I have alot of self-esteem, which is amazing. Cause I am probably somebody who wouldn't necessarily have alot of self-esteem... As I am considered a Minority.
Blogging had been really helpful to me. I get to release my thoughts and at the same time I am earning some extra cash!
I don’t earn that much from blogging…, But you know what?
I have been paying my rent and some bills with blogging… Innit great?

Silly Sally this is not taken from some refugee camp in Darfur!
And they are not waiting for their daily ration at some soup kitchen, they line up here waiting for the monks to come up so they could give their offerings.
Last Sunday we went to the Temple (Wat Mongkoltepmunee - very nice temple!), she wanted to visit temple cause her birthday is coming up…
This is my second time at this temple. The vicinity is very big and is really well taken care of. Anyhow, we was [I think it was just me…]
wondering while driving by at the temple we saw alot of people lining up and carrying silver bowls whatever you call that, and waiting for the monks.
[She forgot that, that day it’s…. And it only happens once or twice a year] Mahal what kind of Buddhist are you! How dare you!!! LOL - of course I just said it to myself, cause if I say it out loud malamang pihado ramble na naman to.
Since it only happens once or twice a year. We decided to go out and buy something to give out to the monks. [Drove back and forth, trying to look for some stores selling some canned goods and the like. We have to give/buy something that would not turn bad that easily.] I like experiencing new things, it’s fun. I get to see alot of people and learn some new stuffs.
Inside the temple.
These monks eat together after that service and after they ate there is a service again.
I remember - During my first time here, we were so in a hurry that we don’t have time anymore to eat our breakfast, she doesn’t want to be late. Breakfast is my most important meal! It’s okay for me to skip lunch and dinner, but breakfast hell no! [Mainit ang ulo ko pag wala akong almusal!] So habang nakain sila naglalaway talaga ako noong time na yon. Iilan lang silang nakain that time tapos yong pagkain na nakahain sa kanila eh kala mo ba eh handa sa Pasko at isang batalyon ang imbitado! So I asked her, *people, forgive my ignorace please*… Mahal, they ate too much, it looks like they never eaten before. Dala na din ng inggit ko, takam na takam na kasi ako. Yon pala these monks, they only eat once a day and that’s during midday. Eh malamang kung once a day mo lang din ako papakainin malamang isasama ko na doon ang Hannukah, Rosh Ha-Shanah, Shabbath at Bar Mitzva ko… Isang kainian lang o diba!
So where was I?
Okay at the temple still.
After we gave the offering, we went inside to pay respect and head out again to join other people to eat. It was a feast. The food was over flowing, not just food but very good Thai food I had never imagine.
[We just keep going back and forth inside the temple and whenever we go back, we have to remove our shoes of course. Uhggg, I have to tie and untie my shoe lace for over 10 times lol.]
Then we have to go around the temple while praying.
She kept telling me that I don’t have to do whatever she is doing, cause am not Buddhist! I just don’t want to look stupid there and just walk not putting my hands together. If I can’t do what she’s and everybody’s doing then am better off waiting at some corner, Right? [Girl, we are not doing clubbing this early. We are going at the Temple and pray!] Look at what she’s wearing, kala mo eh saang bar pupunta! Imberna, natalbugan na naman ako!
This is one of our issues (ooopsssie, it’s normal pala sa amin. ha ha ha) as a couple, being competitive to each other.
Outside the temple some lady putting money on the tree.

Last last week we went to Killadelphia Zoo, we just miss our beloved siblings… I have been living here in the area for quite sometime now and to be honest that was my first visit there, ever! [If not for Manat! I just don’t find the reason going there… Sayang ang pera lol.]
Ohhh… See that? Humongous right? He he he
Such cuties aren’t they?
Of course after that LQ (L**** Quarrel) it’s time for making up… [Ito talagang si Mando, talaga namang Mando-dog-style!!!]
It looks like a Tarsier… But not it’s not, just see how big this bad boy is.
I really find this couple very cute and interesting! They look like an Ewok.
[I like BIG butts and I cannot lie…] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Not sure what is this… Naligaw ata, ungoy ang puntira namin eh…
Nagulat sa flash!
Awww, how sweet! [Parang kami ni Manat, pag tulog!]

Naka plano na ang buong weekend na ito para sa amin, ang daming plano at gustong gawin pero kulang na kulang sa oras. Original plan is to see SawIV this Saturday, but I just remembered something… Since it’s Halloween there’s something special going on at Mullica Hill - hay ride, haunted houses and the like so, I called her last night and told her that there are some change on our plan… She sound so excited thou, as if there is something to be excited about - kung alam lang nya ang planong kong itutulak ko sya sa bangin doon sa Mullica Hill bwahahahahh…
Last Monday while we were talking, I told her that… We need to practice our Taekwondo, it’s been awhile since both of us had our last practice and need to improve that kicking skills… Kaya sabi ko tara practice tayo, pwede bang tayo ang maging sparing partners? Payag naman sya at talaga naman daw she’ll kick my ass… (Talaga lang ha? Nakakatakot naman ata yon diba?) High Pink belter ata ako no! Para patas ang laban namin diba? Sports lang walang personalan!!!
At sa Linggo sa darating na matagal na naming na plano pero udlot ng udlot lagi eh yong mag rock climbing kami… Pang 3 a beses o 4 na beses na itong na po-postpone kesyo mag b-birthday daw sya sa isang Linggo at kung pwede daw eh magpunta na lang kami muna sa Temple at sumamba… (Okay sige… Madali naman akong kausap eh.) *Sayang, sabay snap ng fingers… tsk-tsk-tsk hindi ko sya maiihulog!*
Mahal ko si Manat walang duda, mahal kong patayin (hahaha)! Pero may sama lang ako ng loob kaya talagang ganito ako ngayon. Minsang kausap ko si Manat at nakaharap ang kaibigan ko, tila kala mo angel ang kausap ni Manat sa kabilang linya pero natirik ang mga mata noong mga panahong iyon na tila kala mo eh nasasaniban, at pagkababa ko ng phone. (Ang plastic ko talaga no? Sambit ko sa aking kaibigan. - Hindi ka plastic! TANGA KA! Yan ba naman ang isinagot sa akin ni Bactidol.)
Tama na, ayaw ko na, hindi na ako magiisip na maka get-even ako! Sa isang Linggo ipaghahanda ko sya dahil kaarawan nya. Magluluto ako ng Thai Food with a touch of Filipino o diba. Bibili ako ng cake, choclit cake dahil yan ang paborito nya, at palalagyan ko ng dinamita sa loob para tapos na ang lahat ng ito - achus!

Kita iintindihin at mamahalin? Hanggang mapagod na lang ba ang puso ko?
Ang nakaraan…
Noong Sabado ng gabi, ang isang maliit na pagtatalo ay nahantong sa sapakan. Hindi ko inaasahan na aabot na kami sa ganitong sitwasyon, ang magkasakitan ng pisikal. Masakit sa akin, ang masapak ng mahal ko ang gawin nya sa akin ang ganoong bagay, dahil ako hindi ko kayang saktan mapa-pisikal o emosyonal ang taong mahalaga sa akin. [Let alone physical pain… Yong emosyonal na lang diba? Yong mga salita na lang na nabitiwan.]
Galit na galit ang pakiramdam nya sa akin ng gabing iyon, na kala mo’y napakalaki ng nagawa kong kasalanan. Masama bang magselos? Pero ang aming maliit na pagtatalo ay hindi dahil sa selos na iyon kung di dahil sa isang salita o bagay na nasabi nya at pilit ko syang gustong ipaliwanag sa akin, nang bigla na lang syang naghumiyaw na kala mo eh hinila ang T… Tenga ho lol. *nanahimik ako sa aking asar, ang kending kinakain ko… kinain at pilit kong inilagay sa aking bibig at itinapon ang balat sa kalye…] Alam kong ayaw nya yan, at isa yan sa mga pangaasar ko sa kanya.
Ng bigla syang magpasyang uuwi na daw sya at maiwan akong magisa. Ipinilit ko ang gusto kong makapiling sya at hindi sya pauwiin. Sa kagustuhan kong iyon at pagpipigil sa kanya. Sapak ang inabot ko. [Isang suntok sa ulo, at isang suntok sa may kilay.] Hindi pa din papigil ang lola ko, at patuloy pa din ako sa pagkalma sa kanya at pagpigil. Nang maabutan na naman ako ng [Isa sa dibdib at isa sa braso.] Masakit ang gawan ka ng ganito. Dahil sa tanda kong ito, sa mga dati kong napagdaanan ni isa walang nakasakit at wala akong nasaktan.
Wala akong magawa kungdi tangapin ang mga pananakit na iyon at iiyak sya pagkatapos. [Bakit ko pinababayaan ang sarili ko sa ganitong relasyon, ano ba talagang gusto ko?] Sabihin ko mang okay na ako at wala ng sakit eh ako’y isang sinungaling! Dahil masakit sya… Masakit ang mga salita at sabayan pa ng pisikal. Wala man akong pasa o galos sa katawan ko, pero sa loob ko meron. Tanga ba ako? Bakit ko ito pinababayan na mangyari sa akin? Pagmamahal pa ba ito? Hindi ko alam…
Siguro nga martir ako at tanga, dahil andito pa din ako pagkatapos ng mga pangaalispustang iyan. Iintayin ko na lang sigurong mapagod at magsawa ako at mawalan ng pakiramdam, hanggang masabi ko ang mga katagang ayaw ko na talaga… Sa Iyo!
Galit ako, dahil hindi man lang nya ako bigyan ng kahihiyan, sa kasama ko dito sa bahay at sa mga kapitbahay namin. Hindi naman ako nakatira sa deaf and mute community eh. Para hindi marinig ang mga sigaw nya noong sandaling iyon, na kala mo eh sya ang inaagrabyado. Ayaw ko ng eskandalo sa totoo lang. Pero tila ata ang jowa ko eh isang botangera! Wala na akong pakialam kung may hiya man sya sa akin o wala. Sa kasama ko na lang at mga kapitbahay namin, hindi naman mala mansyon ang bahay namin dito at ektarya-ektarya ang pagitan ng bawat bahay eh. Kaya ano mang ingay rinig na rinig. At hindi naman sya dapit-hapon nangyari halos madaling araw na din naman.
(Medyo nakaganti ako noong Linggo ng umaga. Sinabunutan ko at tinampal ko. Pabiro pero nilakasan ko. Paano ba naman, umaabuso na sya no, sinakal pa nya ako mga 5 minutes right after ko magising.) Diba nga ang kasabihan, magbiro ka na sa lasing wag lang sa bagong gising! But that will never be enough, kahit pa gumanti at nakaganti ako… It’ll never be enough, ang sakit na aking nadarama ay hindi magbabago… Magpakailanman.

At least eight people were killed and 119 others were wounded when a powerful explosion rocked the Glorietta Mall in Makati City yesterday afternoon.
A powerful bomb exploded at around 1:20 pm at the parking area for delivery vehicles near the entrance of Glorietta 2 building, shattering the mall’s glass door entrances and damaging several vehicles in the vicinity.
Witnesses said the explosion appeared to have centered on an escalator which was near a cellphone repair shop.
Police investigators identified three of the fatalities who were killed on the spot as Janine Marcos, Alan dela Cruz and Nestor Perigrina.
Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Avelino I. Razon Jr., said that the explosion was “likely caused by a bomb” and not a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank.
Reynald A. Rosero, deputy chief of the Philippine Bomb Data Center, said the bomb used had highly explosive chemicals.
As this developed, police and military forces in Metro Manila were placed on red alert following the incident.
National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) director Geary Barias reported last night a bomb threat in three hospitals in Makati. The bomb threats were called in at around 7:30 p.m. last night to the Ospital ng Makati in Ayala, Ospital ng Makati in Rembo and the Makati Medical Center.
Razon ordered police commanders in Metro Manila to secure vital facilities such as the Light Railway Transit (LRT), Metro Rail Transit (MRT), communication facilities and other possible targets of terrorist attacks following the explosion.
Barias earlier said at a media briefing near the bomb blast site that they were still conducting an investigation and would not comment further.
“Malaking pagsabog ito, maaring hindi lang LPG. This was a bomb. But beyond that we can’t say anything else yet because we are still investigating. What I can say is that it was not caused by an LPG. Other than that we cannot speculate on the nature of origin of the explosion,” Barias told reporters, pointing out though that they still have to complete their post-blast investigation to determine the cause of the explosion.
A Reuters report, quoting unnamed sources, said traces of C4 plastic explosives were found at the location. The bomb appeared to have been left near a cellphone repair shop at the bottom of an escalator, they said.
Barias said the explosion tore a 200square meter hole through the second level of the Glorietta 2 building, filling the ground floor with debris. He pointed out that the blast did not leave a crater.
He added that the bridge way connecting Glorietta 2 and Park Square 2 across the street also had some of its frames sticking out. Within the approximately ten meters from the blast site, several restaurants also sustained damages, mostly shattered glass panels.
As of 5 pm yesterday, the NCRPO chief said SWAT personnel were still scouring the immediate vicinity of the blast site for possible unexploded devices.
“Posibleng may mga tao pang naiwan sa loob kaya tsine-tsek pa naming mabuti yung area na yun na punung puno ng debris,” he said.
As of 5 p.m., more than 40 people were being treated at the Makati Medical Center for injuries from the explosion while 31 others were rushed to the Ospital ng Makati (OSMAK).
Witness Tony Peredo, 37-year-old mall goer, said in an interview that the building shook for several seconds after a loud blast. What followed was mayhem as terror-stricken mall goers ran towards the nearest exits, toppling others on their way.
“Nasa second floor ako, ang lakas nung sumabog. Tapos umuga yung floor parang lindol,” Peredo said.
Alfonso Reyes, spokesman of mall owner Ayala Land Inc. (ALI), said the portion of Glorietta 2 where the bomb exploded and the adjacent areas will remain closed indefinitely as engineers check the building’s structural integrity. The nearby Landmark mall was also closed late yesterday afternoon.
“As soon as the authorities give the green light, we will let people go back inside and retrieve their personal belongings. As of now our main priority is to extend full medical assistance to those hurt and injured,” he said.
He said that they have not received any warnings or threats of a possible mall attack.
Reyes assured relatives of the victims of the blast that ALI will shoulder the hospital expenses of blast victims.
Meanwhile, Mayor City Mayor Jejomar C. Binay asked police authorities yesterday to be thorough in their investigation on the blast.
Binay issued the statement from Fukuoka, Japan where he is attending the Asian Scouting Conference.
He said that the investigation should be seen as credible, impartial and thorough in order to dispel speculations about a possible link between the explosion and recent political developments.
He said that given the present political situation, it is not easy to dismiss these speculations.
Search and rescue operations were ongoing as of early last night and authorities said the operations were likely to continue until today.
Manila has largely been spared a spate of bomb attacks by Muslim rebels that have plagued the southern Mindanao region.
But it has been hit in the past. A series of bomb blasts in 2000 killed at least 22 people.
In February 2004, more than 100 people were killed when a bomb planted by Abu Sayyaf rebels sank a ferry near Manila Bay, the country’s worst terror attack. (Felix Mediavillo)
Airports placed under full alert
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) was placed under full alert yesterday following the Glorietta bomb blast.
Airport general manager Alfonso Cusi, who is also the concurrent chair of the Airport Security Center, decided to increase the alert level at the NAIA Terminals 1 and 2 and at the Manila Domestic Airport.
“Even while the investigation of the blast is in progress, we have decided to increase the alert level at the NAIA as a precautionary measure. We do not want to be complacent.” Cusi said.
The airport chief ordered the deployment of members of the Airport Police Department to undertake more frequent patrol of the Aircraft Movement Areas, increase the visibility outside Terminal areas, strictly implement access control and challenge procedures to intensify intelligence and monitoring tasks at the cargo warehouses within the NAIA complex.
NDCC activates operations center in Makati City
The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) yesterday activated an operations center in Makati City.
“The NDCC has activated (an operations) center just to give LGU support regarding the incident,” Office of Civil Defense deputy administrator Dr. Anthony Golez said. “We are also giving financial assistance to the victims,” he added.
Golez, who was touring hospitals where victims were possibly taken, said they were still not able to tell the identities of the victims. “It doesn’t look good,” Golez said, describing how the victims’ bodies looked.
Hightened alert ordered but it’s business as usual for MRT, LRT systems
There was a heightened security alert but it was business as usual at the railway systems in Metro Manila despite the bombing incident at the Glorietta 2 mall in Ayala Center, Makati City.
Ret. Gen. Roberto Lastimoso, general manager of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) said operations went on normally at the EDSA system but stricter security measures were implemented.
Lastimoso said the stringent security measures were also enforced in anticipation of the usual Friday crowd taking the MRT-3.
Stricter security measures were also implemented at the Lines 1 (Monumento-Baclarn) and 2 (Santolan,PasigRecto,Manila) of the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) according to its media relations officer, Jinky Jorgio.
Robles appealed to passengers to be patient with the stringent security measures in LRT stations since they are also for their own good.
It would be remembered that the Blumentritt Station of the LRTA’s Monumento-Baclaran line suffered a terrorist attack in Dec. 30, 2000 where 22 passengers were killed and 104 others were injured in what would come to be known as “Rizal Day Bombing.”(JC Bello Ruiz)
