Her predictions today consisted of a series of questions for every sign, but they’re rhetorical questions…geez; it’s a good thing the lucky color forecast wasn’t in the form of a question: is the lucky color today lavender or very light violet? She said that was the lucky color of the day today Wednesday. it’s too late to run but i’m still running, anyway there are a few cars where i run; i got out early but noticed some clutter and decided to  clear that first although i could have just ignored it,….brb. (i don’t have lots of lavender clothes…parang wala…teka. i’ll just wrap a light purple scarf over white or what. later.)

i’m tired of monday-morning-quarterbacking from everybody!None of them said that when the brother of the hostage taker was making a scene on live TV, no one!! no one made a phone call, or sent an SMS to a public official they knew, or tweeted about it at the moment it was occurring, everybody felt uneasy (i did) but everyone sat or stood watching with mouths agape, and now, everybody is …  a Genius!!!

was switching and flipping five channels at that time, one female news anchor very, very  softly said “sana….hindi ito nakikita ng hostage-taker.” (i hope…the hostage-taker cannot see this). you can run the tape again and find out who it was. Since i was switching five channels,  cannot now identify who it was; and her co-anchor replied, “may tv yata sa bus” (“there’s probably a tv on the bus”); both were just thinking aloud as the event was unfolding. THEY WERE NOT GROUND COMMANDERS. At the time the brother was flailing himself in front of the cameras, and everybody was just watching and trying to understand it,   those two were the only geniuses (it might have been Ces or Lynda, check the tapes)  but they weren’t in charge…who was in charge at that time? And that, your honor, is the rhetorical question for the day. i guess this is my cue to run, baka kung ano pa masabi ko dito…

using the Nietzsche overused quote, the morning show astrologer introduced her forecasts by saying “what won’t stop you will make you stronger” (“what won’t kill you…etc.”) i always tell my students if you must use a cliché — so people would know you know it’s a cliché — don’t complete it or try to tweak it in a different direction; like saying, what won’t kill you… will surely make you want to die of shame! but that’s just me. she said the lucky color of the day was blue green.
