Whatever Happened To Edsa?
No other day can be so delightfully spent in blissful laziness at home, than a weekday when school is unexpectedly declared suspended for millions of kids all over Metro Manila. Today being the third day of the 20th year of the 4-day Philippine EDSA revolution, it is just really fitting to be declared the long-weekend it has now become, that is pitifully reduced to a negotiable holiday as an afterthought, if only for the bonus of an extra day for the kids who may never even know what EDSA meant to their parents back in '86. Pity that after all the great things it once stood for, it has now become a memorial to what was once promising of better things to come that failed, and gives one the true, painful picture to the question of Where Are We Now 20 Years After EDSA. Nowhere near where we thought we would be, that's for sure.
Thankfully, politics and life do not collide here at home, so pardon me then for being irrelevant, as I get on to the business of living. Meantime, the afternoon's activity is set, it being a toss-up between Memoirs Of A Geisha versus Pink Panther for me and two daughters, and finally, the much awaited WWE RAW Live Tour for my husband and little girl. Happy happy, joy joy.

UPDATE: 11:43 A.M.
Just a little earlier today, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared the country under a state of emergency after a botched coup attempt at 3 a.m. this morning. School and work are cancelled. All permits for scheduled rallies are revoked. Police are now authorized to make warantless arrests.
Sounds like martial law to me.
