Stucked Underneath the Bed Rocks

As of this writing, I am once again stucked. The subway suddenly stopped in between two stations. The pilot keeps on saying something on the public address, of course I don't understand what he's saying. Should i freak out already? I just happen to be few meters underground. I hear the word Jishin.

Thank God the train is now moving. Two more stations. Please.

Aged

I found myself almost into tears when I saw an old man eating what he founds edible in the trash bin. I wonder where his children are, or does he ever had one.

You see, in this very progressive country, which I believe the generation of this man was the one who made it possible, many are still unaware of what is really happening around them. This country, who probably has ten times more national budget than what te Philippines have lacks compensation on the aged. I know you will say there are a lot of street elders in the Philippines as well, but picture the nations' wealth as a whole and you'll understand why it is happening in the Philippines.

You can not find a 60 year old lady attending to your burger at McDonalds, or cleaning your office toilets, or even watching over the direction posts. In here, it is the usual scene.

In a country where respect for elders are regarded as a national holiday, how can children abandon their old parents? I just can't equate respect with neglect.

Just my two cents.

Typhoon

This weather makes me feel like I am back home in the Philippines. Maybe, in a way, making me feel how I missed my beloved country. This weather is fetching me. I'm coming home.

Sana'y Pag-ibig na Lang

Finally, was able to find inspiration in doing this video for the Filipino-Japanese kids. O they are just so lovely. Kids would never really fail to inspire me. I made this video with my prayers that there will come a time that they will no longer hide their identity as a Filipino, that there would come a time that this little children will stand up and be proud, that there would come a time that they will understand the Philippine culture, that time will come this kids will grow up and be the new pillars of the Philippines, better, much better than what the present generation had handed over to them. I hope and pray, that in this simple ways of mine, I may help them, open their eyes, and be an inspiration.

Ganbarimasu next generation Global Filipino!!

Stranded

As of this writing, we are here at Shimbashi stranded. All JR lines bound to Yokohama are not moving. One Japanese here told it was because of a trouble in Shinagawa involving a person. Would it mean, someone tried to take his life again by jumping off the train rails? I hope not. Ihope not more serious than that.

The train is now moving, hopefully it will maintain this phasing. I miss my bed already.

Now Mobile

It's been awhile since I blogged. I found this new iPhone application wherein I can blog using my phone. Hopefully, this app will encourage me to write again. See you soon. :)
