on my interest for currents events...

im not sure how long this entry would be. ive been delaying my writing since the last time i posted. maybe it was due to the fact that theres so much i wanna write about that i felt like i didnt have enough time during those times that i intended to write to talk about the different issues that have been lingering in my mind for some time already. no these issues aren't the ones that bugged me months ago. rather, these are the more current ones ive found in the paper and have seen in the news. the one that has my attention the most for the moment is the UK election. this may sound dumb but i still don't know the exact process of how a prime minister is elected. in a while i shall find out and maybe post here.

for some strange reason, i have so much interest in what's happening to the states and uk, or more like the bush/blair buzz. just look how glued i was on cnn when the Us elections was being held; though not so much now on the recently concluded uk elections (where blair has gotten the majority, that is 354 seats, thus having him re-elected as the british prime minister. and that is despite conservatives' michael howards propaganda against him since he hates him personally, as well as the disclosure made by the attorney-general, telling the public of the lying made by blair.)

caring so much on what is happening to both nations, of which im not a part, grew into me maybe last year. for the simple reason that being aware of what was happening in the world seemed smart for me. (additional thought: or maybe and most likely, it was because being in a country where there was no other tv station that i understood due to language barrier left me with no other option but to just watch cnn and care about mother earth. yes, im referring to my trip to china last summer.) now i can't say that the reason why im still following what's happening to the world is still the same reason i became 'interested' in such matters. maybe after some time of watching, i already became REALLY enthused about 'em.

following that, on the other hand, are the local issues that puts the country on a higher level of political instability.

ill continue next time. im still reading on how a PM is elected.
