Hotel Life and a New Blogger

Many things have happenned to my life since I last posted here. And many things have happenned to Blogger too. I hope in a few days or with more postings, I can catch up with the new things in Blogger.

Since Hurricane Irene damaged the house, we are now and still living in this hotel, Homewood Suites @ Hilton. The first few days were exciting. The gym, the pool, the free breakfast and free dinner, add interest and leisure to anyone's relaxing life. But as days passed by, hotel living is not that awesome anymore. You will miss that homely activities, the real cooking, the daily household chores, the chirping of the birds, the sights of neighbors and passerbys.

How I wish we can move to the new house already. But in the meantime, I should make the best of everything even with my hotel life or Blogger life.

Wish me well!!

Noynoy Aquino for President

For the record, I want to make it clear that my family is supporting Noynoy Aquino for president in any way that we can.

I admit that we once like Chiz Escudero. But that was before. Before Mr. Aquino announced that he would be running.

We believe in Mr. Aquino. We are confident that he will win this coming election.

God bless our next president!!!

Convenient

Convenient is a word mostly used whenever we answer the question Why? Why did you do that? Because it is convenient. Why did you accept that job? Because it is convenient. Why did you take a cab when you can walk in going to your workplace? Because it is convenient. Yeah, we always answer with the word convenient. That is why I now understand that a store nearby is called as a convenience store. Because it is convenient to buy items there than to go to the supermarket or shopping mall.

There is a convenience store near the MRT in Woodlands. Whenever I passed there, I was always tempted to buy small items like pens and ribbons for I was too lazy to go up to Popular and buy those stationery materials. It was really convenient especially if I need a few items only.

Then three weeks ago, I saw a signage/banner, a wall mural actually, glued on its outside wall where people walking by would notice instantly. I got a terrible headache when I read it: "Convience Store". But as days passed by, I get used to seeing it. Actually, I could say that my mind had already accustomed me to it and it seemed correct already. Seeing the word convience everyday made me accept it as correct even though I knew that it was incorrect. Seeing the visual repeatedly apparently conditioned my mind.

Then this morning when I passed by, the wordings were already corrected. I saw the wordings as correct: Convenience Store. Surely, I felt happy for the change but I felt my head trobbing. Why so? Why did it got corrected when I already got used to saying convience on my mind? Headache. I confess, I have to condition my mind again....LOL...

Why am I telling this anecdote? Because I just understood the great power of advertisement, publicity and PR machinery on people. I also understand now why there are big banners and millions of budget to advertise a person, a product and a company. Those ads and publicity do affect and change people's thinking.

With all the headline news in the Philippines, I just hope that people will still realize which ones are correct and which ones are incorrect. Hmmm, take the con-ass, I'm afraid in the next few days the Philippines has a Prime Minister as a head of state instead of a President. Oh, forgive me. It is just because it is really convenient to accept that. Joke only.... What do you think?

Peggy Porky

Peggy Porky gobbled the whole buko pie,

Peggy Porky heard "no more", so she started to cry.

All the clan's demons

And all the clan's witches

Could not bake the same buko pie.

Then Peggy Porky declared:

"You buko pie makers

You will not be happy

the rest of your life."

The buko pie makers

astonished with the rude porky answered,

"But Peggy Porky, you already ate the buko pie.

When you ate it, you also ate the heart of Orb.

Therefore, you will be thrown into the

Place Which Is No More."

Why not consult David Eddings, Peggy Porky?

Happy in Singapore: Singapore Zoo

The girls enjoyed watching the animals

in their natural habitats.

Surely, they will always remember

this experience of coming face to

face with the animals.

Happy in Singapore: Woodlands Library

The girls enjoyed two hours at the

library. At the same time, they met a

new friend.

Happy in Singapore: Pony Ride at ViVo City

Aside from City Hall, HarbourFront was the girls

favourite as Vivo City is the largest

shopping mall here. Not only did they enjoy shopping

and of course eating, they also had a lot of fun playing

and they enjoyed their pony rides too.

Happy in Singapore: Jurong Bird Park

The girls had a lot of fun in Jurong Bird Park

specially Karllise who obviously is an animal lover.

They also got close and personal with the birds

at the Lory Loft.

The trip was a mesmerizing experience

for the girls as they also saw the

highest man-made waterfall.
