Political PoV

Since then, I never really considered Politics to be of my grasp one day. It’s suicidal. I mean, entering it’s domain is just like entering World War III – the complicated interconnections of nations and everything. Politics is broad. It doesn’t necessarily refer to government officials (our teacher in SocSci26 “Geography” emphasized this one time) out there because everything has it. I actually remember someone talking to me about the “Politics of a chair”. *wonders* I’m referring to the government here by the way. Others think differently, of course, while some are simply inclined to it. Corruption is an actor who always stars in the mind of every Politician. Some might say – especially those who are still on campaigns – that they will kill this ‘actor’ and do things for the betterment of everyone. Nyeh. I never believed in such thing. I see corruption as inevitable. It’s money that’s in your hands, so why would you let go of it? Theft of the people’s money happens in small and big scales. Nevertheless, I am not saying that absolutely everyone does this deed. Perhaps there are still those concerned enough to do what is right. And of course, what would happen to a nation without these people behind the government? With regards to this matter, if you are interested in U.S. Politics, you might want to check out George Lindemann. Lastly, I am not saying that I am closing my doors. But I really can’t see myself with it.

I thought the rainy days are already over. Wrong. I woke up at 8 and ended up getting up (whoa! that’s ‘up’ thrice!) past 10. It was cold. When I came down to the dorm’s main lobby, it was empty. And just like last night, I stayed for awhile outside to catch GLOBE’s signal. Lairy and Kristine then came. They just had breakfast. My pocket’s empty, literally. I attempted to borrow money from them but they were bound for the city so they can’t lend me any. I then looked for Jo Ann, my HS schoolmate, but she was not around. I think I’m going to die from hunger. If only there was no rain then I could have gone to town to withdraw in my ATM account. Ah, the wonders of having a car. If I had one, even it’d be a secondhand, I could go to the city (or anywhere else for the matter) anytime I want – rain or shine. I’ve seen these San Diego used cars and mind you, they don’t look like “used” at all. For practicality’s sake, why would you buy a new one if there are those out there that may even function the same way but will cost you less? This also goes to all other items, not just cars, of course. Spending and saving money is simply a matter of choice and of being wise.
