We were in full type A uniform. Cap, scarf (that itch like hell), yellow colored official tshirt, jacket, silver buckle, fatigue pants and metal-toed combat boots. Tucked in and stiff that makes viagra dependent dudes envy.
Walking at high noon for some 5k is horrendous, much more agonozing carrying those flags with it! I remember constantly being asked by my company if "kaya pa?" - I was and still is not that conan the barbarian type physique.
Gladly I survived, barely. After arriving at the school grounds and after the flags were placed, I went home and called sick for 3 days.
Today, another independence day celebration is underway and the only thing that it brings is hassle. Major thoroughfares are closed to traffic-all day! The parade already ended but the streets remain closed. Grrrr.
Celebrating independence day which is not a holiday off from work is of no significant value. Honestly. I salute those courageous people-heroes- who sacrificed their very lives just for our freedom. And now we are a free people.
But we are not really free.
Yes, we are free from foreign powers, but are we really free? Look around us, we are enslaved much worse than when we were under the sovereignty of other races. We are enslaved by corruption, ignorance, political cronyism We are slaves of our evil selves.
Im still happy with my freedom, but it can be more than this.
