What happened to me?
My mind is blank. Oh no, that’s a lie. It is actually full of thoughts at the moment. Would you believe, I spent a big part of the day reading news and watching videos about politics here. I feel like I am punishing myself listening to all those lies, reading unpalatable comments, watching a little of everything. I had a good exchange of ideas with a former office mate who is now working in another bank. She calls me “ma’am” and I told her she doesn’t have to. Nasanay eh (she got used to it when we were together).
Finally, The Supreme Court made a decision on Sen. Trillanes’ filing a TRO and they didn’t approve it saying the words of Duterte and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) they would not arrest Sen. Trillanes without a warrant would hold. They however referred it back to the Regional Trial Courts, one of which has set a hearing on the 13th September. Until now though, Sen. Trillanes is still at the Senate grounds and the AFP said they will still arrest him. Mad, mad world. I don’t understand it. I am afraid Duterte won’t honor his words. Instead of focusing on the more serious problems of the country, he’d rather engage in politicizing the AFP and his attention is solely on Sen. Trillanes. I pity our country, I pity its people. The poor in our midst are hungry, they barely have enough to eat because of the rising prices of basically all commodities, add that to the very high cost of fuel and the low exchange rate of the Philippine peso to the US dollar. The boat is sinking, It’s sad.
I console myself by finishing two more books. Right, they are billionaire stories again. They are quite easy read finishing a book in a day. At the moment I am again listening to various artists, 70’s and 80’s music this time and a spattering of instrumental music by Percy Faith and Mantovani Orchestra. Music soothes the soul, right?
There is a strong typhoon coming this week and another one has just left the country. I hope it would not be that strong as predicted. Although the eye of the typhoon would not possibly hit Metro Manila, I am still afraid of the rain that comes with it. Gosh, that would be our 15th weather disturbance this year.
I am distracted by this disco music. Bye for now.
