Finally, I'm done with friendster and had deleted my account.
Has canceled my multiply account, too.
So now I only have facebook and this (and of course e-mail and YM).
Unloading thoughts and sharing memories...they may be toxic if kept for a long time. hehehe :)

Why I am voting for Gilbert Teodoro
Disclaimer : This post presents reasons why I WILL VOTE for Gilbert Teodoro. I wrote this because I want to. This is not meant to convince you to vote for him because Gilbert Teodoro can very well do that himself (listen to him, watch forums) ".
1. Academic Excellence.
check his profile
2. Leadership Experience.
As seen on his profile, he's been president of Sangguniang Kabataan. He's been the president of NPC and is now the chairman of Lakas-CMD and was secreatry of DND.
3. He knows what's he's talking about and has been very consistent with his views.
If you follow debates, forums and interviews with the presidentiables you will see that Gibo is very articulate and has been very consistent with his answers. No wonder he tops every mock election or survey after each forum.
4. A solid and sustainable platform.
5. Continuity of government projects.
He objectively recognizes the good things the current administration has accomplished and vows to continue those good projects.
6. He's his own man.
He is known for his own achievements.
7. Positive Campaign shows good character
He's the only candidate who promotes positive campaigning. This shows a lot about a person's character. He stands out not because he put others down, but because he's better.
8. He knows how to use his resources.
Gibo came from a rich and influencial family but didn't grow up spoiled or lazy. He's achieve a lot academically and that alone shows his intelligence, determination and discipline.
9. He wanted the job from the very beginning.
10. He's carrying the baggage of being the admin candidate but still proves that he's the worthy candidate.
Several people, including the MBC has said that it is unfortunate that Gibo is running under the administration party. One journalist even said, if Gibo is on another party, then probably he's the one leading the surveys.
11. Diverse government service experience.
Gibo has been on the opposition (NPC) and is currently with the administration (Lakas-CMD). He was a 3-time congressman (legislative branch) and was secretary of DND (executive branch).
Some minor reasons:
12. He looks good...hehehe... and his wife looks good, too.
13. He's a hands-on parent.
14. He's a pilot and he knows how to cook, which shows how well-rounded he is.
15. He commands attention when he speaks. When he speaks, people listen.
I don't think Gibo will be a "tuta" of GMA. Wala namang utang na loob na dapat tanawin si Gibo kay GMA kasi hindi nakakatulong si GMA sa campaign niya, pabigat pa nga eh. With regards to being appointed as DND secretary. he's done his job, he doesn't need to repay GMA for that. Gibo is now the leader of Lakas-CMD to which GMA is a member. If they win, Gibo will be in the executive and GMA in legislative so they will be working separately.

Why I'm not Voting for Noynoy
Disclaimer : This post presents MY OPINION on why I will not vote for Noynoy Aquino. I wrote this because I want to. This is not meant to dissuade you from voting for him otherwise this would have been entitled "Why YOU should not vote for Noynoy". So if you're a Noynoy fan who's just reading this to find fault, please click the Back button of your browser now. But if you have an open mind, you're most welcome to read on....
1. He's a weakling.
I had this impression of Noynoy when I saw his campaign commercial three years ago. He was campaigning for senator then. At 47, he still needed his mom to campaign for him. And may line pang "kung hindi lagot siya sa nanay niya!" Naman! If you haven't seen that commercial, here's a link :
Nonoy for Senator
2. He's not so "magaling" (I don't want to use a harsher description)
I had my next negative impression of Noynoy when I saw him on TV during the ZTE investigation in senate. Neri read a text message saying that the current broadband services in the Philippines cost around $20/mbps which is so much higher than those in other countries. When it was Noynoy's turn to ask questions, he said that he doesn't believe that broadband service costs that high here. He further said that he has an internet connection at home and pays only about 1000Php per month, stressing that "per month na yun!" Either hindi niya narinig ng maayos yung sinabi ni Neri or dakdak siya ng dakdak ng hindi niya alam yung sinasabi niya. Either way, mali! This was so vivid in my memory because at that moment I was so ashamed we have such ignorant senator. His recent interview with Philstar wasn't impressive either.
3. He doesn't want to be president.
The most productive employees are those who love and enjoy their job. Noynoy never said, he wanted this job. He always stress that it was the people who wanted him to run.
4. Platform of hate.
Noynoy and Co. is campaigning on a platform of hate. They keep telling this administration sucks and that theirs will be different. They make themselves look good by making others look bad.
5. He's not objective.
6. He's not his own man.
It is the LP and not Noynoy who is running for president. The party won't even make him their president. Why's that?
7. He's so inconsistent.
If you follow the debates and intereviews, you'll know how inconsistent he is. From what would be the role of Kris, to RH Bill, Cha-cha, taxes, the Luisita issue, etc.
8. He has not excelled.
Noynoy is lucky to have been born to a rich, famous and powerful family. He has everything he needed to excel but he did not. He's just a graduate of a 4-year course, no masters no PhD. He does not have his own corporation, not even a foundation. What has he done all his life? Buti pa si Villar kahit mahirap, umangat. At buti pa si Kris, may naibentang bahay para itulong sa campaign ni Noynoy. Eh siya, ano naipundar niya? Hanggang ngayon nanatili siyang anak ni Cory at Ninoy, at kapatid ni Kris.
9. He's never been a leader.
Even now that he's his party's presidential candidate, he remains only the vice president of LP. Don't his partymates think that he's good enough to be their leader?
These are minor reasons...
10. He doesn't speak well, I think there's something wrong with his tongue.
11. He doesn't have his own family, which clearly shows he's not ready to commit.
12. He hasn't pass a single bill considering he's been in congress for 9 years, and 3 years in senate.
13. There's too many people around him and influences his views.
14. Never been to a forum without a codigo.
15. He smokes.
