ibang klase!

this summer is one for the record books. it is one of the hottest i've ever experienced. phew!

---=====oooOOOooo=====---

i went on a retreat over the weekend. it was truly a blessing! the retreat was geared towards finding a purpose in life -- something which i have been questioning for awhile now. this came at a time when i was ready and willing to accept my mission - the Lord is indeed GREAT! my facilitator was just wonderful. may God bless her. she shared with me her vision of heaven -- which i will cherish for always. in this retreat i learned that i was a royal princess by virtue of being a child of God. I've been waiting my whole life for someone to tell me that and now i can shout it from the rooftops -- I'm a pretty princess!

---=====oooOOOooo=====---

my sister and i talked on the phone recently. (there are 4 kids in the house on account of the summer vacation)

me: how's everything sis?
flosie: i'm going to go bankrupt!
me: why?
flosie: everytime i cook it's like i'm preparing for a horde! i'm tired of thinking what to cook next. i asked gian how long will he stay in the house and he said, "for one year, auntie."

nyek! mamumulubi ka nga nyan!

MURPHY'S LAW

share and share alike i say...i first read this at the waiting room of dr. lapus -- the family opthalmologist. i'm not sure how relevant that information is -- just thought i had to say something by way of introduction. MURPHY'S LAW 1. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. 2. You will always find something in the last place you look. 3. No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper. 4. The other line always moves faster. 5. In order to get a loan, you must first prove you don't need it. 6. Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost you more than you thought. 7. If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up. 8. If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway. 9. When a broken appliance is demonstrated for the repairman, it will work perfectly. 10. Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it. 11. Everyone has a scheme for getting ri...

shopaholic's corner

the wonders of divisoria! i went down to divisoria this weekend and i had a blast! i got there around 9am where the multitudes that visit the shopping mecca that is divisoria has just started to build up. divisoria is the place to go for anything and everything -- i tell you they sell anything you can think of. first of all, you have to go there in comfortable clothing -- you don't dress up when you go to divisoria. oh, and leave the bling behind -- you can't wear flashy jewellry lest you attract the wrong attention. be prepared to get your feet trodden and trampled so put on your grubbiest pair of sneaks. you have to have a list when you go there because you will get sidetracked into buying just about everything that you can see. next, you will need a budget -- if you have a target in mind then stregthen your resolve and do not falter. if you are out for a bargain then be prepared to haggle -- oh, the joys of haggling best adrenalin rush you can get without doing death defying...

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. Pichay-Monroy Funeral Mass Dear Father Jack Jose: This is to express my strong personal disappointment and frustration at the decision of the church council and management, to not al...
