May I beg Your Pardon?

“Excuse me, may I beg your pardon?”

That’s something I learned in grade one. Ms. Valdez, my homeroom adviser and English teacher who I felt did not particularly like me, taught us that polite way of asking someone to repeat what s/he just said.

According to her, it’s more courteous than blurting out, “What?”

Last week, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo granted executive clemency to Former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada thereby restoring the convicted ex-president’s civil and political rights.

Wow, how compassionate of our president!

An absolute pardon.

Excuse me but I really have to say this, “What?!?”

* * *

Here’s the deal. We are raised in such a way that we are most likely inclined to do the right things. And so we get punished for every blunder we commit. Somehow we realize where we went wrong and how that harmed or could have harmed us or others. And if we keep an open mind, we learn our lesson and do better next time.

Erap, he screwed up. He screwed not himself, not his family, but the whole Filipino people. He did that at the ripe old age of 63. (Well at least that’s when he got caught.)

He was detained for 6 ½ years, not on some cold and cramped prison cell, but on a rather comfy camp. And I bet his food still tasted great. I don’t think that at that long a time, he was ever deprived of an aid—someone who’d clean his stuff, including his pants and underpants.

The whole time, Erap never pleaded guilty to plunder nor perjury. He never diplayed any sign of remorse for doing the country ill. And he keeps on wearing that dang wristband with the presidential logo.

Something tells me nobody learned anything.

If I had things my way, I’d say two people are in badly need of spanking: the one who got away without learning anything, and the one who’s trying to sneak out as if we wouldn’t notice what she’s doing.

Etymology of the word ‘Nightmare’

Every moment is a potential teaching-learning moment. A mundane occasion like Halloween is not exempted.

Have you ever wondered where the word “nightmare” came from? Let the sexy and smart host of HotForWords teach you something new.

Trick or Treat?

Going trick or treat is not common in our country. In fact, kids dressing up as ghosts, witches, or monsters and knocking on their neighbors doors were unheard of outside gated subdivisions. Year after year though, more and more communities have embraced the custom. More villages, schools, and offices are now celebrating halloween with trick or treat.

And although I find it a challenge trying to explain to my 4-year old that there are really no monsters, I dressed him up as a bat, his kid brother as tigger (of Winnie the Pooh) and brought them over to collect tons and tons of candy from my generous colleagues.

Tagaytay Vacation

Just got home from a Tagaytay escapade with high school friends. And it is certainly hard to be going home knowing that:

  1. Seemingly, another hacker trashed my site (tesstermulo.com) and caused it to exceed its bandwidth limit again.
  2. I’m going to face work and studies again.

Tagaytay is really the place for me. Not so urban and yet not so provincial. I like the weather and that there aren’t that too many people around, but not too few that will make me think I got exiled for doing naughty deeds. Haha. I think I can live in a house like this forever:

Are ORBS ghosts?

MY FORMER INTERNS borrowed my digital camera and had a photo session in the Speakers’ Guest House in Baguio City. It was in July 2006, and their last day in Baguio during their LGU exposure trip so they took turns on shooting each other’s photos for posterity. When they were done, I reviewed what they got, and was surprised to see an orb or two in some of the photos. These are indoor shots and apparently, these are the only indoor shots that have “orbs” in them.

uBlog, iVlog: “Pinoy Vlogging”

Now, in the spirit of celebrating the birth of my new home (thanks BratyFly!), I have whipped up a mini-blogging project for everyone – open for all interested bloggers. This aims to spread the word about the magic of the growing craft of vlogging (video blogging) in the Philippines and to encourage pinoy bloggers to try it out.

And come to think of it, there has not been much about Pinoy Vlogging when you search it in Google. Hope this will be a good start.

Wanna join? Let’s do it!
