News bits

I like listening to news. I listen to AM radio when I drive just to keep myself updated on the current events since I couldn't always have time to watch the daily news shows. I am still on my way home by then.

It gets frustrating sometimes that news are not that interesting anymore. Or at least I have hoped to listen more to something positive and some good developments about our country. Sadly, it's not always the case.

These days, here's what's up:

• Senator Bong Revilla was mad on Hayden Kho for all his private videos out in the public and still spreading like wildfire. He recommended Kho's medical license to be revoked.

My comment: Please! Although I am totally against the public display of private videos, I would at lest want my senators to focus on more important stuff. Else, we don't need smart senators if they are just to comment on these petty showbiz news. And Please! As what the Bible says, 'He who has no sin can throw the first stone'. Enough said.

• A female Congressman (didn't catch her name) and Senator Bong Revilla being mad against Alec Baldwin for his comment on Filipina mail-order bride in the show with David Letterman.

My comment: Again, there are much more important things that our government officials can focus on. I'd rather they spend time looking and solving the fact that there is indeed a growing number of mail-order brides from our country instead of plainly asking an actor to retract his statement and apologize. Yes, it is offending but reality bites you know.

• Ms. Dionisia doesn't want to be an actress anymore but will still welcome endorsements.

My comment: Hilarious! I do like her though for being real. Maybe she also has the charm similar to his super rich and super famous son! That's why she's now called Pacmom! Haha!

Depressing weather

If it is just an ordinary day, I would have enjoyed the cool weather with a bowl of arroz caldo. It would have been a full day of just sleeping, eating and sleeping again.

However, this time is when I want the sun to shine! Tomorrow is our scheduled trip to Fontana Leisure Park - yet another outing with our closest friends. Our bags are not yet packed but I did some grocery shopping already for half of the food that we intend to bring. Yes, we plan to pig out! We rented a 3-bedroom villa and I'm very much excited to swim at the water theme park which I know the kids (especially Sophia) will surely enjoy. But sigh, Typhoon Emong is hitting Northern Luzon.

When I read what Fontana Leisure Park has to offer, it says this...

A place where one can play or go fishing and boating in lagoons with fountains and waterfalls, or simply stroll amidst manicures lawns, herbs and flower gardens, and acres of age-old trees. A place where one can enjoy country club amenities, such as, basketball and tennis court, restaurants, souvenir shop, spa, salons, gameroom and even a grand water theme park with a lazy river, a wave pool that stimulates the sea, a Buccaneer pirate ship with slides, a water factory, Olympic size pool and the thrilling challenge of a casino.

So you see, it's very enticing but the weather may restrict us from making use of the facilities available.

I just pray that there will be at least 1-3 hours of sunshine either tomorrow or Saturday morning for us to enjoy the water theme park. For the rest of the time, we can sleep, eat, watch dvds and sleep again.

My lash discovery

These past few days, I have been itching to spend, even for petty stuff. I have been wanting to buy a new mascara since I misplaced my Lancome (which is almost empty anyways). I heard Maybelline is good. Few years back, I used to have the Lash Discovery. I frankly don't want to spend much since mascaras usually have a short lifespan (they say around 3 months). Besides, I naturally have long lashes although I actually felt it became shorter due to frequent curling. I frankly envy my daughter Sophia. She has wonderful eyelashes! Long and curly! Very lucky girl, 'mana sa nanay' :)

Yesterday, I just went straight to Watsons and got this. I never even tried scouting for other brands as I normally do.

I like what it did to my lashes today, of course equipped with my ever reliable Shu Uemura curler.Finally, my lashes are back!
