"mga legal na holduper yung mga yon" -manong taxi

November 07, 2006 and i couldn't have said it any better myself.

we were on our way back from a meeting at Ortigas when mother and manong driver got engaged in a conversation and since i was dwighty-less, i listened.

apparently, mother was hailed by 2 cops and was asked to pull over for "reckless driving". She was crossing an intersection when the light turned red and since she was already a few meters past the alloted, she went on and drove across. and lo and behold 2 cops charged her of reckless driving (as mother had pointed out, it wasnt even reckless driving, beating the red light might have been a closer violation.)

anyway, long story short, they wanted money. "pangkape" is what they said it was. ok. sabi ko nga.

how can you believe in a system such as ours? the people who are supposed to be there to catch criminals are the ones committing crimes. im the one embarassed by these people's actions.

i know life's hard, and most of the time, your salary falls short. but come on! you dont see me taking money from my officemates when we hardly have enough money to buy food. there are ways.

if people would always take short cuts, no matter how immoral it is, then this country is doomed. success is attainable with the right attitude. people, patience really is a virtue.

not going far from money issue, we were watching TV last night (more of like this morning because i came home past 12midnight..OT) myx was showing Paris Hilton's video. kat commented on how lucky she was, rich and beautiful. i can't help but object.

Paris Hilton doesn't know how to make good use of her wealth and charm (i still dont find her beautiful. she's thin and blonde ...and so is about half of the world) imagine, she can do so much, give so much. sure, she's a businesswoman, and so? that's just something to add to her already overflowing bank account.

im not saying that she is the key to world peace but for someone who's got her resources, its such a waste. so yes, i still dont like her that much, not until she does something so she would be at least of use to this world, and not just another wealthy brat who's stupid enough to get herself filmed while doing the deed.

hay.
