A Call For Some Little Consideración

i have so many friends in facebook asking where PNOY is. i was left wondering too but not about the whereabouts off the president of pilipinas but as to what they were imagining that he is doing. "Are they thinking that the president is at malacanang, donning his pjs and sipping a hot chocolate tablea?" damn thats messed up. as if they were doing something productive not just facing the laptop, feeling its warmth and complain on facebook.

isnt it a basic rule that at war or even at normal times, you dont expose the general? when youre playing chess you dont expose the king and make him annihilate the opponents pieces(as if).

i know they were just wondering and i dont want to bash them. but then again these are the same people who complains when some official is doing a public service and they post a picture of it. ah yeah. EPAL is what we call them.

Below are some definitions of EPAL courtesy of the urban dictionary.

1. EPAL

(Adjective)A person who goes into a situation wherein his presence is not needed or in a place he does not belong. This person may be annoying or not in that instance. (Tagalog) Boy 1:"Anong ginagawa niyang gagong yan diyan?" Boy 2:"Wala. Epal na naman." (English) Boy 1:"What's the hell is that fool doin' there?" Boy 2:"Nothing. Epal again." 2. EPAL -One who likes to butt in on others -an "extra," like in a film but this word isn't necessarily used for that situation -derived from the Filipino term "papel" or "pumapel" which means one who likes to always be in the scene or be given attention in things that don't concern them. Bakit ka ba umeepal sa barkada namin?! Ang epal mo talaga! (Why are you going with our gang?! You don't even belong here! You're such an epal!) Ang epal talaga ni Christina, wala naman siyang kinalaman dun sa show eh. (Christina is such an epal, she doesn't have anything to do with the show).

Dont worry, i have the same sentiments too. i am also wondering what he might be doing. but im not asking as if im assuming that he is doing nothing at the moment. i have considered that this person, noynoy banoy, is the type of person that doesnt want his deeds to go public (yet).

But please, we all know that those who are online (like me) at the moment the disaster is lingering at our country, are doing nothing but sit in front of the computer. just plain observing through the pictures published at the social networking sites. please stop complaining and consider that not everything posted captures the whole picture and not everything in the picture is legit.

Just like Nong Poy's google images.
