I have promised Intan one thing, I will loss my weight within a month starting this week. My son always complaining about my figure this time, maybe he felt bad about my looks. He even told me many times “Mommy, dati ang ganda mo, nung sexy ka pa!” Hahahah!
This thing is one of my fears before. I was afraid to gain weight and earn fats all over my body and face. I have been a figure conscious then, that was during the days I am not contented to my life. The days when I was asking for more than God have showered to me. But realization and acceptance of truth came like a robber. In just a blink of my eyes, everything changed. It was a miracle that one day, after a long time losing of my soul; I saw the beauty of life. After a long night in my life, I woke up in a paradise-like world. Fears had gone. I don’t know how it happened, but surely it is God’s will.
Burpp! Oh my! I have done with my snack, a roll of lumpiang shanghai and a glass of cold water. I took snack two hours after my heavy lunch. Ohh, poor me, how could I loss my weight in this case? I can’t resist taking heavy lunch and snack and back home is waiting a heavy dinner. Oh, well, I guess I need to make an excuse to Intan again (as I always do) and compromise to start my diet next week.

The Smart Wifi Portal Says
I was about to blog hop yesterday after getting done with tremendous and mountainous work the past days. I hurriedly switch on my pc only to find out a horrifying truth. “Wala na kaming internet connection.”
A whole day stay in the office without internet, what do you expect? And daming choices, I could open photoshop just to make myself busy or do some scrapping, ang dami ko na kayang na-download na freebies, but I felt that day was not for such activities. I need to go back to blogging for a change and that specific day was the day I want to start again. Kaso minalas yata ako. I have called Ma’am Grace as I noticed the disconnection but worst, she will not be coming. I have waited her until 12 noon for the preliminary action should be taken. Grabe! She found out one thing about it, hindi pala kami bayad sa Smart Wifi subscription for two consecutive months…hahahhahahha! Hayun, nag lapsed nung May 03 ang subscription namin.
Immediately we paid the bill in Smart wireless center in SM hoping that after paying the account we will be reconnected again. Ma’am Grace dialed the toll-free smart number for the reconnection instruction but the customer service representative had advised her to wait 24 hours before the reconnection process will be done. We have no choice, ano bang magagawa namin kundi maghintay.
This morning I eagerly switched on my pc wishing a positive result. Oh no, the wifi portal appeared again, asking for the user ID and password. What the hell, Ma’am Grace is the only one who knows about such information and she will be coming two hours late than I am. Ano ba ito, feeling ko’y ayaw na talaga akong i-connect. Paano na ang blogging career ko, ngayon pa namang pwede na ulit akong mag blog. I have all the chances to talk with other bloggers and chat from 8am until 5pm.
Luckily, after 30 minutes of sentiments, Ma’am Grace came and successfully finished the connection process. Buti na lang at na-monitored agad ng smart na bayad na kami in less than 24 hours. Yahoo! Yehey! Back to blogsphere na ulit ako!
How did I beat eight hour boredom in the office? The answer is…….well let this thing be my secret.

Politics
Politics is evil. This is what I have realized after opening my eyes in the country’s election situation.
You might find me ignorant to this matter, but oh yes, I admit. Never before I have been a part of any election campaign and process, only this time, I would like to give myself a chance to broaden my insight about this thing.
I remember how our small town started to be competitive during the years of the thin and simple man. His three terms in the Sangguniang Bayan leads the town into a progressive one, economy and infrastructure were given enough attention which was the vehicle of success. He build the longest load in Region 4 in the area in 1998 aside from the one he established through the donation of the town sister city in Korea that worth 104M. He connected the town into its 26 barangays through small bridges, public and access roads. These accomplishments had been resulted economy growth. Farmers and fishermen finds themselves luckiest other than anyone else for the reason they could easily transport their products from the harvest place into market site.
Because of his accomplishments, on his last term no one had tried to file a candidacy against him. Every one in the town had strong belief that he is the one who could uplift the life of the citizens through his projects.
In 2004, the beloved mayor stepped down and left his office. He endorsed a wealthy man to run as a new town mayor and he won.
This time, the thin and simple former mayor back again for a reason. During his speech yesterday, he revealed the ultimate reason, he said “Noong 2004, sa entablado ring ito ay sinabi ko sa kanya (pertaining to the incumbent) na kapag di mo ipinagpatuloy ang aking nasimulan, babalik ako at lalabanan kita!â€
Truly, his love to the town is pure. I certainly believe in Him not because of his doings, it is because I personally know him. He is a man of words, a man that ready to sacrifice personal things just to serve the country. How many times his wife asked him to join her in Switzerland where they could earn living in the fullest but he always refusing. He believes that the town needs him, and he is willing to follow the dictates of the needy.
But as I’ve said, politics is evil. And yes, money is influential. What is the power of a good ten point’s agenda against P1000, P2000, P3000 or P5000? Voters are wise. As of this hard life to survive, a P1000 is a big deal. It could be a great help to a family, they can survive for 3 to 5 days or more. But you see, the survival is in very limited span, they did not think about the next days, the next month or years. What they are given attention is only TODAY and not planning for tomorrow. They cannot see the benefits of the ten point’s agenda because they are not bound into sacrifice and waiting. Some people says “Kelan pa kami makikinabang sa platapormang iyan, kapag may apo na ako?†Even I can’t react to such question, she has a point actually, but if she just analyzed the situation she can find an answer to her question.
“Better to eat nothing TODAY, sleep without mat and blanket, be undressed, and live without shelter. Hold unto your belief that TOMORROW a chance to eat with fish, comfort in mattress, dressed up, and stay inside a room will be achieved. Don’t sell your RIGHT rather take the PRIVILEGE to be wise.â€

Its time to be secured
At last, after ten long years of being married to Robin, I have gone through in changing marital status at my Social Security Account. It was after the two hours chitchat with fellows while waiting to my number to be called by the SSS employee. The truth is I do not have an interest of changing it not because I do want to maintain my singleness but because I know how tough of realizing it. SSS office accommodates the most number of people daily among any other agency in the Philippine. An elbow to elbow and cheek to cheek line surely irritates complainants while loan applicants infuriate by the slow-moving-pace.
I felt relieved when the stamp landed on my paper after two minutes in front of the personnel. A small thing that I had ignored for many years, a minor accomplishment yet means a lot. Without doubt, the small piece of stamped paper I have attached to my wallet will be of great help in the future. Yes, many not now but time will come my SSS account would provide convenience when I got old and belong to what they called elderly.
