-Alone in a crowded room-
Today proved to be one of the most eventful... well, to me at least. I had another afternoon in Krispy Kreme; it always is packed during weekends. After that, I decided to dop by "Fully-Booked" a bookstore. I decided to look for something that hadto do with The Simpsons, and successful I was. I bought the "Bart Simpson's Guide to Life". Utterly hilarious. As always The Simpsons have never failed to continue to make me smile. Monday is avery important day for the country as we are celebrating the EDSA revolution. To those who aren't familiar with this, I'll explain. Taking place in 1896, it was also known as the Yellow Revolution due to the abundant presence of yellow ribbons during the revolt. This was an action against the 20 year dictatorship under Martial Law of President Ferdinand Marcos. Heroes for the revolt were Ninoy Aquino; who unfortunately shot dead after his arrival back from the U.S, and his late wife Corazon Aquino; who was the First woman president of the country and of the Democratic Republic. We owe her our freedom up to this day.Many people around the world rejoiced and congratulated Filipinos they knew. Bob Simon, an anchorman at CBS said, "We Americans like to think we taught the Filipinos democracy. Well, tonight they are teaching the world." Nearly 2,000,000 Filipinos were present during the EDSA revolt. To all those men, women and children who stood their ground, thank you... Freedom is not the result of war, but is the result of reasoning...
