Pinoy Big Brother- Gabby dela Merced

Ok, I chanced to watch it again last night and it pissed me off again. They do not want to vote one of them out. Plastic, Show me someone who doesn't want to win 2 million pesos. Maybe by voting someone out they will get less vote, I doubt that Ruben will be the winner, was he ever nominated by the housemate? We never know how many will vote for him, as for John and Will, when they were nominated with Don Geisler, they have more votes, so we will never know the popularity of Ruben. If he has a lot of supporters. And why would the housemates choose among themselves who will be the winner, are they going to spend money voting for each other? As for me, I go for Gabby dela Merced.

New Boyfriend for New Year

I have a lot of single friends and the coming new years marks another year for them without a partner. I just wrote a very long letter to a friend, coaxing her to find one. I told another friend to start loosing weight and another to start wearing make-up. These friends are in their 30's already. The more they are getting worried.

I have a very pretty picture in my friendster account, and that is not my picture. There are a lot of men adding me as friends because they thought that I was the one in the picture. I forwarded these profile to my friend and she don't like them because they only added me as a friend because they thought I was pretty.

I was telling Irwin that men naturally want a pretty girl, INITIALLY. Because they are really attracted to the face, the body, all physical. Science has proven this in several studies and this was even theorized by Charles Darwin. So you cannot tamper with nature. This is the nature of man.

I know and I believe that I was attractive when I was YOUNGER, when my waistline is still 24 inches and I can wear pretty clothes and I know I attracted some guys not just Irwin. Plus my added self-confidence. hehe.

Women in contrast are attracted to power and the ability to provide for the offspring, this too is according to Darwin's theory. So there are pretty girls with not-so-pretty boys but rich pockets. And this could be one of the reason why there are less women marrying. They cannot find a man who can provide for them, because some of these women are already successful and you still have to surpass their accomplishment for you to be attracted to them, but if you are already OLD, you cannot be choosy!

I told my friend to get pregnant with a man but she doesn't like a baby she wants a man!

So for singles men out there if you can read this blog, I am looking for a lot of boyfriends for a lot of girl friends. This is a wanted ad for a boyfriend. period.

Do You Want to Die?

I want to die a natural death, getting old. My husband's grandmother is 87 years old with no pain in her body and yesterday, she let me smell her Creamsilk fragrant hair that has reached her knee. She was a widow at 30 and was a pregnant widow. She has lived 57 years with her only daughter who has never married and takes care of her, our Ninang Baby. So devoted and caring.

Now, on the topic of dying. How do I start writing this? I suddenly wrote about dying because I checked a website on dying and saw to my horror that a lot of people are accessing it. Why do people want to die, why would they search in the internet on ways to die? Gracious! If only their relatives or their loved ones could see what they have been accessing. They have a suicide attempt or a death wish. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! So many lonely people. So isolated. This season of Christmas and New Year it does not only bring cheers to a lot of people but loneliness too.

Some dread the arrival of their birthdays, or special occasions because of fear that no one will greet them or no one will share it with them. Some people would judge them pathetic but let's us understand these people. Behind their facade that everything is alright they are miserable.

Just like the Beatles Song, All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
I can be alone but I am not lonely, you can be with a lot of people but you are lonely. I just hope that everyone will have a Lonely-Free New Year and everyone will have someone to share the holidays. People of the world, have faith, have love, make no room for loneliness.

Wrong Medicine-Viagra

I remember a funny incident when I was buying an expectorant from a drug store, and cannot remember the name of the drug and I thought of "Sildenafil", they keep on telling me Sumaped, or Sumapen. They asked me to buy an antibiotic and a cough drop, so I thought the Sumaped is the cough drop and I will buy a generic antibiotic, it turned out that the right name is Sumapen and it is the antibiotic.
I did not buy any cough drop, I was tempted to buy "Sildenafil" and ask the pharmacist but didn't. When I got home, I told them that I did not buy any expectorant and that the right name was not Sumaped but Sildenafil, I was so proud about my knowledge on medicine that I searched on the internet for the Sildenafil. Hahaha!

Sildenafil turned out to be the generic name for Viagra. Woohoo! Buti na lang pala, hindi ko tinanong sa pharmacist, ang yabang ko pa kay Irwin, kala ko tama ako, nakakahiya naman for me to buy a Viagra. Hehehe.

Our ninong is a doctor from the States and he always has a Viagra and give it to his friends to sell, aba mahal din ata yun noh. Effective ba talaga yun??

Play Doh Activity Mat

We bought this Play-Doh Activity Mat at 77th street at Market Market yesterday, we bought it for Php 400.00, it was on sale at an original price of 599.00 kala ko naka-discount na kami yun pala $7.99 lang pala sya sa States. Gift namin for our inaanak, we also bought a play-doh clean up pal pig to clean the mess.




This one is cute, after you are done playing with the clay, the clay will cling to the pig's snout. Cute! parang ayaw kong ibigya, ako na lang ang gagamit. This one naman cost Php 259.00.

A sponge bob play-doh is also available, mas mahal nga lang siya, nasa 450.00 eh same lang ang price niya sa activity mat.

Christmas Party Thoughts

I can't sleep after waking up so early so I will unburden my thoughts here na lang. Yesterday was our Christmas party at Boni and it was tiring day. I was there around 1pm and the party started around 3pm and ended at before 8pm, umuwi na ako di pa tapos. Because we are from Pasig, we do not know the program due to lack of information kasi ang layo namin, eh isa lang po ang telepono sa Pasig, walang internet, our Director doesn't care about the party and the competition so nada. Wala rin kaming copy ng criteria for the song and ballroom competition. Wala talaga, basta nag practice lang kami.

We lost in the competition.
Consolation prize lang ang napanalunan namin, last year we were at least 2nd place sa dance, bago lang ang song competition and we were 4th place. Hindi pa umabot sa 3rd place. 7th place kami sa ballroom competition.

Prizes for song and dance costs 20,000 for the first prize, 15,000 for the second and 10,000 for the third prize. Consolation is 2,000.

Malakas kasi ang group namin, and some group from Boni tried to sabotage our performance, we were not permitted to include in our dance yung instructor ng PE, tapos sa Boni, lahat ng PE teachers, isang group sila, sila pa ang nanalo ng first price sa dance. Madaya. Hmm, to be fair, di naman ganun kaganda nga ang dance namin, sa tingin ko ang sumira yung costume nila, naka pang flamenco sila na balloon dress, tapos cha cha ang sayaw nila, hehehe, so pag ikot nila, ang sikip sana nag formal dress na lang sila na long gown ang ganda nun. Yung iba hindi rin nagpractice, kala mo ang gagaling, hahaha. Mga oldies na kasi ang mga kasama ko eh, hehehe, not the oldies na mahilig sa ballroom ha.
yung ibang group, tinanggal nila lahat ng oldies ang pinasayaw nila mga bata, the other groups mga professor ang mga sumayaw, ang galing, nakakaaliw, they deserve the prize.

For the singing competition, the winner was the last to perform, syempre may effect yun after seeing the performance of everybody alam na nila ang gagawin nila, lalakasan ang boses, aayusin, ang everything was alright na including the sound system, it was unfair for those who performed first, kasi major adjustment pa ang sound at the start, malakas ang mike, mas malakas ang piano kesa sa voice etc. sa mga succeeding okey na. kaya mas maganda ang performance ng mga sumunod.

Dapat sa singing competition, ang mga judges nasa likod ng kurtina, para walang prejudice, kasi di naman kasama ang costume kundi voice quality. Para ang gagawin lang nila, makikinig lang para mawala ang bias, nabasa ko po ito sa book na "Blink", di po ito imbento, may tendency kasi to judge kapag nakikita nawawala ang essence ng criteria.

I won a rice cooker, yung iba walang price, ako happy na ako nakakanta at nakapag perform lang ako, lalo akong masaya kung nakasali ako sa dance. Kaya lang nagutom kami ng baby ko, tsk tsk tsk, kaya masaya na ako na nakakain ako. simple lang naman ang gusto ko, tapos na ako sa mga material wants, nasa second level na ako ng heirarchy of needs ni Maslow, konti na lang, malapit na akong mag self-actualized, to realize your full potential. Pag naging mommy siguro ako, that would be my self-actualized self.
Nagiging philosopher-psychologist na naman ako.
