(a work of fiction) After many years of being friends, and being each other’s half, Paz is having a difficult time now understanding Enrico’s fits of temper. Sometimes she feels guilty if the fault is with her keeping an eye on the many minor things around the household. She gets irritated by his constant whining about his unemployment. It almost gets to the brim when he raises his voice about his inadequacy to assist...
a b c d e f Tigra (f), the matriarch, is getting senile these days. There are times she would be running wild around the house playing with Ursula(d), her grand’kitten’. Ursula (d), confused perhaps, would run bananas,too, then later, when tired, breastfeed from grandma’s breasts. She is not a baby anymore but a feline coming of age. Really confused. Ursula(d) does not suckle from Karen(e) anymore. You might ask why. Because Karen(e) had...
I always keep files of funny emails from friends and acquaintances. This one sure cracked me up. It was sent last September, 2004 with the intention to make me smile. I didn’t only smile. I was reminded of this also because of a post by jepoi and TK’s answer to the recent meme. Here goes… BRA TYPES. What Religion is Your Bra? A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy’s and shyly...

Unlike my previous post about the Pacman’s 2005 bout, I salute Manny Pacquiao for a job well done with the results of last Sunday’s match. As always, this homegrown man from General Santos City brought again pride, honor and glory to the Philippines. Even if his counterparts reject the idea, it is our Manny Pacquiao who always draws the crowd during fights. He is the one most awaited and confidently believed that will win...

Kay asked me once, “Ma, bakit madalas kong marinig na may si-nalvage? Di ba ang meaning ng salvage is to save o di kaya to rescue? (Ma, why do I often hear that a person was salvaged? Isn’t it that the meaning of salvage is to save or rescue?)” Come to think of it, I even read from a tabloid newspaper a headline that goes like “Isang Salvage Victim, Natagpuan” (Salvage Victim, Found). It...
These three are the best examples of people with positive outlook in life… Be thou the rainbow to the storms of life!The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,And tints to-morrow with prophetic ray! Lord Byron (1788 – 1824)British poet.
What an early greeting for us last Friday morning last week… A jerk was crossing the intersection of the street to Balintawak market and Kaingin Road together with his companions. He was walking slowly in the middle of the street like he was having a good time and mooning. Papsie had no option but to beep. They were a series of beeps impossible not to notice but the creature of illogicality went walking like...
I was brought to the hospital yesterday noon. The alarm of what I was feeling prompted me to ask Papsie to fetch me from work and bring me to the hospital. This was after the company nurse checked my BP which was 150/100. The fact that it’s gone high and I feel drowsy and my shoulders felt like there were weights on it probably caused it to rise more. Papsie chose Capitol Medical Center...
