Rustom Padilla is GAY

I was doing my regular blog round ups this morning when i stumble into one of the pinoy blog i frequent. First i saw a picture of a he/she named Bebe Gandanghari. She was beautiful and tall. Looks like a supermodel until i read the comments. Bebe Gandanghari formerly known as Rustom Padilla was a total shocked. During my early college i remember having a little crush on him. He have this angelic face on tv that i always like. I don't know what to say, i'm still in complete shock and denial. What happened to the handsome Rustom???

I was out of the pinoy showbiz circulation headlines after i graduated college. Never heard any rumors of him being gay ever since. What a loss. But if he is happy to come out i wish him all the best......

Mother's Day Present

A cardboard decorated with Mattie's two little hands. Insert is a picture taken from the daycare's garden. Boy, my son is getting big. Eventhough i still think of him as an infant and could not resist staring at his pictures on our digital frame, all pics in there are when he was still a little peanut. Now, he corrects me with his toy character's name when i say it wrong lol... Love you Son!

New Awareness

I've been watching(more than usual)television shows lately about missing people, kids/adult abducted for whatever reason. It inspired me more than ever to write this post and who knows will somehow make a difference to someones lives. What bothers me most are the children that i could not even get the tragic reality out of my head when i see throbbing, helpless parents begging for their child's safe return. It stabbed my heart hearing their accounts and honestly couldn't help myself from tearing up. I'm angered and bitter for what is happening to our world. How can you hurt an innocent child? More so, forced into child pornographic activity as young as 4 year old having sex with an adult. How sickening is that? Some videos recovered by cybercrime detectives were to graphic to hear but i have to listen and accept human cruelty, it's out there happening everyday all over the world. Are these kids still out there? Are they still alive? It's one of my nagging questions inside. I am deeply sad at the same time traumatized that it hunts me even in my dreams.

One positive outcome of this new awareness is that it made me more aware of my environment. As a mother, not to take life for granted because someone can snatch it before your very eyes. What if, if something happen like this to me and my family, love ones and friends. Can i ever handle it? Before all these, my life has been partly painted with rose colored glass wall which only cares about my own being and my family. Now it's different, i see my life as meaningful as it is now if i can do something for someone. Whatever situation may be. Each life has a purpose, i know i got one because i can feel the calling i just have to channel that into doing something positive. Starting now with this POST. Join a volunteer team(any group)in your community, support programs online, teach your kids about safety are some helpful ideas i wanted to do after.

I hope i inspire some people out there to do the same.

Swine Flu!

I work in the medical field and this outbreak news were all over our industry since late last week. Pork as the source of the virus transmitted to human, now it spreads from human to human which carries a rare strain/subtypes that can or cannot be treated by the common influenza antiviral medicine(like the human influenza vaccines).So folks, refrain from eating pork for now until the outbreak is contained. Husband of my direct supervisor is a military doctor working here in San Antonio military hospital informed our laboratory that CDC(Center for Disease Control)sent a jet here in SA to pick up sample from one of the patients who got infected with the disease.

Here's an excerpt from yahoo news:

Mexico closed schools, museums, libraries and theaters in a bid to contain the outbreak after hundreds were sickened there. In the U.S., there have been at least 11 confirmed cases of swine flu in California, Texas and Kansas. Patients have ranged in age from 9 to over 50. At least two were hospitalized.

Believed to originate from Mexico. Tourists and local exhibiting the symptoms are now quarantined. We have at 3 cases here in SA, and for sure more in the state of Texas and statewide including New York. It could be potentially a "pandemic flu" where number of countries around the world banned meat/pork import for the time being. For you people at home, avoid contacts with sick people and avoid any public places(like hospitals) as a good precaution for you and your family.

Money transfer for free

Yes, i can't believe it either. I sent a wire transfer to my mother in the Philippines via Xoom.com for free. Never done this before as i never get any promotion code from them. I figured, why not search for codes online and see if there's such thing. I noticed at the end of my transaction, a box that asks enter coupon codes, so maybe they are giving occasional codes for customers. Off i googled and browsee each web forums containing xoom codes and viola it came out service charged as free. Whohooo. Now i don't feel so bad sending money online instead of bank to bank transfer. Not only that it takes awhile but also it's expensive. Xoom is the only cheapest money transfer i found that will cash out in an instant for less fee. I tried westernunion and moneygram, bank to bank and they were all expensive. I'm sure there is an expiration for the codes but there is always a new one that comes out often to keep customers keep coming back.
