Are you bored? Wanna get aliw?
Read caffeinerush’s journal.
This one’s from his post uber bilis lang:
Napanood ko ang political ad ni Si Kris Aquino kagabi. (This time, hindi na Kano ang endorser ni Mrs Arroyo.) Para sa kanya, Gloria pa rin. Hmmm, weird. Sounds like Marcos pa rin. Pero ‘di ba ang slogan ng Mom niya noon ay “Tama na, sobra na! Ang bayan naman.”
Sabagay, kanya-kanyang opinyon ang mga tao. Halimbawa, gaya ni Conrado de Quiros, scared din si Victor na manalo ulit si Mrs Arroyo. “I am scared of an FPJ presidency. But I am scared even more of a Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo one.”

Anybody who wants the presidency so much should not be entrusted with the position.

Ayon naman sa INQ7, nilagdaan ngayon ni Arroyo ang isang batas na nagdedeklara kay Benigno Aquino bilang isang pambansang bayani.
