So US President George W. Bush came here for an eight-hour state visit. I honestly don’t want to say that it’s a good thing like some people, because that’s too much of a hasty generalization. But I seriously can’t say that it’s a bad thing either, to the point that I’d join those rallies a stone’s throw away from our subdivision, burning Bush and Arroyo’s effigies. Because I have yet to comprehend why. I don’t want to commit any consequent hasty generalizations.

Major annoyance! They closed off Commonwealth Avenue from Elliptical Road. So on our way home from Bulacan, we had to navigate our way through UP Village to be able to enter Commonwealth and get home. And Air Force One hadn’t even landed.

So while helicopters were hovering and flying around our Quezon City skies while Bush was going to and in the House of Representatives, we were watching the coverage on TV. Blah, blah, blah, Bush talked. Tsk tsk. With our corrupt military, do you think our army would stop their war against Muslim insurgents in Mindanao, now that America has pledged funding? NO! They don’t want to stop the funding anytime soon. This war will go on, and on. Our generals will continue to pocket the money. For once, I admired Rep. Imelda Marcos for her unpopular stance against our government’s being too pro-Bush. But I guess that’s just a political move, to win nationalist hearts in her upcoming senatorial bid.
