Numb

I'm still numb from monitoring the Joint Congress hearing on the wiretapped tapes. I felt so relieved but drained when Cong. Remulla declared the hearing adjourned minutes past 12 midnight - an 11-hour marathon.

At least after 9 days since the hearing started, the tapes were finally played and heard by Congress and the public, despite may attempts to stall its playback by mostly pro-PGMA solons.

But as everybody saw on national tv Thursday night, instead of listening intently on the audio of the cd being played, some congressmen were chatting idly with neighbors, others were texting away, and a few where loitering around while only a handfull seemed to actually bother listening to the recordings.

Earlier, FG scooted out for Hongkong for his self -exile (I suspect he'll go on to the US). As I'm encoding this, the EVAT has taken effect and higher prices of gasoline and other commodities are now being adjusted.

Now I wonder how all these will turn out. How will this story end... Will we just forget all these ever happened? And then do we get ready again to face the next crisis and scandal? And so on and so forth until we are numb beyond hope...
