The Hayden Halili Landslide

Let me just say that I have not watched the video. Maybe I’m one of the few Filipino’s out there who has not seen it. To the others, I applaud you for not having watched it.

I am yet again embarrassed by our nationality. For the simple fact that this issue has ballooned so much that we have ignored a lot of more important and pressing issues. Our government has fed on this issue like tilapia fish on bread starving for a month.  It seems as if this issue drives our economy and our progress. I rarely ever snarl on my blog. I am not an angry person but this whole video scandal BS is effing irritating me.

Now it has died down. Thank you Jesus. You have truly saved us yet another time. Now we get to go back into focus. Focus on things that have true bearing and weight on our national standing.

Plus if they just dealt with it like Paris Hilton did they wouldn’t have to spend on lawyers and all that make up.

Erap for President

Should we say “Here we go again???”

Yes we should. We will once again be fooled by the same person who was already put to jail. I boycott him as early as now. I boycott you if you vote for him.

Fu**it list

I read this somewhere, if a bucket list is one that consists of things you would want to do, a list like this is the exact opposite.

1. lose weight

2. do admin

3.  this list…

 

haha..I will get back to you when I have more for this nonsensical list.

The Heat

The heat is on. So to speak. It is soooooo HOT! Its face melting, hair hardening, gut crunching, ball sweating hot! I woke up with a cool head and it all changed right after I stepped out of the  bath. I was hugged by a wall of heat and as you may guess, it was downhill after that. The heat today was like doing laundry on a rainy day. It just is shitty.

To make matters worse, the wife and I had a whole itinerary planned out. Things we had to do that were not by choice but obligation so even if we didn’t want to, we had to brave the desert like heat. So after being greeted by a wall of heat out of the bathroom, I was sweatdressing (my newly coined word for sweating while dressing up). Imagine putting antperspirant on a perspiring armpit or deodorizing an already odorfilled armpit. It was like applying deodorant on sweat. Kind of beats the purpose. Like this is not even the main point of dismay here. So off we go. We embarked on our proud “Grimey 1″ which at this time doubled as an oven. An oven for cooking rice cakes. Heat from above and heat from the bottom. I swear.

Apologies for this bombardment of negativity, I know you understand how I feel.

I state

I state that the life I now live is a glorious and a fulfilled one. Though undeniably I also have to state along with that initial statement that it truly sometimes feels like a rat race. Keeping up with the Jones’ . A real Filipino cliche. I mean I work to pay. I pay to live. I live to work to pay to live again.

This came about because I was pondering this morning as I was standing and looking(if you have noticed I am doing all 3 things at the same time, genius.tsk tsk.) at my 85% done bathroom.

Without you asking I will fill you in. We have been constructing this thing for a good uhmmmm…4 or 5 months running. We have spent a hefty amount of loans. Loans mind you. Meaning money that isn’t ours and were still not able to use what we spent it for. See the idea when you make a loan is you should be able to acquire and use what you spend the money for to get your ROI. If you are not going to invest it in a business. If you do not do this you are now loosing money because you are paying interest without getting anything out of it. Amen. Financial lesson closed.

Back to the bathroom. After several carpenters and now a painter who happens to be a guy I seriously applaud and is now done with his task, I am at 85%. We are hoping to close this construction business within 6 months or bust. We just need a few more things. A few more things another loan can’t handle.

Ah…As the old saying goes. Why pay cash when you can do terms.
