I think I might have overreacted when sir Dennis commented, "At long last, your true genius comes out," on my story outline. I misconstrued the meaning of what he said, which I thought was pure sarcasm and filth. I apologize for being myopic at that time.

Sandy's entry: The Humanity
May 13, 2006
Fragment 1#: Upon entering the POEA building, the smell of bureaucracy stank bitingly like tea-colored piss left in an MMDA urinal. When I was researching inside the library with Kristy, I could hear the employers talking about "who was with who," "the new handbag from Quiapo," and well, "someone's new hairdo." Moreover, when I had returned for an attempt to interview an administrator, the secretary gingerly asked me "what the interview was about," and told me to "write a letter of permission for an interview;" because the administrator's schedule was loaded for this week and next week, that she wasn't sure if administrator Dimzon could manage to talk to me, and yadee-yadee-yada. I was really cynical about government offices, and now I was convinced: no wonder the line inside was too long… There were just too many processes to go through. Our government worked things out too slowly like a water buffalo.
Fortunately, I got the statistics, memorandums and report that I surmised would be helpful to my article. I even got to interview another administrator yesterday at the ASEM forum. All I need now was two or three more interviews from my people trail.
