My sister is selling part of her accessories collection. They are either hand-made or great finds. Check them out, there are some pretty nifty-looking items there.
I just learned that Beng Liwanag, who was a supplier to my previous company, was brazenly shot while driving to work, in broad daylight, and in a busy street intersection at that! It’s quite clear that criminals these days are not afraid to commit crimes because law enforcement is so ineffective.
Reminds me of when I was at the canonical interview. The interviewing priest, upon learning I hale from the south, commented how dangerous it is there. I wanted to say that the city is just as if not worse but I held my tongue. But yes, it is.
My condolences to Beng’s family.
I learned from Elwyna’s blog about a cat kitten killing UP student. The guy, Joseph Carlo Candare, said on his blog– yes, he even had the gall to blog about it– that he took the kitten by its tail and threw it to the ground, then “like a pro wrestler” jumped and stomped on it. I wonder how he would fare against a REAL pro wrestler. He’s a shame to all UP students, he’s even worse than the infamous rumbling frat men.
The UP administration should be filtering out student applicants with psychotic tendencies (Ooops! If that was the case I probably wouldn’t have gotten in :P). But worse, they’re not even taking action against someone who is ovbiously disturbed and has in fact broken the law, the Animal Welfare Act to be exact. He needs punishment or, at the very least, mental therapy.
Make UP act! Sign the petition!
Michelle and I went to faraway Nasugbu, Batangas for our canonical interview and pre-canna seminar. While registering at the parish office, I realized I forgot the keys inside the car. The canonical interview was about to start so there was pretty much nothing we could do.
Right after the interview, we asked around for a locksmith. We eventually ended up asking some cops and one of them called and even went to fetch a locksmith he knows. Unfortunately, the guy was off on some errand and we had no choice but to wait. When he finally arrived, one of the cops accompanied all of us to the church parking lot where the car was.
The locksmith got on with unlocking the door with a tensioner and a pick. It was slow going but it’s comforting to know that for my car locks, it’s not as easy as using a wire as I’ve seen done on a friend’s car. Eventually, he succeeded in turning the lock but he found out he was turning it the wrong direction! So he started again on the other direction, gave up, moved to the other door and eventually succeeded.
Once the door was open, the cop checked my license and registration which was a good thing: he’s doing his job. Once he was satisfied, I thanked him and he left. I paid the locksmith, thanked him, and he too left. It was a just modest amount and at least I didn’t have to go back home just to get my spare key. Whew!
Michelle and I we’re on the way to Tagaytay for a photo shoot when we heard over the radio that Pacquiao won. On the second round, no less. Soon as I got home, I downloaded the fight. It helped that the coverage was only for two round so in just a short while I was already watching the fight. What can I say? Pacquiao was awesome! He literally demolished Hatton. He just keeps getting better and better.
