Tracey Connelley, Baby P's Evil Mom, Shows NO Remorse

I have never been affected by any story as much as Baby P's story has affected me. Yesterday evening, I found myself sobbing twice! I just can't get over the sheer horror of the story.

Elisabeth Fritzi Interview

If you've come across my blog, you're probably looking for an update on Elisabeth Fritzi.I am seriously keeping tabs of this story as well. The last I read was that story about Kristin finally waking up from her coma. Let's just hope she'll recover from the whole ordeal. It was reported that Elisabeth Fritzi will give an Interview.This news has been proven false by the family lawyer. It' s absurd actually. It's too soon. Anyway, the family lawyer said that Elisabeth is not yet up for the whole brouhaha.So, I guess that's it then. No interviews.Let's...

To My Dearest Fan

An Ode to a Good Friendship

This is a video of my friends with whom I went to school with.I have been friends with Khristine since 2nd grade. I even missed a First Communion practice because I had to comfort her because she lost her front tooth while we were playing. Poor Tin! She had to wear a silver tooth for the next seven years. We used to nag her to give us the tooth so we could sell it.I've been friends with the rest since 5th and 6th grade.Yes, we are still friends 'til n...

Gratitude

I want to remind myself of the countless things that I should be grateful for. And I am humbled by the number of blessings I have. I am grateful for -- The way my daughter’s eyes crinkle when she smiles at me the minute I open my eyes. She would usually lie down beside me and sing, “Twinkle, twinkle little star” or would be doing some picture reading of her books while she waits for me to wake up. She’s magical to me. She is. I am eternally...

Speaking of Hope

I hope the view over by the bridge in front of our house will never stop from taking my breath away. I hope that each day gives me the opportunity to become a better wife, mother, child, sister, aunt, daughter and friend – a better human being. I hope I’d get to eat that tuna pizza from my favorite Pizza Hut outlet in Brunei one more time. I hope I’ll never have a bad dream again. I hope I’d get the time to read the Linda Lael Miller book my sister and I just bought soon. I hope my best friends, Sussette and Alano, have truly found...

Wishing on a Star

If a tooth fairy stands before me tonightOr if a star demands that I make a wish,I’d say that I would like to have – Snow. Just for freaking once in my whole 28 years of existence.Not innocence. I’m far from being the Virgin Mary (forgive the blasphemy Lord) but I’d love to be reminded of innocence. Somehow, I think I have gotten this wish with my little girl’s kiss. I’d like a Cowboy’s hat or the Mad Hatter’s Hat and I’d do a mean “Let’s Shock Alice” song and dance. Release. I don’t care how you would interpret this. I want this....

Just Venting

I'm really, really exhausted.I would love a week of doing nothing.Nothing.I would just love to read Judith McNaught books and then eat a lot of double dutch ice cream.I would love to play Sims 2 for hours on end.Sometimes, I just want to be selfish and think about myself and have things for myself --without feeling that I need to share because I'm a wife or a mother.IS THAT BAD?I'm not having a nervous breakdown.I'm just tired from working so hard. I've been working and working. I don't even have time to blog.I need a bre...

Half of them are waiting to have their children removed from the rubble.I am greatly saddened by this news.At the same time, I am deeply thankful that I have my daughter sleeping beside me tonight; and I am guilty that I feel blessed.I am not better than them. I wonder how it works. I wonder why God decides...

Charice Pempengco on Oprah

I didn't give her much notice when she was in that competition -- Little Big Star, I think. But my sister was gushing about her. My sister would come home after class running just so she could catch Charice performance. Back then, my sister already loved her and was rooting for her.Anyways, here's the video of Charice on Oprah. The news said that Oprah invited her to come back to promote her CD. It didn't occur to me that anyone outside this country would want to buy her CD. Until I went on Oprah.com community and I read a comment asking where...

Welcoming Nathania Lexie

I remember that day. I went to Lynette's house because I couldn't get hold of her. She wasn't answering my calls or messages and I didn't know what was wrong. Reaching her house, her mother came to the gate."She's not answering my calls or messages. Is something wrong?" I asked.I didn't expect the answer. Her mom's face fell and she told us what happened to Nette --"She got married a couple of months ago."Ha?"She gave birth to her baby a month ago."What?!pause."She...

Elisabeth Fritzi -- Austria's System Latest Victim or Just Her Father's?

This news story shocked and disgusted me. Curiously, however, I devour every little detail I could get from it. It's a humiliating morbid curiosity that I probably share with everyone who has read and followed this gruesome story.My memory of my father while growing up were good ones. He would usually wake us up on Sundays in such ungodly hour -- 4 in the morning -- to go to Church with him. My sister and I were really pissed off. We would be...
