maybe many would disagree with me when i say that constitutional monarchy is better over a republic... i dont know, maybe growing up in a torn republic made me sick and tired of the system... though i still have faith that my country would get back on its feet and slap me back and tell me you're fckin effin wrong *slap!!!!
Princess Diana
yes, no system is perfect... both system, monarchy or republic, have its pro's and con's... both maybe bad or good... both have its success stories and inevitable ending as our history would show us how many nation flip-flop between the two systems... but this blog would not argue which is the better between the two... i am writing this becuase i just want to share one of my dreams.. my love for monarchy....
Queen Elizabeth I
since childhood, i love reading history books.... i read a lot about different stories of royal families, their success and their failures and how they create and destroy their kingdom... and thru this, i grew up daydreaming about what it likes to be in their shoes... i am like this probably because i grew up in a neighborhood where poverty is an everyday eyesore... i so envy their lifestyle... and i told myself like in every child's dream, "soon i will be one of them"....
King Rama IX
impossible, but it did not stop me living that dream... as i grow up, sort of somehow i brought my dream to life... in every role play games i play with my friends... i would always be the King, or the Prince, and if sometimes the Emperor... funny because until now 20 years later, i still play that royalty role... in my online games, i am Duke Elmer, or Prince Adriagn, or Emperor Cutingcao, or Tsar Vlaughdiemyr.... and my personal favorite title was the Duke....
i was like saying that if i will live a royal life, i want to be a Duke.... why? i dont know the exact answer... i dont even know any Duke who is famous... maybe its just the royal title that strikes me... since i dont want the mostly used King or Prince... or the boring Lord or Baron... likewise, i remember that before i chose Duke, the other title that was running for selection were Count and Earl... and in the end, i settled for Duke...
Emperor Akihito
now, my dreams continue... though i know that never in my entire life will i be one of them... so i will just settle admiring them.... i so look forward in my country the time when there will be like Prince William of Wales who were adored by everyone, or King Rama who is the pillar of morality of Thailand, or maybe Emperor Akihito who will uplift our spirits in time of stress.... hmmmm, maybe Pinoys would have the Raja titles if we adopt this kind of system.... :-)
dang! enough of my dream now... i decided to write this blog because i am too stressed with my studies.... and while browsing the net, i remember that Prince William just visited Australia... so my royal love kicks in that made me write this dream of mine... sadly, Sydney was not a stop for his trip because if it was, well i'll be for sure part of the screaming crowd who would welcome him here... so with this note, i just want to end this by sharing one of my favorite speech of him...
