All that drama!

I, like most other Filipinos now, am slightly "amused" with the telenovela-like CGMA-DOJ-SC drama that has been in the news this week. Truly, it was an "amazing race", and so-to-speak "may the best man/woman win!".  And so, maybe, this first round is clearly a win for the DOJ/Malacanang, with yesterday's warrant being served to CGMA who is still at the St.Luke's hospital, thus, barring her from departing our country. Therefore, definitely no more question about the legality of DOJ's Watch List Order vs. the Supreme Court's TRO.  I am definitely not an expert in political matters, but with all due respect, and in my humble opinion, this is not merely a political matter or a battle between PNoy and the Arroyos.  It is, in the bigger picture, truly a fight between good and evil.  In simplest terms, it's just a matter of finding out the truth, rewarding the good, and punishing the evil.  I just hope that all this drama will end like most teleseryes do.  That the good triumphs over evil... and the "bida" lives happily ever after!


Just my two-cents worth.  Happy weekend! :)

Birthday Feast

We celebrated hubby's birthday at home while watching the Pacquiao-Marquez fight last Sunday (yes, that controversial fight!).  I was busy preparing lunch while everyone else was glued to the TV.  Thanks to our Mayor and Congressman who own the local cable provider, we had free live telecast of the fight (yipee!).  


Anyway, we had a sort-of-international-buffet-style lunch feast for hubby's birthday.  It actually reminded me of an old childhood game that goes "Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Negro".  hehehe :P


Chinese: Siomai



















Japanese: Maki

Filipino: Pancit Bihon

Negro: Triple chocolate cake from Red Ribbon ... hehehe :D

Tinkerbell

My mother-in-law recently came back from a trip to the USA and one of her "pasalubong"s for C is this cute Tinkerbell toy that lights up when a button is pushed.  My daughter loves to play with it so much so that even I couldn't help but marvel at its beauty. What simple joy!  How I wish I could be Tink for a day and fly high up in the sky, gazing at the beauty of the world below me.
