On the road to recession?

I saw this question on the news tonight. I was like, "What?", when it flashed on-screen. Seriously.

I believe that the Philippines has been in recession for a very long time. That's probably why most Filipinos don't care about the world-wide recession going on. Honestly, only rich people (e.g. businessmen) get affected. The majority of the Filipino people don't care at all.

Sheesh. That's all for tonight...

For some other news: I got nominated for Mr./Ms. 24/7 in the KHQ Awards '09. LOL.

This series is awesome! It's on my recommended list, by the way. Like CSI, it's inspiring me to take Forensic Medicine but then, of course, I'm not taking that. (I'll probably take a few minor subjects about the field but I don't see myself doing this for my whole life. I'd probably be a crime reporter. Yes, I would love that very much.) It's about five Forensic Medicine students who try to catch the final words of the deceased. There's a moral lesson at the end of every episode.

I just find Daiki too cliche. It seems like he's a Gary Stu, sometimes. Even Holmes makes mistakes. But, then again, Daiki is cute when he's asking the most trivial stuff (like mixing two kinds of food together or using different ringing tones for different people). What he's saying is actually very true. It makes you think, "Yeah! Why do I do that?" (Ouch, it hurts the book... I should always use a bookmark from now on...)

Two new books

I bought two books from Booksale today. It's been actually a long time since I visited... My purchases are: Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux and The River by Gary Paulsen. They amounted to 70 pesos. I saw a copy of Homer's Oddysey for 30 pesos and Dennis Hamley's Of Dooms and Death, but I found The River. So, yeah. I also saw three copies of Anne of Avonlea and a wonderful novel by Tess Gerritsen, The Sinner. It sounded so intriguing and spine-chilling. Maybe I'll buy one someday... I mean, Tess Gerritsen is an expert in medicine-related stories. She's a master in those kinds of stuff.

My book count is now up to 95 books.

An excerpt from my non-online diary

16-05-09
I feel that the Lord is speaking to me through the verses that I am reading, the Israelites' 40 year journey to be exact. I feel that my "land flowing with milk and honey" is the University of the Philippines Diliman. It is most certainly true, because God has been with me all the way, preparing my future ever since I was born. My whole life is laid out before me; I only have to go and grasp it.

Guidelines when entering the Promised Land:
1. Do not forget about the Lord.
2. Love and obey the Lord always.
3. Honor God through everything I do.
4. Be careful not to be enticed by the world. Worship God only.
5. ALWAYS PRAY~~

Yes, this is truly one of the best animes ever. The storyline was kind of flawless and the mystery is indeed very intriguing. The plot is brought about efficiently and the characters are well-rounded, although some of the character designs are not to my liking.

The last episode is one of the most dramatic I have ever seen. Lelouch's death scene was very well done. The drama was very good, actually. Suzaku's killing of his best friend is one of the most admirable things he did. The sacrifice of one brought about world peace. Now, that is something I would like to see.
