Oh no! What if it happens here?
Anarchy and chaos descends in Haiti and the rebels calling it the last gasps of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's regime. Part of the Miami Herald report says that
At least a dozen bodies were strewn on the capital's streets, some shot in the head. Armed Aristide loyalists hijacked cars and stripped motorists of valuables. Looters descended on the port, fighting with each other, carrying away food and appliances.
Once again, the international community deplored the disorder in Haiti but took no concrete steps to stop it.
Something similar might arise if and it's a big if Presidential Contender FPJ is disqualified. The many fans of "da king" would protest and there would be anarchy and chaos too. Or there might be coup...again! . Oh no for sure!
Don't wanna see Philippines(come election time or even before that) become Haiti the second

Show me some Passion!
On ash Wednesday(in the US) the most awaited and anticpated film of the year opens and amidst the debate and controversy a lot of people flocked the movie theaters to see what the fuzz is all about.
Yeppers.. blogged about the movie about 2 or 3 times(since last year, search the archives if you must) already and now it's showing. AndI wonder if the board censors here would allow the movie to be shown(owing to the fact that it's violent some say). Being the only Catholic country in Asia, I bet the religious sect here would have something to say about the film!

The Plot to Hunt Al- QAEDA
Oooh of course they're dong something about Bin Laden's Al Qaeda! The article from the Washington Post clearly reports that
In the years before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the CIA carried out a secret but ultimately unsuccessful manhunt for bin Laden. It was based at first on the band of Afghan tribal agents, and later expanded to include other agents and allies, especially the legendary guerrilla leader Ahmed Shah Massoud. But the search became mired in mutual frustrations, near misses and increasingly bitter policy disputes in Washington between the Clinton White House and the CIA. Read More
Well it's been years now, Saddam has been captured already but still no Bin Laden. The plan to
"seize, kidnap " Bin Laden was a failed one I guess cos he still out there in the mountains somewhere along the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Probably being sheltered by tribes. I saw CNN's report of high ranking U.S officials meeting with their Pakistanis counter part. Wonder if it will bear fruits. Gotta capture those terrorists!

Dean is done
Former frontrunner for the Demoratic Presidential candidate, Howard Dean decided enough of losing primaries so nothing to do but exit the race. Part of the NYTimes report:
Dr. Dean, whose outspokenness was part of his allure, never learned to watch his words, nor grow into a skilled statesman who could reach beyond his base.
He thought he was gonna win cos of his popularity in the early goings of the campaign. Attacking President's Bush's policy on Iraq and other stuff(like capture of Saddam) made him laughing stock or punch tirades by the other Democratic candidates. I guess though with his ground breaking web campaign style of and lots of supporters and charisma(though it didn't carry him over to the primaries), he'll stay and be a force in American politics
But he's quitting the race..Ehehehe.

Yikes, I see freaky candidates!
Jeepers creepers, Presidentiables and their campaign materials littered the walls of the metropolis. Since yesterday started the official campaign season for the national elections, it's was like ready get so or ready aim fire sort of a rush to the nearest bare walls and posts and lamps by "paid volunteers" and who can stick and post the most numbers of ads and yucky large faces of the candidates! Ugh. Can't wait for the May 16 elections already so the mad rush to inundate us with who the hell cares jingle and paid ads and big scary looking billboards of the candidates will end.

Asia's Sickness
And this from AP:Bird Flu May Have Passed Between Humans
Now thats a scary thought. The report says:
Limited human-to-human transmission of the virus is not considered a serious danger. What experts fear is that the virus might mutate into a form that passes easily between people
Gee "not a serious danger!"?. People are dead as a result of a possible human to human contact instead of just with the birds! WHO needs to look deeply into the matter. And I think they are.
First the SARS now this Bird Flu. Ack! Vaccinate the whole Continent!

Blah ging
Yey,I made a new theme for my journal. Out of boredom I guess. It's a black and white layout with a light Goth Girl image. It's not tableless though like the other ones in my other themes but still pretty cool.
