The Pain of Loss

"What hurts me the most is that I know he didn't want to die. He had so much to live for. Why did we have to go through all those trials when in the end, he'd be taken away from me..."This is what my friend said while we were talking about Mike, her husband.She just didn't have the time to prepare herself for that huge loss in her life. Some people have that blessing, but not her.The night he died, her cellphone rested on top of their bed's side...

Disciplining Your Child

Two little boys, a1ges 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it.If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in...

Weapon Against Ghosts and Nightmares

Yesterday, I was working late and I realized that I had seen a dead man's body that day. It was Mike but he was dead nonetheless.A believer in ghosts (because I've seen them so many times before), I freaked out and decided to sleep. So, I jumped into bed with my husband. It was so hot so I asked my husband to move a little but to make sure he had his back touching mine.This is a weird habit of mine.I grew up without my Mother. So, my sister and I were forced to watch each other's back even against ghosts and bad dreams. We shared the same...

An Update

It was not easy. You could say I was in an extreme emotional seesaw.Both of my friends were in the same hospital. One was in the operating room; the other in the Morgue area waiting for her husband's body to be released.I first went to the latter. Seeing her, I was just so devastated by her loss. Irene loves her husband a lot. Often, I'd see them going home from school (she was a Law school classmate/good friend). Mike would fetch her and they'd walk home holding hands. Mike was Irene's soul mate, best friend, confidant, and great love....

Living and Dying

I woke up at around 7 am. Paige was already awake and was demanding for her "dada" (her favorite mickey mouse pillow) and her "mamam". (a bottle of milk).I was geared up for work today and I was planning of going to the hospital to visit my friend who is going to give birth to a baby girl today. I was really happy about this one because she lost her last baby (a week after she gave birth) which was really devastating for her.She did not have an easy pregnancy with this baby. She had to go on a complete bed rest for months and months. So, I'm...

The Priest

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous I take a sip."So the next Sunday he took the Monsignor's advice.At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon return to his office after mass he found the following note on his door:1) Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.2) There are...

I'm OK

I seem to be making everyone worried with my last post. I'm considering deleting it but I like the "worried" comments. I even got a hug and a cake from Sher. I'm okay. I was just being my nasty self when I posted the last entry. I was just having fun. As you know there is this person who loves to read my blog. She gets mad when she reads bad stuffs about her. So, I do not want to disappoint her. I think she gets her excitement from my blog.Anyway, I've been quite busy and I'll be attending a wedding this afternoon. I'm also in-love with my niece....

Ranting

He deleted you from his account. I did not tell him to. I know you probably think I did. Well, you'd think that because you think that's what insecure people do. Insecure? I wonder why you think that. I won -- if there ever was a contest. Sadly, there never was. Anyway, He didn't want you in his list in the first place. I was the one who added you and I was the one answering your messages. I was nice because I pitied you. I still do.Why did he delete from his list?You were starting to irritate him again. He thinks you're like this fungus...

Brian Gorrell and DJ Montano

You've all probably heard about Brian Gorrell and his blog.Brian Gorrell, the Australian who was duped by his Filipino ex-boyfriend, the same HIV-positive gay who sent his ex $70,000 USD for their supposedly "business" here.His ex-boyfriend, DJ Montanta, is a member of the country's (Philippines) elite.In order to force Mr. Montana to pay him back, Brian started series of expose about the Philippines' elite -- describing a story of extravagance, sex and drugs -- all the dirty stuff.I started reading his blog. The posts are long, but they're completely...

Another Mushy Post

I could list a lot of reasons why I love being married to my husband.One of them is having him right beside me to turn to whenever I have nightmares.Before we got married, when I'd have nightmares, I'd immediately call him up on the phone and he'd spent a few minutes soothing me back to sleep.Now, when I'd have nightmares, I could just immediately scoot over closer to him, have him wrap his arms around me, kiss my forehead and I'd immediately go...

A Good Day Indeed!

It's one in the morning. I haven't been sleeping well for the last couple of days, so I told Erbe I had to catch a few winks earlier this evening."Just a couple", I said."I'd wake up soon enough to finish my work." I added.Unfortunately, the "couple" of winks turned into thousands -- practically the story of Rip Van Winkle, you might say.So, here I am forcing myself to wake up just so I can work.I had a good day. I think Floog's Ramblings or rather "online book" where he featured me in Chapter Eight made my day. It was fun being described the...

Charice Pempengco at Oprah

She's done it again. She wowed London. I just wish though she didn't sing the same songs she sang at Ellen Degeneres. And guess what? She'd be guesting at Oprah! She'd be a guest! And all I wanted was to sit in the audience. Click to watch the Teaser. It's amazi...

One Great Love

Earlier, a friend told me something that I found really interesting. Apparently, I have an avid blog reader. This person (which FYI I do not expect to be reading my blog) had actually bookmark this blog for easy access.My husband and I had a laugh over this piece of juicy information. After being accused of being insecure, it is ironic to find out that the person accusing me of insecurity spends precious minutes reading my blog.After having our laughs, Erbe and I settled for a philosophical discussion about love. I asked him why he thinks some...

Mistaken Identity

Last Sunday, we decided to eat out for dinner after Church. So, we went to this kind-of Jap resto here in town.Before our meal was even served, Paige was already her rambunctious self. She started her antics with tipping over a plateful of soy sauce all over her dress. Great, I thought.I spent the next 15 minutes trying to prevent the total destruction of the restaurant.Our meal was eventually served by this waiter who curiously looked like my husband. Halfway through the meal, Paige saw the waiter and suddenly began screaming at the top of her...

Some Things to Look Foward To

There are three things that I'm looking forward to this week. I wish I could say I have some great orgy all plan out for the weekend so I could shock you silly, but sadly, I'm a boring woman. I have a pretty wild imagination but life is pretty much boring. I'm pleased with it though. First off, I'm looking forward to cooking Beef Pochero. Sher, you have to definitely try this one out. I do not have time to cook so I'm thinking of cooking it this...

Do You Have a Boring Life?

Do you feel like you’re stuck in a rut?We complain of how sometimes our lives seem so methodical. I get up, open the computer and work my ass off until God knows what time. Do I complain? Yes.Do I think that my life is all about routines? Yes.It doesn’t matter what you are and where you are – at one point in your life, you’d probably tugged at your hair out of sheer frustration. It’s a trait that all of us humans share. The curious thing about it though is that we love the routines as much as we hate it.Think about it. Why do I say so? ...

Back from the Ashes

Hi everyone!I'm feeling a whole lot better. I haven't been conspicuously absent because of the bar exam results. I was silent for a while because I was sick. I still am sick. I am just forcing myself to get out of bed and work. I had a bout of typhoid fever. I didn't want to stay in the hospital so I've been taking a course of antibiotics instead. This particular brand makes me weak. Thank you so much for your kind words. Thank you for the outpouring of sympathy. Hey, sh*t happens, right?Anyway, I'm going to write a longer post on whatever...
