I’m at a point where I should choose where to go. Whether to stay or to leave.
But I’m totally clueless.
It’s good however, that some things in life have remained constant–the warmth of my family, my crazy old friends, and the one and only love of my life, Nixlove. 
Sure, that cheap Chip Tsao already apologized. And he claimed it was a satire. But what was he thinking when he wrote that article? That Filipinos will not get it because it’s satirical?Or was he simply trying to escape Filipinos’ wrath by masquerading the story as satire?
I’m sure he will never go home unscratched if he ever sets foot in the Philippines. And I think he won’t have the courage to go here–if he still has crumbs of his questionable sense.
Tsao wrote in his article in HK magazine that my beloved country was a “nation of servants,” which I don’t really mind. Because there was nothing wrong in being a servant. What’s wrong in this equation was the way how Tsao thought of his Filipina maid Louisa–the woman who most likely left her family (even if she had a University degree) to make life easier for Tsao; the woman who probably cooked his food or ironed his clothes. Poor Tsao. Maybe he could not admit Louisa is smarter than he is.
I agree with Representative Ruffy Biazon when he said that Tsao probably had damaged brains because he grew up drinking melamine-tainted milk.
Earlier, Tsao wrote that the Philippines, as “a nation of servants” should not “flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter,” referring to the more than 130,000 Filipino domestics earning HK$3,850 monthly in the territory.
So Tsao, although I agree with the freedom of the press, you are not using it the right way. You better learn from this.

Nixlove and I had a unique way of saving mother earth last Saturday, in time with the worldwide Earth Hour. And we did it with the Camerawalls, an independent band (as they call themselves, probably likened to the trend of independent film makers). Clementine, the lead singer of the band, was a former member of the now disbanded Orange and Lemons.
We spent the dark earth hour at Ortigas Park as Camerawalls played their singles–and boy, we loved their songs! The songs had a bit of Beatles and Eraserheads (yes, the two greatest bands in the land haha) probably even a bit psychedelic. teehee
(This was after the earth hour kaya may ilaw na sa background. Madilim syempre sa pics nung earth hour)
After the show, we were a bit shy about having our photos with them (yes, I still get starstruck) but in no time we turned into fans. Nixlove bought an album and Clementine was glad to sign it
This is me and Clementine. 
Here’s Nixlove and Clementine. separated at birth because of the hairstyle. hihi
Here’s a hug and a tribute to all kid-loving citizens of the world!
I quote Barney and sing: “I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won’t you say you love me too.”
I have always loved kids and I think they have always loved me in return When at the mall, I see babies or toddlers smiling at me, haha! I think this was also because I am an only child so needless too say, I longed for a playmate, or simply to be an “ate.”
I think I’m also excited about motherhood but of course NOT this early, not this time, not this year. I just feel so happy seeing happy kids around. I think everyone deserves a happy childhood.
And time really flies fast, my cousins whom I have taken care of a lot even when I was still young (yes I know how to change diapers and make a bottle of milk since I was 7) are now about to graduate from highschool! They even have girlfriends already! Haaay.:)
Thank heavens I have Padingtun now and I think he will never ever get old…and that he’ll always be there to remind me how fun it is to be a child–worrying about nothing and simply treating everything as play.
It’s hard to grow old.
I have not been keen in posting news stories in this blog lately. Not that there are not much to post–maybe I just wanted this blog to look less serious. haha. I have a life other than news reporting! haha. :p
Anyway, the past month gave a good harvest. I particularly liked the Dacer-Corbito series because it has always been interesting. My analogy may be wrong but I think the celebrated murders can be considered the modern-day Aquino-Galman slay. Whatchathink?
Anyway, I may be writing about the slays and been talking to Dacer’s daughter Carina and Lacson’s nemesis, Reynaldo Berroya, but it’s still hard to get the whole picture. Lacson has always been a very good source too.
It’s a good thing though, that I’m in good terms with all of them and that makes me detached and unbiased to the story (ies).
Here goes:
Suspects in Mancao affidavit ‘known publicly’
Berroya: Lacson wanted Dacer dead
Another story is in the works. So please watch out for it (haha shameless plug!)
The first two weeks of March have been so great: from the unforgettable Eraserheads concert to the Philosophy night where Nixlove played for several sets. But through all these, what I can say is: ang gwapo ng Nixlove ko! hahaha
I can’t blog in detail now because I’m still sleepy but I can’t let Nixlove’s sweet deed pass.
Last night, before he peformed at the DL Umali in UPLB along with his co-teachers and Jeez bandmates, he wrote my name in his beloved guitar (of which I am sometimes jealous of haha!). 
He wrote my name and placed a heart beside it.
Mushy as it is, the feeling was heavenly. He wrote my name in his beloved instrument for all the world to see that he is taken and happy. teehee.
It was also funny that Nixlove had an Ely Buendia moment! After the show, a group of students approached Nixlove for a photo-op. haha! But of course, there will always be his one great fan:
Congratulations for a rocking Philo concert my love!
I’ve never been this giddy (except when it comes to Nixlove hihi) haha!
I covered the eulogy for the Master Rapper (a separate entry about this) and was expecting to see a lot of prominent people. It’s part of the package and it could either be a gift or a curse–you encounter nice ones or you meet horrible ones.
But tonight, March 10, Ely Buendia, a known friend of Francis Magalona, went to the eulogy. When he got off the car, I was actually giddy but I didn’t show it :p Instead, I phoned Nixlove and told him I find some resemblance in the way he and Ely moves. haha!
Anyway, two hours later, Ely left the church, evading the media. Other fans were barred from getting near our area so I had the best spot. I then cornered Ely not for an interview because I knew he won’t be granting one. I just asked if he’d allow a photo with me and he smiled but smirked–after all he’s from a funeral.
Here’s what I got:
And lest I be accused of being unethical, I’d like to clarify this was at the parking lot already, far from the mourners and the eulogy officially over. :p
So, there! haha! thank heavens for my steady hand!!!! It’s just been days since the best concert ever and I have a photo with him already! hahahaha It would be nice to be a music journalist (haha poser!). Rock and roll!!!
