It's rainy today. Cloudy, dark, cold and gloomy too. It's the kind of weather that you wish you had a cigarette with one hand and a bottle of strong alcohol in the other, then again, I don't smoke and I can't drink so I'll settle for a jacket. And smoking is bad bad bad for your health(and mine).

Any way, since we're mentioning smoking. At the jeepney stop and loading area, an old lady almost rode our jeepney. The problem is she just lit her cigarette. How stupid can you be? Lighting a cigarette then riding a jeepney. Granted many do it and they probably do not know it is illegal and downright annoying to the other passengers. They probably never heard of the saying, "One's freedom ends where the freedom of another begins." At that time, I was seriously contemplating whacking her with my umbrella if she even lands one foot inside the vehicle.

I've been thinking how crappy sex education in the Philippines is. No wait, it's non-existent. I blame the Catholic Church. I guess it's the time for non-government groups to start acting(UP hello!!!!) on the problem. Even if its effect on population growth is negligible, its effect on the number of unwanted pregnancies(and abortion) and sexually-transmitted diseases would be more than enough reason to push it through. Still, the Church doesn't want it and believe that the modules tend to be pornographic and immoral. Yes and their anuses are sewn shut.

Maybe I should be more active in HySoc and try to make it as one of the organization's programs.

(edited, damn! I made some very stupid grammatical errors.)
