I am a mother but not a nanay

Fact:

I am married.

and yes, I am on the hefty side these days.

But darn it, you don't call me "nay!"

Geeze!

The trike driver called me that twice this morning while going to my review class.

I restrained myself from clubbing him on the head.

Nay!

Do I look like I'm practically menopausal?!

Madam President, do you cry?

Your a mother.

Do you cry for all those mothers who lost their child these last years, all because of political killings?

When you learn that another husband has been lost to another wife, do you feel her pain at all?

Do you feel anything at all, I wonder.

Or have you been blinded with the sheer lust for power that the plight of those people is nothing to you?

Do you cry in the middle of the night when things seem tough?

How do you bear all the things that they said you have done?

All the killings.

the cheating.

the scheming.

the lying.

Sometimes, I wonder where in you
is the woman?
the mother?
the wife?

I really wonder if you still do cry.

ATBP

My sister has gone to London to look at the Queen.

Well, she's gone.

I really thought it was fine, but its harder when you are studying in her room.

Geeze.

So, for some hours I gave in and bawled.

Anyways, I'm going through the Bar Review.

It's fine.

Exhausting.

Really exhausting.

I love the reviewers though.

So, I will probably go on Blog Leave.

I will also resign from my job.

Anyways, let me share these pics of my little girl and her aunt, Osel.

She's the one on the right.

Sassy Girl.

Here, she' s the one having her bottom poked.

Anyways, I just love the pics. gotta share it.

Sometimes, I am ashamed of my countrymen

I apologize.

I apologize to Julia Campbell and her family.
I am deeply ashamed.
She didn't deserve what happened to her.
It angers me.
The sheer atrocity!

To kill a person who has been doing nothing but help out this forsaken country.

Julia was a funny, intelligent, beautiful, and kind-hearted human being.
You can read her blog and you'd know how truly wonderful she was. Her blog is worth reading. It speaks so much of how truly it is like here in the Philippines.
She spent two years helping out Filipinos and suffering stomach worms (that she even named her worm - Fred).
She really didn't deserve what happened to her
I'm so ashamed.
And I'm truly sorry.
