Disenchantment

"Enchanted" the movie was truly a delightful watch. Amid popcorn and oversize drinks, the movie house was packed with people young and old oblivious of the fact that just the day before, our country was shaken a bit by some agitators, ineffectively brandishing their usual drama and that one personality claiming to be "standing for the rights of the oppressed" is so dreadfully +)*^%$# he ought be banished to his own utopia where all his so called ideals come true. Forgive my melodramatic indifference, but my point is echoed when one of the city's business leaders remarked that whoever has grievances against the government need not go to a five-star hotel, bang it's doors and shout. If one is against the government, he should not resort to means that destroy the credibility (or what's left of it) of the entire nation. I do not know what "he who shall not be named" was thinking; was he perhaps hallucinating that he could stage another people power? I wonder where his delusions of grandeur will bring him.

Enough said. Like the millions of working citizens in this country, I spend my days toiling to earn a living, once in a while sitting back to enjoy enchanting movies in this place where there is no happily-ever-after.
