what's happening, pinas?

truly, i love my country and have no wish of leaving it like what others have done. i'm grateful i have a job that pays well (although new graduates from my old school earn better than me and i have no way of knowing if i'll get my promised annual salary increase this year), friends and families who i can count on and run to in times of happiness and troubles, and a happy life.

however, i get real pissed off when i watch the news and see what's happening in the country. it gets so depressing. you want to help and the only way i can think of doing it is do my job well, pay my taxes (which is very high, if i might say so!) and obey the law. anyways, i just really want to ask -- what's happening, pinas?! -- after reading this article on the newspaper:

ikaw, anong masasabi mo? nakakalungkot, ano? i know we can do something! but what? maybe i'll write more on this. for now, i'm going back to work. sinulat ko lang ito bago ko makalimutan na gusto ko nga pala siyang isulat. i'm forgetful sometimes...

on another note, where is chief?! i'm worried about him. i'm not sure if he finally had a ticket to home yesterday or today. well, i wanna see him before he leaves because i might not see him again!
