Pinay Scandal… The Issue
Don’t you just hate it when you see men, old and young alike, ogling at those pirated CDs and DVDs scattered on sidewalks and malls?
I get a sense of weariness too when a new scandal hits the news because for sure, throngs of men will scour the web within the very next hour in hopes of being one of the firsts to see the video.
It is just disappointing to see how men jump at the next opportunity of getting copies of these materials without even consulting their morals and their conscience. I mean, come on, pinagpipiyestahan ninyo yung babae, yung kawawang babae whose only mistake probably was that she fell for a cheap idiot who happens to find thrill in videotaping his sex acts with women. Gross.
The Stillwater Experience
The Husband and I celebrated our 8th year anniversary yesterday. This time, we opted to celebrate it differently by having our own “two-gether” time. The past years, we celebrated with our kids, I usually cook something special for dinner and they (Husband and kids) exert extra effort not to create a stressful environment to make the day special. We also have our own traditional gift-giving, we troop to the mall together and once there, we go our separate ways and hunt for the best gift our money can buy. Sometimes, they can be expensive gifts, other times, just pretty knick-knacks we both can use and not too damaging to the pockets.
This year, though, we decided to pamper ourselves…(continue reading here…)
That New iPod Nano Ad
If you’ve seen the latest iPod Nano commercial and heard the raspy voice singing “1,2,3,4 tell me that you love me more…”, then maybe you are one of those who hit the search engines lately in search of the name behind the song.

Post 9/11 Entry: My ramblings on the tragedy
I was at home that night sending silly text messages to my sister when she sent me this message in response to my silly one:
“Nananu ka? Eka manalbeng news? Muret, manalbe kang CNN, mikakagyera na bugok!”
I could not even remember clearly what was going though my mind at that moment, all I know now was that I was worried of how far and how wide that tragedy could extend in a matter of days. I know that being the most powerful country, the US government only has to push a button and World War III will break out…
Who Isn’t Guilty?
Former matinee idol and Philippine president Joseph Ejercito Estrada was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of plunder by the Sandiganbayan.
The verdict elicited varied responses and reactions from different social classes in the country, those who are pro-Erap displayed angst and accused the current administration of promising the tribunal handsome positions in the government in exchange of the verdict. Those who were anti-Erap are contented and believes that the verdict only showed that the present judiciary system in the country still serves its purpose.
My First Crush
Do you have bittersweet memories of times gone by? I’m sure you do. We all do.
Do you remember how fancifully you scribbled his name at the back of your notebook? How about screaming your lungs out each time he’d pass by the hall where you usually hang out? And how your heart melted whenever he’d smile at you? Or how about listening to a particular song over and over just because that song was what was playing on the radio when you rode the jeepney and he happened to be on the same ride with you?
7.5% my big, fat a$$
I did not want to spoil my blog by posting political entries, but this one is something that definitely must be addressed by an ordinary citizen if only for the sheer purpose of ranting and raving since I know for a fact that whatever I type in here will be moot and academic because the government decided it is wiser to be deaf and blind to the woes of the public they are supposed to be rendering service to.
The President recently reported an increase in the country’s GDP or Gross Domestic Product, saying it leaped by 7.5 %, thus claiming that the country is fast achieving economic stability and that her administration is successful in its economic programs.
Of course it was expected that along with such news comes people from all walks of life commenting on Mrs. Arroyo’s report. I even saw a coconut vendor being interviewed by ABS-CBN TV Patrol, he was asked to comment and all he said was he cannot say for sure if indeed the country’s economic conditions are improving for he still sells coconut juice along the streets of the metro, something that he has been doing since who knows when.
And then here comes Lakas-CMD Rep. Prospero Nograles of Davao City, allegedly Arroyo’s die-hard fan, este, staunch political ally, who, without batting an eyelash decided that the people simply likes to criticize the residents of Malacanang for they (the people) do not believe in economic figures.
My big, fat a$$.
Ten things I want to say
Most of us need to say something to someone, but for one reason or another, we just couldn’t find the strength to do it. Perhaps we just aren’t that expressive or even if we are, we are not quite sure how the person we’re saying it to will react. I, too, have quite a lot to say to the most important people in my life and although I see them everyday, I don’t really tell them what’s in my heart. Well, there isn’t really any reason not to, but I just don’t. Maybe, someday, but not today…

Life and Work Balance : HTH?
I am a work at home mom. I have an online job that is financially satisfying and allows me the freedom to work in tank tops, shorts and flip-flops. It should be good enough, right?
(I can hear husband now saying : Right, Asawa. I’m beside you pa palagi, we can sneak out during your break and har har har!)
Well, actually it should be more than good enough. However, when your office is just a few steps away from a charming and mischievous three-year old, your man’s loving arms, the pets, the TV, the exercise machine and the so many other things that can cause distraction, not to mention a troop of “outside forces” like unexpected visits from friends or worst, the utility service crew (electric, phone, water, dsl, etc), you just sometimes lose yourself in the struggle for a healthy life and work balance.
Who is Malu Fernandez Part II
This post is in relation to my prior blog entitled Who Is Malu Fernandez?.
Indeed, this Malu Fernandez, the one whose name is clouded with controversies, and rightly so, for her insensitivity and bigotry, is not a daughter of my beloved adopted city. Thank God for that!
