CENSORSHIP

FREEDOM!!!

That is the cry of Mel Gibson in the movie "Braveheart". Now it seems that I too have to shout it out to the computer department. Over censorship crap! Why do they have to block the good websites including http://www.wikipedia.org/? What is the point of having an internet at work if you can't access the best of the best of cyberspace. Now I keep checking my site if they have blocked it. Don't you dare computer guy! It's not worth it. They will not promote you to senior computer guy anyway.

RELATIVITY

I forgot to tell you why me and my sister call my grandmother "Lola Dagat", well here it is. When I was young I'm confused when my parents ask me to go to my Lola. And I always ask them which one? (And believe it or not they still confuse me up to now.) If memory serves, I think it was my father who coined the name "Lola Dagat", because they live near the sea. Guess who she's married to? If you guessed "Lolo Dagat" then you must be a genius! You deserve a Nobel Prize! My grandfather's real name is Felix. The most handsome grand-daddy in the world!

LOLA DAGAT

ANGELINA BONZON DELA CRUZ - "Lola Dagat" (Lola = Grandmother / Dagat = Sea) as me and my sister fondly call her, has left us yesterday August 17, 2006 at 8pm Manila time, and is now in the arms of our Lord God. May you rest in peace Lola! We love you very much.

GREEN

I admit that I am green in envy of my friends and relatives in America. This country has been engraved in my mind by my culture as the equivalent of paradise. A place where you can get everything. A place where the opportunities may it be big or small is endless. A place where even hobo's look good in Oakley shades, and they can speak English too! Not unlike their Filipino counterparts. I can only imagine at this time, that everyone in my family will be so happy to live there and enjoy the American way of living.

TV and movies has taken me there maybe a thousand times. The land is huge and overflowing with natural resources. The beaches are clean and full of beautiful women in their bikini, like the one's on Baywatch. And in terms of technology, I don't think that America is far behind on anything.

Recently, I have spoken to my long time friend in the US and she said that her life is a disaster. I asked myself "how could it be?" Even if something bad happens to you there you could easily bounce back, like those action heroes in movies. Or you’re  tragedy can be turned into comedy like in Scrubs. Have I been misinformed? I guess I won't know until I get there.

MURDER 101

Everytime I open my yahoo account I always get this notice that this particular guy has updated his blog. Not just one time in a day, but sometimes several times! Crazy @ss. (Oh, no not you Janers. I love reading your blog.) It's just so irritating! I don't even read his blog. Does anybody know how I can get him out of my list?

AQUA COOL

Dear Janers and Edster,

Diego loves the water! Could this be a product of our weekly swimming party? Could be. Anyways, we dropped by Edsters flat in Juffair before we went home. We surely miss the happy times when you guys were here. BTW, I saw your male nurse friend at Carl's birthday party last weekend and the Nickelback song played in my head over and over again. Oh, I forgot to tell you that there is a DVD version of the music video that I gave you. Now everything is synchronised. I'll give it to you in December. See you!

Dennis, Lany & Diego

AQUA BOY

We wanted to go swimming, but we have to make sure that our son will not be scared of the water. After sitting in the tub for a few minutes he was making big splashes (look at the drops of water on the left side). And why won't he love the water? His dad is from Navotas.

MOSHI MOSHI!

Thanks to the availability of ingredients here we were able to make our own sushi.
