Three months without watching anything from cable T.V. might have put anyone off or feel oblivious. Who wouldn't? Where else (aside from frequent surfing on the net) can anybody get instant and live feed news other than T.V. (although some would most likely say they listen over the radio).
It was my routine every morning to watch news from channel 7. Although letting the T.V. set turned on for almost an hour, right from the time I got up from bed, I mostly missed some of the news reports. Or if not, I paid less attention because of 'useless' tidbits (chicka minutes included) aired over the waves.
From the time my husband and I moved in the new place, we sort of decided not to avail any services from T.V. cable. I was restless. I wanted what was going on. I could access news from my phone but have to pay at a certain price. Two weeks passed by, I was calm. The reason perhaps was that I became less involved with the national political issues or dramas by bruhahas among others.
This year the country is 'bedazzled' by Corona's impeachment. I can only thank my husband that we decided to live without T.V. No extra bills to pay, no failed cable connections. No more of foreign shows that hog the cable. Adieu

Out of curiosity of Corona's trial, I checked out inquirer page. On the left side of the news page was series of pictures with candid description. One in particular caught my attention. Tupas.
On the same page where the photo was, I scrolled past the two main paragraphs and chuckled a laugh at Tupas' opening statement. I thought it was funny and very hollow to say the least.
If I was one of those few good men to judge their souls, I would have probably said, "Anyone who is free of guilt or sin, cast thy stone to the accused individual." I am very sure (and my 'shupatembangs' at school) would nod their heads in agreement--- that almost all individuals tapped to play the roles of judges are needless to say, Janus faced. Batu bato sa langit, ang tamaan fangit.
