jollibee mango. im having one of my late lunches here. today, i'm having burger steak with "sagbot" as sidedish. i like the rice a lot. i'll probably have another one tomorrow. he-he.

i'm at a corner, fave spot, nearest to the glass wall. just about a meter from me is a girl. cute one. i always see her when i'm here. 5 years old, or older. i dunno. btw, she's selling sampaguita. i think shes the same girl who sold us, i was with four others, a month ago or so, while we were eating larang (and some other street food) near robi.

anyway, she's clean. so not like the typical kids in the streets. i once saw her, during my other visits at this resto, wearing a pair of clean rubber shoes. today, she is wearing a pair of topsiders, with raffled socks (however you call them) in them. it's already late and shes still there. wherever her mom is..

and oh, she's not begging. she may look at me from time to time. but she never extends a hand to me, to beg. but if she ever does, i'm actually prepared to buy her the same food i'm eating. just 39. i'm nice today. he-he. but she never does. it's almost 12, and i'm out.

Barack Obama

i was one of those many Filipino people who stayed glued to the tv set the entire night to witness the 44th American President to be sworn in to office. that was actually the first time i watched an inauguration of a foreign leader, along with millions of other non-American citizens all over the world. sometimes, i helps being an insomniac. lol!

studio 23 gave a live coverage of the event, plus factual views and analysis of the historic ceremony from the anchors. well, except for ces drilon. with her stupid commentaries and questions, she was not helping the show at all. glad she left before the real event.

anyway, i already mentioned Obama in my march 2008 post. that was quite a long time ago. now he is the president of the most powerful country in the world.

with this new vigor America has now that it just welcomed its new leader without protest, it is possible change will happen, like Obama promised. that's america.

and this is the Philippines:

Hate Me...Not!

I don't know if I'm lovable. If anything, I'm hateable. lol! It could be true, I really don't know. In more than one occasion though, I've overheard my mother telling her friends I'm nice, but that is my mother there talking about her eldest. Like, she could tell the world I'm pretty too. Hahaha! Well, I'm bad. I'm hated too. Our city mayor hates me, he does not even talk to me. He actually loathes me. lol! In college, our head doctor just did not want to be in the same place with me. I had no idea why. We met again last December, and from that meeting, it was still obvious that the feeling was the same. FYI, I did not touch her hair or whatsoever. I don't care, she's too old to be my friend. Ha-ha! My college teacher, too, he made me third in his "enemy list." Seriously.

In our neighborhood, there's an entire family there that just hates me and my guts! But I still keep coming to their place despite that. Wahahaha...Speaking of guts! And at the office, I'm still not talking to my boss, and some people. The boss may still hate me after that long time ago incident (so the feeling is mutual), while those some people...I just stopped talking to them. It's better that way, I think. I'm not guilty or something, bec first and foremost I didn't do anything to any of them. Or most probably, I might have done something to them, I just did not know it. Quite logical. lol! So okay, I'm obnoxious. And here is probably the manifestation of my being it:

Published in Banat News last Monday, this is an excerpt of what VATSKI had said there: "Mao ni karon ang atong bantayan, sa GMA pa ni'ng si Angel, gitarong gyud ni siya og da bisan pa og way ayo ni siya ngamoarte, maayo la'g posing-posing. Tan-awon ta ni ron kung mo-click pa ba ni'ng iyang pacute-cute sa ABS-CBN, ug kana iyang gayaya nga tinabian, tan-awon nato og di ba na siya atakehon og saway! Pero human na ni nga issue, naka-move on na ang GMA, gani pwerte naning layoa karong panahona, nga si Marian Rivera na ang nag-una niini nga bituon. Ug klaro kaayo nga layo ra kaayo si Angel kang Marian, pipila pa lang gud ka semana sukad niguwa kini as "Marimar" nisikat na'ng dayun, ug kun arte ug hitsura lay hisgutan, mura'g katabang rani niya si Angel."

Here are some of the reactions: (text messages are truncated)
