Binay Admitted his infidelity

Dear insansapinas,


A month ago, I read a blind-item news about a candidate in a top position who was caught by the politician-wife having another woman in his life.


The clues were: hhis wife is also a politician; there is a son who's also running for a local position.


Now it can be told:

JOJO ACUIN DIED AT 63

Dear insansapinas,
Remember Jojo Acuin? The Nostradamus of Asia? He died of cardiac arrest after he was brought to the hospital due to pneumonia and complications of diabetes.


Pumanaw na ang tinaguriang Nostradamus ng Asya na si Jojo Acuin nitong Huwebes habang nakaratay sa Philippine Heart Center.

Dinala umano si Acuin, (Jose Maria Villanueva Acuin), 63-anyos, sa ospital noong Marso 19. Nagkaroon umano ito ng pneumonia bukod pa sa dating sakit nito na diabetes, ayon sa online news ng Journal.com.ph.
It must be scary for him to know that his end is near.


What is scarier is seeing the signs in dreams and in waking moments.


After 2007, I closed my antenna. The visions are now coming to my dreams. Before I went on a vacation early this year, i dreamed of losing my luggage. Then i saw a lot of unfamiliar faces.

It all happened.  The scene was in Detroit airport. My luggage was dropped to the conveyor belt by my assistant before we learned that my flight has been cancelled. The Reagan Airport was closed due to winterstorm. The unfamiliar faces were those of Filipinos I met in the hotel where I checked in while waiting for the resumption of the flights. What was weird was when the woman in my dream asked for a medication from me. Yep, a woman who left her medication asked for a hypertension pill.

There were more but I rather not discuss them. 

So you are asking me who is going to win in the presidential election? I rather not because there are things that are indicative of repeating history.

Dahil sa survey na ito, atat na atat na si Noynoy na umupo na Presidente dahil panalo na siya. Pag hindi siya nanalo ibig sabihin dinaya siya. Duh.


Kaya raw magpepeople power na naman. Ows. Parang nawala ang magic ng people power na kahit pangalang Aquino noon ay hindi makahakot ng tao at kung hindi ginagawa ni Binay na doon sa Makati at isasabay sa mga labasan ng mga empleyado, langaw ang aabutin nila.


Kung gusto rin naman siyang manalo para;

Sala sa Init, Sala sa Lamig

Dear insansapinas,


Ang lamig dito ngayon. Parang bumalik ang Pasko na wala si Santa Claus kung hindi yong lamig lang. Hindi ko naman mabuksan ang heater namin. Centralized yon at ang pabago-bago ng weather ay parang may PMS o nagmemenopause na babae. Minsan malamig, minsan mainit. At mga ilang daang milyahe dito, nabasa ko na sa Virginia Beach ba yon ay nag he HAIL. yong mga yelong bato na pag tinamaan ka sa tuktok,patay ang kuto.


Kaya kahapon nakababad ako sa shower. Ano kanyo, naloloca na ako at kailangan ko na ang psychiatric evalution? Hindi, mainit ang shower. Yong pwede kang magdala ng mug at tsaa dahil sa init ng tubig na ginagamit ko. Kulang na lang malapnos ang balat ko. Pagbaba ko nga sa shower, ang mga salamin ay hindi mo makita sa fog at ang aking balat ay namumula kahit na ako ay maitim.


Naah, hindi ako nagbabad sa bath tub. May phobia ako sa tubig. Ilang beses na akong muntik nang malunod. hindi ako marunong lumangoy. nyahaha.


Noong nasa Pampanga kami nakatira, kapitbahay namin Puti. Naah, hindi kami sa base nakatira. Yong Puti ang nakatira sa labas ng base.


May mga kalaro kami noon si Debra at si Donald. meron silang bathtub. So request din ako sa pader ko. Gumawa naman siya. Hinati niya yong drum at pinuno niya ng tubig at inilagay sa aming backyard. Double purpose pa, pagkatapos naming maligo, ginagawang pangdilig ng mga halaman sa likod. Sabi nina Donald, "why are you eating grass". Nakita niya kasi ang mader ko na kumukuha ng talbos kamote tapos nakita niyang inihain sa amin as salad. nakikain ang mga puting yon sa bahay.



So balik tayo sa aking bath tub. Paglabas ko ng banyo, para akong sinampal ng hanging nanggaling sa freezer. Yah ang lamig.

Tatlong layers and suot ko. Habang tumatagal, umiinit ang klima kaya para naman akong ahas na nagbabawas ng balat.

Mothers and Touched by God

Dear insansapinas,

I am a softie when it comes to mothers because I am also a mother. Ang ayaw ko ay ang ginagamit ng mother ang kanilang anak para sa kanilang kapakanan. Kaya nga inis ako kay Kris Aquino noong ginagamit niya si Baby James.


Ayaw ko ring ginagamit ng mga anak ang kanilang magulang sa kanilang kapakanan kaya inis ako noong ginagamit ni Erap ang nanay niyang nakaratay sa katandaan.

FBI Nabs Filipino Home loan fixers

 Dear insansapinas,

It was in 2005 when the talk about new houses bought dominated Filipino gatherings. Even the single-incomeslashminimumslash wage earners can afford to buy a $ 600,000 house which originally cost $ 150,000. No down payment, low interest for the first three years. All the while it was the real estate people who were making the killing. With overpriced houses, their commissions can afford them to buy Mercedez Benz Sports Car. You pity yourself when you are a fixed income-9-5 corporate slave.
Ipapamukha pa saiyo. Kagaya ng kaibigan ko na nagkuwento na sinundo pa raw siya sa airport ng BMW. Parang gusto niyang sabihin wala kang BMW, hah. A year later, bankrupt na siya and my friend did not even bother to welcome her in her house when she made a visit. Friends!!!


A relative of a toxic person won't pick up the landline. He was applying for a home loan and the family pretended that they have a home-based business. Na wala naman. Para lang maapprove sa bangko.


Ngayon, I heard that all of the people I know (ang yayabang pa) lost their homes. Panalangin ko noon maparusahan ang mga home loan fixers. Ang daming inaway ako when I was advising some friedns not to buy if they do not have the money. Kasi ang palaging reason nila, tutubo sila pagtumaas ang halaga ng bahay. Kumita nga sila but it is not even enough to pay for interests which had gone up after the low interest-period had passed.


Ito ang balita.



The 10 suspects of confirmed Filipino ethnicity are: real-estate agents Vangeline Broyles, 46, Redwood City; Maria Comfort, 46, Daly City; Jeanie Cusing, 48, San Mateo; Wilfredo Pascual, 51, Daly City; Gina Tchikovani, 43, Redwood City; Leonora Pomar, 56, Colma; Marilyn Infante, 66, San Francisco; Norberto Agustin, 51, Daly City; John Bernabe, 42, Redwood City; and Clarin Tambot-Querimit, 29, Daly City.


US Attorney Joseph Russoniello was quoted by media as saying last week that between 2005 and 2009, the suspects were “obtaining or using false documents to submit to lenders, exaggerating [loan applicants’] income and assets, understating [their] liabilities, and providing false employment records and/or false banking information [of applicants].”

Schadler added that the loans arranged and facilitated by the accused, using fraudulent documentation, amounted to at least $10 million and have all since defaulted.

What is wrong with humanity

 Dear insansapinas,
He tried to help but was stabbed instead. No one helped him as he was lying on the pavement dying, except for an immigrant.

NEW YORK - The homeless man lay face down, unmoving, on the sidewalk outside an apartment building, blood from knife wounds pooling underneath his body.
One person passed by in the early morning. Then another, and another. Video footage from a surveillance camera shows at least seven people going by, some turning their heads to look, others stopping to gawk. One even lifted the homeless man's body, exposing what appeared to be blood on the sidewalk underneath him, before walking away.
It wasn't until after the 31-year-old Guatemalan immigrant had been lying there for nearly an hour that emergency workers arrived, and by then, it was too late. Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax — who police said was stabbed while intervening to help a woman being attacked — had died.

Hopia

Dear insansapinas,
I have been taking a break for a week now from my textbook project. Parang kagaya noong tapos ka ng review sa Board na ayaw mong hawakan ang mga libro. They need my answers to my questions and problems at the back of the chapter. Sus, pinahirapan ko tapos ngayon maghihirap akong magsolve.  So nagtataka kayo bakit ang dali sa mga professor ang sumagot. Kasi meron silang kopya ng sagot na prinovide ng author. Hahaha.


Dadaan pa yon sa textbook committee. Pag dumaan yon sa mga educators, alam ko ang mga comments doon, yong mga learning objectives. Di naman sila makakacomment sa mga concepts, di nila alam. Kagaya noong gumagawa ako ng libro, may textbook committee na sa College at may textbook sa university level.


Anyway may input pa raw ang partner ko. Hoke. 


In the meantime, I am waiting for the Dancing with the Stars while eating hopia na galing sa Binondo. Naah, binili ng kapatid ko sa Filipino store.


Ang babaw ng kaligayahan ko. noh. Tapos sinasabihan akong elitista. I may be weird but I am not an elitist, whatever that means. My partner in the textbook lives in an exlusive village in Makati with a spa inside the house. Pero kita mo naman pag kumain kami ng litsong manok sa floor na ang aming sapin ay diyaryo lang habang kinuconceptualize namin ang mga seminar.


My other partner is from Ayala Alabang. So we call her Alabang girl, pero kumakain kami ng lumpia na binibili namain sa Divisoria at kinakain sa mga pasillo habang naghahanap kami ng mga bargain na kukurrtinahin.

Noong nagsashopping kami sa Indonesia at Singapore na kasama ko ang aking Best Friend Forever na VP ng isang bangko sa Makati, wala akong hiyang sumasalampak sa mall. Muntik na akong limusan. Tumatawa lang ang kasama ko. Mas humble pa nga ang mga iyon kaysa sa mga trying hard na makaimpress na mga bloggers.  


Ako elitista ? may pagka reserve siguro pero I never treated the housekeeper of my ex-husband's family as help.

Subtle bang magyabang? No hindi lang trying hard.

Dear insansapinas,


Pag talagang matiyaga lang akong sumagot sa birada sa akin, maraming lalabas ang katangahan. Isa nagcomment pala ako sa isang entry tungkol sa IPO, initial public offering. Susme, kulang na lang na batuhin ako ng buong bahay. Pulitika pa rin ang dahilan when all the while, kinokorek ko lang na sa IPO, walang pinag-uusapang dividends o magbebenta ng shares of stock ang existing stockholders.


KAYA NGA IPO eh.. Initial Public offering. Ibig sabihin, inoffer sa public ang shares of stock. Isa pa nagcorrect sa akin tungkol sa fair market value of stock. Wala raw yon. Sa Real estate raw lang yon. Husme ,pagkatapos kong sunugin ang aking kilay sa paggawa ng libro na nag-eexplain ng mga iba't ibang costing ng stock, sasampalin ako ng ganoong comment? yak yak yak.

At bakit yata mangkasangga si Erap at si Noynoy ngayon. Di ba sinabi naman ni Tita Cory na si Erap ang kinunsulta niya nang magshowbiz si Kris. 


Pero sa pakiwari ko sa dami ng black propaganda (sabi nila ha) kay Manny Villar, umaasa si Erap na maging number two at kung magkamaling magblink si Noynoy, baka maagaw pa sa kaniya ang pagkapresidente. Ahahay. Ganiyan lang naman sa pulitika, Walang hiyaan.


Tingnan mo si Mar Roxas, napailaliman na ni Escudero at ni Noynoy at ni Binay.

Controversial Arizona Immigration Law

Dear insansapinas,
Noong ako ay nasa California, meron doong isang street na maraming mga Latinong lalaki. Mga naghahanap sila ng trabaho. Hindi permanente, Kagaya nang kailangan mong papinturahan ang iyong bahay. Ipalinis ang bakuran at marami pang iba. Alam ng pulis na mga ilegal ang mga ito. Walang papel. Pero hindi sila madampot. Walang power ang police na hulihin ang mga ilegal kung hindi ang mga immigration police lang.


Sa Arizona ay pinirmahan na ng gobernador ang immigration law na puwedeng sitahin at hulihin ng pulis ang mga ilegal. Ang Arizona kasi ang may pinakamalaking problema sa mga ilegal na galing sa Mexico. Kahit gaano kataas ang bakod na ilagay, nakakapasok pa rin ang mga Ilegal galing sa Mexico. Anila ang karamihan sa mga ito ay may mga kaso.


Ano ang posibleng mangyari? pwedeng habang naglalakad ang isang taong hindi puti ang kulay at hindi marunong mag-English ay sitahin ng pulis, o kaya ay ang mga nagtatrabaho ay hanapan ng mga papeles.



Minsan ay nabangga kami ng isang truck. Ang nagmamaneho, latino. nang nagkaimbestigahan, peke pala ang driver's license at wala siyang insurance.

Good intentions alone are not enough

Dear insansapinas,


When someone wrote that what we just need is an honest president and everyone will follow, I should like to grab a mike and say, hello, Earth. If that was so, there will be no original sin; there will be paradise on earth.
Argh.


I admired Dr. Martin Bautista when he run for senator or congressman, the last time he made balikbayan in the Philippines. He is a green card holder.


When I read his advocacy, the statue fell into pieces. Good intention but clueless. He should have taken a crash course in Public Administration.


Imagine, his suggestion: roll eyes.


he wants to reduce the infrastructure budget by 90% and redirect the money to increase salaries of health workers, teachers, and policemen to curb the migration of qualified workers. He wants to raise the pay of nurses to a minimum of P20,000 a month to give them just compensation for the health risk they are subjected to on a daily basis.

 Just so he can get the vote of these people, he's promising heaven which is not possible. Does he know what these infrastructures are? you got the roads, bridges, water supply, power grids, telecommunications, schools, hospitals. etc.


So malaki nga ang suweldo ng guro pero sa ilalim naman sila ng puno nagkalase. Malaki nga ang suweldo ng mga narses pero sa labas naman sila maggagamutan. ETC.


Sabi pa niya professionalixe raw ang mga teachers at mga healthcare workers. No ba ang ibig niyang sabihin noon? Eh may mga eligibility exam ang kinukuha niyan bago makapagpratise at bago makapagturo sa higj school o elementary may required pa silang masteral units.


At dahil siya ay green card holder, kailangang anim na buwan lang siyang magstay sa Pilipinas. Ibig sabihin kalahati lang ng terms niya ang iseserbisyo niya? DUH.

“We have to be more open-minded. This is not the time to harbor ill feelings. We can’t afford to be ill-tempered. There is no point in that. We have to be calm especially in the last few days when the nightmare scenarios could happen. We cannot be hotheaded,” Aquino said at a press conference.

Bird brain Not

Dear insansapinas,

Wala ng dumadapong pigeon at sa aming patio. May naliligaw na maliliit na ibon. Pero nang makitang sarado na ang kanilang nest, lumilipad na lang. 

Akala ko nagkaroon ng mass extermination ng pigeon. (Sa ibang siyudad kasi binabawasan ang pigeon population dahil sa damages na ginagawa nito sa mga building, sa duming iniiwan sa plaza (sa Europe protected sila) pero may nakita akong dalawa o tatlo sa isang building malapit sa amin. Sila ang tinatawag na rats with wings.

Yong pigeons sa lugar namin, meron silang bagong dinadapuan. Therefore I conclude na hindi sila bird brain. Lilipat na lang sila ng tirahan kaysa makipaghabulan sa akin.

I am not voting for Noynoy Aquino. BECAUSE I AM NOT A VOTER, Silly.


For me he is like a coconut. A coconut has a husk which is bigger than the fruit itself and a shell which is hard to crack to protect the soft meat and water inside.


Just like the coconut, Noynoy has also a lot of handlers to protect him from himself. hehehe, o kaya parang si Randy Santiago noon na may hawi boys. At si Manny Pacquiao na may team Pacquiao. Ang tawag yata diyan ay cordon sanitaire. Sinasanitized ang mga makakarating sa kaniya at yong manggaling sa kaniya na ikasisira sa Project ng maraming taong may vested interest--
The Making of a president who is not even a presidentiable. Wheeeee.


1. When he declared that he is not going to impose new taxes. My face turned into my face-that-I-am-not-impressed (that is raised one brow, mouth locked from corner to corner and eyes rolled sideways.


May be one of the hawi boys (cordon sanitaire ) told him that it is not possible, silly. Kaya bigla siyang atras. Taxes are not only meant for revenues, dahlings. It is also for restriction and protection purposes for the country's economy. Sometimes, these taxes serve as barriers for entry in a crowded market.


2. Yong ahensiya ng mga guwardiya na itinayo niya na ginawa pa niyang address ang Arlegui. Pangalan noon, BSA. Benigno Simeon Aquino or Best Security Agency. (double intendre?) . Sabi niya nopng una nagdivest daw siya nang naging presidente ang mother niya. Paano niya magagamit yong Arlegui address kung wala sila doon. Sabi sa isang balita nagdivest daw siya after two years.


Pag inilubog mo ang paa mo sa tubig, kahit na alisin mo kaagad ito, basa ka pa rin.
Kung baga sa Law and order yon yong series na may criminal intent.Sa kaso ng agency, there was the intention to influence agencies to take their security guards...should we say influence peddling? O di va, mga government controlled corporations and naging client nila. Isn't that graft?

NP spokesperson Gilbert Remulla scoffed at Aquino’s claim that he had divested from Best Security Agency (BSA) when his mother, Corazon Aquino, became president.

In an interview, Remulla said BSA’s Articles of Incorporation on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) showed the agency was formed in November 1986, well after Aquino’s mother had assumed the presidency.


3. Hacienda Luisita was bought using the loans granted to the Cojuangcos on the condition that it will be distributed to the farmers after ten years.


It's been decades and the Hacienda Luisita is still with the Cojuangcos who have gained a lot from the farm. In the meantime, the farmers had died poor and their children are still waiting. Why distribute it only in 2014?



4. I have dealt with people with disorder. When depression takes over, they could not function. So to me, the mental health of the presidentiable is crucial to leadership. Granting that the psychological evaluation report is bogus, his reactionto some negative news are not a character of a person who can lead 90 million  people.

Touch Me Not

Dear insansapinas,
When this new product innovation is produced on a commercial scale, many people would say Touch me not. Baka naman iba ang matouch.





Siguro ang inventor ay kagaya namin noon kung saan isinusulat namin ang telepono, messages at reminders sa aming palad.

Pagpunta sa toilet. Bura. yak yak yak

Fatigue

Dear insansapinas,
photocredit: MSNBC
Hindi ako makatayo kaninang umaga. Sakit ng aking likod at baywang. Pag may sinabi dahil tumatanda...na blah blah...huminto kayo. Ituturo ko ang aking daliri at gagawin ko kayong...palaka. kazaaam.


Frankly, ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang pagod at sakit. For more than a month, 15 hours a day, minsan 18 hours pa, ako ay nakayuko, nakatagilid o kaya ay nakabaluktot habang nagtatype at nag-babasa ng references.


Talo ko pa ang ang nakipagmarathon ng gantsilyuhan sa tumba -tumba. ahehehe.


So kung 45 days kong ginawa times 15 hours average, yon ay 675 hours. Kung ang average nang pagsusulat ay four hours a day lang, ito ay equivalents sa 84 days or two and one half months.


Noong una kong sinuulat ang libro ay taon ang inabot ko. Isa electric typewriter pa ang gamit ko noon. Ikawala, kailangan ko pang pumunta sa library para sa mga references ko. Ikatlo, may trabaho akong iba noon.


Ngayon ay full time kong ginawa, syempre kasama doon ang panonood ko ng mga TV series, ang pagkain ko ng sunflower seeds (mabuting pampurga) at ang pakikipaghabulan ko sa mga ibon.


Iba naman ang pagsulat ng textbook sa pagsulat ng nobela o kaya fiction. Doon kailangan kang mag-emote. Dito kailangan mong maintindihan ang concepts at ano ang hinihingi ng mga syllabi ng eskuwela. Tapos gagawa ka ng problems para bigyan ng sakit ng ulo ang mga istudyante. Priceless.


Sa tagal na paghawak mo ng subject, para ka ng printer na pag clinick mo ang print, lalabas na ang dapat mong iimprenta. Kaya ganoon ako. Habang dinidevelop ko ang mga topic, naalala ko ang aking paglelecture na kung minsan may kasama pang mga pag-emote din at pagpantomime. hehehe


Eniway. Kailangan na lang ipadala at ako ay bobo sa pag ZIP ng napakalaking file kaya kailangan ipagawa ko pa sa kapatid ko.


Paano kamo kung ipublish ng aking dating boss sa kaniyang pangalan? Konsensiya na lang niya yon. Dalawa pang libro ang gusto niyang ipagawa, siya rin. 

Para akong makinang huminto at nang huminto saka naramdaman ang fatigue. Uhrmm.  Nanaginip tuloy ako na naliligo sa ulan na nakabathing suit. Guffawww.

Faces

Dear insansapinas,

I am wearing the same face for the last few days. It is the roll- the eyes- skyward- and snap- the- cookie- after saying Duh.


1. when I read the news that de Venecia and Ramos are thinking of coalition with Noynoy's LP. So?


Si De Venecia ba naman. Kung saan mabango ang hangin doon siya. Duh.



2. When I watched the video clip of Katy Gosselin entitled TV teary breakdown of Katy, showing  teary eyed Katy Gosselin trying to earn  sympathy for being a single mom to more than a dozen children...blah blah while wiping the tears rolling down her smoothed well-made-up cheeks with her beautifully manicured hands. Is that for her book that would come out or for getting votes as Dancing with the Stars participant? Frankly, she does not know how to dance. It is similar to holding an electric pole and trying to make it bend and sashay.

I want to cry too but then I looked at my fingers. They are not beautifully manicured. These PR people. They want you to cry for their clients who do not want to lose their luxurious lifestyle. Duh.


3. When I read this headline...LJ Reyes plans to give birth in the U.S. my eyes did not stop rollin' . Bakit gustong maging citizen ang anak?


Why are they so proud of getting pregnant out of wedlock? It is not because I am a moral guardian but to use being pregnant as a publicity, sure makes me roll eyes skyward 'till you can not see the  black part.  There was even a piece of news in a broadsheet...sino ba siya? Ewan ko. Hindi naman kasi ako nanonood ng TFC at GMA. Then she said, binigay ng Diyos daw.


Sana sabihin ng Diyos. Ah wala akong kinalaman diyan. Remember Janice de Belen when she said something about her pregnancy with her son with Aga Muhlach? Yong kasama raw ba nila ang Diyos nang ginagawa nila yon ? Am not sure about the exact comment.
 4. When I read how Isabel what's her name again Lopez, the former Bb. Pilipinas who became more popular in the "FF" soft porn movies at the Film Center of the Philippines (was that the haunted building because of people who were buried alive during its construction?) lambasted the Bb. Pilipinas Charities...nah nah, I am not a fan of beauty contests) but to use that as a promotion of the Working Girls, ang tapang naman ng apog nila. Kasama na si Ruffa Gutierrez.


Roll eyes.

Roll eyes.

Extramarital Sex causes earthquakes and my diva moment, almost

 Dear insansapinas,
Another earthquake in Papua New Guinea . Must have been caused by extramarital sex.  
Don't look at me. I did not say that. 
Here:

TEHRAN—A senior Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital sex, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported on Saturday.
"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes," Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at Tehran Friday prayer.
"Calamities are the result of people's deeds," he was quoted as saying by reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper.

My diva moment, almost


While we were stranded in Detroit last February, I happened to sit near a man who was finger-drumming on his attache case. He must have been so absorbed in his own music that he did not mind if the people were 
looking at him. One lady almost stood up to give him some coins. Must be force of habit when she sees street musicians near subways.


Me, I almost stood up from my seat and blurt a high note that would have made Regine Velasquez winced.  Ala diva. Almost.

 Hanube kasi.

Have a little faith

Dear insansapinas,
I finished the book...ermmm, not yet. It has to be edited first...there are also the table of contents, the index, the bibliography and the appendixes. 


I have one or two days to do that and I can start reading the book of Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie) entitled Have a Little Faith. And of course five James Paterson novels, one Kathy Reichs' (producer of Bones series) and  a new novel from Clive Cussler. Yay

No More Show Biz for Baby James

Dear insansapinas,
Headline:

Kris Aquino pulls Baby James out of limelight after 'Vee-yar' brouhaha

Allelujah, she has seen the light... the stage light.  

Kris Aquino has decided to nip Baby James's stardom in the bud.

In an exclusive phone interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) editor Karen Pagsolingan yesterday, April 12, the actress and TV host said she is pulling her two-year-old son "out of the limelight."

Kris said the decision was reached after Baby James blurted out 'Villar!' in a campaign sortie for her brother, Sen. Noynoy Aquino on March 29. Sen. Manny Villar's camp immediately jumped on the issue, saying Baby James was "secretly endorsing" Villar. They were also willing to award Baby James a watch from Technomarine. (CLICK HERE to read related story)

"It's a realization for us that he's a child, so let him be a child... Since he is only two years old, magti-three next week, we should give and allow him to enjoy his childhood. Something that didn't happen for me, because dad was in jail, it was martial law, so ako, I was really exposed super early. But since hindi naman tayo martial law ngayon, so I suggest, allow him to really enjoy his childhood," she explained.
It was not early naman. I think she was already seven years old. It was not even showbiz. She was just made to campaign for her dad while  he was in prison.


Kris said Baby James will not anymore be seen in her primetime soap opera Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo. Baby James plays Kris's son.

"I already pulled him out kasi our decision is, if we want him spared from all of this, kick him out of the limelight... Baby James made a mistake, I explained to him what the mistake is, but of course he's two. As a mother, I took upon myself na I protect him," she said.


Why is she insisting na nagkamali yong bata. Baby Janes may not be even aware what vore means o iboboto? 


Ngayon lang ba niya narealize yon. Ang daming artista na hindi pinag-artista ang mga anak nila habang bata dahil nga alam nila ang consequences.

This time, it is no longer her tactlessness which is the issue which is oftentimes, the reason why people are soft on her. Totoo lang siyang tao. 

The Aquino sisters also realized that this tactlessness makes her a liability to Noynoy. Baka anong masabi niya.

Baka pagnananalo si Noynoy at she's playing first lady baka biglang magsalita siya ng hindi maganda. 
Tapos tantrum sila pag pinublish ng mga diyaryo at ini-air sa TV network.



DUH.

Multitasking is impossible

Dear insansapinas,

I have watched several episodes of Law and Order but except for one or two, I never came to know who the killer is or how the case ended. It is because I am multitasking--watching TV, writing the book  and doing things that are in my to-do list. Frankly, the reason why I am in front of the TV is because I do not want to work in my desk which is in my bedroom. The bed beckons me to take a shut eye every now and then.

Now I found out that it is not my fault if I write, watch TV and burn the sinigang na baboy because I forgot all about it as I tried to check if the exercises I prepared at the end of the chapter of the book I am writing is difficult enough to make the students think. That's how many tasks? three. Include my bird-watching-shooing-activity and that makes it four.

I know I am the talk of the bird community in our place--the mean woman who checks the birds that come to roost at the beam of our balcony.  

I did not beat the deadline. I am late by 15 days. My friend asked me if it will be accepted. Oh I don't care if  they won't. Nobody was able to prepare one. I enjoyed writing it because it gives me a sense of accomplishment instead of merely reading and blogging--activities which for others is just a wish because they have their family to attend to or to report to their 9-5 corporate "slavery" .Anyway, I still have a few learning objectives to write before every chapter and there is the conversion of word to pdf. Arghhh.

Why am writing this?

A study conducted that the brain can only do two tasks at the same time. Aleluyah. So that means, I am normal. No psychiatric evaluation needed. theehehehe 

For those who find it tough to juggle more than a couple things at once, don't despair. The brain is set up to manage two tasks, but not more, a new study suggests.
That's because, when faced with two tasks, a part of the brain known as the medial prefrontal cortex divides so that half of the region focuses on one task and the other half on the other task. This division of labor allows a person to keep track of two tasks pretty readily, but if you throw in a third, things get a bit muddled.
 Oh excuse me while I get the broom to drive away the three pigeons that perched in my patio. It's been days that I have not taken my cough medicines for my allergy. So I am thinking that I am also allergic to these fine-feathered enemies of mine.
