Why I admire Sen. Lito Lapid

Some facts of life from Bobit Avila: “Life can be so funny. Cooking a meal takes 1 hour but eating it takes only 10 minutes.”

 “Contstructing a building,” says Bobit, “takes 6 months but blowing it up takes only 30 seconds ... Earning P20,000 takes only 30 days but paying your bill takes a mere 2 seconds.”

However, life can be a blessing too,” says Bobit. “It’s amazing that a 1-second kiss on the check can make your day ... A 5-second glimpse of your love can make your week. And a 10-second hug can take away 1 year of pain.”

Thursday night I could not sleep. I tried to by listening to a late night radio program, which I found fun and educational. An eye expert said that if your eyes are tired, don’t rub them. Just look at a beautiful someone to give the eyes some rest. If you look at an ugly someone, the tiredness will worsen.

One of the senators I admire honestly is Sen. Lito Lapid. He’s truthful and humble. In a recent radio interview I heard him admit he’s only a high school graduate and he’s not at home being a senator-judge in the CJ Corona impeachment trial.

He does have some legal experts tutoring him on legal matters. Still, he says, he doesn’t dare speak his mind during the impeachment trial. Which shows lack of faith and confidence in his tutors? (Hehe.)

“Baka magkamali tayo,” he says, “tatawanan lang tayo ng mga tao.” He says he’s fully aware that he’s being watched by millions of televiewers during the impeachment proceedings.

Speaking of the impeachment trial, many critics (those who think they know better) say it’s going the way of the impeachment trial against Erap. If it goes that way, Senator-judge Lito Lapid can only share collateral damage.

A Korean TV personality, Grace Lee, has been reported to have admitted dating President PNoy. I was asked to comment on this latest presidential romance. I said: “If this Grace Lee is a girl, OK lang. What’s un-OK is if Grace is a boy.”

The news story I read says Lee is a showbiz anchor, 28 years old, and speaks Tagalog and Cebuano fluently. I wonder what Kris A. has to say on Grace Lee? She’s not her find.
