I like your will & spirit...you remind me of myself when I was a budding college student...full of idealism... wanting to change the world or at least make a difference. But my idealism were later replaced with realism. That the world & its inhabitants for all intents & purposes, has defects cultural or otherwise... Look at it, how easy it is to change or influence one's habits much more, the whole culture?

Although I don't see anything wrong with trying to change the world, but we have individual priorities in life. I have my own issues to deal with ie. education, work, family, etc etc. that has more worth to me than "ningas cogon", "Filipino time" or the Philippine Embassy.

You see, if you live everyday of your life worrying about what's wrong with the world, you will die miserably becuase you will achieve nothing. Why not start worrying about problems that you have more direct control of, like your own life??? I'm sure you do have problems huh?

But how about if we discuss these over a quiet lunch, I mean today? Care to join anyone?
