Best profession yet!

April 7, 2008

I must admit, I am immensely enjoying life as a wife and as a homemaker.

There was a time in my life when I thought I wasn’t cut out for this kind of life, homemaking sounded a little too boring, too insignificant, too unimportant, too small, too ordinary, too outdated… I once felt, and decided that it wasn’t me.

I thought managing a career is a lot more fun, a lot more challenging, a lot more significant and I decided that being a career woman is what today’s empowered woman should be… In power suits, in high heeled patent leather shoes, carrying monogrammed handbags, driving their own expensive car, heading conferences, living fast-paced lives, like a full twenty four hours isn’t enough to get things done…Glamorous! Yeah, the glamour is all too enticing…

Wiwannastarhavinahbeybeeh!

March 26, 2008

After the wedding, the honeymoon, the weekend dates and being constantly a twosome, Warren and I finally reached that point where we are already thinking about getting pregnant. Uh-huh, you read it right. PREGNANT. Wiwannastarhavinahbeybeeh! (spoken in a childlike manner for emphasis) Warren is not oblivious to the fact that I might not be able to give him a child. You see, I was with a man for eight years and not once did I get pregnant, so before our wedding I told Warren about the possibility of my being infertile. He would always display a very positive attitude towards this and there were times I would wish for myself to feel the same way.

Baked Mac In A Jiffy

March 25, 2008

Due to the long weekend, my Monday this week was hectic and my brain was in its unusual disarrayed state. It was already past 6:30PM when I remembered we had to eat dinner, somehow. Screaming from behind my laptop in the middle of the kitchen, I asked Warren what he wants to have along with the chicken lollipops. I volunteered the information about the pasta that I have in stock.
“Uhm, may pang-baked macaroni ka di ba?”he asked.
Baked macaroni is it then! But wait, I don’t have ground meat here, and it’s too late to go to the market now… BUT, I need to make the baked mac happen no matter what. And I need to have it served in thirty minutes.
Was I able to pull it off?

Do you worship carved images?

March 19, 2008

The other night, I was doing my usual Bible reading when verses 4 to 6 of Exodus 20 hit me like an avalanche. It said:
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
Memories of my Catholic days came back to me in a flash. I remembered those days I’d kneel and bow my head in fervent prayer in front of the statue of the Santo Nino, the Virgin Mary and the crucifix - these are all CARVED IMAGES!

Woman sits on boyfriend’s toilet for 2 years

March 15, 2008

I’ve heard so many stories of people who are stuck in some other odd places.– Yes people can be stuck on a traffic, on a line; on your car, whatever…I myself experienced being stranded on an airline because I missed my flight but this story is very unlikely among all other incident of being standed or stuck…
here’s that story:

Don’t Judge her. She’s not a book.

March 12, 2008

Honestly, I was really irritated when I saw it on live television. Bb. Pilipinas Candidate Janina San Miguel making a whole fool out of herself damaging her school’s pride, by having the most horrifying answer to one of the simplest questions.

It’s not the English, I can take that.

It’s how she treated the question. She’s a Broadcast Communication student from the University of the East. I was more shocked when I heard that. The most insulting and unprofessional thing she did was she reasoned out that she’s seventeen and it was her first time in the Binibining Pilipinas.

Totally unprofessional.

With that aside. I really should congratulate her for her guts, and taking it out as a woman. Who knows? She might be better next time and this incident will be nothing but a memory…. an unforgettable one.

I guess this is another test to our fellow noypi people out there… Which is it: Support of Sipot?!

Let’s just wish that she doesn’t do that in Miss World 2008 at Kiev, Ukraine.

Get Your Message Across Clearly, Whether You’re a Blogger or a Beauty Queen

March 12, 2008

For many of us, communicating in English is not just an option but a requirement. Is it because more people can understand us when we speak that way? Or is it because we appear to be more intelligent and more successful?

Whether you’re writing a blog post or answering a question in the Binibining Pilipinas pageant, it is more important that what you say makes sense. Continue reading the whole post…

Janina San Miguel: A Pitiful Sight, Nonetheless

March 11, 2008

I just got home from a weekend trip to Pampanga when I logged in to my yahoo messenger and my friend, Sheena, immediately asked me if I’ve seen the BB. Pilipinas pageant.
I did not watch the pageant, actually, I did not even realize that it was Bb. Pilipinas season already. Anyway, she showed me a clip of this young candidate and I was mortified beyond imagination at what I saw, errr, I mean heard.
I haven’t done my usual bloghopping yet so I am not even sure if there were already posts on this topic. Anyway, here is the aforementioned video:

The Filipina Doctor: Coming Full Circle

March 11, 2008

Centuries ago, the babaylan served as seer and sage, healer and community “miracle-worker.” They held an important and influential role in pre-Christian Filipino society as the primary mediator between the spirit world and the human world. While the role of a babaylan was open to both male and female, most babaylans from the pre-Hispanic era were female. These women healers were both revered and well-respected, and their value to their community well-recognized.

Today, after a long and arduous struggle, Filipino women in medicine have finally come into their own. Like their babaylan counterparts, the Filipina doctor has once more reclaimed her role in modern Filipino society both as healer and a force to be reckoned with.

My Jealous God

March 7, 2008

I grew up “knowing” God.
Growing up in a Catholic setting, I was practically spoon-fed with stories of God’s overflowing love for mankind, his merciful nature, his kindness, patience for sinners, tolerance for man’s sinful nature, his loving ways and his pure heart.

So, just imagine my shock and utter disbelief when, at age 31, I was being “indoctrinated” into believing that my God is a jealous God and a God full of wrath for man because of man’s sinful nature. God, a jealous God?

Bip Braklee’

March 5, 2008

One of Warren’s favorite dishes is beef brocolli.
Incidentally, brocolli is the only green thing I can eat with gusto.
Unfortunately, it is also the only thing I could not cook properly… I can cook paella, arroz valenciana, menudo, afritada, sinigang, sisig, pinakbet, chop suey - whatever, anything, everything, except beef brocolli. It’s either the florettes get overcooked and turn yellowy brown and limp or the beef isn’t tender enough to the teeth.
Until today that is.

Cecilia Cheung Scandal

February 26, 2008

Just when you thought everyone was innocent, a sex scandal would pop from nowhere. It’s unfortunate that one of the victim on this latest sex scandal is my longtime crush, Cecilia Cheung. Apparently, these scandalous photos were taken by Edison Chen in 2005, stored on a laptop, and “stolen” by the people who repaired the laptop.

Video: Bill Clinton & Obama Confronts Anti-Abortion Crowd

February 20, 2008

Anti-abortion hecklers disrupted the speeches of Pro-choice Clinton and Obama. See how they responded:
Video: Bill Clinton & Obama Confronts Anti-Abortion Crowd

Transcript:

“I gave you the answer. We disagree with you, you wanna criminalize women and their doctors and we disagree… I reduced abortion… Tell the truth, tell the truth… If you were really pro-life, if you were really pro-life, you would want to put every doctor and every mother as an accessory to murder in prison. And you won’t say you wanna do that because you know that because you know that you wouldn’t have a lick of political support.”
