Here today, gone tomorrow

Natuwa raw si Gloria nung nalaman niya na she made the Forbes list of Most Powerful Women for 2005.

I say, let her celebrate. Kasi para na ring "last meal" yan ng isang death-row inmate bago siya masi-silya elektrika eh.

From the same Forbes Magazine:

The 100 Most Powerful Women

The up-and-comers, the ones to watch, the returnees. Here are the women who make things happen.

Our second ranking of the world's most powerful women illustrates how fleeting power is. Megawati Sukarnoputri, the former president of Indonesia who lost her reelection bid, dropped off the rankings. Gone, too, is Carleton (Carly) Fiorina, booted from Hewlett-Packard. The scandal-plagued president of the Philippines, Gloria Arroyo (#4), could soon be off as well. Among the newcomers: Yulia Tymoshenko (#3), prime minister of Ukraine.

Heh.

Here's Forbes' first Most Powerful Women list in 2004.
