events and happenings

On The Arroyo Hullabaloo

I have not been watching the news recently. When it is already airing, I would transfer the channel to Disney Junior and let Ayex watch cartoons. It helps me feed her dinner smoothly and saves me from hearing lots of negative stuff happening in this country.

That was why, when I read a friend’s tweet about the happening in NAIA, I thought she was referring to a personal experience. I felt stupid after reading the news online. x(

Being a human, I feel that somewhere, she should be allowed to be treated for her medical condition. If claims are true that she can be treated right here, then I think she should not be allowed to travel elsewhere. Going outside the country, specially to countries where Philippines does not have any existing extradition treaties could be a sign of fleeing.

Grabe, kung balak pa nilang tumakas, talagang wala na lang ata silang kaluluwa. Ganyan na ang dinadanas nila, nagkakasakit, hindi pa rin nagbabagong buhay. Kahit bigyan sila ni taga-bantay ng 100 days, sure ako, kulang yun para ituwid nila ang mga mali nila. Ang sa akin lang, time to fear death and start changing ways.

For the government, I pray that they file the cases ASAP to stop this drama.

In Time for Thanksgiving

My Tito Louie, mama’s youngest brother, is leaving for Guam a couple of days from now. Finally, his petition papers came down from the embassy after, uhm, 10 years, I think. He has been really busy the past months fixing his papers and we are all glad that all his hard work will finally pay off.

We had a simple gathering last Saturday as his going away party. There were not so many of us, just the usual relatives who come in any get together that we organize. Still, everyone had fun. There were stories on how each of us are doing, there was singing on the karaoke, there was drinking and eating, of course. My Tita-Lolas kept on telling my tito advices on what he should do when he get there, which I am sure he has planned for already. The younger ones, they kept on telling Tito what they want for Christmas. Hahaha! One of the cousins told Tito he wants a new sound system, like an avr-1912. As for me, I just want him to have a safe landing there. Chos. LOL.

We had to leave ahead of everyone else because we do not have a car and I have two girls in tow. But this mama vows to learn how to drive soon!

Garfield Runner’s Cup

I have been eyeing on a fun run where my whole family can go. Many have passed and we have not had our first. I hope this time around, we can participate. Ayex will surely be delighted because she has unleashed her running self. She likes running outside with the other kids and it makes her really tired at night.

I got this from my email and I thought, moms out there could make this a bonding time for the whole family.
