Sharing is Caring

I wasn't born with a silver spoon. Heck, not even silver nor gold plated. Hehe. I never had big, cool toys during my formative years. I remembered asking my mom for a V-tech when I was 8 years old because one of my classmates had one but because we can't afford it, my mom told me to make do with what I had. And what I had back then were those paper cut-out dolls that you can buy at the neighborhood sari-sari store.

My mom taught me early on in life that there are other things that are far more important than high-tech toys and Barbie dolls. I remembered when I was 18 years old, I had to cancel my debut. We helped a relative get through an operation and the money that we should've spent on the party, we gave to them instead. She didnt leave me high and dry, of course we still had a mini-celebration to welcome me into adulthood. We had a fancy candlelit dinner, just the three of us - my mom, my dad and me. I didn't feel bitter because she explained to me that helping someone in need is more important than throwing a lavish party.

My mom has always been the epitome of kindness. She's well loved by many because of that and also because of her jovial spirit and her optimism. I look up to her because no matter how little we have, she still finds ways to help others when she can. Her motto "Mabuti nang tayo ang hinihingian kesa tayo ang nanghihingi." (TRANSLATE: 'Tis better to give than to ask. Hehe! 'Langyang translation yan!)

Last year, instead of having a party, I spent my birthday in Golden Acres - a facility for the aged and the elderly. I brought food for the oldies and spent time talking to them and listening to their stories. They told me stories of how their sons and daughters left them there. That some promised to visit, but they never did.

We arent rich but God makes up for it in more ways than one and my birthday was the perfect time to pay it forward. It was a very humbling experience for me and I was lucky to have shared that afternoon with my mom and dad.

Thank you for instilling in me the values that I have today, Mom. Thank you for being a rolemodel of kindness, perseverance and optimism. You are the greatest. I love you and Happy Birthday!

The Black Sheep,

P.S. Don't worry, I will take care of you and dad even until they day that you become senile. I was only kidding when I told you I'd leave you in Golden Acres once you start showing signs of dementia! Hehehe!

Prosti-Dude

It's the rainy season once again! Single ladies like me (?!) loathe this time of the year. Picture this - patter of the rain on the window, dark skies, wind as chilly as December air in New York and you only have your cheap comforter to give you warmth. Pathetic right? Right!  

No one to hug when you get scared of the thunder. No one to cuddle when you feel cold. No hand to reach when you want to feel tingly and warm. 

Morbid! 

No boytoy around and you're in heat? Why not pay for it! :p Hehehe!

Prosti-Dude

Let me introduce you, my unpure girlies, to "Markus". He is the first legal male "hooker" in the US. He charges $200 for his services. And take note girls, that is only for a 40-minutes "service". Wow. That's like Php 12,000!!! Freaking cow! I can buy lots of clothes for that amount! "Markus" is a 25 years old ex-Marine and his string of costumers include spinsters, divorcees, and hot, adventurous cougars (and lonely single feisty bloggers. Hahahaha!)! 

** Pouty lips, puppy-dog eyes, chest as hard (or as soft?) as pandesal in the early morn! YUM!

He is the first ever male prostitute to join the stable of the infamous Shady Lady Ranch, a Nevada brothel. "Markus" shared that he had a dysfunctional relationship with his mom and it was through prostitution that he found the 'intimacy' that he lacked while he was growing up.

Prosti-Dude's Quotable Quotes

“Everything looks great down there.”

“I’m not a hooker, I'm a surrogate lover."

“I’ve healed people.”

“Women can be a prostitute. But not men.”

DISCLAIMER : This post is intended for comic relief. The blog owner does not condone prostitution. (But I may have a different stand 10 years from now, LOL!)

Nestlé's I Choose Wellness Expo 2010

The Mission: Responsibility for Lifestyle Decisions

All roads lead to SM Megamall for Nestlé Philippines'  I CHOOSE WELLNESS EXPO. Nestlé is a globally recognized brand and has never failed to continue championing the advocacy of nutrition, health and wellness over the last 144 years.  From infant milk to healthcare nutrition to performance nutrition - you name it, they have it! The I CHOOSE WELLNESS EXPO is a celebration for people from all age groups and their responsibility to choose wellness in their lifestyle decisions.

The Event

The expo runs from July 3 and 4. I went there on the first day and man, the place was packed to the brim! It was a good thing that the event was well-organized and that people were let in by batches. Entrance was free and it was nice to see people from all walks of life attending the event. 

The Booths

Did I tell you that I loooove freebies? OMG, I think I just had a freebie-overload that day. Hahaha! Almost all the major brands of Nestlé Philippines participated in the event. 

They have games for kids.

 Not to be outdone, they also have activities lined up for the kids-at-heart!

 I had a fun time watching this old lady dance to the hula! Crazeeee!

Cooking Demo! Yum-yum!

Laki sa Gatas! Laking BearBrand ako! Hahaha 

 Ito lang ang Nestle product na ndi ko tinikman! LOL! 

The Main Event

There were lots of nice-looking people in the expo. If drinking/eating Nestle products will make me this pretty and sexy, boy, I'd say bring it on! LOL! :) Feast your eyes out, my unpure friends. 

She's such a cutie, I love her! (from the Fruit Selection Yogurt booth)

If drinking Nesvita will make me this gawd-geous, I'll start drinking it, now na! :-)

For One More Day

I'm happy
I know I shouldn't be feeling this way
But I am
It's undeniable
For the first time in a long while
I'm happy
I know I shouldn't be feeling this way
And it's not just
the shallow type of happiness
it goes far beyond that
I'm happy
I know I shouldn't be feeling this way
But please, even for one more day
Let the feeling linger
Although I shouldn't be feeling this way

I'm no Superwoman after all

I'm sick! Ugh. I hate getting sick. I hate drinking meds. Life's too short to spend my days in bed, being sick.

I'm a closet masochist. I sometimes like to see how far I could push my body to the limit. I went to work 8PM Friday night.

I eat alot of junk at work to keep me awake all night long!

And then I got off work 5AM, Saturday. I went home, took a shower and rested for a bit then went to school for my 7:30AM class.

Cute ng hardbound notebook ko no? I had it customized to show my inital! LOL! National Bookstore ran out of Juday/Piolo notebooks that's why I just settled for this. Hehe!

I went about my business but I was already feeling sick that time. I was only trying to dismiss  it because I was having fun in school... It was nice to be with friends and classmates again after the 2 months-summer break. My class was until 4pm. Whew!

I got home around 6pm with a slight headache. I decided to sleep it off because I needed to wake up early for our beach outing the following day.

I woke up 5am, Sunday with a stuffy nose and a terrible headache. :( Took meds and hoped that I will turn out okay during the rest of the day.

My friends and I trooped to Subic for one last summer hoorah. It was a 2-hour drive and I just slept the whole time, hoping that it will help alleviate my condition.

Ayan, pa-beach beach pa kase.. LOL!

I forgot for a while that I was feeling sick because I was in the company of good friends. Plus the weather was good. Everything seemed purrfect!

Ang lakas ng alon, grabe! :)

May sakit na nga nakuha pang mag-pose. Tsk tsk tsk!

I took this shot, nice right?

I had a very busy weekend, with barely enough sleep, that's why I feel like shit Monday morning. Sigh. Now I'm taking antibiotics and meds for my cough and colds. I'm no superwoman after all.

Hope everyone's having a better week than I am! Stay dry, ok?

Achooooo,
