Mommy just had an operation and is not fit to travel anywhere. Her papa, my grandfather, died two days ago. =( I am so sad that she could not see him for the last time. It breaks my heart.
Sigh. But what can we all do? It's too risky for her to be in the province in her condition. Her calcium level is always fluctuating causing her legs to numb and I guess the safest place to have an attack like that would be in Manila.
I seriously do not know what to do.
I am so sad that I am stuck here in Dubai and I could do nothing. Absolutely nothing.... =(

FILIPINO SIGNS OF WIT:
1. The sign in a flower shop in Diliman called Petal Attraction.
2. Anita Bakery
3. A 24-hour restaurant called Doris Day & Night
4. Barber shop called Felix the Cut;
5. A coffee shop named Brews Almighty
6. Fast-food place selling 'maruya' (banana fritters) called Maruya Carey.
7. Then, there are Christopher Plumbing
8. A boutique called The Way We Wear
9. A video rental shop called Leon King Video Rental
10. A restaurant in Cainta district of Rizal called Caintacky Fried Chicken
11.. A local burger restaurant called Mang Donald's
12. A doughnut shop called MacDonuts
13. A shop selling ‘lumpia’ (egg roll) in Makati called Wrap and Roll
14. And two butcher shops called Meating Place and Meatropolis.
Smart travelers can decipher what may look like baffling signs to unaccustomed foreigners by simply sounding out the 'Taglish' - the Philippine version of English words spelled and pronounced with a heavy Filipino such as:
15. At a restaurant menu in Cebu. The sign read and spelled, “We hab sopdrink in can an in batol?”
16. Then, a sewing accessories shop spelled Bids and Pises. You mean Beads and Pieces? Lol!!!
There are also many signs with either badly chosen or misspelled words but they are usually so entertaining that it would be a mistake to 'correct' them like.......
17. In a restaurant in Baguio City - Wanted: Boy Waitress Lol!!!!
18. On a highway in Pampanga - We Make Modern Antique Furniture
19. On the window of a photography shop in Cabanatuan - We Shoot You While You Wait
20. And on the glass front of a cafe in Panay Avenue in Manila - Wanted: Waiter, Cashier, Washier
Some of the notices can even give a wrong impression such as:
21. A shoe store in Pangasinan - We Sell Imported Robber Shoes
22. A rental property sign in Jaro reads - House for Rent, Fully Furnaced
23. Occasionally, one could come across signs that are truly unique - if not altogether odd.
City in southern Philippines - Adults: 1 peso; Child: 50 centavos; Cadavers: fare subject to negotiation
24. European tourists may also be intrigued to discover two competing shops selling hopia (a Chinese pastry) called Holland Hopia and Poland Hopia - which are owned and operated by two local Chinese entrepreneurs, Mr. Ho and Mr. Po respectively believe it or not.
25. Some folks also 'creatively' redesign English to be more efficient. The creative confusion between language and culture leads to more than just simple unintentional errors in syntax,but in the adoption of new words?
Says reader Robert Goodfellow who came across a sign..... House Fersallarend (house for sale or rent). Why use five words when two will do?
26. According to a Manila businessman, there is so much wit in the Philippines because? We are a country where a good sense of humor is needed to survive? We have a 24-hour comedy show here called the government and a huge reserve of comedians made up mostly of politicians and bad actors.
27. A restaurant in Quezon City with the name - “Cooking Ng Ina Nyo!”
28. Because business was good, another restaurant on the next block opened with the name “Cooking Ng Ina Nyo Rin!”
29. A certain Susan opened a flower shop south of metro manila… and the name of the shop is “Susan’s Roses”
30. A bakery named Bread Pitt

The Little Creature/Blessing That Brings Joy into Our Lives
When I found out my brother got his girlfriend pregnant four years ago, I was shattered. I was down on the floor wiping my tears from the room's carpet. Back then it was hard to accept in the midst of my mom's health condition and our financial crisis, I knew that the responsibility I have on my shoulders will solely be my own. ANd I have happily accepted that except it also meant I guess I will be an aunt but not a mom to my own for a longer while.
When Vaughn was born, I could not express the happiness I had in my heart. I knew now how my ninang felt when she first saw me. He is the cutest =)
This little boy brought so much happiness to my family especially to my mom and dad. He maybe slightly bigger than a peanut but the joy he brings to us is enormous and immeasurable. How thankful I am that he came into our lives...
My mom is partially blind but I could see that even if she barely sees vaughn, she would light up and change her mood very easily. SHe talks about her grandson more than anything now. Seems like she has no pain of any sort when she sees Vaughn around. My mom would tell me endless stories about how Vaughn got a star from school or how Vaughn said he got very good marks, and how she is slightly worried about bullies in school. She would tell me Vaughn is like an adult when you talk to him and I could feel mommy's pain when she said, I think Vaughn does not like me too much because I can't play with him...
My dad has softened a lot when Vaughn was born. I guess to have a grandson could change a person somehow. He is very different with Vaughn compared to my brother. He buys him all sorts of things, funny ones like helmets and bikes from surplus. I would insist to my nephew that those were from me as well coz his lolo gets the money from me. Until one day when Vaughn said to me, "no ninang, it's not your money lolo bought my bike with, it's from his pention..." Oh ok then, if it's from his pension then it's really from him. hahaha. Ooops on that one.
Today, I feel happy to see Vaughn in photos, I view his videos over and over again. He is funny, strong willed and stubborn. And very intelligent too. He's seen me put on make up so many times at the hotel and he knows which one I use first starting with moisturizer, liquid foundation and all that. He puts too much interest on watching me put on make up, it scares me a bit. lol.
He's all grown up now. It's been years and years he believed crowne plaza was my house, but now, he asks, why do you keep changing rooms in your house ninang? uh oh. he must be getting confused, he also does not understand why on some days he passes by my house and could not come by to see me. so funny.
It's always worth it to come home to Manila even just for a meager 18 hours to see special moments like this, mom and vaughn talking to each other and playing card games. It makes me so happy and blessed.
I get to to thinking how my brother and sister and law should cherish the times when vaughn is growing as a little boy, time runs so fast... i hope he grows up to be smart and loving and a good son. And as for me, well I guess, I'm bitter sweet.

Today, someone I just met said:
" Wag kang magsasabing nde mo kaya! "
Alam mo dati nangangarap lang ako mag drive ng ganitong sasakyan nung nakisakay ako sa isang kapitan... akala ko pang kapitan lang yung ganitong sasakyan, pero eto na ako ngayon dinadrive ko na to. "
I like it when people put their faith in me, even if they dont know me. I like it when people make me feel that I can do it when sometimes I really feel hopeless. I like it when people inspire me, not with what they have acquired but with what they have become from what little they have started with. I like it when people just blurt words of wisdom out of their mouth without them knowing it!
i meet people i would love to learn a lot from... even from trivial stories of whatever was going on with their lives. there's just so many people who have worked so hard to be where they are right now and are proud of it =) im proud of people like them! i could listen to them on and on and on...
oh well, maybe soon ill be a little bit just a little bit of a millionaire like you =)

I Miss Life in Philippines
The other week when I was in Manila was when my mom had her parathyroid operation. COming from the hospital back to the hotel, I took a cab. I didn't know where exactly I was during the night but in the morning everything was perfectly at its place. The cab moved its way from Katipunan to Ortigas via Blue Ridge, and Corinthian Hills. Through Katipunan, memories just flooded and i realized I missed my UP life. We were always in Katipunan. Gosh I missed Shakeys, Hungry Hippo, Ken afford, the starbucks infront of Ateneo =) I remember David's Salon and Bea and Jerome. I miss this place where there is a food strip, I forgot what its called. And then I saw Banapple and how much I want to just stop and try their banoffee pie... =( no time. no time at all. I saw Countryside and I remember their bbq's... =) And then we passed by all these landscape stores and I missed them too. Everyday going to work I would always pass by these gardens and I would never grow tired of looking at each and evry plant =) I really missed this place. I wanted to buy puto from calasiao along the road and there was kesong puti as well. =) ang sarap sana , but i only have enough peso for the cab ride. =(
on the way to the airport naman we passed by Ortigas Ave. I saw podium and there was a pang of sadness in my heart. I miss the days when I was working at ambergris. I was young and had nothing to worry about. I had mocha frap every night probably even two if I was sleepier than usual, and now I realize I was spending all of my salary on coffee back then... i was naive and knew nothing about money and budget and savings =) i missed those days coz come to think of it now that I make probably 30 times more than I used to, i cant bring myself to have Costa coffee before my work days starts, I honestly feel that I cannot afford it! how ironic right? Ive become this stingy person i cant even recognize! arrrggghh im cheap! i wait till i get to the aircraft to have my coffee boost! cheappeepaayy!!!!
i am not ashamed but i guess knowing the value of money and probably really working hard for it changed me. changed me a lot =) positive in some ways but cheapeepay nonetheless. I go to the mall, I try on dresses and I know I look really good in the clothes I chose but I leave it, pretending like I never even wanted it. I walk home thinking about it, I sleep and I dream of it. The next day I come back for it because i couldnt sleep thinking about it, and of course, it's gone! i do not regret, I even rejoice that it was gone! I have gone totally mental. Before I buy something it takes forever for me to decide!
I am a sucker at saving...at trying to save. I have this fear of not saving enough, every single month, so i deprive myself! it hurts but i sometimes feel secretly proud whenever I am able to stop myself from buying anything. my hubby would definitely not agree to this, he still thinks i spend on garbage, but he hasnt seen how normal girls spend...
Back to where I was on top of this post, I miss miss miss Manila =) Im just glad I have 2 more this month. No matter how short the layover is, I still feel that being in Manila completes the flight attendant in me. It makes me realize that wherever I go, no matter how far Ive reached, home is still home and it is where my heart really is.
im not homesick yet coz i have manila tomorrow =) im excited to see my family again =)

Why?
Sometimes, I get disappointed with myself when I spend hours on facebook. Really. It annoys me that I have to be browsing through other people's profile when I really shouldn't. Because I feel there are no relevant advantages in doing so. Most of the time, I sin when I look at other people's profile. As each face opens into their lives and somehow, even if you are not really interested with it, their lives are screaming on your face. And people get pissed when they find out that other people are talking about them behind their backs. Well hello, if you really wanted to be a vey private person, please do delete your fb account. Because I feel that having fb means that you are willing to share all these unsolicited info of your life to all of your 1 million friends. And the blame is on you if people talk about you, your status, what you've become and whatnots.
There was a recent quote in fb i was reading that I totally agree with. It's about how happiness is the best revenge to whoever your frenemies are. And the reason is that people cannot stand seeing other people having a good life whatsoever, something like that. IT IS very true. people cannot stand other people's successes and they rejoice in other people's failures. They do. But how do you really show the world and your enemies for example that you are indeed happy? Is it by posting happy stuff in FB? Is it by showing off what you've got. Is it by posting photos of properties you've recently acquired? By showing all the purses and mind blowing purchases you've made so far? Is it by posting shout outs about how your life is so interesting and how you have no words to express how your life has become so utterly perfect? Well. I guess if this truly is the way to measure happiness well I could say everyone in the world is as happy as could be! Because so far in all my years of browsing through photos of random people, they only post most of the time the happy times. But seriously, its surreal. No one is happy all the time.
And who's really fooling who when you post all the freaking happy moments of your life in your profile for all the world to envy and then when you get home, you know the real story. You know that those photos are all for the show. Its pathetic. Anyway, Im not being righteous here, I post photos of what happening in my life, and I can honestly say because it feels good to share some details of my life that I am proud of. But other people just are too much. At the end of the day, you are the true judge if you are truly happy or not. And when it comes to you, you know you can not lie. It's like being happy to buy a fake bag, people thinking its for real and the only person you are actually fooling is yourself. If its fake, have a little dignity and don't convince others it's authentic.
Facebook has turned showing off into utterly whole new unbelievable levels. I swear. And sometimes, I really want to delete my account. But I really find joy from it too. So what do I do? Seriously, I don't know. I regret adding people who are not really my friends. I cannot have the heart to delete them. And one time when I did, they added me back. So. Whats the point.
FB should be TWO-FACED BOOK. Because it is two faced and hypocritical.
Its addicting I know, but really I envy those who can stop themselves from posting teeny weeny events and basically just everything. I am guilty as charged. I cant stop. But I will.
Oh well. Im just bored right now. So lets check what's going on with your life!
