“The President, who was escorted by First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo as she entered the hall where the gathering was held late Thursday to mark the country’s110th Independence, wore a cream terno.

US Ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenney looked glittering in her blue gown, while actress Dawn Zulueta was stunning in a black evening dress. Senator Vicente Sotto wore a piña barong tagalog. Presidential Management Staff chief Cerge Remonde’s barong was green and red.

In her message, President Arroyo said the skyrocketing price of oil and food is a global problem but can be hurdled if Filipinos unite. She also called on members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to work together towards becoming a unified economy.

ang ganda ng walang koneksyon between the oil and food crises and the 20 pairs of rigodon dancers. :) and of course let us bar the media from the dance itself, kase nag-change outfit pa most of the participants for it, and i’m sure pati alahas pinalitan ng mga mas bonggang katas ng kani-kaniyang hacienda.

I was caught off guard by how you ended it instead. You really meant to wrap it up sounding like you're sorry you (and the media) were so "out" of this particular happening, wishing you'd caught at least a glimpse? Of course, your sarcasm may just have been below my unreliable tongue-in-cheek radar. In which case, don't mind me and let me leave you alone to go off and wallow in my own inadequacy.

In its modern usage, hubris denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of knowledge combined with a lack of humility. An accusation of hubris often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of hubris and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of hubris. GLORIA’S HUBRIS!
