The right to refuse .. (sa 'PINAS to ha..)
Please pass this on to your wife, girlfriends; and ladies, you may want to
forward this to any female relatives who may need to know this important
information.
I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. We were discussing the law and
women`s rights. She told me about this incident - a young girl was raped by
a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police
station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver`s license to
show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to
accompany him to the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area
where the horrendous crime was committed.
In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the
right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has
been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be
arrested between 6 pm and 6 am ONLY IF she is arrested by a woman officer
and taken to an ALL-WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male
officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time
of arrest.
It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use
remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power.
Just thought I`d share this with you.
I did not know this and am sure lot of us will not know this - please be
informed.... And pass on this info to everyone you know.......
I am but a simple girl. Mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko. So here is a list of simple things that make me “happy” lately:
Counting my blessings everyday…
It’s just quarter before noon, and yet I’m already swearing to the heavens for how the day is turning out.
I just had caught Bus 139 when I suddenly remembered not blowing off the candle on my shelf beside the bed. Since the candle was above a stack of books, the mental image of the lit candle toppling over and burning the books then the curtains, then the bed, then our unit, then the whole condo flashed before my eyes (and consequently me being thrown to prison… flashes of Flor Contemplacion followed), so I hurriedly alighted at the next bus stop, which, thankfully, was just before the flyover. Running to the condo, I swore my very heavy backpack and my incapacity to not pack too much stuff for rowing this evening.
When I got to the condo, lo and behold, I couldn’t open the frigging gate because my housemates had already left, and of course, locked the gate. I had to lend the gate key to my roommate because I was going home late tonight (because of rowing), and we hadn’t duplicated the key (ang mahal kasi. Imagine, $12 for a frigging piece of metal…). By this time, my positively heeeeeaaaaaaavy backpack has positively worn me out.
To spare myself from the ire of my housemates (from having left the candle burning and not having the key copied, and possibly having burned the condo down), I called up my roommate so that I can meet her and get the gate key. But first, I had to inform my Project Manager that I couldn’t make it to the office this morning. Off I went to Paya Lebar MRT station and the saga to my roommate’s office began. Her office was somewhere near the
The only saving grace of this whole brouhaha was the very nice cabbie who didn’t complain when I gave hazy directions and who didn’t charge another flag-down when I asked him to go back to the Paya Lebar MRT station after picking up the key from my roommate. He was even willing to listen to my story, and told me that going back was the right thing to do.
At the MRT station, I faintly heard a siren going off and my heart skipped a lot of beats (no, not just A beat). From the MRT platform, I saw that the siren came from an ambulance, and not a fire truck, passing by. (Me and my imagination. Paya Lebar is sooooo far from my condo. Surely there had to be another fire station near our place). Still, I couldn’t keep myself from fretting unnecessarily (which is also hereditary).
When I finally alighted at my bus stop, I checked the sky for dark smoke coming from a burning building. There was none. But still, I ran, heavy backpack and all. I got to our unit. No smoke was emanating from the crack between the door and the floor. Not even a whiff. I opened my bedroom door.
The freakin’ candle wasn’t even lighted.
I was sooooooooo relieved, yet irked at the same time. Relieved that I didn’t burn the condo down, hence sparing myself from doing a Flor-Contemplation-story, and irked (at myself) that the memory of blowing off the candle escaped me (again, this is hereditary). Having caught my breath and calmed down, I wanted to bawl over and bang my very stupid head on the floor.
The day isn’t even half done yet and I’m already sooo freakin tired…
Moral for the day: don’t light stupid scented candles in the morning when you’re hurrying to the office. You wouldn’t notice the scent anyway, and even if you did, it wouldn’t take away the stress of the early morning rush.
OR have the key duplicated already.
OR go see a shrink.

Take the Rate My Life Quiz
Life: Your life rating is a score of the sum total of your life, and accounts for how satisfied, successful, balanced, capable, valuable, and happy you are. The quiz attempts to put a number on the summation of all of these things, based on your answers. Your life score is reasonably high. This means that you are on a good path. Continue doing what is working and set about to improve in areas which continue to lag. Do this starting today and you will begin to reap the benefits immediately.
Mind: Your mind rating is a score of your mind's clarity, ability, and health. Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is not bad, but could be improved upon. Your mental health is not weak, but you are not achieving full mental clarity and function. Learn how to unclutter your mind. Keep learning, keep improving, continue moving forward.
Body: Your body rating measures your body's health, fitness, and general wellness. A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. You have an excellent body score, which means you are incredibly focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Continue in that focus, and your body will remain healthy and strong.
Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score is relatively high, which means you are rewarded by your beliefs. Spirituality is clearly important to do. Never let it slip, and continue to learn and grow.

wow, di ako makap-react ng maayos. pero it seems madami na ang galit about this. how dare the writes make some off-hand comment like that. such ignoramuses...
...
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is think and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

currently my role models. see them at Barstool Sports.
Mejo "macho" (to the point of being bastos) nga lang ang tone ng article. But he may be telling the truth.
These are chicks of brawn and beauty. So who says that these two should be mutually exclusive?

enviable hotness.
"If I had my life to live over,
I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax;
I'd limber up.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances.
I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.

I’m up there waiting for you to come down the aisle
And I know that you don’t want to come
I know you don’t want to come
But that you’ll come anyway because you love me
and if I love you
if I love
You
not the woman that I’m trying to make you be
not the woman that I hope you’d become
but you
if I did, I wouldn’t be up there waiting for you
I would be letting you go.
… I really wish that you didn’t think
I wish that you knew.

I could promise to hold you and cherish you
I could promise to be there in sickness and in health
I could say till death do us part
But I won’t
Those vows are for optimistic couples
The ones full of hope
And I do not stand here on my wedding day
optimistic or full of hope
I am not optimistic, I am not hopeful
I am sure
I am steady
And I know
I am a heart man
I take them apart, I put them back together
I hold them in my hands
I am a heart man
So this I am sure
you are my partner, my lover, my very best friend
My heart, my heart beats for you
And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this
I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands
I promise you
Me

I was right
I swear I believed what I did was right
I don’t want you to forgive me
Frankly I’d find it patronizing if you did
Because while I know I was right
You think I’m wrong
Which doesn’t matter
Because I’m in this
I’m in this for the long haul
And I’m in this to finish the race
So if that means I don’t win this one
Then fine, I don’t win
You win.

today, the Eagles lost against the Archers ...
why does the basketball team have this psychological problem? Just when the team makes a big win, a bigger slump is almost always sure to follow. I have noticed this pattern for years now, starting when the team got strong circa late-1990's (nung nasa college pa ako). And this problem persists even with the string of stellar coaches and players.
Is it a problem of over-confidence? Caving in the pressure to perform? Angst or pamimilosopiya about not deserving the win? Kulang sa libog or sa Viagra? Or baka sobra naman tapos naubos dahil nag-celebrate ng panalo?
It's clearly not a physical problem. It's all in their heads.
heck, win or lose, it's the school I CHOOSE. ANIMO!
nothing more needs to be said.
1. run silly under the rain
2. feel the wind in my hair
3. bury my feet under Bora's cool, white, fine sand
4. spend an entire day lazing on the beach
5. eat Margherita pizza and drink ice cold San Miguel while watching the sun set
6. reach the peak of Mt. Apo
7. not stop dreaming
8. be understood
9. be patient
10. try new things
11. remember
12. stop being busy and just live
13. make things less complicated
14. be left alone ... sometimes
15. have more time
16. grow up but not grow old
NOT-SO-VITAL STATISTICS
I posted the entry below on Jul 7, '06 6:22 AM.
After 1 year, 1 month, and 20 days, I'm proud to say that I've finally achieved my ideal weight (operative word = "my"). Still working on the "statistics" though. Hahahaa.
What did I do?
- went to
- nakakatamad magluto for 1 person, so di na rin ako masyadong nagluluto (at kumakain) sa house ngayon
- commute and walk to work/home carrying 2 kilos-worth of laptop and kikay stuff for approx 2 hours a day
- less rice & carbs
- fruit or salad (no mayo) for dinner
- normal meal for lunch
- 1 piece of toast, with minimal spread, and 1 cup of non-fat milk for breakfast
Surprising results. And I didn't have to give up my once-a-month Ruffles and dark chocolate craving.
So kung gusto nyong pumayat, pumunta na rin kayong
