saying bye-bye

I had my first (and perhaps, my last ???) MOTY experience. It was a nerve-warping experience (hahaha!)... anyways, masaya naman. I got to mingle with one of the winners, Ms. Saturnina Diez. I fetched her together with her loan officer from the airport. Ms. Diez's story was familiar to me because I was asked by my office to provide subtitles to her statements in the video. Ms. Diez is from Cebu, and she's a vegetable and fruit farmer. Her story is quite inspiring. Imagine, her husband used to work as a farmer/tenant of a certain land lord (and they solely depend on the husband's income) ... but because of her entrepreneurial intelligence, now they farm their own land and they even provide income to their neighbors/ community. She wanted her children to finish their studies, because it was something that she and her husband did not achieve. Nanay was quite shy. It was her first time to go to Manila, and she said that she has relatives here. In one of our exchanges, I to...

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has promised to shoulder the burial expenses. “We have given her parents about P5,000,” Social Welfare Secretary Esperanza Cabral said. Napakacrappy ng act na to... 5,000 and a burial and other financial assistance... so temporal... what the Philippines need is not the strong economy as GMA insists that we are actually having... go down to where poverty is felt to the bones... answer the issues existing there... try living there, let see if you would not reconsider committing suicide... irony of all ironies: you could pay those who can implement your dirty tactics, but you have failed to make some poor girl's dream come true... ahmm ELITE THEORY din eh?! frustrating.

I have grown to love the bibingkas made in Mindanao. I find them yummy (very yummy), specially the ones made in Sulop, Padada, Davao Del Sur. When, I started living here in Luzon, I find their version of bibingkas weird (although, they really taste naman talaga). It's just that my tongue prefers the bibingka i have grown up with. During my short trip to Mindanao, I really did not mind eating lots of bibingkas. Savoring its taste to the max. I think it's made up of malagkit rice and has buko. I like it when it's a little bit sunog. Tastes even yummier.

just because... no, it's not just a just because... it's because it's sir larry's bday celebration and because we're in his office... and because we have some government-related chikas and personal lives' updates... (ay ... just someone's personal life lang pala..)

yes, he is one and he is walking and he laughs and giggles a lot... and he is growing up to be one lovely baby. :P wala lang... :P un lang! :P
