Earthquake Today

There's a long earthquake happens just today at this hour in the Philippines. It quite long, around 20-30 seconds and good thing we're safe here. I do not know exactly if there's casualty out there, hopefully none. Let's pray for the best!

Traffic in EDSA

Last night, 24 February, was one of the worst traffic ever happened in EDSA. Maybe next to the one during Typhoon Ondoy. The 4-km distance of Ayala-Kalayaan became a three-hour trip. There's traffic everywhere, even the shortcut routes were clogged. I found a little luck by using the Bonifacio Global City way and exited at Gate 1, I guess I saved no less than 45 minutes. Along the way I could see many stranded passengers, some were clever enough to walk instead of spending more hours in traffic.

The atmosphere last night in EDSA got me thinking was there another People Power? Ironically, it turns out all the chaos and traffic was due to commemoration of People Power/EDSA revolution which took place years ago. I mean, why do we celebrate a "peaceful revolution" with some idea that would cause chaos? Well, only in the Philippines I guess.

Welcome 2010!

Happy new year everyone!

Each year promises a new beginning, but as each year ends we also realize broken promises. I barely knew people who stick true to their new year's resolution and became the person they want to be. But then, we keep on making our new set of promises each year and we've very optimistic to be more "obedient" this time.

I am one of that "new-years-hopeful". This year I promised to keep alive this blog until, well, next year or beyond 2010. I hope this blog won't last only after 2 weeks with only 2 posts. I hope this blog will really recollect my personal thoughts on almost anything anytime anywhere. I hope I could meet more friendly people online. I hope blogging could bring out the best in me.

We'll see next year.
