Random Rants

Sometimes it irks me that some people don't know how to value others. I pretty much did everything possible to make the event happy, but what do I get? Nada, instead, he asked for more. I was already feeling bad when I woke up yesterday morning, sick because of cough and my ear infection. Imagine having both, would you be okay with this? Still, I tried to cook that dreaded Pancit Canton while weeping in pain. While cooking, I managed to clean the house and wash some clothes in between my much needed rest.

After nearly 4 hours of waiting for them, they arrived, and what did he say? "Nagsaing ka ba?" Just imagine that, I cooked Pancit and he's looking for rice, infront of their visitors. One of the many things I hate about him, his insensitivity. Oh, and one more thing, what does he think of my brother, a house maid who'll always wash the dishes for us when he's here? Duh, you don't even pick up your things after you use them, it's your brother who does nothing here and yet I managed to stretch my budget for his freaking birthday, I don't even get that treatment when I was his age.

It was not my intention to go my mom's place yesterday, promise, it's just that I'm sick and tired of having confrontations and seeing him having fun while I'm literally sick and feeling bad about what happened. I didn't want to see him at least for an hour and besides he's got his brother and his friends accompanying him, what more could he ask for? When I came back, I was calm and speaking to him already, I even cooked fried chicken for dinner, why would I find a blog, blaming my family about it when all along, my mom didn't know what happened. She even asked me why I was there when it's my husband's brother's birthday.

I just hope you freaking realize what I'm ranting here.

One other thing, I just got myself another puppy last Friday, his name is Kiko, I would really want to name him Eki, it's cuter and suits him. Anyway, I'll post his pics once it gets uploaded, hopefully today.

New Look for the New Me

It's another year added to my already interesting life. Aside from the fact that each week I get to experience new things, I've also added a new look, actually more of cutting off a few inches on my very long hair. A couple of days before my 29th birthday, Jeff and I decided to get our hair cut. We went to F Salon and Spa in Meycauayan, Bulacan. It's my first time to get my hair cut in that salon since I'm a fan of Reyes Haircutters, but since they murdered my nail the last time I went there, I vowed never to return again.

I was so anxious on what hairstyle would fit my long hair, then during the last minute before my turn on the hot seat I decided to have the short hair style. I thought it wouldn't suit me, because the last time I cut my hair short was more than 8 years ago, during college days. It wasn't looking good, so I thought. I just had it straightened last February, exactly one week before my wedding, so I'm more concerned that the hair style wouldn't fit me.

However, after roughly 15 - 20 minutes, voila, my hair looks better than my long hair. It's a lot manageable and it's not so heavy anymore. It's as if the hairstylist took some weight off my head. Now, I'm happier and excited to get headbands and clips to style it more.

A Happy Birthday?

Guess what? I'm officially 29 years old. You might think I'm too old, but I still feel young, not physically though. Probably because I missed a lot during my younger years that I only get to explore a lot things when I turned 25 up. This is supposed to be a happy birthday blog, but things do happen when you least expect them. Anyway, I still have 24 hours to turn things 180 degrees turn. I do hope it'll turn out to be a happy birthday for me.

It's quite cold tonight because of the rain, earlier today, it was damn too hot. I was drying our washed clothes outside when the heavy rain poured, so sorry for me, I have to wash them again because they got soaked pretty bad.

I didn't eat rice tonight, I just ate Tuna and a few slices of bread, just enough till I wake tomorrow morning. Aia ate some left over rice from yesterday's meal and a serving of her dog food.

I would really love to take a dip, it's so hot during the day and I think the weather's killing me. I hate summer.

Hubby and I got into an argument. I'm not happy about it and I'm getting frustrated.

Oh well, still, happy birthday to me..

Ted's Wife Died of Suicide

My husband and I were so busy last Wednesday because it was Lola's birthday. Since she was in UERM we went there and brought some food. That was a very busy day because we had to rush to Puregold to buy some groceries.

Upon reaching home we turned on the TV and voila, Ted Failon is on the news. Literally, he's the news, apparently, his wife attempted to kill herself. Ofcourse, when someone is killed or found dying at home, especially with a gun shot wound, definitely, the suspects would be the people living there.

There were so many speculations about the case, initially, I read somewhere that the couple (Ted and Trina) were seen having a heated argument in the car and Ted accidentally shot her using his licensed gun. Then the scenarios changed when police reported that Trina was found in their eldest daughter's bathroom in a pool of blood. The police found some loopholes that Ted might be covering up for a crime, not an attempted suicide.

Ted also mentioned in his interview that he didn't finish him morning Teleradyo because he's so worried that his wife won't leave their eldest daughter's room and he instincts probably told him that there's something bad that happened to his wife. Upon reaching their home he went to their kitchen and talked to their maid and drank a glass of water, headed upstairs to check his wife, when he found it locked, he asked his maid to get the key to the room. He checked the room and his wife wasn't there, he tried to check the bathroom but again, it was locked from the inside. He asked his maid again for the key, when they (Ted and Carlota) opened the bathroom, they both saw Trina, on the floor in a pool of blood.

As a normal loving husband that he is, he immediately took Trina to their car, Pam came from the bank and saw them and went with them to the hospital. Ted requested, no police and no media, as this is a family issue that they have to deal with. They didn't bother informing the police, again, they thought they didn't have, or maybe, they didn't want the police get involved.

Trina fought for her life, for two days, she still tried to survive, knowing that Ted and her family are now being scrutinized by the police because of the incident. Until that Friday night, the police were trying to force Pam to go with them for further investigation, while at the ICU of New Era Hospital. Her siblings were forced to go to precinct because they won't go with them, they made a really big mess at the ICU of the hospital. Ted even mentioned that he wanted to go out but his attorney won't allow him.

I believe a few minutes after the sad event that night, Trina passed away, probably she can no longer stand the fact that her family is suffering so much because of her. Her eldest daughter Kaye felt very heart broken because of what happened to her mom and what the police is doing to her dad.

Now, some rumors have landed in Girltalk that the reason behind Trina's suicide was because of money issues, apparently, there's a 20M worth of life savings from Ted's earnings that Trina had lost. There were speculations that Trina was scammed and she lost everything they had.

Up to this point, there are other stories being brought up by DOJ Sec about a certain Mr. Lee, a businessman and a major sponsor of Wowowie, they said a text message was sent to DOJ's office that this Mr. Lee and Ted brought Trina's body to the bathroom from another room to make it look like suicide.

Here' are my thought about everything..

1. It is possible that Trina indeed committed suicide. The fact that everyone, friends, relatives, siblings had mentioned that Trina was showing signs of depression weeks before the tragic incident, meant that all of them believed she did it. I think if there's anyone who'd think that Ted is guilty, it would be their family and relatives. But where are they? They're beside Ted, supporting him all the way.

2. I believe that the QCPD showed a strong evidence of police brutality, on both accounts, when they "arrested" the maids and the driver and when they "arrested" the brother and sister of Trina. If they can do this to a high profile personality such as Ted's, what more to a regular Juan just like us.

3. I think that these policemen were only showing their power to Ted, I still believe that they are doing these for vengeance, they just found an opportunity to pin down Ted, this is the best time to get back to Ted for exposing them during the rubout issue last February.

4. Just a message for these people, if you think you can get away with the simple Juan's eyes, think again, everything you did were shown on public TV. You have acted way way wrong, way way far from what you're tasked to do. We (tax payers) are paying you to do your job, not to use your useless powers to someone who doesn't need it.

Just my POV.

Repost from Caleb's blog

This is what I found in Caleb's friendster blog. This is funny but true. So, read..

Your Cellphone is not a Boom Box

So you have a cellphone that can play music with this small screechy sound coming out of tiny speakers. Do you think you’re cool sitting in the back of the FX cause you have the latest MP3 of Flo-rider? Does it set your emotions on fire while you listen to Maria’s latest single with everyone in the elevator to hear?

Get headphones for goodness sake! There’s this cool not-so-new invention called an ipod which has replaced the walkman. My point is: Your cellphone is not a boom box. Dont make it into one. It’s extremely annoying to people around you no matter how popular the music you’re playing is. You’re just like the noisy scooter playing really loud music without the bass. It’s just worse cause at least they have a scooter.

My First Time to Swim

It's Black Saturday and it's so hot, so out of no where just right after lunch we decided to take a dip on Villa Erlinda Pavillon again. My brother, Bebe and I went for a dip and it was so much fun than the first time. We didn't have to pay for a cottage since there's no more cottage left, and besides we didn't bring anything else aside from our towels.

I hadn't really had the chance to learn to swim. I mean, my dad would teach me before but it was very traumatic that I wouldn't want to be somewhere above 5 ft of water. Everytime we'd go to the beach or to a private pool, I'd just stay in a corner and just watch my friends swim like fishes.

I started the hour with just watching my brother and hubby goof around, then I tried to make my heavy but cute body float. It did, huwaw.. Then I tried it again, this time I opened my eyes in the water, the feeling was great. Then I tried flapping my feet, it worked. Then I used my hands, I moved a little.

Hubby noticed it and started teaching me a thing or two with swimming, I followed. I was so happy that I was able to move and swim a three meter range. This might be so easy for other people but for me it's an accomplishment.

It's the best thing that ever happened to me this week and for sure I'll try my best to learn more tricks in swimming. Though I find it tiring, I bet it's a good exercise for someone as big as me. You should try it too..

Family Bonding at the Pool

It was March 29 when my family visited our new home, in the afternoon we dipped in to the nearby resort, Villa Erlinda, which is just a few meters from our home. Everyone's happy with our mini bonding.

Happy Anniversary to Moi

It's been a year since I became a freelancer. First, it was more of a part time gig, a small time career. But then I saw the bigger picture, a more income generating career.

I first saw the opportunity in Girltalk, read a few threads, which took me around two weeks to finish in the office. Saw a few fellow Girltalkers that are into freelancing and i followed their instructions. I signed up, completed my profile and took some tests, applied for several jobs and voila, after two weeks of patiently waiting I finally got a job. It required me 40 hours a week, so, after my 9-hour shift at Dell Libis, I'd go straight home and work overtime for 4-5 hours a day, and during my day off, roughly 10-12 hours. It was stressful, but it was rewarding.

After sometime I finally got an opportunity to work full time, got additional part time jobs and another full time. I had to let go of my career as a Technical Support Senior Assistant in Dell Libis to give way to a new career, a better opportunity, a greener pasteur. I've let go a career that most people have never experienced, but in a way, I'm happy, because now, I'm the boss of my own business.

And as a celebration of my new found career, I'd like to invite you to my chosen path. Just send me a buzz if you're interested. Happy freelancing to us. Happy Anniversary to me.

Missing out some of my friends

Lately, life seems so perfect. We're in a perfect home, we may have a few problems but so far everything's running smoothly. Until a few minutes ago, I browsed through my friendster profile, checked out all the testimonials, yes, all 141 of them. I was teary-eyed when I finished down to the very first testimonial from Faith. Then I realized, I miss my friends, the old to the new ones. I miss the true friendship we shared, not just at work but with everything.

I still remember my high school friends, college buddies and work mates. I also miss the people I met in between. They know who they are and believe me, I really miss them. Browsing through my friendster profile made me think, is moving to Marilao a really good choice? I'm so far from my friends yet living a good life.

I miss Michelle from highschool, who now lives in San Juan, I miss her sister too. I miss Jomai, Jona, Thet and Irish from college, they're the dearest to me. I miss Faithy, my Etel best buddy, Mama Sacha, Amor, Jex, Caleb, all of my team members in Swordfish, miss you guys. I miss Sharon and Precious, my cool friends in Sykes. I miss Titser Jo and all of my batchmates in Convergys. I miss Pao, Joy and Pansay, and all my boys in Siemens. I miss Bang, Asia, Joel and everyone in Dell. Now, I only work, eat, sleep with my hubby. No qualms about it, but I really get sad at times.

So, just a simple message to everyone, I miss you guys.
