 I don’t understant if what kind of life i have now. Since, we transfered here in a new place, my tears starting to fall most of the time. Almost everyday i cry that i don’t know what am i going to do. Just a simple problem, I easily discouraged. I wanted to overcome this kind of situations I have but i don’t know how. It seems my friends are too far from me taht they are not in my side during those sad moments I have. I am not happyhere in my new place. It seems that the world doesn’t like me. What shall I do? Plz help me. It seems that i am really different with my co-teengers. I want to be happy but I don’t know what really happy is. I am so tired of the poverty we suffer and most of all people that make me discouraged.

Congrats to My Mom

Mom after Naturalization

Mom took her oath and became a naturalized US citizen on November 30, Friday. Congrats, mom!

She is the last one. Mine took place about three years ago. I went ahead and did it because my green card (aka permanent resident or “alien” registration card — I’m not sure why they call it that, it sounds so negative) was about to expire. I didn’t want to expire on me so I couldn’t wait on mom and dad any longer. Dad and Jen were both naturalized last year. Their green cards actually expired on them.

Mom’s green card had a later expiration date because she lost her purse several years ago and had to renew everything. Therefore, her green card ended up with a later expiration date than mine and Jen’s. Our entire family is now naturalized. Woot! Woot!

I haven’t found a huge advantage to being naturalized other than we now have the right to vote and we won’t have to pay for a green card renewal every few years. In the long run, being a US citizen is more cost effective.

Some people wouldn’t dare consider pledging to another country. They would maintain their original citizenship or at the very least maintain dual citizenship. Even though we are all naturalized Americans now, we haven’t forsaken the Philippines. I love my home country and will forever call it my home (although in most of my online profiles — e.g. Facebook, MySpace, etc. — I refer to Wichita as my hometown). We are not unpatriotic to our country of origin. We are merely pragmatic.

I suppose we have assimilated more than we realize. Pragmatism is very American. I’m proud to be one, and I’m happy that my mom is now one too. Congrats!

File this under web discovery.

I may be one of the few I know who love hearing and reading anecdotes. Whenever I say the word, people always seem to respond with a puzzled look. A whatta? It may just be that I’m not around the right people. Whatever the case maybe, I have found kindred spirits online. Anecdotage.com is a web site devoted to preserving and sharing anecdotes. Their mission is to be the world’s widest collection of celebrity anecdotes. Read more >>

MANILA, Philippines — A group of civilians calling themselves members of The Grand Order of Fail stormed Hotel Sogo in Cubao, Quezon City and declared what they call a “LOL D’état”. They have easily taken over hotel security by threatening them with suspicious-looking liquids contained within sealed vials marked with labels such as “herpes”, “syphilis”, “pubic lice”, “erectile dysfunction”, “premature ejaculation”, and the ominous “I don’t know what the fuck this is but you don’t want to get infected by it”.

Dear Santa Clause,

Hi! Hello! Kamusta na po kayo? Minarapat ko pong sumulat sa inyo dahil sa nalalapit na Pasko. Nitong nakalipas na taon ay naging “nice” naman po ako at naging wholesome. Nakapagpatayo na nga rin po ako ng mga punso para sa mga homeless na anay, langgam at mga nuno. Itinakwil ko na rin po ang aking malilibog na kaisipan at ipinamigay na ang aking mga porno sa mga higit na nangangailangan.

Ituloy ang pagbabasa ng liham.

Squid on the Crunch

You must understand that as a professional writer I am of the greedy, unscrupulous sort. If you wag enough bills in front of my face I will write the vilest, most disgusting piece of offal ever conceived by the mind of a television brainstormer. Most mainstream writers I know retain a modicum of their youth’s artistic principles and so would debase themselves in the worship of Mammon only low enough as to be able to feed themselves and their families but not any lower. I, on the other hand, am known for my mercenary disposition. Now if you think that’s a bluff, let me introduce you to an abomination I sired in my avarice; a wretched thing so loathsome my friends bring it up in parties to embarrass me:

CRUNCHTIME HERE!
