It’s funny really. Last July 21, 2007, I wrote this blog *click here* (better do it later since it’s a long one) recognizing Person One’s vision of one day reaching the pinnacle of his career. In it, I fantasized about the possibility of his reaching this powerful position, without really expecting this daydream to come into fruition. I really didn’t; though I’ve always prayed for it to happen. Not for the popularity. Rather, for the country.

ABC’s (or XYZ to those close to her) “minor” successes, on the other hand, has admittedly caught me completely by surprise. Let me be clear that this is not a knock on her extraordinary potential. Actually, my reaction more accurately reflects on the astonishing commendations, praises and acclaims that ABC has garnered from various highly-connected and well-established men and women in our society (at least 6 different people). All this she has received unconditionally, without her seeking an audience with any of them. As to how all this happened. I really don’t know. For the faithfully religious (and she REALLY is one), I suppose they attribute it directly to you-know-Who (NOT Voldemort, silly).

Sadly the achievements of both these people didn’t come without a catch. Person One’s political “opponent(s)” who have been aspiring for his position, have already started the smear campaign. It is a testament to Person One’s character that he did two courageous things. One, he didn’t retaliate. And two, I am proud of the fact that he did not actively seek to be placed in this position. For those skeptical (or jaded, perhaps?) of this, I cannot and will not blame you. But always remember that there will be times when OTHER people will go to certain lengths to ensure that the proper leaders are put in the rightful position to lead. And to my readers who may be quick to sow distrust or presume negative assumptions, I caution you to remember that ‘he who services the people, has them as his ultimate bosses’.

At any rate, negative perception is already part of Person One’s job description. I know it. You know it. So I really can’t stress myself over it. I just hope my sister is strong enough emotionally to handle the stress and criticisms that’ll crop up sooner rather than later.

As for person two, (or ABC/XYZ depending on whose blog you are reading), she does not deserve the vicious rumors circulating about her. I’ve definitely had more than my share (ha ha), but one of hers involve being an illegitimate daughter of a powerful politician. Yun ang  HA-HA. I wish I could have had as creative a gossip such as that… a creative humor pala. Hehe The other stupid scandals are rooted in professional jealousy. As if it isn’t obvious where some of them come from.

Okay. I give up. Enough with English. Nose-bleed, nose-bleed! Oooooooohhhhhhhhh….. Ika nga ni Parrot “Be Anes lang talaga, koya jolz!”.

Be honest in what, you ask?

Well A-nes-ly, I’m very proud of these two people.
