i'm currently trying out wordpress and liking it so far, i'll be on an indefinite hiatus from blogger. in the meantime, you can visit a better version (i hope) of lisaisms here [lisallanto.wordpress.com].

it would be great to have studios like these here in the philippines. we already have lots of talented artists. unfortunately, we lack the resources.

On another story, PGMA pardoned Joseph Estrada. Like others, i am also disappointed with this news. The basic premise of this decision (as far as what we hear in the news goes) is political and social unity. Ever since she became president because of Estrada's ouster, Arroyo has been bombarded with criticism and impeachment attempts not only from Estrada's supporters, but from other parties as well. I can understand the decision on this standpoint-- I suppose it would be better if she could get at least one angry mob off her back.
But from a judicial standpoint, this really does not make any sense. The point of the whole justice system is to punish people who have been proven guilty of committing a crime in order to stop them from doing the same thing again and set an example to other citizens. In basic Psychology, this is to alter one's behavior through operant conditioning. Assuming this is indeed effective, how in the world are we supposed to minimize, if not eradicate, instances of graft and corruption in our country, if our own government does not adhere to these principles? It even goes as far as petty criminal cases, such as those who have been convicted of house robberies-- does this mean that if they ask for "pardon" , they will be set free as well? Or how about if they reason out that his/her mother is dying and they just HAVE to be with her in her last hours? Do we set them free? Our government put to jail someone who has robbed our country of millions of pesos, and after a few years and a plea for presidential pardon, they set that person free. And this person NEVER even said sorry, much less admit his guilt. They might as well liberate every criminal in Bilibid or wherever else in our country who asks for pardon. heck.

A pardon is the forgiveness of a crime and the penalty associated with it.how does one seek "full, free, and unconditional pardon" when one does not admit that he made a mistake?
i still stand by my government conspiracy theory.

argh. i hate people who think they know everything. and people who think they're the ones in charge. and people who think that they are actually deserving.
i was riding an FX back to Tektite when the guy beside me received a call. he said that there was a blast in ayala.
but what's with (a) the police not being sure if it was a bomb, (b) reporters who do not listen, and (c) the business-as-usual treatment? anyone can see that the blast could not have been from an LPG tank. once the question has been answered, you do not have to ask it again the very next second.
reporter: deliberate attack ho ba ang pagsabog? is it a bomb?
police person: as of the moment, hindi pa ho namin nakukuha ang lahat ng ebidensya. hindi pa ho natin masasabi na bomb nga yun.
reporter: nakita niyo ba yung mga parte ng bomba?
being pinoys, we get to joke about everything and tend to take most things lightly.
but it's really different when it hits close to home. thank God nobody i knew was hurt.

i went back to Megamall and rode an FX to Tektite again. the driver was the grumpiest old man i've ever encountered in my life, cursing at everything and everyone. he got pissed off at the guy sitting beside me. he stopped the vehicle, went down, opened the door on the left of the guy (i was on his right) and threatened him with a rusty itak.
what the hell is wrong with this day?
