What would Bob Ong say?

Another tumultuous election has gone by. The expected country-wide disarray seems like a cultural stamp now. Truly Pinoy. We already know that whenever there's an election here in the Philippines, there will always be vote buying(next time,people, do a scalper act and demand more...your vote for 200 pesos?WTH?) people being gunned down, failure of elections, disgruntled people wanting recounts, sweaty jejemons (IMHO their declining capacity to even communicate normally should disqualify them from these things) ,long lines , frustrating voting systems, unidentified flying voters, opportunistic banana cue vendors,defaced walls...the list goes on and on. Don't get me talking about the PCOS machines, either. I've had enough when my brother overheard one of the watchers say "Asa may modem ani?" @_@ He badly wanted to point at the thing in front of the girl and say "Unsa man diay na?" Nonetheless, it's better than poking it with an umbrella like what they did in some places. Dili taguanan ug ilaga ang PCOS machine.

Digressing,I won't post or comment much about the newly-elected president here. It's enough that others are still complaining in status messages allover Facebook.You won't hear me rant about the other candidates here,either. I'm only hoping for the best for this country.And maybe a few miracles, too.

Going back, all these distinctly Pinoy elements are solid grounds for creative minds to cultivate even better things to talk and write about. One thing I really admire about us Pinoys is that we never lose sight of humor in the midst of chaos. We always find the funniest, most hilarious things in even the tightest and most serious situations.

After hours of searching twitter and facebook for examples.....

Now enough of that, just hit me with your best hirit of the elections. And it would be a plus if you're a HUGE Bob Ong fan. If your entry is the best and most original, I'd let you pick among any one of Bob Ong's books as a prize. Yes, even the upcoming "Ikawalo" when it hits bookstores. (Books are subject to availability)

I always spiral down to the old habit of "not blogging", and truth to be told, I don't like not being able to blog for so long. I feel useless...like my brain is stagnating. But who or what do I blame when inspiration escapes me like a thief in the night? It's always like, I'm almost there, the idea is almost kissing me in the face, then when I start to open my page, poof! (it became koko crunch!..yeah yeah...corny much?) ... Maybe I'm just too scared about what people might think about my opinions...Heck, I shouldn't be pleasing each and everyone in the room, right? That would sort of make me lose my identity and guts. So, I'm letting go of what's holding me back...but I'm leaving with a few disclaimers:

* If you think you're the one I'm talking about, THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.
* If you think I'm harsh and criticizing, you haven't been to or heard of boot camp.
* If you think I'm crazy doing this, I'm dating the Cheshire Cat...( He thinks "we're all mad here.")
*I won't apologize if I know that some human committed an utterly "human" offense, and I talk about it...anything that is below bestial act is forgivable..so you'd be able to move on after I talk about it..so I might as well talk about it.Whatever.

The above mentioned are subject to change without prior notice.
