares me.

Please, to those back in the PH who are still having second thoughts, vote for the person who strives to make things better for everyone. A person who can relate to the masses and the wealthy alike. Vote for the person who pushes for transparency and good governance. The person who brings everyone together, who brings out the spirit of volunteerism in all of us. There is still hope for a better Philippines. And it starts on May 9. Vote wisely, everyone.

who names their kid bacon

[ameliacgormley]

Calvin and Hobbes were Reformation-era philosophers, as was Frances Bacon. I’m better his daughter’s name is actually Frances, but he calls her by the appropriate last name of the philosopher, just as Calvin and Hobbes are last names.

Fun little trick I learned in therapy: validation. When someone is upset, don’t try to fix the problem, point out the cause, or tell them it could be worse. Just validate their emotions. Be like, ‘shit yeah man, that sucks. I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m here for you.’ That’s literally all you have to do to make them feel better. Thank you and goodnight.
