Hindi Ka Nag-iisa
Sasamahan ka naminKahit paligid ay madilimIilawan ang daanTungo sa magandang kinabukasan
Ika’y mamuno, kami ay susunodPagkakaisa’y ating itaguyodAng Pilipinas ay naghihintayHanda kaming kumilosHandang umalalay
Chorus:
Hindi ka nag-iisaSa pag gising ng bayanKami ay kasamaHindi ka nag-iisaIsasapuso ang dangalNang aming bayanSa tulong at biyaya ng MaykapalMagkakapit bisig tayo
Ituloy natin ang laban ni Ninoy at CoryNang bawat mamamayanPagmamahal natin sa bayanWag na nating itagoDi tayo susuko
(Repeat Chorus)
Sama-sama bawat PilipinoMula noon, ngayon at kailan pa manDi ka nag-iisa

And I have the previledge of making a speech before my former alma mater, Holy Spirit Academy of Malolos. I’ll be talking about Math in front of high school students. What about Math? I don’t know yet. I still have to create a topic for them to enjoy.

Bah! Lots to do this semestral break!

Last Tuesday was the last day for students to choose their subjects. I picked out BroadComm 10, Nat Sci 1, Math 164, Math 211 and Math 128.

And the results where released just now.

Yay! For the first time in 8 semesters in the university, I got all the subjects I needed! So, in other words, my schedule looks like this:

I went there to meet with an associate of Sen. Kiko Pangilinan. Of course, proper decorum must be observed in times and placed like this. I had much difficulty being refined and gentle (because that’s my polar opposite), but the meeting went well. Whoo! The worst is over.

Since I was in the Senate, I’d better take the advantage. My companion escorted me to the 5th floor where the Senator’s offices are located. I had to get the contacts of Senators Villar, Escudero, Aquino and Madrigal (you might have a good idea what my agenda is right now)

The thing that most struck me in the Senate is Senator Madrigal’s office. OMG. It looks like a European hotel lobby, complete with European style furnishing and upholstery. Plus, the office’s scented. I really can’t help but to think how much money was spent to refurbish her office.

We went back to the second floor. I would have wanted to talk with Sen. Kiko’s associate more but sadly, she had work to do so she had to go. But before we parted ways, she escorted me to the session hall, were the Senate hearings are conducted. It was my first time to hear a Senate session live and alive (the first Senate session I heard as during the impeachment trial of President Estrada. I watched it like a full-blown teledrama).

I was just in time to watch it. After the preliminaries, it was Sen. Aquino and Sen. Roxas’ turn in the Senate floor. But since Sen. Roxas called in sick, Sen. Angara took over his place and deliberated with Sen. Aquino. They were debating about Resolutions #1981 and #1989, about placing the entire archipelago under state of calamity after the typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.

Watching from afar, I really can’t help but notice Sen. Aquino’s receding hairline. In fact, it was worse than ever.  Where’s Kris when you need her? LOL

It was very disappointing to see that none of the senators were paying attention to the deliberation. Lots of them were chit-chattng with each other, standing, walking around, like school children without their teacher. In fact, I could have listed those who are NOISY, STANDING, and NOT IN PROPER SEAT.

Frustrated with what I was seeing, I left the Senate around 4 pm. I ended my trip with a disappointed heart, seeing that millions pay for the salaries of these people and yet those 14 senators take those millions for granted (FYI, 14 out of 24 senators were present during that day)

Oooh, the Pulitzer! What, his book wins the Pulitzer?! No way! Damn, Twilight might even be better than that piece of muck! No way!
