Bracelet
I met her when Ella and I were still dating about five years back. She was an adorable person. She was my friend. She was Ella’s grandma.
I would always hear her usual greeting “Hi, Jay!” whenever she sees me especially when I pick Ella at mid-morning for a date. In a way, I have always enjoyed in the company of grandmas and that makes me feel normal all the time. I just like to talk to them and listen to their life stories and laugh. Feel like I’m still a kid listening to Lola Basyang’s stories in the afternoon.
One time, I made her a bracelet out of swarovski (not sure of the spelling) jewels that Ella and I bought at Divisoria. I asked her not to lose it.
Incredibly not credible
The other night, justice secretary Gonzales was complaining about Smith’s continued stay at the Makati City Jail citing that the Philippines has lost its credibility in the face of the international community.
He also blamed (and sarcastically thanked) Judge Gozon for the US’ decision to withdraw VFA with the AFP and the US humanitarian mission in the Bicol region. He cited a ceratin provision of the treary that makes Smith under the custody of the US Embassy.
