The last straw? Not!
I had started to write this post with just the first part of the title, ending at the question mark. But recent events has forced me to append the exclamation.
When I first heard the news of the Fort Bonifacio stand-off I thought this might be it, the proverbial last straw for the Marines. And perhaps rightly so, as it is the Military who have the biggest capability to get anything going in the way of change. No matter what legions of progressives tell you about the masses who must lead the forces of change, it will still be the Military who will make the decisive action that supporters will rally behind. Even EDSA 1 will prove this. And especially so will EDSA 2.

Not the same banana
Definitely not the same banana, Sam‘s new home is. We (actually I) decided (and he meekly went along) that since we were on a new webhost we should change templates as well. His choice was the next generation Kubrick theme K2, with quite a few customizations implemented by yours truly.
You can download K2 from here and get help and lots of ideas here.
. . . Plus c’est la meme chose
It’s ironic to think that the person we are trying to get rid of is probably the most qualified leader we have had in 20 years. This is what I heard from my boss earlier today, as he proceded to enumerate the occupations of our presidents from Marcos (a soldier and an orator), Cory (we wanted her husband, but he was dead), Ramos (another soldier, who served under Marcos), Estrada (an actor and city mayor). On the other hand, GMA is a trained economist, and perhaps it is this training which allowed her to pull the wool over the people’s eyes just before Christmas—allowing price rollbacks along with the influx of dollars from Christmas-vacationing balikbayans—effectively giving the public the impression that VAT (like vitamins) is good for you.

Moved In!
Say hello to our new webhost, Bayanhosting. Where the connections are faster, the service is great, and where people actually do something to help you out.
New theme, again, although I can’t say I’ve settled for this one, but I do think it’s time for me to stop fiddling with the themes and get on with the meatier occupation of actually writing something. Yeah, call me obsessive-complusive, I’d agree with you 120%. I just get a thrill clicking away at the new WordPress 2.0.1 Theme interface where you can actually see a snapshot of your new theme, and have a wysiwg preview of your post as it acutally will show up on your blog. Blame the techie web dabbler in me, plus the myriad of available themes on the internet for the taking.
