back to basics

it's been quite sometime since i performed musically. now, it's haunting me. i was a music student in the early part of this decade and now i'm one of the few who just want to live life to the fullest. it was a roller coaster ride from where it started and believe me it's one heck of a ride. the years are sinking in my thoughts as i wander in this uncertain route called life. but it's all worth it.


getting dizzy now.


i was talking to a bunch of new found friends discussing life while fixing the 93 corolla that we're fixing. (yup! i wreck one - but that's a whole different story.) we all got a few things in common - cars, music and living life. my only difference is that im older than them - way lot older. the good thing is i never felt it. it's not that big of'a deal. i don't even notice it when im with friends. (yes, they're around twenty's.) i feel the same inspite of everything. but all of it rushed down last night, filling my head with still photographs of everything that happened through the years. it felt like i left myself 10 years ago and now it's catching up.

it's all good! i don't have any regrets and i feel fantastic.

The Philippines’ Hidden Failure Modes: Why the Country Keeps Getting Stuck

The Philippines does not lack talent, young people, entrepreneurs, natural resources, or policy ideas. Its deeper problem is that the country often struggles to turn plans, budgets, and reforms into reliable public services, productive jobs, resilient infrastructure, and long-term national capability. The visible crises—floods, blackouts, corruption scandals, inflation, debt, and political instability—are symptoms of a larger system. At the center is a governance-and-accountability gap: public money is allocated, agencies announce programs, projects begin, but the results too often fail to reach the people who need them. The core failure: a capability gap The Philippines’ most dangerous hidden failure mode is not simply corruption or debt. It is the difficulty of converting public spending into durable capability. The Philippine Institute for Development Studies argues that the country’s development constraints come not mainly from a lack of policies or resources, but from fragmented i...

Thailand Changed Constitutions More Than Philippines Did—Yet They Are Both Unstable

The comparison is useful precisely because it shows that frequent constitutional change is not the cause of instability so much as a symptom of unresolved struggles over political power. Thailand has had about 20 constitutions/charters since 1932, many after coups; the Philippines has kept its 1987 Constitution essentially unchanged for over 35 years, yet both remain politically volatile. What Thailand’s churn shows Thailand’s repeated rewrites were often attempts by competing forces—military, monarchy-aligned elites, elected governments, and mass movements—to lock in a favorable political settlement. The 1997 “People’s Constitution,” the 2007 post-coup charter, and the 2017 military-era constitution each embodied different rules, but none created durable democratic legitimacy. In other words, Thailand changed the **rules** frequently, but the underlying conflict—over who controls elected government, the military, and unelected institutions—remained unresolved. The 1997 order ended in ...
