I am hoping to see these in our streets.

I had fun exploring this site: streetfilms.org. I am really amazed on how different countries' traffic systems are improving, providing cleaner, better and safer roads to pedestrians and motorists alike.

Tell me why we can't do this in our cities:



The only place I know where there are car-less days is Fort Bonifacio, where the military offices are located. They have their car-less days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I can recall.

Bus Rapid Transit in Bogota, Columbia:



Kamusta naman yung bus dito satin, barubal, parang joke. That's why I loathe driving here in Manila. If this is the vision of Manila's future.. count me in.

12 Little Things

What can I do for my country?

Last week, I bought this book entitled "12 Little Things A Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country" written by Alexander Lacson. It has been out for a couple of years already and I regret to have it just now. This 108-page book is quite small and short but is packed with a lot of mind-opening and interesting reads. His "Little Things" are things we must know and do as a Filipino. Though at first it may seem difficult, but we can do this all together.

The book is endorsed by a lot of important people. He also added giving out this book to others as a challenge, that is why I will be giving out some this Christmas. I really believe in this book and what it can do to our country. I have been practicing some of it now and I find it really patriotic and fun (believe me!). Only if all Filipinos had the chance to read this book.

I will do a series on these 12 little things in the near future to emphasize on the importance of these little things. That is what I can do to help my country.

Just like CPR.

Yey! I am back at blogspot after a verrrry long time. The last entry I made was dated February 2005, approximately 47 months ago. Funny thing is that I forgot that I already have an account here! I was trying to sign up but could'nt use the url onchie.blogspot.com, so I searched it up and found out that it was mine! Voila! I didn't have to sign up for another account but I have to "revive" the account that I have made long time ago, just like CPR.

JC started his blog and was inviting me to do so. But I was telling him that I had nothing to blog about. But after a few re-considerations, I managed to suck it it all in and found an inspiration. Our Existence. That is why I entitled my blog, "Im An Existentialist". By definition, existentialism is a philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual in a hostile and indifferent universe and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for consequences of one's acts. Existentialist is a person who believes and practices this philosophy.

I have also been very concerned of our country. I am being socially aware and responsible now. I try to update myself on different social issues like Charter Change, Fertilizer Fund Hearings and The Impeachment Complaint. Since I came home from Singapore 2 months ago, I realized the potential of the Philippines, the Filipinos. We can be great, we are great.

I will be sharing my opinions and insights on different matters regarding our Country and how we can change it for the better. I am hoping that I, WE can change. We have the freedom of choice and responsibility for our actions. Let's all work on this together now. Just like CPR, we can revive the glorious days of the Philippines!
