I managed to watch the arrival, though, up to the Malacanang story-telling. As RedLobster said in her blog, everyone was wondering where Dubya went except for RedLobster and BlueNun. He didn't fool us for a minute. It wasn't McDo, RL; it was Jollibee that did him in! Sabi na nga ba, weapon of mass destruction yang Champ na yan, e. Kidding aside, it must've been all that exotic raw food he ate in Japan. Americano talaga....wala na ngang bases, nag-iwan pa ng toxic waste. At least sa US territory siya nagsabog ng lagim. I don't believe that it was a planned top-secret sidetrip to the embassy. If that were the case, why did GMA come out of her office to meet him at the appointed time? She, at the very least, would have been informed by her guest that he would be making that little stop-over if, indeed, it was planned. (Ang bastos naman ni Dubya kung hindi man lang niya inabisuhan yung hostess niya. Terrible breach of protocol, even for someone as casual as he.) Maniwala kayo--emergency uu-stop yon.
Eight hours lang siya dito, titignan pa niya yung embassy?! Doesn't add up. His facial expression at the wreath-laying confirmed our suspicion. 
Talagang mukhang hindi pa nailabas lahat ng sama ng loob. Obvious to those who were on to him, right, RL?While he was at it, Laura went nuts buying pearls from the Muslims. That was in line with their support of GMA's programs to boost our economy and promote friendship & understanding between Christians and Muslims. Para maubos na yang mga terrorist-terrorist na yan. Magtitinda na lang silang lahat ng perlas. Focused talaga sila Dubya at Laura sa mission nila to fight terrorism. Ang galing!
We have to hand it to the Noypwits, girls. We are world-class. 
I couldn't help my tears during the children's show for Laura. We're so blessed with talent, among many other gifts. We have a beautiful, diverse culture--truly a melting pot of East and West. We have so much going for us but we choose to throw it all away. My heart went out to those little kids. 
What kind of future are we bequeathing them? It was bursting with pride, too, at the sight of Scholasticans performing the way we were taught to perform as little girls. It was a shining moment for our alma mater. 
T2Green, I hear ya re Guingona. Parang he's blowing hot and cold nga....walang paninindigan. You have to remember, though, that he is a gentleman of the old school. He had to do what he had to do, and be gracious about it even if he wanted to spit in the guy's face. He made his position clear enough anyway, before Bush came. Good manners and right conduct were the order of the day, I think. Besides, in the few minutes that they were speaking on the tarmac, I'm sure Georgie-Worgie got some of Tito's spit on his face. Good enough for me.
As far as "datěng" goes, Dubya wins hands-down in my book. Ayoko talaga ng lalaking malamán as in Bill Clinton or Al Gore. I like 'em lean and mean. Takpan mo na lang ng supot yung mukha. Cara de estůpido talaga si Dubya.
Charm-wise, he & Bill are even-steven. Politico talaga. Did you notice how George was looking at Gloria? Ang lagkit ng tingin! 
Baka crush niya kasi pa-cute nang pa-cute si GMA plus matalino pa. Try to catch a replay with malice on your mind and you'll see what I mean.
Speaking of replays, I still have to see one. I caught snippets of his speech before the joint Houses but nothing much registered. I've been so worn out by my killer schedule that I keep falling asleep soon after I hit the sack. I haven't seen tuloy who was at the dinner and who wasn't. Re FVR, RedLobster, that one's as Amboy as Amboy gets. Must've taken something really important to keep him away from the state dinner, unless he's out of the country. Maybe his daughter took a turn for the worse? She's been in ICU in Asian Hospital for several months now, after she was hit by a car here in BF. I hope that's not why FVR wasn't there. Poor girl.
Fuck Angara for foisting FPJ on us!
He knows he'll never be president 
, much as he's lusting for the position, so he did the next best thing (for himself, that is): Persuade FPJ to run. He must've told FPJ not to worry; that he would just be a figurehead and that he, Angara, would call the shots. I wonder if the FPJ/Noli tandem is true. Baka naman President FPJ, Vice Angara, sabay patatalsikin si FPJ by fair means or foul tapos siya na ang uupo. Ayoko din sa kanya. 
Sobrang trapo. Wasn't his wife president of the CCP during Erap's time? Grabe the in-fighting at the CCP then.
Good to have you back,
. For a while there, akala ko ayaw mo na mag-blog, e. 
We missed you.
Wow! What a lengthy blog this turned out to be. Making up for two days' absence, e.
