What is love?
July 5, 2008
I have never found it hard to define love before. Now, I have been tagged by Joni to talk about something I should be very very much familiar with. The tag instructs to define love without the use of cliches and frankly I don’t like cliches. And because I want to be creative, I will use the cliches to define what love is NOT (and then maybe make it up by giving my bit on my love).

My Birthday Wishlist for 2008
July 3, 2008
At last, it’s already July - the month that’s usually filled with lots of class suspensions due to strong typhoons (and perhaps, the president’s <abbr title=”State of the Nation Address”>SONA</abbr> again?).
As always, it’s time to renew my birthday wishlist for this year too. Here it goes:

What’s in a Name?
June 29, 2008
I had to renew my Drivers’ License yesterday. It will be expiring this weekend *hint hint*. Good thing my dad brought me to LTO Aguinaldo/Cubao where there are significantly less people, cars and fixers. I abhor bureaucracy and its inefficiency and a crowded office makes it worse. I passed time waiting for my turnS (with an S because you have to wait for your turn several times as you have to go through several windows for processing, verification, cashier, 2 pictures and signatures, drug test and medical examinations etc. etc.) watching the Lakers-Celtics game (Go Celtics!).
Raising your children
June 29, 2008
I don’t believe that parenting is something that you learn by going to a school that teaches you how to do it. After all, who would be our teachers? I am not sure anyone can say they are the ultimate expert in parenting to qualify as a teacher of the subject. Its not like its Math or English where no matter how much the earth moves 1 + 1 will always be 2 and nouns will always be different from pronouns. In life, one’s parenting method may not necessarily work for one or even all.
Motivational Monday with Baddie #8: A 7-Dirty-Word Salute to George Carlin
June 24, 2008

Happy Birthday Mom!
June 24, 2008
Yesterday was my mom’s 60th birthday. I got so worried about her when my sister sent a SMS message telling that she is ill. I called her up to greet her and to have a long chat with her. I think we chatted for about four minutes then she passed the cell phone to my father. My mom was still stuttering because of her medication. She sounded weak and helpless. I hope she gets well soon. Arghh…I still feel guilty that I left too soon. I am somewhat secured that she is being taken care of since my other sister just came home from London.

Say hello ang goodbye to the typhoon!!
It’s been twenty hours mula nung nawalan kami ng kuryente kahapon. Since 2am, the power’s out. (Shucks! walang TV, di makapagcharge, la pating internet! Ouch!)
Nagdadasal na akong sana magkakuryente na before or by seven pm. Haay…
It’s only 12pm pero mukhang 7pm na.
Para mawala ang boredom namin, nagyaya ang mommy ko na mag-scrabble habang nagpapalipas oras.
Hmph. La ako sa mood.

What Constitutes You
June 22, 2008
It has been a habit since we’ve been partners in school to go out and shop after we get our shy pays. We can actually used it all up in one mall visit. There’s food, clothes, “unnecessary” things and more food tripping.
Then we decided to use some of our money to buy books. More deserving of our pays, I think. Thank God there’s Book Sale. You can find books as low as Ph30.00, like I did. I bought two hard bound books, one is for Php70.00 - Little Doors by Paul Di Filippo and After Dachau by Daniel Quinn for only Php30.00. A hundred bucks for two hard bound-used books (they’re clearly looked unused to me) is such a good deal to pass up.
I’m a one sitting reader. If and only if, I find the book really really interesting. There are stories that I can’t stop reading, and would only leave the book open to go to the bathroom or eat. And After Dachau is one of those worthy books for my time. My hundred buck purchase didn’t disappoint me at all. After Dachau is sucha good read if you’re into Reincarnation and English History. It is fictional and at the same time very informative on historical matters that dated back during 1920’s.
As it is.

I will be trying different things from now on. Things not including alcohol, nicotine, and partying. And spending my whole paycheck into empty things.
Like for example, useful and informative blogging. I have been trying to get into it for a long time now, I just can’t find the right timing and inspiration to actually do it. So what made me start now? Paid blogging. Fun right? Paid or not, I will still continue to blog.
For some blogging is a form of tension release, as well as mind therapy. When you have lots of things in mind, and you can’t stop fidgeting alone, you would always want to talk and say things aloud. Just for the sake of releasing it. The usual bigger problem on top of that is you don’t have anyone to talk to. No loved one to share it with, friends are all busy, or you’re a plain dead kid.. a loner.
I do that. Most of the time. Hell I do that everytime I blog. And often than not, I actually don’t care if someone reads and comments post after post. But I’m getting tired of my usual topics.. i mean topic.. myself. Boring. For most blog hoppers. Not for me. so it’s time to make a change.
From now on, I will keep my personal blogs in my multiply page, where most of my friends can annotate, and informative blogs here. Topics would vary from my passion: teaching to whatnots like grass or rain. Whatever that can be useful to any form of creature who flies around the cyber world. Music, movies, books, people, happenings. My grammar isn’t at all grand, but I learned English enough during my school years, so pardon me if I lack a little in my communication skills. I ask of you now for a little encouragement and appreciation that a small blogger like me can be an instrument to cater to whatever needs bloggers and non-bloggers have. For now, let’s just leave this blog as it is. An intoduction.
Thank you.

Ramblings of a tired mom
June 18, 2008
My desire to become a SAHM has been the strongest today (and for the past few weeks) than ever before. I guess that is why work has not been too exciting lately. Well scratch that. Work has actually been very exciting but my passion has been dulled by physical and mental stress that all the action just flew over my head. So I watch my kids instead. I watch with longing as every second spent apart while I am at the office is magnified a million times and manifested by my floating and distracted mind.

The CSR that Gives Street Children the Gift of Music
June 11, 2008
When Nokia Philippines, sent us an invite for Nokia ACTS (Artists Coming Together to Serve), I just had to come despite its Sunday afternoon schedule. Nokia ACTS is a collaboration between Nokia Philippines and the talented minds behind Rock Ed Philippines. It has built on the latter’s Project VIA (Volunteers Initiative for the Arts) whose primary goal is to teach underprivileged children how to either play musical instruments or train for voice via music camps.
“Through this program, we hope to make an impact in the lives of the children by giving them a chance to excel in something and a chance at a future profession,” says William Hamilton-Whyte, General Manager, Nokia Philippines. “We are glad to have partnered with Rock Ed Philippines who are very passionate in their belief that we should ‘educate to end poverty’.”

Open Comments Workgroup - Now Online
June 9, 2008
If you are a blogger, a website owner, or a commenter, you may have notice how comments are fragmented since Web 1.0 and how it gets even more fragmented today - Web 2.0. Discussions about defragmenting Comments sparked up in the Comments space and the Blogosphere these past few months, especially with the growing popularity of services like Disqus, Intense Debate, and well the two most pointed-out fragmenter today - Shyftr and FriendFeed (to which I’ve said, it has been like that since Web 1.0).

Newscope That Trip
June 9, 2008
This is under: internet finds, media
Thank goodness to Internet, I can tell everybody and pay my respects for the death of Rudy Fernandez.
I’m not really a fan, but he has a great resume and everything, Lorna Tolentino is lucky!
The fact that it literally took me a click to see the shocking news was a mere fantasy in the olden times when gossip mongers were the source of the fresh and shocking news. Internet really is great.
But being here in Hawai’i wherein you have to apply for a cable to get the news in the Philippines, is a little troublesome and lowers my chances of getting the latest stories.
Not only there’s difference if distance, there’s also time zone! Bummer. (BLOG ENTRY ENDS HERE)
A day in the life of a working mom
June 7, 2008
The schedule shown depicts a normal day… without issues or conflicts that need to be addressed. These are the days when everyone is happy and agreeable and all your gadgets and home appliances are working. Imagine what happens when your kid has a stomach ache or one has a tantrum… or your husband is suddenly sick and cannot drive or when work needs you on site past 5:30PM.
NBI ID Card - de facto National ID
June 7, 2008
The NBI ID Card is now the most recommended and honoured Identification Card in the Philippines, with banks leading this “practice”, making it a de facto National ID. What is this NBI ID Card anyway? Is it really the National ID in practice? Will it become the National ID by law? Is it ready?

Realization
June 6, 2008
Yesterday, we (together with my mom and Floyd again) went to Las Piñas Lying in Center. I’m not really sure why of all places but I think we need a referral letter from one of the doctors there in order for us to use my mom’s green card. Well, a green card is somewhat similar to philhealth/medicare, which can give us up to PHP25,000 (I think). It’ll be a great help definitely.
We arrived there around 8 in the morning and it opened up around 9:30. Honestly, I was really irritated from the start since I know Lying Ins are for pregnant women - I’m not even pregnant and what worse is that I’m sick. Plus, I thought that they will check me up again but it turned out that all we really need is their signatures! :b-boiling:
When we entered the doctors area and when my mom told them what we need, the doctors and the staff got a little confused (I’m not really sure what happened!) and somewhat the transaction (or what ever you call it) got messed up. Since I was kind of irritated from the beginning I threw out a tantrum (I don’t really know why I did that) and then a woman doctor suprisingly said to me in such a negative/sarcastic tone (in front of everyone): Hija, pipirmahan naman namin yan kaya wag ka nang sumimangot. Kahapon ka pa nakasimangot! (Hey! We will sign that so stop frowning! You have that kind of face since yesterday.) (@_@) Of course, I quiet down, I was shocked! Read the rest of this entry here »

In line with ABS-CBN’s 55th Year Anniversary and ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc.’s (AFI) 10 years of expert, effective, life-changing public service has now brought altruism to a whole new level.
