Another one bites the dust

willing willie has been off the air for a couple of days now, all because of a vendetta to bring him down.

i remember MTB- he got suspended because of a remark that he made about mahal, after that the show was canned because of low ratings.

here comes wowowee, wherein he also got his ass whipped a couple of times because of numerous issues including the ultra stampede.

and the most current career downer is with willing willie.

to start with, he is not the only host who uses double entendre…

his show wasn’t the only instance wherein the audience got hurt…

he is not the only showbiz personality who cried foul because another talent keeps on lambasting him even if they’re under the same network… what good is there when a personality is being endorsed and promoted by the powers that be but being maligned by another who is under that same label as he is?

when i watched the whole jan-jan episode on youtube… he wasn’t the one who particularly requested the boy to girate in front of the audience, it was a talent that the boy’s family has been allowing him to perform. the fact that his aunt was there means that his parents gave permission to the appearance. to add, it was very obvious that the boy cried because of the tall athlete whom willie invited onstage. 

his show isn’t the only one that’s showcasing kids who girate in front of the tube! why is he being singled out?!

i couldn’t help but ponder upon the real reason why people could not just take/accept willie’s unexpeted rise to stardom from being a randy santiago hawi boy.. he is  the mere epitome of a rags to riches story- the Pinoy’s dream.

crab mentality, ladies and gentlemen, is at it’s finest in the  willie revillame biography!

instead of bringing him down, why don’t we start with ourselves? why don’t we use our talents to better the lives of those around us and quit taking other people down to better sell ourselves? sounds impossible but it can happen…

capital punishment for drug mules

prayer vigils were held across the country and even P-Noy thru the VP requested his China counterpart to stay the execution of 3 filipino convicted drug mules last March 30th. all to no avail…

i don’t personally know the  people involved but my heart goes out for them and their families…moreso, i bleed for the ones whose lives have been wrecked because of the drugs that they have willingly or unwillingly transported.

i am all for human rights especially the right to life but i carry a slogan in my heart that says: one’s rights end where another’s rights begin.when one uses drugs, he not only destroys himself but he also forever leaves a scar  on the lives of family, friends and even on people he doesn’t know. i had been a silent witness to my mother’s suffering because of a brother’s drug problems- one of the reasons why she died of a broken heart. our lives changed 2 decades ago when my brother had a nervous breakdown because of drug abuse and until now, i still feel the pain…

i admire china’s drug policy. prohibited drugs push people to kill, rape and rob thus a harsh punishment should be meted out to people who capitalize on such. i am sorry if a lot of you will oppose this but i believe that a similar drug policy should also be enforced in our country!

it’s similar to what a surgeon does to stop the spread of cancer- to surgically pluck out the sources of the deadly disease.

Here and now…

We’ve recently been shocked by the giant magnitude of the quake that hit Japan and the corresponding aftermath. It hit close to home- what’s been prophesized are happening all around us. No matter how we try to keep ourselves as comfortable and safe as we can, what’s supposed to happen will happen- all in God’s time. The present catastrophies that envelope the world will reach the realm of darkness-perdition thru persecution which only a few will remain steadfast in their faith.

What’s happening in our midst is just a bit part of the world’s cleansing so instead of succumbing to panic and wasting time hanging on to worldly possessions,let us ready ourselves and our loved ones for the greatest battle mankind is yet to face-the battle to cleanse itself of all forms of evil; a struggle that should be pursued in the here and now…

Yahoo!!!!!

I finally had the patience to dial 89-100 and after half-an-hour, everything paid off when I heard a phone banker’s voice. After a tedious but reasonable verification process, I was finally given a new password and simplified instructions on how to change it online.

My dilema started when I enrolled my 2nd payroll atm account under the 1st  coz I was advised to do such by the previous phone banker. The problem was that I could no longer remember the old username and password- thanks to getting old and getting drunk almost everyday.  I really don’t know how the online banking works but I gather that if you already have an existing online account, you will not be able to create another under a separate username and password.

So, to make the long story short, my log-in issues gave me a 2-yr headache!

Thanks to my partner and my friends who encouraged me to call in for support. I now can easily keep track of how much was credited to my payroll account without the hassle of actually going to atm machines or using the office phone to inquire.

Thanks BPI! You made my day!

bedspace, anyone?

i have these 4 amazingly annoying roomates. i’ve given them petnames- queen bee, sheryl cruz,it girl and shunda. let me introduce them to you.  queen bee is the evil witch personified. sheryl cruz is the spoiled brat of the century. it girl is the fashion addict. shunda is the leader of the cult.

redundant, isn’t it? to say the queen bee is evil and witch… she really is. there was a time when, out of good nature, i offered to pay for her fast-food meal, she declined saying that it would have been ok if i were rick. ok, im poor but there’s no need to rub it in. on the other side, maybe she was only concerned. i let it go then.  she also asked if my globe-locked samsung z560 was china-made.  i said no, it was from a globe business center. hays! she would also turn off the air fans even if i was eating and it’s summertime.  imagine me sweating in front of the table.  she would also turn her casette’s volume up even if she knows i was sleeping, doesn’t even care coz she works days and i work nights.  she also threatened the landlady that if i don’t go, they would all go. duh! that was last year, we are still living in the same boarding house and in the same room. she acts like an angel in front of other people, but she lets the devil incarnate loose when she’s within the confines of our room. she says her family rose from rags to riches, i mean chicharon to 3-storey house with lots of cars, claiming that her mommy and daddy makes it a point to cook elegant and delicious food when she’s at home.  who cares?  she also bragged about a chatmate/bf who hails from her hometown, whom she met online, an rn, has houses in their hometown, in canada, and in australlia. said rn bf was set to arrive last february, moved to march and finally rescheduled to april.  it’s now about to turn june and she has this alibi that all along, her bf is in haiti doing volunteer work. really now!

here comes sheyl cruz, the celebrity brat.  she’s in a “long-time” same-sex relationship.  she brags that her dyke is so “macho-gwapito” that everywhere they go, romnick would draw attention and second looks. ok, good.  she also says that romnick has a high position in a laguna-based factory (an inspector) and shows off that her mate has a loan-financed motorbike purchase.  ok, good for them, im happy for them. what im not happy about is that she constantly tells me that my gf will leave me if i didn’t have a job, that i shouldn’t let my girl manage my finances, unlike her- holding romnick’s atm card coz they’ve been together for a long time now.well, to each his own. she would pointlessly say that call center jobs are not stable and turns snug when i say that the company incentives are good, benefits are ok and that we have this yearly appraisal. when i intentionally gave the hr her contact number and she was initially interviewed over that phone, she said the line was choppy and changed numbers. conincidence? oh, by the way, she’s under contract by an agency, doing some bpo accounting works and is nota regular employee. she’s also always late in paying for her bedspace and she makes everyone else her slave, she doesn’t participate in maintaining cleanliness, not even her own space.  romnick would stay in the room for a number of days and is so loud when i’m resting/sleeping. sheryl would warn me to tiptoe in the room if romnick is sleeping. ironic?

and now (drum roll), it girl in the house! she worked herself through a 2 year education and is now working in this it company that they (said roomates) all say offers generous pay.  she started this rumor that the niece of my landlady stole her doll shoes and managed to retrieve it only when shunda intervened. when i asked the niece, she told me that she borrowed the shoes, thinking it was sheryl’s.  she keeps on making “parinig” that all 4 of them were to go to a summer trip, without inviting me and my girl.  rainy days are near, no signs of asummer rendezvouz for these wonderfully irritating ladies. a few months ago, she bought this tribal blouse and put it on top of my bag. i think you all know why.

and now comes, shunda- a senior citizen, whose menopausal and only child is in the room right now, creating havoc while she’s at the office. she is partners in crime with queen bee and is financially dependent on the latter. she asks me about money matters which i honestly answer and has asked my girl if our sm purchases are covered by my credit card.  god! what the hell are they all thinking?

these ladies are getting to my nerves. everyday, it’s such a struggle to see them. i only have this space to express my continuing contempt for  all 4 of them.  if i don’t, the knots in my head will all turn loose. help me, god.
