Cooking Kutsinta

I was in a cooking mood for the last couple of days. It was only after I visited Sher's blog that it occurred to me to post a pic of what I've been cooking. We're still flooded. I know now how it feels to live on an island. It's very cold and I figured good food seems appropriate.Today, I decided to make some kutsinta for snacks. I love Kutsinta and I love the fact that it's not difficult to cook and you don't even have to bother buying a lot of...

Not Infatuation but Love

I've had my own fair share of infatuations. I still blush out of sheer embarrassment every time I'd remember the objections of these infatuations. I would even cringe when I would remember how I embarrassed myself! It's funny how love is so different from being infatuated. Sometimes, I'd find myself amaze about how I, sometimes, finish a meal with my husband without us saying any word at all. It didn't even occurred to us that we should talk. We were just so comfortable with each other that we need not speak without getting all flustered up...

What is the Most Beautiful Sound on Earth?

I am a fan of Paulo Coelho's blog.In one post, a question was asked, "What is the most beautiful sound on Earth?"Well, what would you say Sher? What is the most beautiful sound to you? Floog would have a long list. He can start with the sounds he hears every time he takes those long walks with his wife.Anyway, I kept on reading. One person said, "the sound of the flute". I paused and considered this answer, well, perhaps, I thought. So, I decided to make a list of the most beautiful soundS in the earth for me.1. My daughter's laughter.2. My daughter's...

My love letters

I love writing love letters. I have written hundreds of love letters in my life time. They were reflections of the love I had for different people -- my mother, my friends and yes, my love for people who at one time or another held my heart. Hell, I even wrote love letters for people I did not give a damn about. Ask my friend Bobet who asked me to write a love letter for one of his exes, or Tin who asked me to write a letter for Mark, or my Kuya Victor for whom I wrote a love letter for our neighbor. I was only 12 years old that time.Love...

Almost a Lady

She wanted to try out the lipstick.She's at that stage where her imagination is starting to kick in. She uses the comb as her phone. She imitates me putting on lotion or perfume. Unfortunately, she pretends that her milk bottle is her lotion/perfume bottle. It's hilarious thou...

An Island Retreat

The water is really freaking high. Yesterday, I was actually fearing for my life. The rain was pouring down hard and it was really scary. I was imagining all sorts of things like the water rushing in from the river and covering our entire house. I was definitely freaked out. We're literally camping out. We're eating, cooking and sleeping on the balcony. Like most medium-sized families, we only have one bathroom. We couldn't take a bath or...

Poverty on the Other Side of the Fence

Earlier a neighbor came over. After talking to her for a couple of minutes, we got to talk about her brain cancer. She was hoping that the healing mass of Fr. Suarez will cure her of her brain tumor. I was deeply saddened by her pain. I kept thinking, "If I had only a couple of millions to give to her --" A cancer treatment here especially if it's brain cancer would cost her a couple of millions at least. Because her family does not even have enough money to buy food, she's just waiting to die.The same story went with two of our neighbors....

La Niña Sucks

I am writing this from our house' balcony. The unfortunate thing about living in this place is that we constantly experience flooding. It's been raining hard for a couple of weeks now. Our house is flooded. So, we have to evacuate again upstairs. Really sucks. We have to bring all our things upstairs again. I swear! I am going to have our room upstairs finished by the end of the month! I don't want to go through this over and over again. Usually, we experience flooding only if there is a huge storm or typhoon. Unfortunately, the La Niña...

Hurting Like Hell

My big toe is losing a nail. Seriously! It has no nail at all. It's freaky, weird, awful and it hurts like hell! If you think blogging about my dead nail is disgusting as well as boring, well then go on! Get out of here! Go to Perezhilton.com and stare at La Lohan's boobies or Britney's crotch! I had a cute nail before Erbe killed it with his feet. At first, I thought it was merely traumatized but it started to get black. Apparently, when a nail has too much nail polish, or it was traumatized (like Erbe did with it) or a fungus decided to...

Sher and Floog's Lists

Because they decided to post their "10 Things I'd Like to Say to Certain People" in my blog's comments instead of putting it in their own blog. I decided to just go ahead and put their lists on my blog. Now, a favorite chef of mine Sher said --Here's my 10 tho I've said one to some oompaloompa online (I'm in trouble!)(1) I hate smokers! Die smokers die!(2) You have a HUGE head mate.(3) You can't spell you retard!(4) You're fat. Stop wearin fishnet stockings.. reminds me of ham with string...(5) You're ugly.

10 Things I Wish I Could Say

Sometimes, you keep your mouth shut because you don't want to offend. You want to keep the peace. But wouldn't you just love to scream the things that you are dying to say to some people in your life. Well, if I could -- here are the top 10 Things I would love to say to certain people. The Twisted Sister inspired me to do this. This could be a Meme -- hers. A sentence for one person. Here goes --1. Don't fall in love with him please. You're going to get hurt. I think he's gay.2. You are a HUGE hypocrite. You preach about God and...

Weirder and Still Panty-less Nana Delia

I once wrote a post on my weird and panty-less Nana Delia. The other day, she dropped by for another visit. Again, she was a major stinkO because apparently, it has been days since she last took a bath. God she smelled like she was carrying a thousand dead rats! Nana Delia is a fanatical Catholic. She defines the word "fanatic". If the word walks, Nana Delia is it. Every nook and crook of her little house has pictures of Jesus and Mary pasted on them. In fact, she practically wallpapered their walls with religious pictures. She even...

Calling for the Resignation of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo*

I, the undersigned, hereby express my whole-hearted support for star witness Rodolfo Noel ‘Jun’ Lozada for his brave resolve to divulge everything he knows and thus further expose unresolved issues of corruption in government. I also hereby express my solidarity with various church groups, the business sector, people’s organizations and concerned Filipino citizens who have similarly expressed confidence in Mr. Lozada’s sincerity and credibility.I look forward to the further unraveling of Mr. Lozada’s revelations. I unite with the belief of the...

My Noise Barrage -- Supporting Jun Lozada

This is the picture of one of the thousands of victims of this government. Being a law graduate, the concepts of justice and equality before the law has been drilled into my head so thoroughly that it has become a part of my own principles. Ask me to choose between compassion and justice, and I would choose justice without any qualms.I believe that people have to pay for their crimes. I believe in this country's Constitution and I applaud the...

Where's the Snow?

Geeze. It's freaking cold. Being in a tropical island where seasons are either sunny or rainy, it is quite rare to have such a freeze-your-ass temperature/weather. I forced myself to take a bath today. I could forgive myself for refusing to take a bath yesterday but two days in a row is quite disgusting. Even with warm water, the bath was still freezing cold. The good thing about this is that I don't sweat and I smell good all the time. It's weird though to be wearing a thick jacket inside the house. I even have socks on. I wonder how people...

Choosing Mesothelioma Attorneys

Life can be harsh sometimes. You go to your 8-hour job and you go home dead tired. You do this routine daily and incessantly. You do this because you want to feed your family. All you ask from your employer is that he ensures your health. Well, you wouldn’t have to worry about your health if you’re not exposed to dangerous chemicals. But what if you are dealing with asbestos on a daily basis? You, my friend, need to be concerned.

Asian Sportsbooks Review

In the course of my research for an online writing work, I found out that there are little information about Asian Sportsbooks. I decided to contribute additional information to interested online players. Heck, if you’re not into online gambling, you probably wouldn’t know what an Asian Sportsbook is, right? Sportsbooks are actually the online betting or gaming arena for – obviously, sports which includes soccer, basketball, baseball or basically every sports in the planet.You’d find thousands of sportsbooks online but Asian Sportsbooks raise apprehensions....

Wandering Thoughts

Crossing my fingers 1. For the job interview tomorrow. I hope I would be able to understand the interviewer's Australian brogue.2. For the job exams next week. I hope there are no accounting questions. I hope I'd be able to memorize the multiplication table before examination day. Sue me! I cannot seem to memorize the frickin' thing despite all my efforts. I'm pretty good at analysis though. I just need a calculator most of the time.3. For the...

Marcos Impresses Me

Ferdinand Marcos is written in history books as the hateful dictator. In my opinion though, I think that he could have been the greatest president of this country. That is, if his wife did not ruin him. It's not surprising though. History has proven time and time again that the downfall of men is their women. Marcos was a great statesmen, a great lawmaker, a great lawyer.Did you know that he is the only person in the history of the Philippines who ever stood in front of the Supreme Court to orally take the bar exams? He was imprisoned at...

Evil Impersonated

Do you want to see EVIL IMPERSONATED? Them! God I hate them! They're evil and greedy and they're making the Filipinos miserable. They do not have qualms about killing people -- journalists and activists. If you are a Filipino, have you been following the case of Lozada? Have you seen the latest news where the NBI has allegedly raided his office just so they could find evidence against Jun Lozada? They are evil! You'd be amazed at how they use...

Spelling or Spileng?

You'd find humor from the strangest places. Unfortunately, these humorous things also reveal the social truth that defines the kind of education most Filipinos receive. While on the way home from Legaspi, we were sitting in front of the van and ahead of us was a truck which had a writing on the back required to be posted by the Land Transportation Office. After I read the crudely written message, I was struck by the hilarity of it and I suddenly...

An encounter with two-faced biatches

It sucks when you think people is speaking ill of you. It sucks when you can actually hear them. It sucks!I went to Legazpi City today with Erbe. We had to secure my civil service certificate for the job requirement. He lost the original copy so I had no choice but to travel to Legaspi. I hate traveling because I end up dizzy and sick which exactly what happened. In fact, when we got to Legaspi, I vomited my guts out on the side of the road. Ugh....

What is Mesothelioma?

What is Mesothelioma? This was supposed to be quite a rare form of cancer but have increasingly begun to be a common type. But what can you expect?

Mesothelium is the lining that usually protects and covers internal organs like the lungs, the chest cavity, peritoneum...

Questions about the Genesis

I went to Church today.The reading was about the Genesis. Now, what I don't understand is that the Church admits that this part of the bible is purely fiction. Why are they reading this in Church? Why are they teaching this?Catholics are baptized to remove the original sin which apparently was committed by Adam and Eve.If the story was fiction, why do we still have original sin?Can somebody explain this to ...
