The Parting II

Wednesday

Part I here.
He woke up in a room he did not recognize. His head was throbbing with pain from his hangover.

Did I drink that much, he asked himself.

Slowly, he took in the details of the room. The wall adjacent to him was full of posters and photographs. Floor to ceiling windows were to his left, white curtains billowing, the cold morning breeze bringing goose bumps to his skin. The concave ceiling was painted with a scene from Dante’s Inferno. He had read that book. He found it kind of disturbing, but the way it was depicted in the painting wasn’t so bad. It was probably because the painting was faded. He imagined it in full color and detail and shuddered. He shifted to his right side. He noticed that there was a big mirror flanking the windows. It encompassed the whole wall, including the door. In the corner close to the bed was a bar, filled with different kinds of liquor. (more…)

We can make a difference!

Dear readers, In response to my previous post, Mr. Perfecto sent me this email. Instead of having it on the comments section, I suppose creating a new thread will be better. It contains practical steps to contribute in a little way. Enjoy reading.

======

I wrote a similar article that was published in July 23, 2000. This time I would like to share with you some suggestions that may improve our economy and generate jobs for millions of Filipinos. Perhaps our Filipino brothers and sisters who are well off can play a major role in this task of economic survival.

Invest your surplus funds on agricultural ventures and enterprises. Encourage our businessmen to concentrate on providing enough food for all Filipinos

  • Buy only Filipino-made goods. (Avoid buying smuggled or imported goods). When we buy Filipino-made goods, we assure our children jobs when they graduate.
  • Use your spare time studying entrepreneurship or learning a new business. Make yourself productive all the time.
  • Cut-down on recreation and entertainment expenses and save the amount in our local banks.

Apart from Creative-Weblogging, b5media and KnowMoreMedia, I will also be freelancing for BootsnAll Network. Of course, it has to do with travel again. Apart from that, I am also doing grassroots marketing for a new travel resource and will also be contributing on their corporate blog. Phew!

Life After Loss

Wednesday
Oct 25,2006

When you lose so many people in your life, somehow or another, you become like a poster girl for grief. Other people would dread the title but it is something that I have taken in stride. Through my losses, I have found my life’s purpose and God’s mission for me here on earth. This is the reason behind this third, and most recent blog and a new ministry that God has directed my husband and me into.On November 18, 2006, my husband H and I will launch Griefshare at the Greenhills Christian Fellowship in Ortigas.

Pyro at Smackdown and Wish Ko Lang

Wednesday
Oct 25,2006

There is power in blogging and e-mailing indeed… but only when it’s a cause taken up by people who actually feel a passion for the cause.

And lots of people felt comPASSIONate about my nephew Pyro.

And GMA TV network listened… and WWE listened… heck, even Batista was made to allot some time for my 3-year old nephew. The WISH KO LANG episode will be aired on November 04.

And of course, I took some a lot of pictures of the Smackdown event and my beloved Undertaker… and couldn’t help but cry when Batista made his entrance because it’s true what he said…

… my nephew is stronger than we are.

Katatawanan! Si PUGO at si TOGO!

Mahilig ka ba sa comics? Madalas tayo magbasa ng comics noon, at yung mga talagang nahiligan magbasa ng comics ay nagbabasa pa rin ng mga bagong comics ngayon. Pero nasaan na ang iyong mga lumang comics? Natatandaan mo pa ba ang mga istorya? Ang mga tauhan o characters? Ano ang paburito mong comics noon? Mahirap hanapin ang mga lumang comics ngayon, mas lalo na ang original comics ng mga Filipino comics legends tulad nila: Francisco V. Conching, Jesse F.

Pinned

I knew something like this is bound to happen — a pedicab going against the flow of traffic on a busy narrow street of Manila — and causing an adverse incident.

This pedicab driver, despite knowing he had no other place to go, insisted on inching forward and thereby getting pinned when the bus finally tried to move. Fortunately, it wasn’t a bumper-to-bumper situation, which allowed the bus driver to back up and maneuver his bus away from the pinned pedicab.

I’m sorry, but I have to interrupt your daily dose of retard for some good ol’ fashioned pimpin’.

One of the sites I frequent and write for, The Man Blog, probably the only site dedicated to the awesomeness of man (actually, it’s a clever ploy by Mike “Fucking” Villar to get laid, amongst other things), has been nominated for the 9th Annual Philippine Web Awards!

Man Blog

Well, we are goddamn proud of this achievement because that means the TMB crews’ hard work paid off. You see, kidnapping the Webby award organizers and forcing them at gunpoint to get the nomination is a lot of work. By the way, don’t worry about them. After a few weeks of therapy I heard that they only cry themselves to sleep intermittently.

mind you, this is not your ordinary teenage vampire slayer. since i’ve been a sucker for Lush products, I grabbed this ingenious, exfoliating body butter since I’ve heard positive raves about its anti-cellulite prowess. I don’t have those icky, nasty thigh dimples, but I use it to lighten and smoothen up my rear and thighs or even hinder/lighten those stretchies from invading my upper thighs ;) .
