The entire planet has a new enemy—swine flu. I just hope this is a mild one because we don’t need more problems right now. We are still in the doldrums with the financial crisis and the recession. Nature is really beginning to get back at us. We must pray harder for all these to pass!
I’m missing my family terribly! It’s been nine months since I last saw them. Whenever I see families out together I long for the time when I can be one with my wife, daughter and two sons. Especially on Sundays like this: cold, rainy, lonely. I do hope the sun does shine soon in my life!

For the general commuting public, maging driver ka man o hindi….
Three days ago my driver had an encounter in this area. After dropping me off at work, the driver was on the south bound lane of South Super Highway near the home along the riles housing (near Sunday Machine Works and Designer Depot). As he came to a full stop at the San Andres intersection stoplight, a man approached the car’s rear passenger side, grabbed the car’s antenna and broke it. The man remained beside the car, apparently waiting for the driver to get down and confront him. Fortunately, the driver remembered my dad’s warnings regarding these types of M.O.s and remained in the car. As the driver sped away, he noticed a group of men on the center island. It pays to be praning,

Yes, I have witnessed a similar incident, maybe about a month ago, and reported it immediately to Police 117. A young man tried to open the passenger door of the taxi in front of me. About three or four girls were inside the taxi at that time. Fortunately, the door was locked. I pass this route coming from Malacanang every night. Fortunately for me too, my car is heavily tinted so I am not easy prey. I shall call 117 again. I suggest you do the same. Although I don’t know if that would really help.

A similar incident happened to me along Quirino Avenue somewhere between the Flying V gas station and Iglesia ni Kristo. 3 men approached my car IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! and SLOW TRAFFIC! and tried to open the back doors. Bumusina ako ng tuloy tuloy to BR ward them off. It’s scary ‘coz that area has no patrolling policemen. When they failed to open my car, they tried the other cars naman. I don’t know kung may nabuksan sila. Then yesterday, while the PMAP rally was going on along Buendia cor. Ayala, as I was about to cross that intersection, two of the rallyists tried to open my car doors again. Again in BROAD DAYLIGHT! WITH A POLICEMAN AROUND! Hay, what the world has come to. I suggest you lock up and make a lot of noise to at least rattle those thieves.

Ingat kayo when passing through south super highway cor quirino ave. On our way home from Makati , we took buendia then turn right to south superhighway, it was only 8pm and it was drizzling. we were cruising fine but it was a slow moving traffic. right after san andres st, there are these buildings which are modern version of home along the riles (near the designers depot), my wife screamed because somebody was trying to open the car from her side. sensing that it was locked he moved to the back door and tried to open it likewise, we were stocked in traffic and i was stunned that i could not think of anything to do but just look at him. so when finally the traffic moved he also moved away casually tucking the gun in his belly and staring at me as if saying you are lucky you locked your door. thank GOD my wife is so makulit in reminding me to lock the door evertime we go. kaya to all you people beware of that place. Actually you should be alert & be cautious when passing through south superhighway all the way to nagtahan.

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol – Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke – Dead
Third worm in chocolate syrup – Dead
Fourth worm in good clean soil – Alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation –
What can you learn from this demonstration?
Maxine was setting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
“As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won’t have worms!”
That pretty much ended the service –

Students are now starting to cram their course/class requirements. In a matter of days the final exams will be taken and the first semester of academic year 2007-2008 will officially ends. But how it will end for each and every student, most specially those in college and graduate school, remains to be seen. Good luck to all of us, for I too am a postgraduate with five papers to finish to remove my incomplete mark.

Some writers say that blogging is their cure for writer’s block. As an aspiring writer, I too am going this route. I’ve been trying to finish a screenplay for quite sometime now, to no avail. With so many distractions from all over (radio, television, cable, web, school, work, family), I’m really overwhelmed. Hope this blog helps.
