Last Minute Syndrome

5/24/2014 6:04:59 AM

Isa sa mga sakit ng tao ay ang “katamaran.” Daig pa nya ang kanser, heart attack, at stroke kung tutuusin. Kung may pambasang sagisang ang mga karamdamansa ating lipunan, ito yun. Oo nga,ang katamaran. Bow. At isa sa mga kalunos-lunos na resulta ng ating pagiging “katam” ay ang pagkakaroon pa ng isang kumplikasyon na kung tawagin ay “last minute syndrome.”

Daig pa nito ang “last two minutes” (mas okay kung ang magsasabi nito ay yung lumang coliseum barker sa PBA; yung medyo monotonous ang dating) sa basketball. Dito, mas clutch ang mga tao. Mas nagmamadali. Mas maraming napapraning. At mas maraming umiinit ang ulo na humahantong sa kanilang pagkadismaya.

Kaya ang resulta ay magpaparinig sa Facebook at magwiwika ng “Putanginang COMELEC yan! Wala na raw extension! Samantalang dumating naman ako ng last day para magparehisto!”

Basa-Basa 'Din 'Pag May Time

Ito ang isa sa mga pinakasakit nating mga Pilipino: ang katamaran magbasa. Hindi lang siyang isang simpleng karamdaman, dahil madalas ito rin ang nagiging ugat ng ating pagiging mangmang o ignorante, at kung minsan pa nga ay ang pagiging arogante.

Yan na naman tayo eh. Lumabas na naman ang pagiging balat-sibuyas nating mga Pinoy eh. Parang two years ago, nagngingit tayo sa galit sa isang foreigner na nagsabi ng mga bagay na ayaw niya sa Pilipinas.

Tapos, taong dos-mil-katorse na, may blogger lang na inayawan ang pagkain natin eh nagngitngit naman tayo sa galit.

Oo, nagalit tayo sa aleng ito.

I know. I am neither a commentator nor even a legitimate advocate. But this is just my opinion about why we, the citizens of the Republic of the Philippines, should do our part in exercising the right of suffrage. 

Yes, despite all the badmouthing we heard from the all corners, or even on the media regarding the government and their wrongdoings.
