chris, gp and i may have different way of looking at things but it does not mean that we have no respect for each other. everything is clear between us. we discuss ideas, though they may be diametrically oppose ideas but those opposing ideas do not make us enemies.

bottomline is, i dream of progressive country and vibrant people and so thus gp and maybe yourself too.

by the way, i know how to distinguish between admiration and mockery. gp used the word “decadent” in a very inoffensive way and not as form of mockery from my standpoint.

as to the old people’s discussion at the plaza everynight, you would be amazed to find out that they talk more sense than most of us.

jcc / gp: ok, i relent. after days of asking myself daily what i value, i’ve come to realize that we need this kind of entertainment in this blog. so on with the show, boys! garo man lang ni platika kan mga gurang sa plaza burubanggui.

jcc: from the looks of it, gp is way ahead of you. he’s assailed your bribe example, effectively belittled your academic background, and called your lifestyle decadent in the face of hunger here in the philippines. but lo and behold… you two apparently share the same dreams. so he says. imagine that….

gp: so after striking down (almost on a daily basis) practically every opinion of every significant blogger here, what’s the principle to be had?

Chris, jcc and I share the same dreams, i think. It is difficult to ride a high horse, almost got thrown by one with a mean spirit.LOL At the end of each of your day, ask yourself what it is that you valued that day. Keep asking that question until you arrive at a good list. You will discover that facing certain situations, you may not want to stand for what you say you value. Some people call it principles. Life is difficult, is the first sentence in the book, “The Road Less Traveled.”
Duh…

your disappointment is personal. there are others who may think that idea discussion could be enlightening. jeff thinks otherwise. mayor robredo did not halt this discussion because it is proof enough that people visit his blog. ano man kaya noy ta medyo balat sibuyas ka. dai man ibinogtak ni mayor an blog nainiyo para pakiramdaman an “feeling mo”.

ano man pati anlabot mo sa ideya ko dai ko man ipinagpipiritan iyan saimo. kung kontra ka okay lang, demokrasya pa kita noy.

indeed there is a time and season for all things… and it’s quite disappointing to see that this blog has turned into GP’s and JCC’s personal / private playground.

jcc: prat’s right. supporting the “bribe” example? not the best move there.
prat: get off your high horse, dude!

i’m sure jcc would have something more to say after prat’s “decadent” remark. while we will miss the entertainment (it is!), i think that it is best continued somewhere else. in jcc’s blog, maybe. duman, pwede po tabi kamo magralatikan nin pahingurag.

marhay na banggui tabi sa gabos.
