levityNoynoy Aquino is going to be the next president of the Philippines. Deal with it; I'm not having Erap catch up with him. Binay might be the next vice president, oh dear gods.
As per usual I want a hundred million unobtainable things. I want Noynoy to suddenly sprout determination and competence. I want political will and common sense to start leaking out of his ears. I want Mar to overtake Binay, and fast, so that I have one less thing on my mind. I want there not to be cheating, or at least there not to be insanely rampant cheating, I want the senators to do their jobs and do them well, I want the elected candidates to be sworn into office and kept there till they get impeached, I want someone to fix up the rules for party-list candidates so that next time you can actually vote for a representative of a marginalized sector.
I want people to start doing things that are good for people, I want the Philippines to work, I want the world to work.
I'm sick of people being cynical and looking down on the Philippines and saying there's no hope and thinking it makes them realists and therefore better than everyone else. (Note: it doesn't. Cynicism is a long way away from being wisdom.) And I'm sick of being one of them. I just want not to be disappointed in people, dammit.
