I just read about the Wowowee tragedy in ULTRA, Pasig (Pinas). I felt pity which is normal then I felt rage which is useless. Those people queued at Ultra hoping they’d at least get a few pesos by being one of the millions in the rating wars of ABS-CBN. Aside from looking like beggars & fools (targets of the accompanying jokes of the show’s hosts), now they will have to deal with deaths & injuries & missing limbs. Will ABS’ execs pay for their ensuing medical bills?

The accident shows what state our country is in: the poverty that can never be resolved (I hope I’m wrong) and the corruption of its People. Nakakalungkot. I feel impotent because no matter how much I rage, I feel like there is nothing I can do.

On the same vein, I feel even more impotent at home. Now that my in-laws are here not only am I stressed at work, I’m doubly stressed at home. Yes, they’re nice, decent people. But they are not equipped (mentally & physically) to look after a toddler. Plus I do question their hygiene standards. They’ve been the source of a never-ending-discussion between my husband & me. And they’ve only been here for a week!

If I can only ship them back where they belong… but alas, I’m impotent in my own castle.
