sick at heart

why are people sick at heart?

when there is extreme sadness over aspects of life. of course when one is broken hearted for sure. when one is also sad over things happening in one's life and can't seem to do anything about it.

i'm sick at heart, because --

1) my friend is broken-hearted
2) i'm confused and troubled over what's happening in Mindanao. People are yet again dying. Families getting displaced. increasing loss in business and productivity. Most of all, the conflict continues, and so does politicking that throws everything into chaos.
3) and something about work

golly gosh... i've gotten old! And tired. and disheartened. though not yet totally disillusioned nor hopeless.

Maybe. There is a light behind the storm clouds.

The Game of What-If

What if the Hyatt10 succeeded in July, 2005, to make President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo resign from the Presidency?

will it be better or worse now?

i think it would have been better. at least the greed that was supposedly being moderated would have been snuffed out entirely. Maybe.

Maybe the inflation, taxes, and exchange rates vis-a-vis the world economic crisis would have been better handled due to a real strong fiscal position brought about by lesser graft and corruption (if none at all) and better political character. Maybe.

Maybe Santa Claus is real and i'll get a boyfriend for a christmas gift for being a good girl this year. or was I?

Maybe
