... has been weighed and found wanting. And will it be divided amongst the Medes and Persians? I think not!

So the elections in the Philippines is just around the corner. Well it's again a non-working holiday for everyone out there. Here, they will also hold it this month, Tuesday after next, just right after the holiday. Wow I finally get paid holidays. The most significant difference I've seen between the elections here and the elections at home is, the campaign is cleaner. I'm not talking about mudslinging and rumor-mongering, they have that hear too. And it's nastier, they get to mention their rivals' names in their ads on radio (maybe on TV too, but I don't have time fo TV now). What I mean is, they don't have the campaign posters on every wall. None of that gawgaw paste. Electric lines, waiting sheds are spared here. So no campaign litter here, at least not the kind we see back home.

Which brings me next to Philippine elections, pity that Juan Flavier is no longer running. And talk about Ed Panlilio. Wow just look at the support he's getting in my home province. I just cried when I saw a video of his rally at Paskuhan Village. I got homesick that's why. But it still makes me wonder if Pampanga can remain united after the elections. Well getting caught between the wife of an alleged gambling lord and the son of a former governor turned senator wannabe-mayor who has allegedly divorced his Korean wife and also allegedly involved in a quarrying scandal (whew!). We see a priest running against these two. The situation in our province is so desperate that a priest (even though I don't share his religious beliefs) has to run for governor. And he even has four top-notch election lawyers supporting him; even though they work against each other, they choose to work together for this guy. Robert Reyes can't do that man.

Okay no more ranting and I've come to accept the fact that Winnipeg is my new home. I also felt the same the first time I lived in Quezon City, I cried the first day of my stay. Well you have to let it out. Okay so I've seen the downtown area in spring, and the trees are beginning to have leaves. It's pretty. It's clean. But they have awful roads here. I thought it we be different from what we have in the Philippines. Dugald is bad, and so are parts of Lagimodiere: from Dugald to Regent. Well by their standards I guess.

I just needed someone to knock sense into this stubborn head of mine, thank you for that, I love you. I should practice what I preach. I should just stop ranting and complaining because I'm still alive, breathing, have a nice place to live in, food on the table, running water, transportation, and a job. And someone waiting for me :)

Life is good once again.
