Making life worth living.
Month: December 2008
Kayo ba ay tapos na sa inyong Christmas shopping? Kung hindi pa, pareho tayo.
Hanggang ngayon, hilong-hilo na ako at marami pa akong hindi nabibili. Grabe ang traffic. Minsan nakakatulog na ako sa bus sa sobrang bagal ng biyahe.
Noong isang gabi, sa Makro sa Cubao kami pumunta para bumili ng pang-raffle sa Christmas party. Grabe ang haba sa cashier. Kung hindi pa kami nagreklamo, hindi nila dinagdagan ang cashier.

There is now a Magdalo restaurant.
It’s on A. Luna st. in Pasay City. I’m not sure now if it’s 2175 A. Luna.
From Buendia (coming from Roxas Blvd.) , it’s the street right before PAGCOR. It’s on the right. From the corner of Buendia and A. Luna, the sign of Magdalo can be seen.
Magdalo Kitchen is owned by Jeane Monteverde.
Last Dec. 17, the office of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, held its Christmas party at the Magdalo Kitchen.
It was fun. Here are a few pictures:
Yesterday, the court martial trial of Lt. Artemio Raymundo was off to an amusing start with the witnesses testifying never having viewed the controversial video that has caused the incarceration of an outstanding officer for more than two years.
Raymundo is facing three charges of violations of Articles of War 96 (conduct unbecoming of an officer and gentleman), 97 (conduct prejudicial to public order and military discipline) and 64 (disrespect towards superior officer) for sharing with fellow soldiers copies of video he got for free at an LRT station.
Those video pieces happen to be former Joseph Estrada’s biopic “Ang mabuhay para sa masa” and documentaries on the 2004 election cheating “At All Cost” and “The Original Sin.”
Noong Martes, pang-apat na anibersaryo ng pagkamatay KC de Venecia, ang dalagitang anak nina dating House Speaker Jose at Gina de Venecia. Namatay si KC nang masunog ang kanilang bahay sa Dasmariñas Village noong Dec. 16, 2004.
May misa sa Santuario de San Antonio at may almusal sa bagong bahay ng mga De Venecia sa Forbes Park.
Pangalawang taon ito na nagkaroon ng pagtitipon sa bahay nina JDV sa pagala-ala sa pagkamatay ni KC. Natuwa naman ako makita na naka-recover na ang mag-asawa lalo na si Manay Gina. Nang unang dalawang taon kasi, hirap na hirap si Gina. Siyempre mahirap tanggapin ang ganoong pagkamatay ni KC.
Not a few wish that what happened to U.S. President George W. Bush in Baghdad last Monday would also happen to Gloria Arroyo.
What happened to Bush the other day in Baghdad is all over TV, newspapers, You Tube, blogs. He was holding a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki as part of his farewell tour before he turns over the reins of the United States government to president-elect Barack Obama on Jan. 20, 2009, when a television journalist threw shoes at him.
The swiftness of the action stunned even Bush security team. The journalist, Muntadar al-Zeidi of an Iraqi-owned TV network based in Cairo, Egypt, was able to hurl at Bush his pair of shoes one after another as he shouted, “”This is a farewell kiss, you dog.”
Nalaman ko na lang may nangyaring batuhan ng sapatos sa Baghdad nang mag-text ang isa kong kaibigan na dapat ang ginawang pagtapon ng sapatos kay U.S. President George Bush ay gagawin rin kay Gloria Arroyo.
Na sa Baghdad kasi si Bush noong Lunes sa kanyang farewell visit dahil bababa na siya sa pagka-presidente sa Enero 20. Sa oisang press conference, pinagyayabang niya mas mapayapa na raw ang mundo ngayon dahil sa paglusob nila ng Iraq noong 2003 nang may lumipad na sapatos sa direksyon niya. Pares ang itinapon sa kanya dahil sinundan pa ng isa bago inaresto ang nagtapon ng mga security ni Bush.
Ang nagtapon ng sapatos kinilalang si Muntadar al-Zeidi, reporter ng Al-Baghdadia television, isang TV station sa Cairo, Egypt na pag-aari ng isang Iraqi. “Ito ang farewell kiss, aso ka,” ang sigaw ni al-Zeidi ng tinatapon niya ang sapatos.
BAGHDAD – An Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush was being held for questioning by the Iraqi prime minister’s guards, an official said Monday, as Arabs across the Middle East hailed the incident as a proper send-off to the unpopular U.S. president.
Muntadar al-Zeidi was being interrogated over whether anybody paid him to throw his shoes at Bush during a press conference Sunday in Baghdad and was being tested for alcohol and drugs, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
