A Friend in Frankfurt
I squatted down near the phone at the Frankfurt Main train station rummaging through my carry-on to look for her number. I glance up momentarily and right into my sightline waddled this extremely familiar woman with her husband and child in tow.
A very loud “HOY!” escaped from my lips before I could stop it. The only thing that prevented me from running to her were my bags. Melissa and J had not changed one bit. Maganda at guapo pa rin! They were as I remembered them years back, except for the fact that she had a round belly and that they had their little retazo, JP who I was setting eyes on for the first time.

The taxi ride tonight was a bit surreal. At first, I thought I was hearing some pseudo church music along with the cab’s two-way radio. Then I realized that the music was coming from the car stereo. The cab driver was playing music with nothing but “Hare Krishna” in the lyrics.
I had a lot of time to kill before picking up my daughters at their dorm yesterday. I knew about the Fil Negosyo Expo 2006 at the 5th floor Megatrade Hall, SM Megamall starting on June 23 till July 2, 2006 . My curiosity got the better of me.

Many thought that it is a loss for MERALCO if it gave-up its large consumers with a power consumption of 1 MW or more (and allow them to have a freedom to choose its own power supplier) since a big chunk of its consumers are industrial and commercial users which utilize power of more that 1 MW.

In about two hours, Ka Satur and wife Ka Bobbie are set to arrive in Geneva to the warm embrace and cheers from members of Migrante International-Switzerland chapter. I am sure Ka Satur will go straight to work, to perhaps frantically reschedule meetings with human rights monitors and fellow parliamentarians who have all expected to see him earlier this week.
Frankly, I did not expect Ka Satur to be able to go to Geneva last night. Yes, he secured a permit from the Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 57.
