Arroyo: No Where To Turn To Now

After finally arresting former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and successfully detaining her in a public hospital despite her alleged serious medical conditions, the administration makes doubly sure she can’t get away with a ruling in her favour by the current supreme court justice. Although the Palace denies it, everyone seems to think that the reason why the congress so hastily voted to impeach Supreme Court Justice Corona is because of the President’s allies in the Lower House. Indeed, it’s a Merry Christmas  Pnoy and 2012 can expect back-to-back trials during it’s first months’

But what can we really expect from a justice who was a midnight appointee by the former president who is now expected to be tried by him. Will objectivity really still prevail given the fact that he owes his position of power to the person convicted? GMA was wise but the current administration proves to be wiser. If anything, their accomplishment this year may not so much be a felt improvement of our economy but rather they stuck true to their promise of pursuing the “tamang daan” no matter how dark and hard it is. whether this temporary setback in a glorious economy proves to be better in the long run, only time will tell.

The Knife that Needs Sharpening

A knife.

Needs to be sharpened.

Constantly.

So that when you use it, it’ll be sharp and be able to accurately and effectively carry out its function.

I feel like I am such a knife. In dire need of sharpening. Oh yes I have my own means to stay sharp and ready but the constant seemingly loss of purpose and direction; the lack of challenge and pressure; makes me dull. And thus, unfit and unready for even future use.

Ah. Knife.

Lost-Ness

Lost. Not the TV series but the feeling. No I am not in a place unfamiliar – my sense of direction is too good to get me literally lost. Rather, I am in a state of life wherein I no longer know what to do, what to feel, or what I should really be doing. Thus, I am lost.

Life has always been linear for me. Just as I view many other things as linear. Yes there are branches, there are other connections and side roads but always, everything is linear. Even if you choose to go down a side road than the main road, the path would still be linear. That’s how I’ve always viewed things – with a start and an end in mind.

At times, limbo happens. That state wherein the linear path seems to temporarily disappear and you are left to figure out how to reclaim that linear path. But this moments of limbo, once passed, reveals a much bigger, brighter and clearer linear path. If the opposite occurs though, then the limbo state remains and the agony continues.

I feel that I am in that limbo state now. Wherein the linear path is hidden, unseen, unknown. And as thus, unthinkable. Wherein, the whole essence and security of the future is questioned and doubted. Then again, there is the belief that a Supreme Being, God in my case, is always there to guide me and give me the future I so deserve. A future rich in blessings and goodness fit for a child of His own.

Yet it remains, that deep seated feeling of lost-ness. That feeling of limbo. It eats me, consumes me that I can not function to my prime. My full capacity, I feel, is restrained, contained, untapped and uninspired to shine through because I remain in a state of limbo.

What do I do? Where do I go? What am I doing here? What am I doing wrong? Is it even a question of going away or should I merely take a time out?

And that, my dear blog, is my limbo state. Au revoir.
