sorry na pow

this is hard, i swear. pero sige nalang, in the name of Christmas i.am.doing.it. *smile*

this year isn't that good for me, well, in terms of relationships and the like. broke up with a few friends, snapped out here and there, and killed some along the way. now, i'd like to center this post on, err, my bosses that i had run-ins sometime not so long ago (see 2 entries around May this year). firstly, to my GM. i swear, i had bouts of fever, figuratively though, during those times when i knew i hit him hard (judging from people's reax) by those two postings, which miraculously got to his desk (thanks to those well-meaning people. don't worry, i know your cruel intention and it bviously paid well. no sarcasm intended). my friends know the last thing i would do is to hurt someone's feelings, but i unintentionally did just that to him, the person (of all people) i looked up to and admired big time bec of his down-to-earth attitude. i was really crazy to have said there how i hated him (no please, i dont want to mention how it happened) when all i was supposed to say was, i totally disagreed with what he allowed to happen (things he had full control of had he made the right decision). you don't actually hate the sinner but the sin (just a borrowed line sir). i know i should not have meddled with their decision, pero i did and i don't regret it in any way. i just feel sorry for the people i have hurt in my trying to help a friend. so sorry na, it's Christmas - a season of love and forgiving. and i, here, have forgotten all that has to be forgotten. and to my eic, well, all that has been said and done. and yeah, peace to you, too. i swear, i don't hold grudge, i just don't forget things sooo damn easily. but never will i hate. never! siguro, i stop talking to you people, pero it doesn't mean i hate you. i just stop talking, and that's all. even to my former close friend/workmate who once accused me of a lot of things, i have never actually hated her for doing that. i just stop talking, 'cause there's no reason for me to hang around with people who do not like me. kung ayaw mo, 'wag mo! i live by that cliche.

anyway, that friend metioned in my May posts is now happy with her new career outside the country. it's a blessing, really. and i'm happy that she found a new life there. i just wish it'd stay that way.

i may have missed something, but the main thing is i am saying my sorry. i think that settles it. thank you, and you can now print this post and pass it around. *whew*

a bottle of beer please. :D

The Winner

All smiles. TF Editorial pips, the grand champion of the Christmas presentation held last Saturday at Parklane International Hotel. Naks! mura'g apil! tig ra diay to. tig-pakpak ug tig-patukar sa music. hehe

terrorizing under the rain

and what did i get? rain-soaked pants and dirty feet. i was wearing flip flops that Saturday morning when i came to the firing range. i love flip flops, and guns too (i was using 9mm). hahaha! but was it all worth it!!!

this is sugar-free no more

INQ7's headline today: Arroyo: Stop Con-ass now
whew! so what happens now? ha!

Our reps, well, majority of them, are forcing to convene a constituent assembly minus the Senate so they could go ahead changing the Constitution. The Senate, for its part, is set to petition this move--that would mean postponing next year's elections, thereby extending the terms of the elected officials by six months, or up to November. I don't know if I should be glad of Arroyo's intervention (well, this is her idea in the first place, and it's obvious it's not gaining that much support from most sectors). I want the Constitution changed, but I want it done systematically and with utmost care. I don't fully understand this change of government they are suggesting, yet I'm open for it. On the one hand, though, I still want the midterm elections in May to push through. But whatever I want, please, let us be all kind to our nation. This is our very own Constitution we are talking about. We will all be dead if we mess it up.

So the ASEAN Summit has been postponed. Rescheduled in January 2 siguro. Most definitely before the Sinulog. Another major preparation to make. Ghad, how I wanted it to be over and done with. Pero si Seniang kasi eh, wrong timing! OR is it really bec of the typhoon? But then again, safety (and security) must come first. As of this writing, Seniang is spotted tearing up Boracay Island and Romblon after leaving one dead in Leyte. Grrr, umalis ka pa!!!

But the most important thing is, tuloy ang Pasko no matter what. Yo! I need lots of cash for the children's party. Last year they were more than 100 kids, and we are expecting 20 more this year. Will I be sad?? Nopez, I will work hard. Now, donations plssss.

not really angry

Yesterday's TF's Nation page headline reads: "Miriam out of the race for SC chief"

I was like, why? She was the best bet for the position. Well, the rest, as they say, are traditional justices, etc. etc...Boooring...

My bet is really a fayter! She said these very words before the Senate during her 30-minute privilege speech, well, as quoted by TF and I requote: "I am not angry, Mr. President. I am irate! I am furious! I am foaming at the mouth. I am hitting the roof! I am homicidal. I am suicidal! I am ballistic!"

But she was okay afterwards and even managed to say, she was not interested in being named as chief justice "if I am going to be surrounded by idiots."

And, she ended her speech by moving to scrap the judiciary fund.

BWAHAHAHA! I just love this woman!

sweating out

sweating out these days is soo easy, thanks to the mild El Niño. you just stay in the house minus the aircon or the fan and you all melt like a big chunk of ice being hurled into the Sahara. but that's a bad way to let lose toxins from your body.

here's my way ;)

play badminton! but you have to have a badminton racket first. not like this friend of mine, who has become like me--BIG--for the last couple of months and decided, finally, to burn some fats by playing badminton, and she had no rackets! this sports, according to her, is the best exercise in the whole world. k payn!

so we bought a pair of rackets (as i decided to join her game) and some shuttlecocks, of course, a month ago. and played when we want to. yeah, lazy asses! but this evening, we played more than two hours in the street. i think i lose some calories from that game, and gained them back and more when we took our break and gulped a bottle of coke each, and another one when i got home. well, we just love our coca-cola bodies. coke litro woi! ha ha!
