Rage (PART I)

So I guess I made myself a part of history yesterday, of some sort. And it was not the first time, way back February last year, I was there at Ayala when GMA the bullshit declared the State of National Emergency, when one buwaya/pulis patola physically hurt me with his shit shield, as a college freshman that I was, I cried since the wound he caused at the tip of my right foot bled, when I, with a thousand of other rallyists from different sectors marched all the way from Edsa to Ayala, when business establishments in there dropped almost a million shredded pieces of paper, or confetti..
So I suppose this page could not contain all the experiences I had during that day, so maybe these phrases will do: Flashing lights from the media. Known reporters from different tv stations. Businessmen taking pictures of the rallyists, food inavailability, red shirts, helicopters, hundreds of policemen, government stupidity and violence. The hell, so it was labeled 'de facto martial law'.

Yesterday bears a resemblance to February 24, 2006.

During the first half of my yesterday, I was stuck in traffic, so I was clueless and an hour late for my 10am class, I was still in Bacoor at 10:30am, Chong said “Spread the news about global warming, so the people will know, less automobiles, no pollution, no traffic” or something like that, he’s turning to be an environmentalist, kudos to him. Another malas incident, my bus seatmate puked, good thing he brought a plastic with him, and bad thing I saw all the mess he did, I accidentaly glanced at the plastic LABO. Ulk.
I said..”Chong, malas ang araw ko.”
Mas maganda na siguro sa tagalog ang susunod.

Nagbabasa ako sa library, pagtingin ko sa phone ko, 11 messages recieved.
“Anak, uwi agad after class” – dad
“Yan, anong oras uwi mo? May gulo sa Makati, wag magpagabi!” - mom
“FW: Nung nagrecess sa hearing in oakwood mutiny dun nag-walk out ang mga lolo nyo. Ngayon nagpahayag ang CBCP na sasama sa martsa, pls. paki-unite sa mga nasa baba” – Mara, Anakbayan
“ALERT: Gen. Lim, Trillanes, Guingona and other Magdalo military men are marching in Makati calling for GMA’s ouster. Standby po tayo para sa posibleng pagkilos.” – Loise, KARATULA

Salamat sa mga nag-update sakin, dahil nasa school ako at LOST. As in lost sa mga pangyayari. Sumilip ako sa tambayan, medyo magulo, at alam ko na kung bakit, kailangan naming kumilos. Alam kong tama ang desisyon kong umabsent sa klase ko ng 2:30, mas mahalaga at makabuluhan ang pagkilos. Nasa mrt ako kasama ang mga kasama nang nagtext ang kaklase ko, may warning shots na raw sa Makati, at dahil sa adbenturismo sa dugo ko, hindi naman ako kinabahan, mas nagalit. BADTRIP. Tangina naman, tapos malalaman kong nagsasalita sa Malacañang si Pidi Barzaga, sinabing huwag daw suportahan sina Sen. Trillanes. Tapos, sa lahat ng mga kongerista, akalain mong sya ang pinagsalita ni GMA, hala naman. Dumating kami sa Cubao, andun ang youth sector, marami kami, i swear. Ni-unite kami ni Gabby ng Mapua, sabi niya: hindi kasama sa plano ng Magdalo at ni Trillanes na magmartsa kami hanggang Edsa o Makati, pero kailangan kami, para sa pagbabago. Sandali lang first half pa lang to..

As Sen. Trillanes put it "It is our moral obligation.. to do what is right."
