Atlas Shrugged




Damn, I have not read Atlas Shrugged for quite sometime.


The first time I did, It was in my high school years. Shopped a book out of Booksale along with that Shakespeare Collection all in one book I have always been raving about to my friends of getting. Back in Highschool I didn't go much because I was busy finding my niche out of the boring, but that is a story to tell later on.

But Atlas Shrugged changed me, all of a sudden back in high school I have always wished I can be Dagny Taggart, run an empire or at least be a part of it the daring and the bold, no man fazes you , but you bend over to the right ones, the smart watchful same like mind you can "mind fuck" with. (So far, I found one, but John Galt got him.)



You just do the deed and walk by it to greatness and death.

The right kind of ego. I even wrote one time. I will be Dagny Taggart. read the book 5 times since.

Until this year they made a movie, failures gone by, stagnation and all I went through a different path from what i once wrote.

Dagny Taggart shocked me. I all of a sudden realized, what was making me feel better was because I was going the way I oct wrote, I was living the dream that sparked my interest all along. I intend to stay the route for as long as I can knowing, not everything is right.

Wow.

I SHALL NOT EAT INSIDE MCDONALDS SUCAT PARANAQUE

Image
Dear Mr. CEO of Mcdonalds (SYMBOL: MCD) Aside from the shrinking serving and very poor service that most of your franchises here have. I have to tell you that Your Sucat, Paranaque Branch suck. Below is the picture of a mosquito infested, poorly interior decorated and oh so messy stinky and very old bathroom, plus the unwashed curtain from pre school days makes this branch of Mcdonalds a sequel of the Twighlight zone. The part that bugged me so much is the Lola Decorations of THAT PLATE in THE WALL. It is old and dead, with over cooked spaghetti even. I just want to put this in your attention as I believe that one experience can kill everybody's Mcdonalds experience.

The trek back to THE VARSITARIAN and some snippets of the filipino culture

Any thomasian know The Varsitarian, I think it's the oldest org paper in the Philippines. What struck me in the front pages though is VATICAN CONFIRMS DELA ROSA UST’s 95th rector to be installed June 10 Funny because I didn't know that aside from The Pope, The Saints and all, The Vatican has a say to U.S.T`s rector. I miss Santo Tomas, the smell of grass in the morning field, the adrenaline in the gym, The Ala Starbucks in P noval and that string of joints in the parameters of that heart of espana. Almers, Cocoys, Ryan J gym, Goldilocks, Pizzahut, Lopez, and that fried chicken place which I forgot. I left Santo Tomas NOT in a heart beat. I had to go through widthrawals because I had an addiction to football at that time. I smell the grass, I drop my bags and drop my course and play. We always had a saying, "Sagabal ang Pag aaral sa Football". How I regret it now. I didnt know anything then so.. The Varsitarian was the first paper I have ever seen my name on. Hahahaha...
