a 30-minute entry

this month would not end without writing another entry. i decided to give the activity about 30 mins. and work with the randomness of human thought. i have nothing much to do today, perhaps read,  the family business just closed yesterday...for good, yes, i really think it's for common good, summum bonum for Aristotle. i felt sick last night for taking a lot of my favorite beer and also a lot of food. now, what's my next plan? i'm thinking about the academe, probably teach part-time, i can't work full-time with a boss babbling everytime one commits a mistake. 
i've been reading the papers lately,  main events include a sex scandal and a deadly disease spreading in the country. this has perhaps become a country of disease, literally and figuratively.
is there any cure to these? the politicians are doing all they can to get a big share of popularity from these events.
i have probably reached, just like any other citizen, point of indifference. i know what's happening but what's new?i've grown cynical, whether one does something good or not, it's always distrust for them. save some of my known good friends. ah, we have to make exceptions to balance things. isn't it a clear case of hypocrisy? probably, but it isn't a great case. we all have peter's and judas' inside us. 
finally, i'm thinking about voting on next year's elections, another exception.  indifference or active awareness and responsiblity tells me that i may need to vote even if the elites choose to  play with our sacred ballots or so we think it is. i say it's not just the government's role to change the face of the country but every citizen involved. so much for clean ideals. 30 minutes has elapsed. short passing of time and my random thoughts.

yes, you got it right..every citizen is responsible for his future, change in politics is very essential for the Philippines, as a whole. "Kaya natin" yan
