watching

I am just compelled to write as I watch the EDSA I documentary aired by ABS-CBN right now.

I was only 5 years old when the revolution happened…  I was oblivious of how people fought side by side to end Marcos’ reign as we were far from where everything happened… In Calinog, NASUREFCO staff compound, life was normal. I didnt hear my parents express any strong opinion about what had been happening at that time. I guess, for my father, work had to go on at the sugar refinery controlled by a Marcos crony.

Mas naalala ko pa siguro ung nangyari coup nung 1989, i thought the world was so chaotic at that time. For someone who’s just 9 years old then, I thought guguho na ang mundo. Hehehehe

Anyway, habang nanonood ako sa docu, mas napahanga ako sa mga ordinaryong tao who sacrificed a lot para sa kinabukasan ng bayan. If you are watching the docu, makikita mo ung mga iba na may matataas na posisyon at opisyal during that time had their own agenda for going against Marcos. Hanggang ngaun marami pa ring ganyan.

To end this, marami din pala ang nag-eecho ng sentiments ko… tama nga masyado nang pinupulitika ang lahat. Hopefully eto na ang last na comment ko sa EDSA.

Btw, may bago akong nadiskubre, ang bandang Bitterpill. Dunk music, may twist ng trip hop… basta ang ganda, danceable ang mga kanta nila. Basta ung naalala ko na kanta nila ung Tyope…

Ang isang band member reminds me of Myan, who only has a band and plays the bass. Magkahawig kasi sila ng mukha ni Myan…

At finally, marunong na ako pumunta ng Saguijo nang mag-isa. Yey! Nakakalito pero nafigure out ko na rin :)
