I’ve been in such a crabby mood the past few days—not for days on end but it comes in spurts. Seems like a lot of things are pissing me off.
The latest source of irritation is all these politicians making use of night time entertainment to promote their campaign. There’s Loren Legarda invading the Pinoy Big Brother house (and the minutes in between, which plugged her campaign ad)—I swear, the entire time I watched her there, she seemed so cold even while she was interacting with the housemates. You just feel a coldness in her. Maybe it’s just me but I’d like to think I have good reads on people—unless they’re really really good at hiding who they are. Anyway, I actually like that Loren Legarda’s campaign is geared towards the environment because God knows we’ve neglected it so much. But I just really REALLY hope that it isn’t just political bull. If she really intends to implement (and implement it thoroughly, not just in spurts), then I would like her to win. But if it’s just going to be empty promises, then she’s not getting my vote.
Then there’s the whole Ninoy and Cory Aquino SERIES in Maalaala Mo Kaya, which is really (sigh) an attempt to further promote NoyNoy’s campaign—not to mention it eats away the other shows’ time slots (PBB started 30 MINUTES later than usual). Ugh, I really have the highest respects for his parents but if he thinks that using them would get him popularity points…well, obviously it will, but not from this blogger. And the cast for the series is stellar pa ah. They’ve gone ahead and casted the hottest hunk in Pinoy television—Piolo Pascual. His party is really milking the most out of his family’s history AND his sister’s strong hold over her network.
ARRRGH.
It just really frustrates me. All these not-really-subtle way to promote the running candidates. It just doesn’t spell classy for me. I hate that they think they can win over votes by invading prime time, by being seen alongside people’s favorite night time shows. It just doesn’t sit well with me, knowing how Filipino politics isn’t really FOR the state, but FOR that friggin individual.
Maybe I’m just jaded. But all the campaign marketing I’ve seen on TV doesn’t really show me WHO THEY ARE AS INDIVIDUALS. They are all being made to look like fucking HEROES. And we all know that only one or two there are sincere. And that I even have my doubts about.
UGGGGH. Am I just jaded? Is this reaction brought about by the current hyperactive state of my hormones?
Sigh. Times like these, it’s hard to feel hopeful.
I’m a registered voter. And I honestly do not know who to vote for. I know who I WONT so I’m trying to narrow it down to the one who deserves my vote the most. If this attempt is futile, I just won’t vote, PERIOD. I don’t think my conscience can take it if I vote for some chump, and that chump ends up pulling our country down further into laughing-stock oblivion.
I’m not a registered voter.
Sayang. I was too late for the overseas voting registration. It’s too bad because I do know who I’d vote for: Villar. They can say all they want about C-5, but he is a doer and an achiever. 
I hope he’d win.
Noynoy I like for being different than the usual politician. I actually trust the guy! And I don’t care about his parentage. But unless he has other achievements to show than his honesty, well… Maybe I’d vote for an Aquino if Kris runs. Haha.
