I've resigned! Yes, resigned myself to the fact that Filipinos will always be bickering about something and that every Filipino wants to be president at the same time.

If not for the decision, I would have never known that COMELEC had been using Beta Software to demonstrate the functionality of the counting machines.

So long 2003, and welcome 2004! It's another year to look forward to. It seems that time really flies. January 1, 2003 seems just like yesterday to me.
