Not just waterproof...

 The Filipino spirit is waterproof,

but it is not just waterproof.

It is also fireproof,
windproof,
earthquake-proof.

It is shockproof too,
like a tibak's body being struck
by the truncheons and shields
of the riot police
amid a rally at Mendiola.

Heck, it is bulletproof as well
no matter how many Filipinos
die in this great nation
by gunshot or at gunpoint,
aside from other causes.

Most of all, being dominated
by the corrupt, the megalomaniac,
the greedy, the bloodthirsty
and all other sorts of dangerous,
but albeit outright fools...

the Filipino spirit
is FOOLPROOF.

LIFE JUST PLAYED A MIND-F**K ON ME...

Today is the birthday of two buddies of mine...

\

Hannix from UP Tacloban

"Nang" Miloy from UNO-R HS (now in USLS)

Both are taking up Psychology. Both were born on the same date (Aug. 17, 1994).  Both are girls. Both are "unique" (misinterpreted by other people as  "bangag"/"weirdo") due to their somewhat similar character, interests and hobbies. And both became my best buddies just last year.

Coincidence? I think not! >_<
