President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address 2009’s Full Transcript

Monday, July 27, 2009

Here’s the full transcript of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address for 2009 for the Republic of the Philippines during a Joint Session at the Congress.

     Thank you, Speaker Nograles, Senate President Enrile, Senators, Representatives, Vice President de Castro, President Ramos, Chief Justice Puno, Ambassadors, friends…

    The past twelve months have been a year for the history books. Financial meltdown in the West spread throughout the world…

    Tens of millions lost their jobs; billions across the globe have been hurt—the poor always harder than the rich. No one was spared…

    It has affected us already. But the story of the Philippines in 2008 is that the country weathered a succession of global crises in fuel, in food, then in finance and finally the economy in a global recession, never losing focus and with economic fundamentals intact…

K-Pop LSS! I Want Nobody Nobody But You! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

First time I heard this song, it was playing all over the novelty radio stations of Metro Manila. It was the English version. However, when I saw the video on Myx, then it’s confirmed…its another Korean Pop song or K-pop. And guess what, it’s gaining popularity among the masa.

The real essence of pop music, nakuha ng kantang ito. Because of the repetitive claps, catchy tunes and chorus that’s making me insane everytime I hear this song, it became an overnight LSS.

Wondergirls is a girl group from South Korea. With the invasion of Koreans themselves and everything Korean (Koreanovelas, Korean songs, Korean restaurants), looks like the Philippines has been chosen to be ROK’s destination. They may haven’t invaded like colonizers of the past but their culture has emanated the minds and hearts of the ordinary Juan and Juana dela Cruz. From Koreanovelas to K-pop songs.

In any ways, this song is sooooooo addictive that it keeps on playing over the radio. I was surprised that these girls’ song was being played over Monster Radio frequently!

And so, J Honey and the Wondergirls….and the beat never changes!

I want nobody nobody but you *clap clap clap* I want nobody nobody but you *clap clap clap* I want nobody nobody but you!! And the song lingers my head over and over again and again and again and again! Hehe!!

I'm Berniemack Arellano, just a simple and boring guy who wants to go amok whenever he's being prevented going somewhere else.

Inspired by the Lonely Planet/Pilot Guides series, I desperately went on to see places and culture as a cure to absolute monotony of life in the early 21st Century despite of financial incapabilities.
