Great!

I found it hard to sleep last night. I kept on tossing and turning. I finally gave up trying to sleep and turned on my laptop so I could work on some deadlines. I browsed my email and found three interesting ones. The first interesting email was from my cousin living in California. She sent me some house perspective because she intends to have a house built in her hometown sometime next year. She is giving me the job. Great! The next interesting email was from a client who was very pleased with the freelance work I did for him, and wants me to do more work. Great! The third email was from a local advertising agency who wants me to do some write ups for one of their clients. Great! That's triple "Greats" for me.

If only I could say the same thing regarding the Philippine's political scenario. I guess "great" is not an adjective that I could use to describe my sentiments about the current political scenario. The Filipinos are not ready for "change" as they still cling to the old and tried (albeit not effective) routines.

I guess it's like having a flabby tummy that you've been trying to firm-up for the longest time. You have the best ab workout and the right diet but the flab just doesn't want to go away. The materials are there but you're not using them.
