I was shocked when I read about Eun Jiwon’s divorce with his wife of two years. They’ve been together for ten years before getting married in 2010 in Hawaii. She was his first love. I remember how genuinely happy he was in 1N2D when he announced he’s getting married, and how he sheepishly proposed his love in front of the camera. I know they’ve been trying to have a child, but seems its a bit far fetched now.
They separated August last year, but only made the announcement today. They said this is to protect the privacy of his non-celebrity wife. Though he’s a celebrity, and they say celebrity marriages don’t last, he’s a person, too. Separations are very difficult. This must be very hard on him. I wonder what happened that they decided to go their separate ways. I truly feel sorry and sad about this time of their lives and sincerely wish for each other’s own happiness down the line. 😦

Thank you for the memories 2012! Cheers to the new year! 😀

December 9 was the day PH was anticipating for weeks. The 4th bout of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. I wasn’t able to watch when it was broadcast on TV, I was out savoring Melo’s Angus Steak (lol). I only heard about Pacquiao’s staggering loss over the radio.
My two cents on the match: It did not made Pacquiao less of a champ. There were good days, there were bad. Stop talking and just consider this a bad day, then let’s move on. No need to prove himself time and again, he had done it countless times.
For the issues surrounding his defeat, first, I don’t think his change of religion is to be blamed either, though hardcore Catholics think so. The rosary is only a representation of our faith. It does not make him less son of God.
As for his retirement, well, at 33, I think he has achieved so much already, he can retire if he wanted to, thats for him to decide. After all, its his body that does all the working and beating. He must know when to stop.
And lastly for the photos posts by Justin Bieber, I believe they were not too creative, and I don’t think it was a joke. The stupid kid made fun of the fallen boxer, and it was not funny. It was downright rude and ugly.
I am not a big fan of the Pacman but he proudly carries PH every wins. We celebrate his victories and encourage him with his loss. I hope every true Pinoys would have his back at this trying time.

I’ve been living a sedentary lifestyle for a couple of years now. I eat several times a day. I take my lunch at my desk after it was delivered to me. I even make it a point to bring anything I can munch on in between doing my tasks. I also drive, which lessened my walking. I’ve enrolled in gym but I just go whenever I feel like it, which is waay too seldom. I think the only exercise I make is the walk going to the parking.

Well, I have somehow harvested the fruits of my sedentary lifestyle. Last year, I had severe pain on my left foot arch which lasted for almost a year. I had it checked by an ortho, did weekly massages and reflexologies, took several pain killers, creams & warm compresses every night. When I got tired of doing all of the above I just stopped because although the pain was subsiding, it wasn’t disappearing. One day I just realized the pain was gone. It left, just like that, when I wasn’t expecting it.

Mid this year I had a miscarriage. Though the reason was unknown, I think maybe because I had poor health? Or poor chromosomes/hormones or something not normal. There must be something wrong with me.

Few months after that tough time here I am experiencing something out of the ordinary yet again. Lower left abdominal pain. This used to be a dull pain, but as weeks went by it got kind of intensed. Maybe around 5/10 on pain chart, not too much but enough to make me feel uncomfortable. I’m going to have this checked in a week or 2 if it persists. I am scared going to my ob-gyne and learning of harsh findings. I hope this time its nothing too serious.

When will I ever take the hint that these are all wake up calls to diet and exercise? 😦

I feel too stressed and drained. I’ve waited all day for the good news. When it finally arrived I wasn’t sure if it was bad. But it was definitely not good. So I was given a visa again, and tabs hasn’t yet. He was still asked to submit a TIN card, which by some stroke of misfortune we couldn’t find anywhere in the world. We combed the whole house, and it couldn’t be found. If ever we did find it the process will be extended for 3 days, still unsure if he will be given a visa. And we are supposed to leave by the weekend, which I doubt if ever we could still make it.
I feel so sad, mad and sorry for him. Sad that he was still unsure of approval, mad that he did not take the reapplication requirements seriously, and sorry because it was somehow my fault he was denied the first time and couldn’t witness the country I would want to revisit over again.
I was really hoping against hope that he would be approved and we could go together this time. C’mon Korean Embassy, the suspense is killing me!

This day bored me out of my wits! So bored that I searched for schools that offer graduate programs.. Maybe this term? Or the next? Which school? I can do business, I can do nursing. My eyes droop just by looking at the courses and the amount of driving time going to these schools. Crap, I must be going out of my mind.

Lola Beth is Tabs’ favorite granny, even though she is not his immediate grandmother (she’s a sister of his mother’s mother). She was the one who took care of him as a little child and have lived with them for several years. She cooked for the family and especially for tabs’ requested foods. You could say she’s contributory to tabs’ fat deposition. Tabs and lola even lived for a year in Dasmarinas, Cavite, when tabs studied Biology in DLSU. I met her when we were still a new couple, and she criticized my huge eyebags.^^
She got sick in 2008 and we visited her a couple of times in Cainta, where she was then living with her relatives, asking for financial assistance. She doesn’t have children, only adopted ones she raised who don’t care too much about her, the way I see it. She had 2 dogs she dearly loved whom she treated like her own children.

Lola Beth passed away yesterday. I couldn’t help feeling sad though I barely know her. Tabs told me he had been thinking about lola’s cooking for several days now. Maybe she was thinking about him too, before she died.
We will be travelling up north to Ilocos on the long weekend. Due to schedule conflicts I don’t think we will make it before her interment. But we will still pay our respects after. Lola Beth, tabs will miss you! And thanks for everything on his behalf.

Several hours passed and I’m still pissed. I purchased tickets for Universal Studios Singapore online for our trip in less than 2 weeks. I was watching my budget since practically I would be the one spending for the whole trip. Good thing my father is already a senior citizen thats why I got one of the tickets at SG$32 when a regular adult at non peak is at SG$68. I plan on going there on a friday which is also coincidentally a non peak day, compared to  a peak rate of  SG$74. And shit suddenly happened when I accidentally purchased a 4 adult and 1 senior. And we are just 4. I already emailed them, and no, it cannot be refunded. The Agcaoilis and I are coming back again in September, but we already got tickets. It will be one wasted ticket. I was surprised how a SG$68 or around 2,300 pesos could affect me tremendously.  And there I was thinking of what I saved with a senior rate. Stupid. I was in a bad mood the rest of the day, big time.
