RIP Corazon Aquino

You will be missed. You became a symbol of hope and a galvanizing force after two decades of darkness.

May eternal light shine upon you, Tita Cory, and may you rest in peace.

Ninoy Aquino once said, "The Filipino is worth dying for." Cory Aquino took it to heart as well, leading us, despite all the odds, out of the tyranny we had suffered for decades.

What's so remarkable about her is that despite being born to a very wealthy family, despite having been a President of this country, she remained humble and unassuming to the end.

Because of her, Filipinos have lost all tolerance for anyone who would try to hang on to power longer than is Constitutionally mandated. There are now grumblings of another People Power type get together should the present President, Macapagal-Arroyo, try to extend her term by amending the Constitution.

That happens, I'm gonna be taking to the streets. Cory Aquino wouldn't want it any other way.

It is strange to see what power can do to people. It makes some rise above all and become a lightning example to everyone and others just role in it. And Ana if you have to go on the street, you won´t be alone as won´t the millions of others, Cory will be in each and evryone of you.

Her biggest monument is in the hearts of the millions she inspired.

The wags around Manila were all commenting about the fact that Imelda outlived most of the main participants in the EDSA Revolution. Her husband's gone, Cory's gone, Ver's (Marcos' right hand man) is gone. She's still here, delusional.

I'm a thinking of dragging all of us up Mt. Fuji, actually. I'm seriously beginning to question the wisdom of this plan--imagine this, an 8 year old who's never seen snow, who's now bundled to the gills in winter wear suddenly yells "I HAVE TO GO!!!" and we're fumbling with ALL the layers I've piled on him while he's doing the peepee dance, while he can't quite zip himself down because he has gloves on, which he isn't used to wearing and putting on and off (or doesn't want to pull off because of the cold).
