a pretty lady holding another girl's hand. a decent man in another boy's arms.
a couple wrangling over money. while the son guilelessly looking at them.
pregnant lady standing in mrt while the men perched comfortably, pretending not to notice.
children dangling in jeepneys, wiping passengers' shoes cadging for pennies.
children calling their parents by their first names. siblings calling their elders by their first names.
kids no longer play patintero. piko. sungka. sipa.
the emo look? i don't get it! is it the modern marilyn manson?
facebook's tagalog translation of 'confirm requests' is 'talaga lang ha'.
a family going out of the church mid-ceremony because they had attended the last half of the previous ceremony. just like watching a movie, eh?
teenagers would rather be an actor/actress than go to school.
being famous for speaking barok english.
politicians can be actors too. and actors can be politicians.
journalists are killed for their words. now the sword is getting mightier.
the culture of corruption is way going overboard.
the thin line between news and gossip is getting thinner.
truth is becoming subjective. not absolute.
why apathy? is it our way of saying, 'there's nothing we can do' to the world's ills?
