ironic

probably the only good thing that the rally in makati today resulted in was being sent home at 2pm.

we saw rally participants meet up in front of rustan's - a stark irony to the empty (but always full on normal days) steel parking lot fronting mercury drug in glorietta.

in the sweltering heat outside were fishball vendors, ice cream peddlers, and a whole lot of people walking around as if we were in luneta. but inside rustan's, everything was glitzy, pretty, and luxurious (not to mention on sale!).

to top it off, there they were... commonfolk who had no idea what the hell they were fighting for but were there anyway, while people who worked hard to earn a living were made to stop work because there was a big rally outside.

just another good-meets-bad plot. who needs soap operas when you can watch the news!
