post-coup chuchu

the day is sunny. it's early and bright for me, even if most of the country has been up and at 'em hours ahead of me. but who cares? as long as i'm happy, the world is happy, right? or so that book says. ay, iba pala yata yun. i'm ok you're ok chuva yata yun. whatever.

had a nice weekend, everyone? glued to the tv as usual, for those of us who cannot miron in person in makati. isn't it strange that some soldiers who have gripes about housing and salaries hole up in a posh place like oakwood in glorietta? sabagay, they didn't have to pay naman yata their initial deposit fees there or something, e di pinasabog nila ang parts of that place in a jiffy. haha takot lang ng may-ari nun no. ganda pa naman ng gym doon, at ng pool area.

pero hindi nga. di ba it's strange to have these soldiers gripe about housing and salaries when there are sooooooooo many filipinos out there
in urban poor areas who do not have decent living quarters? buti nga sila may barracks-barracks diyan eh, saka food and suweldo. eh just look at the streets man, daming batang di kumakain, begging, sneering at you if you don't give them alms. salary upgrade-salary upgrade pa hinahanap nila, eh hello, the teachers of this fucking country are the ones underpaid, and di ba may issue ilan sa kanila about not receiving their salaries on time and their loans na ang tagal approve ng gsis ata yun or something? tapos some of them pa handle classes under trees, for gosh sakes, because the government lacks funds in building extra classrooms and stuff. fotah, eh kung mga teachers kaya ang next na mag-mutiny chuva like those soldiers sa oakwood?

imagine it. disgruntled public school teachers taking up arms and taking sm megamall building A as their hole-in place. dialogues:
"we will teach you a lesson you should all learn!!!!!!!!"
"funding of our arms and ammunitions came from years and years of sales of longganisa and other cold cuts in classes!"
"we are making a statement on luxury. our students' favorite hangout place is megamall and this is where they watch movies, but we who teach them cannot even afford to watch a movie here in the deluxe section, so blowing up this place is poetic justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"we are trained in hand to hand combat. why do you think we have heavy wrists when we hit your stupid (pronounced shtyupeed)little hands with wooden rulers!"
"just try to contort our remands and we will make you stand on the corner the whole day!"
"do not mess with us! we are trained snipers! of course, why do you think we can throw you a small piece of chalk more than ten feet away and still hit you bullseye in the middle of your eyes or noo? ha? ha? you talking to me? you talking to me? ha? ha?"

di ba, DIE HARD in megamall, starring your favorite biology teacher or something. kainis.
