not godmother material

it truly is beyond me why parents would consider me -- me?! to become a godparent to their precious ones. i mean it's a huge responsibility and to be honest, one i'd rather not be any part of. sadly, over the weekend i was enjoined to be a godparent not once but twice to two adorable babies!


ashley victoria and the proud parents with the excessively oily and generally late godmother


michael keidashi -- who is like God and who is both strong and righteous -- don't ask me why "good meaning" parents would burden a child with that.

quota na ko for the next 10 years people! for the love of God please take me off your godmother material lists! really i'm not!

Everyone has a scheme for getting ri...

down with the republic!

my grandmother passed away recently and the refusal of some church officials to allow my lola's last rites and burial mass to be held at the cathedral in laoag embroiled the family in a "battle" with church figures. the family regretably accepted the church's decision but then we were outraged when they went ahead and allowed another's funeral mass to proceed. the turnabout in their decision was allegedly because the deceased was a loyal supporter of the church (generous in monetary terms) and Fr. Jack in general. This prompted my cousin to write a letter to Fr. Jack, the Vicar General of the St. William's Cathedral. Her letter is copied below: 15 August 2004 Fr. Jacinto "Jack" Jose Vicar General St. William’s Cathedral, Laoag City An Expression of Disgust re Herminia A.

old friends

i was browsing through the web one day (just like any other day) when i clicked on a link that looked promising. i saw a familiar name so i called the no. listed (which was an overseas no. but what the heck!) and to make a long story short i found my old college friend. i was sooo excited! it was like my birthday and christmas rolled into one. unbelievable! and when i finally got to talk to her it was as if it was just yesterday when we saw each other last. we've set up a date so looking forward to that.
