You got to be kidding me!

I read this post from a personal blog by an Entrecard member. I am trying to leave a comment but it won’t work. I would like to tell the author of this blog that…

1. Ferdinand Marcos was a dictator who killed so many Filipinos and was not even sorry for it. Sure, some can be attributed to her crazy wife, Imelda Marcos. But then he’s still the president who could have done something to stop all the craziness back then.

2. He stole so much money from the country that he made Switzerland so rich! It could have been our country but then he stole what should have been the citizen’s money.

3. Remember the bombings???

4. He ruled for 20 years and who really knew every little dastardly thing he did during that time? He wouldn’t have stopped being the dictator if not for the People Power with Cory Aquino.

5. His family still won’t return the money they stole!!!

So, blog author, do you really want to give this man…

President Ferdinand E. Marcos, the great military man, the former Commander-in-Chief of the Republic of the Philippines deserves to be treated the way we did to Cory Aquino. Full military honors, paying tribute to what he really did for the entire nation, the good side of it.

Yes, we are taught to forgive and forget. We are a Catholic nation. But then some things are really hard to forget. Forgive, sure. But to even think of giving this man honor???

Fascination with Facebook

I’m sorry, I just have to say this… I just can’t see all the hype about Facebook. I’ve been a member for quite some time now and it’s practically the same as other social networking sites. Probably better because of the many apps and all that, plus it has tons of things about True Blood, but other than that…

Or maybe, it’s just me. I was chatting with a friend a week or so ago about Facebook. She’s addicted to it. She spends two to three hours after her shift just updating her account and writing on friends’ walls. While we were chatting, she’s busy with uploading her photos. I just could not see how you can spend hours in it. It’s nothing new.

I know some enterprising individuals are using it for their businesses. Spending hours networking, meeting potential customers, business partners and such I can understand. I can even understand that some are on the lookout for celebrities and the latest about them. But to simply be there to update it and “connect” with friends (when you can connect with them via IM or in person, which is much better)… now, that I can’t understand. I don’t mean to offend those who are addicted to Facebook. This is my personal views and opinions about it. As I’ve said, maybe, it’s just me.

Are you?

So, pray tell, why are you addicted to Facebook? Do you also spend hours in it? Or like me, you can’t also understand the fascination?

Necessary things

The insurance quote from my agent came in and all I have to do is allot a portion of my next budget to pay for it. I am making sure I have policies in place. It is the right thing to do. After the personal policies, I will take care of the home insurance.

It’s hard taking care of the necessaries at home. I am giving the task to my sister who’s more organized than me. And she’s not forgetful unlike me who keeps forgetting important dates even if I have an organizer for it.

Foodies

My sisters and I love to go on food trips. Whenever there’s a new restaurant that would open in the city, we would plan to try it out and most likely do after a week or two. We also love eating out during payday weekends. Thank goodness there is a best weight loss supplement out in the market. Otherwise, we would end up gaining more and more pounds every week!

I just remembered that there are new food places to try out at the new SM North Edsa Skygarden. Hmm…

EC dropping habit

I have been neglecting my EC dropping for a number of days already. It is addictive and when I start, I completely forget the other things I’m supposed to do. You know why? Because I don’t drop and run. I scan the blogs I drop my EC card on. I might not leave a comment but I read recent posts, especially from blogs I bookmark. So instead of doing some pending tasks while dropping, what I do is drop and read at length.

Anyway, later, I will be back to dropping. And reading. I just might leave a number of comments on your most recent posts as well.

Displays at pharmacy stores

When you look at displays at pharmacy stores right now, you will see right off the different diet pills that you can buy over the counter. Like crevax and other equally popular brands. My sister and I were checking one and I think my sister will try it out. I am scared of trying out things that will mix in my blood unless someone else I know personally tried it out already and can vouch for the effects of it.
