OVER A BOWL OF CEREALS ON A SATURDAY MORNING


HIM: Bloomfield, great guy.

HER: Who's he?

HIM: Mayor of New York.

HER: I thought it was Guiliani.

HIM: Before. Now it's Bloomfield.

HER: I thought Guiliani was a great mayor too.

HIM: He was but he was not loved by the people. Like Lee Kwan Yew. He did great things for Singapore but the people did not love him.

HER: So what's so great about Bloomfield?

HIM: He made New York better.

HER: I thought Guiliani did that already.

HIM: Much better. And the people like him. You know, his office is just a cubicle, like everyone else. Just the way his office is where he holds business.

HER: Why?

HIM: That's the kind of guy he is.

HER: And that's why he is mayor of New York and Donald Trump is a reality show host?

HIM: Eat your cereals.

ERRATUM:

And as my good friend cbs pointed out, Bloomfield is Bloomberg, after all. Thanks bud. :)

parang Giuliani = Lee Kwan Yew, Bloomberg = Goh Chong Tok.

lee was abrasive but effective like guliani. goh was cool and still effective like bloomberg.

Hi Jet. I like this. I can actually imagine you and the husband having this conversation on an easy Saturday morning.

G, not only over breakfast. Just this morning, in the car...

HER: we still have beans in the ref
HIM: the end doesn't justify the means
HER: beans!
HIM: the pork doesn't justify the beans!

Hi Maribel! I love those kind of Saturdays, if only because I don't have them on a regular basis. Thanks for dropping by. :)

pero true ha, bumango lang ang pangalan ni guiliani nung 911 attack. that was the saving grace of his tenure.

pero no matter who the mayor would be, I heart NY forever!

I didn't have to reach far and dream big. One can only be as big as one sees oneself. The world will always be bigger still... and God, even more."
