Spreading far beyond... !

The apotheosis of ladder to success and great power... Now his voice will be heard often...

"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord."


"On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."

That's my favorite part of Obama's inaugural address that's full of profundity, positivity and really in depth. I and am sure every Filipino is asking in mind, as to how his new administration will affect us in the days to come.

Congrats!

...and may you humble yourself by the power vested upon your shoulder and live up to the eager expectation and hope of the people who believe in your capacity to lead a nation with all honesty, endurance to carry on, humility, faculty of good judgment and better understanding of a good governance.

Kudos!

Going straight to White House...

According to Mahatma Gandhi : You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Theme: "A New Birth of Freedom!"

Today...US is now in great celebration for the much awaited inauguration of their new president. The first black American in their history...that breaks all racial discrimination. US is one of the powerful countries around ergo, Obama will be one of the most powerful voice to be heard from now on. Just hope the new senate will be a mixture of black and white as well to denounce racism. Now it's time to see if he can live up to the hype...cause the world really need to change in a lot of aspects. I was vocally rooting for Bush then because of his bravery, but as it went along it dwindled...came the 911 suicide bombings. Situation worsened...and dramatically aggravated the future social alliance between countries to forge harmonious unity among nations of the world. Let's find out how Obama will handle things right after the transition. May his future decision and discernment be more of advantage to create world peace and help whet (Abe Lincoln went like,"If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six sharpening my axe") economy not only within US but also to their neighboring countries as well...and not to ruin lives just what is now happening to GAZA. The world is so big to spread love and compassion but so small to create chaos and monger war within.

Let there be peace!

Getting on...!

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

There's still a couple of days to go before the awaited day wherein he'll be inducted into office with formal ceremonies.I am not one of them but in spirit I too await that special day to officiate the term of office of the next duly-elected president of the United States. When I've learn about those young people who were invited to grace the inauguration...I couldn't help but wish that I have had also been given that rare chance in a lifetime. Lucky are those who were given that special invitations. I heard Charice Pempengco will be one of his guest to sing maybe...not that sure though...but whatever is is, this young lady is also creating such big name in her singing career. Going back, I wish Obama has all the guts and discernment needed to improve economic struggle that every nation is dealing to right now, (since I too was rooting for him in that memorable election of a great change). And to keep peace around the world and set it going, not only in his own crib but to the whole world itself. Being one of the world's most powerful voice, yours will be heard and we'll keep our fingers crossed that you will be an advocate of peace not a war-monger and progress all through out.

I hope not to mention names but there are officials who make so many empty promises, but end up making bricks without straw.

On world peace...


To be a president specially of a big and one of the most powerful country is not an easy tasks. I believe each one to sit power has their own new ideas, beliefs, and if you are vested with such heavy and serious tasks that will put not one , not two, but the whole of his constituent and other neighboring countries as well in great jeopardy in just one single wrong decision, I think it's just too easy to find fault, although we too are strong voices that should be heard. I admired the guts of Bush when he threw war to depend their country same as with their ideologies. But some of course nixed that decision especially if you are a strong advocate of peace. But I think that's also different from being passive. What happened to those innocent lives who perished in the tragic World Trade Tower(s)? Some groups need an iron-fist technique (sometime) also in order to attain peace. Terrorists needs to be terrorized...oh well my bad. I don't like to use the word but let me say my apology. My point is let us welcome the new change, Barack is offering. For all we know he has all those positive plans to share. Each one of them has new ideas and let's just keep on hoping that peace will always be here on earth. I like Bush because of his braveness to depend their country from all devilish war-like attempts. And I like Obama for his wit and diplomacy, and I do believe that he has all what it takes to be a good president. Iraq for the first time has already sent words to congratulate Obama's victory, and it's a good starter. At least now they are reaching out. Peace is not too far from possibility if every nation will sit together regardless of their beliefs, to rehash issues and bring forth peace free from any significant alterations, and be able to come up with good and peaceful results. Let's wait and find out...
Let us all be positive for that great change and not to fear the worst.

The period of change...


The coming transition is really the event to watch all over the world. And one of the world's most important and powerful person to be in the history of America will now soon emerged as the new triumphant leader to watch. Bush just expressed his hope that the enemy won't use the near transition of power to exploit and hurt American people. Of course we all know that in his term he showed guts and strong determination to destroy people by all means who have had in any manner tried to ruin the state. Who would ever forget the September 11 tragedy? I myself had been so crashed upon seeing the two towers all aflame when the plane not one but two hit it on target by those suicidal terrorists. The act was so brutal and unimaginable that almost annihilated the whole city into loud mournings for the sudden and unexpected loss of loved ones. It was one of the most horrible things done ever that killed thousands of innocent people. But those are only sad memories now of the past cruelty...and now with Obama leading the whole of America, we are looking forward to how he could make it more better without putting the democratic rights and values in jeopardize against the possible sprouting of the new terroristic group in the offing. But let us now stop praying that in time they'd come to realize that evilish act doesn't make them the strongest and the most powerful people but only will put them into greater condemnation in heaven and here on earth too.

Let's all wait and see how is it with Obama at the helm.
Peace on earth and to everyone regardless of what beliefs we do have and embrace...

A new fashion icon to watch...


Yup ...America's new black First Lady is really glowingly stunning in her black and burning red accented evening dress. Mrs. O really has caught everyone's glare and has been under all eyes after the victory of her husband. She has so much so had been reluctant to something new to her including those hectic campaigns for Obama that she didn't relish before. Had been misconstrued and created some criticisms when she said in her campaign speech that..."I'm really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change..."

Black in White...breaking racial discrimination at last!


Everyone is ecstatic and beaming with joy now. Imagine, breaking the racial discrimination to put at last one black American to sit in office at the proverbial seat of power, the White House. Kenyan is beaming with great pride and dancing with joy to express the happiness they felt when Obama swept the recent presidential election by a landslide. It seems that everyone is looking forward to see how Obama will take charge of everything when he starts his office in the coming months. Let's just hope that this will all be for the betterment of every nation.

Changing the world


America has the newly elected president in the person of Barack Obama, that makes him the 44th duly elected president of the United States. Was really rooting for him, first gusto ko yung serious & stern-face looking niya. But now it's different, 'coz he's wearing the sweetest and victorious smile of a truimphant winner. He's right, the change has come, that also makes him the first black American to win the highest post. I love it when he once said "it's not too late to stop the war", I think it was on the earlier part of 2003 when President Bush issued his 48-hour ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq before the U.S. invasion where at the same time Obama addressed the largest Chicago anti-Iraq war rally to date in Daley Plaza and that only meant that he wasn't a war-monger. What the world needs today is someone who actively advocates peace and not one to precipitate war among nations. Also one who's willing to solve international crisis with a strong and solid form of solution in hand, and ready to implement laws above anything else without putting his compassion in jeopardize.

Hurrah for Obama!
