GoodMorning POOP

Paige does not sleep through the night...Well, that is fine as I have resigned myself to this for the last seven months. Still, I hate it everytime she wakes up at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m. because she pooped!Like this morning, I woke up with her standing beside the bed, smiling, with poop in her diapers. That is not why I hate that though.. it's not the waking up.or the cleaningor the smell of the poop, because by God! It smells...What I hate is that she...

Like Papa

Erbe: See, she looks like me when I was a baby!This is the picture which Erbe insists Paige looks like him.Do you see the similarity?Does she really? IT is so vague that you could not really see once and for all, but of course, there is the similarity!He is the freaking fath...

Quirks of Marriage

Do you remember the poem that goes something like:"Jack Sprout could eat no fatHis wife could eat no leanSo between them both,you see, they lick the platter clean."Well, sometimes marriage is like that.Erbe does not like to cover the bed whileI like to have very soft and thick beddings.He removes half of the beddings from his side so I wake up with the covers all bunched up on my side, which irritates the hell out of me.To resolve the problem as...

Usapang Artista - pinatulan ko na!

I can't wait for the new movie installment of Harry Potter as I was able to read the book. I can't wait to see Grawp, Hagrid's Giant Brother. Yes, there are Giants in this installment. Voldemort will take form here, and Harry will finally understand his connection with Voldemort.I was also able to find the zip file for the online book of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. There are about 800 plus pages and I was able to finish 300 pages since...

The Truth about My Husband

Erbe when he was about 8 years old.He was not always the serious guy everyone thinks he is. I'll let you in a secret... He is much more than the person in the box that people have put him in. What makes my husband unique is that he is part of those rare species: He is NOT gay. I know. Trust me, I know. (Let's not go into the explicit details)Nor is he a priest. Yet, he does not strut his stuff like the typical pompous male specie does. He does not...

Getting Down and Dirty

Name three of your greatest regrets in life?1. Ex-boyfriends. Mr. Halitosis and Mr. No IQ.2. Love letters I wrote. I can't say how much I regret writing those love letters, except of course those I wrote to my hubby. It's not that I write lousy letters. I write damn good letters, just ask Mr. the-one-who-got-away who said he'd send my letter to the Young Blood column of the Philippine Inquirer. Note to MYSELF: Chalk this up as one of the wise things...

The Pregnant Bachelorette

What the f---?!?

I have two words for you:1. Cesar 2. Senate?!?!?!?!?!Seriously!Seriously!Insult to Filipino people. WITH BRAINS.Insult to politicians who had run for office from barangay kagawad up and built their political career for years!What?! He thinks just because he won some actors award that qualifies him for Senate?!?Senate people!He could have run for City Kagawad or Mayor, I would just shrug that off with a snort, but to run for the senate! PUHLEEZE!!!The...

Downfall vs Downful

Setting: Breakfast.Cast: Mama, my sister and I. All married.Topic of Conversation: Husbands and their egos.Kris told us that 70% of a child's intelligence is inherited from the mother. So, as we are both relatively intelligent, we were telling Mama that she shouldn't be claiming that ours came from Daddy. Mama in her aged wisdom deemed it her duty to tell us about the role of the wife ensuring that she will never let her husband feel that she is...

ASSESSOR 101 Raising Your Ire

idido...WRI is putting up an TESDA-accredited assessor center and Erbe and I have taken up assessors training accordingly.We had quite a good laugh about the fact that we'd be the first MT assessors here in Naga City. Apparently, to get a certification from the TESDA and go abroad, you have to pass an assessment and get a competency certificate. It is also going to be a requirement of companies from now on.Nope, Erbe and I are not the greatest MTs...

armpits and truths

Seriously!It took me quite some time to really digest this but I realized that if Tinay probably thought the same way than people probably think it is so...Generally, I do not think people gives a shit about my life and I do not give a freaking care about other people's lives. but if my mother would come to me pretty upset and I mean upset accusing me of running after my husband way before we became a couple and scheming just so I'd interest him...now,...

Bald Britney

She went bald. You'd really wonder how she is doing...mentally and emotionally. Having everyone having something to say about you --- that sucks! Having people dissing you and calling you all kinds of names in their blog -- that sucks! Although you can't really blame people if you're walking around exposing your bald clam to everyone.or you walk around in the sleaziest outfits possible,or hanging out with Paris Hilton. Inadvertently, you're asking...

I am screwed up.

I was set on going to UP for the bar review. I have even informed everyone and had made plans accordingly.Then yesterday I saw Atty San Luis, who I didn't recognize because of the fact that she had lost half her weight and looked, well...pretty and young! She was with her husband who happens to be a foreigner! Well, I digress... She told me, after she learned that I was going to UP, to consider checking out my options here first in Bicol. She told...

V-day sentiments

:)I'm not just into the ruckus that goes with the Valentine's day propaganda.Hallmark's prints are all over it, I tell you. Like Hallmark is all over every fucking season.Sales!But I am into remembering the person you love on that special day.Just hate the propaganda.It's past approaching though and I think the thought is torturing or positively irritating a lot of people.Let me think some who probably hates it more.Hmm...Ah yeah...1. Tinay2. Tinay3....

LINEUP

Earlier, my husband and I were watching the news and agreeing on the people we are going to vote for, talking about the sheer audacity of some who even considered running let alone actually filing for candidacy, and considering the likelihood of some winning and some losing...Here is a summary of what we talked about:Arroyo. Yes, he is with the Administrative party, but we are still going to vote for him. He has never failed to show that he is a...

Facts and exaggerated truths

I am the mother. Yes, you might think that I have probably exhausted every topic there is on my daughter.But I will bet my ass you're dead wrong.As I was saying I am the mother.But nobody beats a lola.Why?let me tell u why...Fact. I am worried sick because my daughter has had a fever for the last three days. But my mother has been bawling (exaggeration but true) because her apo is sick.Fact. While I am willing to spend a sleepness night taking care...

Eternal Embrace

Who did it? 'Fess up! Damn it!This is the picture of the new archelogical discovery in Italy.Apparently, these two have been in eternal embrace for almost 6,000 years.Too bad they had no breath fresheners then.No, they are not Romeo and Juliet.They were shot with an arrow. The girl has an arrow on her side, the guy on his back.Who did it?Leaves a lot to the imagination huh?My guess.It's the president.These days she is always the culprit and her fat...

Mind Games

She's damn good at it.My daughter.Mind Games.I cannot stare her down. She just looks at me like I am a weird bug or so and then turn back to whatever catches her fancy -- these days...the remote control.These days our battle is getting her to sleep through the night. Honestly! World peace, genocide, and that dwarf in malacanang and her dirty deeds has all taken a backseat (crampy!) with my need to get her to sleep through the night. All the friggin...

Noah was asked and I answered

I came across this questions in noah's journal and thought the questions were pretty interesting and decided to have a shot at them.Is there any issue which you are strongly opposed to, and if so, how far would you personally go to support your views?Pause. pause. umm...pause. let's see... think. think something amazing. What issue? Geeze. Pathetic. I can't think of any. Ah, yeah. children being abused. If somebody hurts my child in any pervert kind...

He gives me the chills

I am at awe.Just simply at awe and I want to share him.Share his incredible genius --his talent to capture a single second and break your heart with it.that you would look at the picture and reach out as if you could actually touch the strand of the hair and feel the breathing.I want to share his genius --his incredible capacity to write down a word. one or two. a sentence. And have your heart ripped out from your chest.Or just sit amazed that someone...
