Long day

I don’t mind traveling far, I just need to have a very good reason to go. The last time I went to Quezon City was when Mike and I got Fonzie from the breeder. Today we had the opportunity to go to the big city to attend our inaanak’s first birthday party in a restaurant along Quezon Avenue.

We didn’t stay long; we left a little past 3 to visit Mike’s favorite church, Crossroad 77. I must say that it’s one of the coolest churches I’ve been to (the list isn’t long).

After that, we met up with Ronan at Greenhills to attend service after shopping for throw pillows. Greenhills is like a can of sardines and a can of mackarel stacked side by side.

We then traveled to Makati to have dinner at Heaven & Eggs. It was my first time to eat there and I must say that I was really pleased with the food that was serve to me. Mike’s sandwich was delightfully tasty, too. We went home right after.

You see, I don’t mind going far from sweet home Alabang. I just need a good reason—nay, reasons—to go. The birthday party, service, and the throw pillows convinced me to go.

On the Bill

Life is full of its comings and goings. But it's no longer good if there are more people coming than those going. I've recently read on the internet the latest bill being implemented and how some people claim that they represent the majority who do not approve of it. In a country with a growth rate of 2.04 percent (that's 90 million today), I think the family planning bill is needed. Contraception is good for people who cannot control when their hormones kick in (that's a lot of people). I also believe that the population has a direct effect on the success of a country. It's simple, really. Think about this: would a country grow if it has to take care of 90 million heads everyday, with more on the way than leaving? That's too much for a small country with really big dreams. Imagine serving a populace with families bigger than what they've planned. Look at the upper class, they've only started a number they can feed and now they can feed even more if they choose to. We're already lacking on so many things - so many problems and all - the easiest, I think, would be to control population growth. I think it would balance the scales a bit.  I am not against the CBCP, but we seriously need serious population control. I am for the bill.
