Waves of Destruction
Was it an act of god?
Or just a coincidence in nature...
Nonetheless people died that day
Swept by the ocean they once knew as a friend
It all happened last Sunday, striking parts of South and South East Asia. Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Maldives even Myanmar and far off Somalia.
Never in the past years of Asia has this happened in such a wide scale, encompassing 10 or so countries. The only catastrophes which could match up to it was the great 70 feet tall tsunami in Japan which kill 28000 and more people who were celebrating their religous tradition on a certain beach in japan. Also another tragedy was that of the Krakatoa eruption, where the ensuing tidal wave devoured 36,000 people in the island of Sumatra.
The Irony
What it ironic is the fact that in Indonesia, the worst hit province was that of Aceh. And we all know Aceh is one of the black horses of Indonesia. A province where secessionists like in East Timor before it seceded from Indoensia, fight the government and now another catastrophe has struck the weary province.
On Thailand, the world-renowned Puhcket was obliterated. Dozens of tourists and locals swept and devoured by the sea.
And how could Sri Lanka, much farther away from the epicenter of the quake be affected so much, much more than those near the center of it all. As of now, there are 12,000 dead in Sri Lanka and 26,000 and more in the whole region.
But what does this tell us? Is a warning from an omnipotent source or is it just an act of nature? Iregardless, what this waves of destruction and death has shown us, is that man despite its new gained advances in technology, science and every facet of life- we are still vunrable- we are weak.
The whole human race is destined to die out like that... we are a species which like all living things are not able to avoid anything that natures throws at us.

But what do we do now? Yes we do know our weakness but we should learn to be ready for any ill willed act by the skies, heaven, the sea or the earth. We as humans have the ability to feign death and use it we must.

So how do we save lives? Just to learn from this and be prepared for the next attacks. Like in here in the Pacific we have a warning system to stave off any tsunami onsalughts. But sadly in the Indian Sea they didn't have that kind of infastructure that would help avoid casualties. What those who have been struck by this disaster must do is to strengthen their communications systems. I believe Thailand goverment knew hours before that a tsunami would strike but they were not able to communicate that well to their forsaken tourist mecca. Also in Sri Lanka, it was hours after the earthquake, it should have been common sense that earthquakes in the sea would mean tsunamis in the coast line.
Let's just all pray for those who have departed over 26000 of them and counting. Just like in the eruption of Krakatoa before where a tsunami ensued, hitting ironically again the Island of Sumatra- Indonesia, also the one near the epicenter in these recent turn of disasters.
I hope that all of those who have been suffering because of these recent turn of events be given the proper compassion and aid that man should give to his fellow brethren.
Seeking Change
Pag naging presidente ako, eto ang aking "grand plan" upang masakop ang buong pilipinas bwahahaha
Just joking.
I know the philippine goverment is all fucked up. With dirt bag politicians creaming up the whole place. Well what the heck, I know there are alot of problems. And many do see that problem but those damn farts do not say any solutions. All they do is talk, talk, talk and complain, complain, complain... they are no worse than those leeches.
So I know the problem, well maybe I have the solution. So here's my recommendations for the goverment. Like a "riseta" from a doctor.
So no matter how fucked up our goverment is maybe we still have a chance to fix it.
That and maybe I'll just go watch paint dry.. it's more fun!
Seeking Change
A critic on Philippine public administration
Introduction
The Philippine nation is now facing a full on rage of problems, which seems to be so endless that it makes the Filipinos so desperate that we have to go on abroad. The Filipinos have been forced to accept a government, which is so ineffective that it is causing its own death and the people, which have a stake on it- the Filipinos. The problem is so blatantly out there but some do not see it. Which is sad, this apathetic nature of Filipinos may lead to further problems. But lets not focus on those who have not the eye to see the debacle that’s been happening. Rather lets focus on those who can see the problem. And as political science majors I believe that we have the eye to see this problem in our nation. But what is important than seeing the problem is the capacity to take care and find a solution to these dilemmas.
The Problems Facing Us
But what are these problems that have been plaguing our nation? Well there are a lot of problems, from the likes of rising goods, fiscal crisis and corruption. But what are the root causes of these problems. In order for a mechanic to fix a problem he should know what are the sources of the problems in order to fix it. Now the question begs, what are the causes? One root cause that my eye could see is our old, “classical” approach on public administration. The Philippine bureaucratic system of governance is so old that it doesn’t work for our country. Other nations have moved on with how they deal with their people but the Philippines has lagged far behind. The reason why the bureaucratic style of governing is so negative to our country is that it is a system which does not adapt well to the new age of information. What the old system has, is its long hierarchy, which slow the process of implementation down, and not to mention it causes corruption since this kind of system can be abused by those within the system and those who need something from the system. Another flaw in the bureaucratic style of governance is that it doesn’t have a clear or set goal, and in the end it ends up being clueless of its existence. Also the classical system has a centralized form of government which focuses much power on a central figurehead, an example is that the idea of “imperial manila” and since all power emanates from Manila, the other provinces should ask permission from this power. The wrong thing about this is based on two things; one is that Manila is so far away that it’s so hard to get something to be implemented. Another problem is that Manila doesn’t really “know” the situation in those provinces, so how could the central power decided even though he has limited knowledge on the affairs of its far off subordinates. A parallel of this can be seen directly on how our government departments work. Let’s say there’s a regional office somewhere in Region 1. If the head there wants a project to be implemented he would have to ask the central head quarters in Manila, which only makes service delivery slow. Also another blunder of the classical system is that it gives out not incentives but ”decentives”. The problem with this is that people within the system are not given the push to excel in their work. As Dr. Manhit always said, “They reward mediocrity”. The old system does this by not giving any incentives to those who have shown superb skills and work. What the old system does is to give everyone, even those who are not excelling; the same kinds of benefits from those who excel, which only makes excelling un-rewarding thus people would just settle to be mediocre. These serious problems have now been bogging our nation down and unless a long-term solution is addressed then our nation’s future seems bleak.
What makes a good critic are those who are able to see a problem of a work and then see the more imaginary “solution”. I am not here just to bash out at our government, I write this paper to also propose a working system that could slowly arrive at these changes.
Social Engineering
What the nation needs is to change the foundations of the government- to completely restructure it. But what “new” structure and form should it take. Well, I wouldn’t go as far as to suggest a federal system. What I would suggest is to make a new form of public administration which more “public” oriented rather than rules oriented, and make it more of a “center of excellence”. What I mean by making it more public oriented is that these various departments should be more accountable to the people it is serving unlike the old system, which adheres to a hierarchy. What this does is that it not only destroys the apathy of the public towards these organizations it also makes these organizations more responsive to the people it is serving. But come on how can we realistically do this in the Philippines? The general populace has that subservient nature which stemmed from long period of colonialism. So how could any of the people really demand accountability when our nature is like that? Well my answer is two things, the more long term one is to reform our culture and the second short term solution to this is to have the public vote these officials of these departments rather than them being appointed by the president. What appointments does is it makes these people accountable not to the Filipino people but to the president. But the wrong thing about this proposal is it completely undermines the power of the executive, so a more realistic solution is to make the president accountable rather than his or her officials. After all she was the one who put them in position. But sadly we have to loop back to the first solution which is “social engineering” what this nation needs is an aggressive public which genuinely knows what it wants and demands to get it from the government. The president has always been accountable but despite this presidents who have failed have been able to avoid punishment- avoiding their accountability. There should be an atmosphere in the nation, which makes a president or anyone in power fear the public, but sadly oligarchs now control the populace, which explains why the public isn’t being feared by the government. So we come back yet again to solution number one, this social engineering that I am advocating should teach the people the basics of political science. Another reason for this apathy of people towards government is the fact that they cannot understand it. So if the people understand how things works then maybe, just maybe the Filipinos would now demand the best out of their leaders. The bottom line is education is the key to social engineering. We should reengineer how people think towards the government. People today look at the government as above them but it should be the other way around- the government by the people, for the people, of the people.
The Role of Media
So after my talk about education another important aspect about the public is information. This information, which flows to the public, will be used later on by the public in making certain judgments on some issues. So what does this have to do with public management? A lot really, in order to install change in the Philippines we should use the most powerful tool to reach the people- that is media. As I stated, that we need is the education of the people and what more powerful tool to reach them than the media. Putting up certain public advisories about the “new styles of governing” and a more poignant use, which I would later discuss, can do this.
Rewarding Excellence
One of the main problems of the Philippine government is that it awards mediocrity. Meaning that employees are decentivized, there is no real reward for excellence. And one way to destroy this kind of atmosphere is to adhere to what the book “reemerging styles of government “ said, which is to award excellence in the work place. But how do we do this in a government, which has a fiscal deficit? The government just can’t hand bonuses, or any raises to these employees. So why not give promotions? Make a competitive environment between the employees, and divisions within the organizations. What this does is to make the employees have a reason to excel in their work and add to that more cheaper than just giving out bonuses. I am not only speaking here of promotions mind you, if a person works poorly then it is just equitable to demote him or her. The main problem with the government now is that it adheres to equality rather than equity. People in nature are not equal therefore work and salary should never be equal. The basis should be on the performance. And employees should not be judged according to seniority, even though a person is senior to others that doesn’t mean he is more excellent than another employee. What the old system does is protect those who have stayed with the organization in terms of time rather than protecting those who give positive contribution to the organization. So under these changes, which aren’t really straining on the budget I believe a new form of atmosphere can be instated in public organizations.
Having An Eye For the Present and the Future.
It always has been a problem at how the government act only on “what is now” not that I am saying that it is bad. The government should have a balance between the future and the present. The problem with our government is that yes we do react on short-term problems but we never really have a plan for the future. The core assumption here is that the government should have a clear “mission vision”. This mission vision should be the guidelines on where the government should go, and after this vision is realized the actors in the government should lay out a plan, which would consider not only future goals but also those of the present. Since you can’t only a have a “far sighted eye” a strategy should also consider any implications to the present situation. After all how could anyone go to the future without going through the present? With that laid clear, I would like to suggest a more comprehensive approach on the strategy. Meaning strategies should be well thought off. Strategies that are just fly by the night should never be instated. Instead serious debate should be considered whenever a strategy is being made. Like in war, public administrators should know their environment and their resources before even attempting in making a strategy. But how to introduce this idea to the government? We’ll it’s simply just to train people to think this way- To appeal to the culture and the employees. The private sector not only relies on the schooling of an employee, rather they train their employees to get the best out of them. Why not in the public sector? Sure it maybe an added cost but its outcome is really helpful to our country.
Breaking Down The “Panday Mentality”
Once upon a time in a land far away, people have been suffering until a savior comes to save the day. And then after long days of peace he left and thus chaos ensued again.
Well that brief story says a lot about Philippine culture and public administration- the “panday mentality”. That someone, a super star a hero would save us all from this fiasco. But the question arises what if this hero suddenly leaves in the night? Like the kingdom of Alexander, when he died, it all came crumbling down-, which very well reflects the Philippines. What is wrong about our country is that we are personality oriented. And this reflects well on the fondness of the masses on showbiz. Naturally whatever culture an employee has it also reflects on his work. People in public organizations, once a savior comes; clings to them so much that they become too dependent on him and once this “savior” leaves it all just falls down. What we need is to institutionalize change rather than “giving change” What these “saviors” does is that they give change temporarily, what they should do is to put these changes inside the genes of an organization. So if ever a budding idealist comes he should keep in mind the idea that public managers are not saviors they are teachers who would teach the organization how to fix itself.
Selling the Idea
A factor in instituting change is to sell that change that you want. But how? As I said before, media plays a role in this reinvention, simply because we want the public to know of this new means of administration, to inform them and what better way than to use Media, all forms, from paper to television and even ads. But this may seem costly, so I instead propose that any media outlet is mandated to have slots for public service announcements. This is not only useful in selling the idea of a new form of public management. This can also be used within the new style of government. What public services advertisements do is, inform the public of the projects of the government. Right now PT4 a once planned to be channel for public announcements is really not in top shape, no one really watches PT4. So it fails as a organization. Instead of letting this dark horse remain, what I suggest is to close PT4 down and have the other titans of media, mandated to have public announcements slots in their schedules. This is a cheap and better way of informing the public. After all this is the information age, and it is vital for a government to deliver information to the public. So what does this all lead to? This spreading of ideas, lead to people’s interest on the government, and as people become interested they become more involved in the government- and thus slowly erasing the apathetic nature of the denizens of the Philippines towards governance.
Ensuring Quality
The private sector has this thing which they call “customer satisfaction”. Meaning that the customer’s satisfaction is their number one priority(well aside from getting profit) The government on the other hand, only concern themselves of delivering the service, nothing more, nothing less. They don’t care if the service is bad and they don’t care if they even end up in creating debts. Why is that so? Since people in public administration perceive the government as bottomless well with no end with its cash. But in reality that is not true, an example is the said “fiscal crisis” of the Philippines. What this mentality does is make an environment that supports needless spending. This kind of environment makes strategy making unimportant, since funds is perceived to be endless. So what I suggest to stop such travesty is to make these various departments autonomous. Meaning that a department would be given a budget still but it is up to them on how to use the budget. And as I said, what we want is to reward excellence. So if a department profits from its venture, under the new style we would award that department with more funds. And if a government loses funds then there would be no excuse for its manager, an immediate termination would be at hand.
Given that profits are assured, then how can quality be attained? Quite simple actually, due to the profits gained by a department, it would then provide better services because it has more funds in its treasury. Quality doesn’t just appear out of nowhere, in order to arrive at quality capital is needed.
Conclusion
So what do we see here? My proposal really much reflects the emerging trends of governance, mainly because it focuses on decentralization, accountability, vision, projection and quality. Under my proposal I have espoused the view that social engineering must be the first step in order to institute this new style of governance. Because like a house, even if it is reshaped and remodeled, if the people inside it are still the same then no change would really happen. What we need really is to reengineer our culture first. After that these changes might finally be applied to our country,
What I realized now is that the public administration class I was taking was the first step in making change happen. Because given the knowledge that we have, maybe someday we could finally implement these simple yet grand changes. Sowing the seeds of change on people could be really the best way to arrive at these changes. We won’t need a revolt, what we need is the knowledge on how to change a broken government.
To Make it Short and Sweet
I know you rather watch a rock than read my entry. Well of course you did. Watching rocks is fun! I get high on rock, yeah I love rock, hehhe.
So after looking at rock did you find the divine providence of Budhha? Well sure you did. Anyways to enlighten you on what I am saying, since I don't want to take your paint drying and rock watching hours away from you so I'll put it simple and short.
1. We need to decentralize power.
2. Give incentives as oposed to decentives
3. Have a core goal
4. Strategic policy making
5. Accountability
6. Customer/People satisfaction
7. Gaining from service
That's my proposal in a nutshell. Quite fast easy right? But it would never happen here... damn politicians always to stuck to think about themselves. I want to clog their noses with rugby so that we could get rid of them fast.
Nakakagutom
Nagugutom ako.... at lalo pa ako nagutom nang makita ko to.
Hindi ko mapaliwanag, parang tinatawag nila ako. Mga maliliit na mga salot sa aking mata at tiyan. Pero I can't resist... No...

Sabi nga ni Yoda
"No food leads to hunger"
"Hunger leads to stomach pain"
"Stomach pain leads to suffering"
"Suffering leads to hatred"
"Hatred leads to the dark side"
( pano naman yung, too much food leads to constipation, constipation leads to stomach pain, stomach pain leads to the toilet.. err alam niyo na)
Pag hindi ako kumain baka mapasama ako sa mga kampon ni Dark Vader. Oh my gulay ano gagawin ko... nakakagutom talaga...
Ang sarap ng mga cookies na to. Mga bituin kumikislap sa kadiliman ng kagutuman. Hindi ko maintindihan para akong naglilihi parang ang sarap sarap nilang lamutakin habang nakikinig sa mga kanta ng NSync..(teka bat Nysnc) habang umuulan at may mga anghel na kumakanta.
Kahit si Chairman Kaga ng Iron Chef siguradong magugustuhan to. O tingnan niyo, sarap na sarap siya. Hay ang galing ng mga kapatid ni
Caz, bata palang marunong na magbake samantalang ako hindi man marunong humawak ng oven. Iniisip ko palagi baka biglang sumabog ang oven.. kaya may rare disease ako na "ovenphobia" ang sakit ng mga takot sa oven. Parang boogie man na sumasalubong sa akin sa kusina.
D bale may nakita naman akong recipe para sa cookies, ngayon ako'y makakagawa na bwahahahah.

Basic Sugar Cookie Recipe courtesy Colette Peters, Colette's Christmas, Little, Brown & Co., 1993
Show: Sara's Secrets
Episode: Holiday Cookies
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 64 (2-inch cookies)
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup white corn syrup
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Royal Icing, recipe follows
Equipment:
Thin cardboard cut into tree, snowflake, star, and bird patterns
Green, yellow, red, blue, and black food coloring
Small offset spatulas
Gold and silver dragees
Edible glitter
Colored sprinkles
Small paint brush
Pastry bags with couplers
Pastry tip sizes 1, 2, 3, 101, and 46
White and yellow nonpareils
White, yellow, red, and green sanding sugar
Multicolored mini-jawbreakers (about 1/4-inch round)
Piping gel
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt and set aside.
In the bowl of a heavy duty mixer, beat the shortening at low speed until fluffy. Add the sugar and corn syrup and beat until well blended, then add the egg and the vanilla, beating continuously on low. Slowly add the flour mixture, about 2 tablespoons at a time. (If you are not using a heavy-duty mixer, the dough may become too stiff for the mixer to handle. If so, you may have to add the last of the flour by hand, kneading the dough until all of the flour is fully incorporated.)
Place the dough in a large plastic bag and refrigerate for 2 hours.
To make decorated cutout cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut out the dough using tree, snowflake, star, and bird patterns. Place the cookies on greased cookie sheets and bake until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on racks before decorating.
To decorate, tint a recipe of royal icing to your desired colors. Keep the icing covered with a damp towel while you are working to prevent it from drying out. To cover a cookie with icing, thin some of the icing with a little water and spread it on the cookie with a knife or metal spatula. Leave some of the icing thick for piping borders or other designs, using the #2 tip. Add dragees, edible glitter, colored sprinkles, or other decorations to the wet icing. To attach candies to un-iced cookies, brush a thin layer of clear piping gel on the cookie with a small paintbrush and add decorations.

A Story of a Survivor
I got this from CNN.com, just wanted to share
*******
A tsunami, when it approaches, is silent. A brown mass of water billowing towards the bedroom where I and my partner, Robert, were sitting on the bed in Khao Lak, in Phang Nga province just north of Phuket in Thailand.
We were staying in a hotel on the beach called the Seaview Resort, where Swedish, German and Austrian families raced to the deckchairs on the sand each morning to roast themselves.
It was Boxing Day. We were about to gather our things to go down to the beach.
It was just after 10.30am when Robert jumped off the bed and said quietly, "There's a tidal wave coming." I turned and saw a brown mass of water swallowing the self-contained bungalows near the sand. They dissolved like balsa wood.
I still didn't comprehend. I said "No" and then Robert repeated it. Then I asked, "Are we going to die?" as the wave hit the concrete building where we were staying on the third, and top, floor.
"I don't know," he replied and the noise began.
It sounded like an aeroplane taking off. A roaring that swelled and dipped, completely surrounding us.
The building under us began to wrench and creak. Glass was shattering, but we couldn't hear anything human. It was as if we were alone.
The water rose ankle-deep in our room and it seemed to be slowing, although the horrible thundering continued.
We ran to the door, terrified that when we opened it water would rush in. The hall was also ankle-deep in water.
When we ran up to the roof we couldn't see the ocean, but the thundering had stopped. The wave was sucking back out again.
We stood up on the roof alone, shaking, with the red corrugated iron slope of the roof shielding us from the water.
Suddenly we heard car horns, people screaming "help" in Thai, German, Swedish, banging on walls, sobbing.
Robert scrambled to the top of the roof and saw that the ocean had moved. We were in it. But the water was 10 metres higher, brown and clogged with floating timber, cars upside down, houses in pieces.
A Japanese couple arrived, terrified, on the roof, also from the third floor. Robert called to a German couple, the wife half drowned and blue-lipped, gurgling water with every breath. The six of us waited together on the roof and the German man began to pray.
We were waiting for a second wave, we could hear the thundering again. Would it be higher? Were we all about to die? We were silent, quivering and straining to hear. We stayed up on the roof like that for an hour.
The water seemed to drop at midday. So we went back to our room, grabbed our passports, small backpacks and water bottles, put on our sneakers and made the decision. We weren't waiting here for the next wave. We had to get out, and fast.
We clambered down through our destroyed building over stacks of wood, glass and doors, electric wires, bathroom fittings - it was completely silent. We climbed over bodies in sarongs, swimming costumes and thongs crushed under the rubble.
The reception area was missing so we climbed down into deep water and carefully walked the 400 metres up to the main road.
We picked our way over cars, timber, bodies and roofs through a demolished building site, past people injured and screaming, giving them extra bottles of water that we had taken from our room.
On the other side, the main road was immaculate. A stall with exotic fruit was intact but the normally bustling roadside was almost empty.
We hurried up the mountain on automatic pilot to a half-built resort where people seemed to be heading. And then the waiting, and the stories, began. Parents without children, husbands without wives, children without parents, a blond two-year-old boy wandering around without anyone.
A few hours later rumours were spreading - India was hit, Sri Lanka was hit, we heard that Phuket had been razed.
There were also rumours of another tsunami. Tourists and Thais with energy left headed up the mountain for the night.
A small group of 17 tourists and 10 Thais camped out on palm leaves at the top of the mountain as the full moon rose. People had broken arms - some of them were in pain.
We waited the night, hoping that the next night we could come down. We heard that the streets were filled with bodies.
The next morning we picked our way halfway down the mountain and waited with the Thais, who gave us rice, bananas and bread.
Suddenly, at 1pm, people seemed to start moving down. Rumour had it there were no more tsunamis and we should get out while we could before diseases like cholera set in. We left on a local truck and found our way to Phuket Airport.
Our resort had about 250 tourists staying in it and perhaps 60 Thai staff. We had watched the tourists dance and eat and drink at the Christmas Eve party on the beach.
We don't think more than 20 people, tourists or Thai, in our hotel survived and that was on a beach crammed with seaside resorts like ours.
But the thought that stayed with us most was of one nine-year-old Swedish girl we had smiled at before the tsunami struck.
She had thick glasses and long brown hair and was always reading a book, even as she walked to the beach in her red swimming costume.
Later, we found her parents halfway up the mountain. They had found one of their three children but the little girl and her six-year-old brother had vanished.
The father, a strong Swedish man, was shaking and broken. He was carrying the youngest child who was almost mute.
The mother was bandaged and weary and beyond tears. That was just one story among the thousands.
*******
On other news
It's likely that a tsunami might occur in the West Coast- not in Indonesia, nor in India, try something like America, or so I read in an article.
Experts say the West Coast is vunerable to a disastrous tsunami like incident since the Cascadian subduction zone behaves much like what has happened near Sumatra.
It is a fair warning to united states that they remain cautious since their deep and complicated tsunami warning system would still find a hard time to predict the quake and inevitable tsunami.
