Roxas takes over LP helm, signals 2010 Palace run

MANILA, Philippines — With a disguised campaign slogan for a backdrop, Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II Monday assumed the leadership of the Liberal Party, apparently signaling the launch of his presidential bid in 2010.

An Open Letter to Myself. From Myself.

Mr. Ade Magnaye,

It has come to my attention that in the seven months since you became single, your financial, emotional, sexual, and physical well-being has been in a state of constant decline. Yes, I know, you have the urge to tear this letter apart this very moment, and I don’t blame you. In fact, you have every reason to tear this letter apart and jump from the roof of your garage and land facefirst onto the pavement. Again. Hey, it’s your life and I don’t care if you want to waste it by being depressed like fuck and hiding under a blanket and the 20+ pillows you keep in your bedroom.

Worst, I could have terminated her at once… but wait, I guess I have to do it as per labor policy. Due process it is… This was my reaction to a certain supervisor on that particular mall after I heard her. Just last night after I saw my pitiful face on that book I mentioned in my previous post things turned bad. As to why I did not post this one last night? I just don’t wanna ruin my mood.s

Anyway, the story goes this way. As I was waiting for a buddy whose fitting stuffs in the dressing room I saw these sales ladies gathered around chatting and one was their supervisor. As to why I’m confident that she was? Well she was wearing a more identifiable uniform. I might be wrong but for sure she’s a notch higher in terms of category compared to those folks around her..
