if you were in their shoes?
Faithful reader Abbygail asks a provocative question:
… if you will be tapped by the govt. to serve in teves’ shoes, what will you do to change the rut we’re in? help the people w/ your ideas. we cannot be blaming each other forever and just sit still. what will you do if given that chance to serve?
I personally do not think that an interactive forum like ours requires its participants to offer specific alternatives (in contrast, for example, to a newspaper editorial). It’s more than enough to express ourselves and discuss issues with others. But I do share Abbygail’s concern about moving forward (note, please, that I did not use that old plea to “move on” — euphemism for forgiving and forgetting).
If we were in a high official’s place, what, specifically, would we do? No need to limit ourselves to Finance Secretary Gary Teves; how about we choose one department (say, DND) or agency (say, Pagcor), and then offer our proposed (specific) solutions?
Should be interesting. But, please, keep it specific. As they say, God (or the devil) is in the details.

In the spirit of Christmas I will momentarily shift to the more lighter aspect of blogging. Merry Christmas to all you guys and dolls, everybody included, no exception. Merry Christmas to John and Manolo, and all Inquirer staffs and management. Not the least, or last, but specially, Merry Christmas to the president. Yes, you are right, I mean President Gloria M. Arroyo.
+++++++
EXCUSE ME SIR! GLORIA ARROYO, IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES SHE DON’T HAVE A MANDATE FROM FILIPINO PEOPLE. BECAUSE SHE ONLY STOLE HER TITLE FROM PRESIDENT JOSEPH ESTRADA, AND SHE STOLE IT AGAIN FROM FERNANDO POE, JR. IN MAY 10, 2004. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. BUT I HOPE SHE CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT SHE’S NOTHING BUT A POWER GRABBER. SHE’S A THIEF!!!

My christmas present to all of you!
“Quotes from the heart”
Dream what you want to dream, Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want in life.
It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it but its also true that we don’t know what we’re missing until it arrives.
The happiest of all people don’t necessarily have the best of everything, They just make the most out of everythign that comes their way.
To love and win is the best thing, To love and lost is the next best thing!
Love is blind, Marrieage is a real eye opener. Marriage based on love and trust, Without it, It’s meaningless!
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, An hour to like someone, And a day to love someone but it take a lifetime to foreget someone.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they’ll love you back. Don’t expect love in return; Just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn’t be content it grew in yours.
Love begins with a smile, Grows with a kiss, End with a tears.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, You can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
A careless word can kindle a strife, A cruel word may wreck a life, Kindly word may level a stress; A loving word may heal and bless.
In giving it is always the thought that counts. What comes from the pocket is immaterial, What come from the HEART IS ETERNAL.
Merry christmas! To all and happy new year!
