manang melo, WKL and noypi

mom left for bacolod saturday early morning--first flight to attend borgy's graduation and to visit. before dad, left he was asking me if i wanted to go so he could buy me ticket too. i said i didn't but now i wish i did. it's not that there was nothing to do here at home but after i called victorias and mom made me talk to manang melo ( i did the talking because all she can say is BA BA BA) now i wish i came to visit her too. to whoever is reading this blog entry, please include her in your prayers.

i didn't go out saturday which was quite unusual. since mom is on "vacation" and the maid is on "vacation" too, i decided to just stay home and do my mom's bilin.

and then i watched wish ko lang(WKL). i really enjoy watching it because it always makes me feel good and it reminds me of the many blessings i get. yesterday was mang jimmy's turn of the limelight. he is so called the "taong alimango" bec of how is hands and feet are....they are like those of a crab. they believed that he was like that because of the alimango his mom loves to eat while pregnant with him. but what struck me was that he was not the only one like that in the family. 2 of his sisters and a number of his pamangkins were like that too. when WKL sent him to the doctors, they said that it was a single gene abnormality. but inspite of his physical abnormality, he still sees to it that he works for a living. horray!!! atleast he works and he is not just on the streets of metro manila begging for money. he walks without slippers or shoes, he bikes around and sells ice candy (yummy!!) and does frames for pictures. hats off to him!

and since i was glued on TV, i was able to see the mtv and hear the song of bamboo (former lead vocalist of rivermaya). the song si sooo true and like the title "NOYPI" it is truly PINOY! to all those filipino's abroad who says they would never go back and live here in the philippines again because of our living conditions here--HA! that's not true!!! there would be no place like home! what i liked best from the song is this line:

Tingnan mo iyong palad
Kalyado mong kamay sa hirap ng buhay
Ang dami mong problema, nakuha mo pang ngumiti
Noypi ka nga, astig

PINOY, MABUHAY KA! but i don't mind going to other countries for vacations(hehehehe....)
