I have often maintained, as in the case of this space, that I would not waste time, effort, energy, much less a thought, on people and things and situations that do not interest me at all or those I don’t like or I am annoyed with. The rationale behind this perspective is simple: dwelling in negativity will just give me undue stress and, worse, shorten my life span. The truth is, there will always be people who have the knack to make you feel bad. There will always be those who have mean bones in their system. So I avoid them like a plague and this serves me well.

But with all the uproar about this Chip Tsao incident recently I couldn’t help but speak as well. I may have my little rule about ignoring bad vibes etc. etc.  but I do have my pride as well.

As you well know, this guy has been frothing in the mouth about the Philippines claiming Spratlys and all that BS because in his opinion, a nation of servants just doesn’t have the right.  His analogy was that the Russians could ram their subs up his pompous ass and its okay because the Chinamen was taught Communism by the likes of Lenin (as if it’s something to be thankful for). Or that it’s okay to grovel to the Japanese because they make such lovely Hello Kitty dolls. His logic is comparable to a 10 year old no?

I could just imagine him posturing in front of his Filipina maid who was supposedly educated in International Politics or something to that effect. “See, you are a dog and you’re not supposed to bite the hands that feed you.” I mean come on, as if his helper is freeloading in his house and her salary is a donation, and not a byproduct of some services rendered.

Now his piece is supposedly a satire. I say, wtf. Satire my foot. It’s so phenomenally shallow, there’s nothing to read behind the lines. It’s poking fun at a nation and there’s nothing more to it – not even an iota of substance. nada, zilch, zero.

Take a look at this Tsao character’s face. It has bigotry written all over it. And please remember him, because given a chance, he’d have no qualms sending lesser mortals to the gas chambers like what the Nazis did to the Jews.

Like, where were they when the Brits found them? If I remember it well, his mother country is recently  still a Third World, only raking money from mass producing fake ipods, pirated movies,  subpar products who have killed and maimed people because they proved hazardous. And to think the country that they have ever subjugated in recent history is Tibet, a nation of peaceful souls. They couldn’t even tame Taiwan.

Eh?

I am having second thoughts posting this piece. I feel it’s contaminating my blog. In our kitchen we are trained with the HACCP system in mind, e mukhang ipis tong mamang ito. Pag me chef na makakita, bagsak ako sa sanitation. Bwahaha.

I, along with the teeming millions across the globe, am mesmerized with the continuing saga that is the 2008 US Presidential elections. I have been glued to Yahoo’s comprehensive coverage and the Super Tuesday, particularly, fascinated me deeply. Woot, last night I even dreamed about Hillary Clinton and in retrospect, I think it’s quite disturbing. lol. Anyway, politics depresses me and Clinton’s fight with Barack Obama is reaching epic proportions. Like, I am that affected. lol.

anyway, if I am an American, who would I vote for?

It’s gonna be Clinton.

This FG guy is becoming such a nuisance. I mean besides being an eye soar he has this knack for inviting trouble. It’s not surprising because just look at him – bloated and all – one would think of Nero or some Roman pig who has overindulged and would not bat an eyelash when accepting a bribe. In all this time, he has managed to sabotage what his spouse has done so far. Whatever happens now – they would have their comeuppance.

OT: I am depressed today, because the radio played a Christmas song. Wah.

Futek, I just read in the papers that our 2nd quarter GDP growth was placed at 7.5%. What a very good news! First quarter was 6.9% and it already created a furor, and now this! There were those who downplayed the 6.9 growth previously because they said, it was election-driven. But how can they explain the surge this quarter?

For those, who will be happy to see this country go down the drain because the leader is someone they abhor. Well, eat your heart out.

I consider myself a right-wing essentially because I absolutely abhor the left and the commies. See, I am a fish that will thrive in a capitalist pond and one that appreciates the freedom of its society that encourages excellence in each citizens. It is no wonder why some of the people I hate most are labeled Reds.
