Psycho killed a kitty

Monday night. I arrived home at thirty five past ten in the evening, I opened the door my pet cat welcomed me with his usual meow and soulful look then I give him a pat and pick him and carry him in my arms like a baby. My brother told me he's waiting near the door few minutes before I arrived. My Chad knows what time do I usually arrive. I filled his food and water bowl then cleaned up his litter box.

Done with my routines, just in time that I turned on the telly to watch some news, I am horrified with the news that a demented boy murdered a kitten! He even blog about it without remorse in details on how he killed that poor little kitty! And what's worse is that he is even happy that he did it! What a psycho! I wouldn't accept his half-hearted-ass sorry! If you don't like cats or any other animal why is it so hard to leave them alone!?!

I searched for his blog entry but he probably deleted it but someone screen captured it - see the full entry here. For your convenience I also added it here in my post.

For now PAWS is pursuing him. This is a serious concern! Don't let this happen again, everyone please familiarize yourself with Republic Act: 8485!

Justice for Teng teng!

I will be on new schedule starting tomorrow. Welcome back mids-shift, midweek off here I come. I hope everyone of you enjoyed their Easter Sunday.

Good Friday

We went to Caleruega Church in Nasugbu Batangas today, we had our lunch at Leslie's in Tagaytay City. Took some pictures of the wonderful Taal Lake then went home.

Was an angel

Do you believe in angel? I was told before that each of us has a guardian angel, sent from heaven by God to watch us. Manang Julie(our kasambahay) said that when I do bad things my angel is crying and Jesus is not happy with it so to keep my guardian angel smiling I should be good.Those were the stories about angels when I was a kid. Here's what I got from wiki about the meaning of angels - The angels are represented throughout the Christian Bible as a body of spiritual beings intermediate between God and men.

Just a few flashbacks, believe it or not when I was young I used to join other kids to play the role of "an angel" during lent season. An angel whose wings were made of white cardboard glued with white duck feathers, then an elastic strings attached to it to fit on my shoulders. I was a little angel who's wearing a make up, holding a candle and joined the prusisyon every year from kinder until I reached grade 4! Instead of typical white dress, my mom let me wear yellow because I want wear different, I even wore pink! I saved the white dress on Easter Sunday were I used to be the narrator in a role play - Jesus' ascension to heaven, there was bunch of paragraphs that I need to memorize! Did I enjoy it? Yes and No. Yes because I used to sit in the front row while attending the mass and no because I don't like long walks during prusisyon, my legs were hurting and my father would carry me until we completed the prusisyon which was embarrassing because all my friends saw that I was carried by my dad!

And now that I am older, I just had a good laugh at it.

How often do you pray?

I've read just now the recent issue of Reader's Digest. It's really an interesting issue. I saved the best for last which is Cheap Trips, I'm gonna read it later today. I skimmed through the pages and I read the last part in RD living. The article's title is my blog's entry today - How often do you pray? This poll was conducted in rdasia.com participated by people all over the world. I don't know how many participated in this poll but I got interested with the results.

Results say that the country with the highest percentage that they say they do pray everyday are from Malaysia followed by Philippines, India and Turkey. It's opposite or people say they don't pray often or everyday are from Chzech Republic followed by Russia and Netherlands tied on the 2nd spot next are Spain and Australia. USA and UK are somewhere in the middle. In my opinion the statistics shows how religious people are, at some point they do pray because they have to much to ask or they pray less because they have what they need? How often do we really need to pray? Does it matter how often we pray to get what we pray or wish or hoping for?

True we filipinos are religious, at least I want to believe that. There is a diferrence being religious and being faithful so do praying and lip service. We ranked 2nd meaning we are prayerfull but for me we should not just pray but we should put things into action so that we can get what we prayed for. What we pray will not just land in our lap or expect miracle to happen in a snap. Ika nga ni Ate Guy - Walang Himala! If we are prayerfull then we should also be Godfearing people but it's just sad what we hear in the news - corruption, felony, plunder and many more!

Pray for the better days. Help yourself and God will help you.

B for Baguio

Usually when we go out of town we sleep over night but in our recent trip it didn't happen. I arrived at Victory Liner bus station nearly 12 midnight for a 1am trip as I was informed that there's a trip leaving everyhour. Well we've been waiting for Cam, Chester and Aimee then we checked that the next trip going to Baguio was 4am! What are we going to do in the next 4 hours? Were 10 by the way - Cam, Yhang Liw, Ryan, Huber, Louie, Bien, Chester, Aimee and of course me. Since we don't want to waste time, we checked in Dagupan Bus and on a nearby bus terminal which I forgot the name - no trip leaving for Baguio in the next two hours. To avoid wasting our precious time, we agreed that we'll be looking for a van, after several minutes we had a final deal with Manong Joel that the trip would cost 1200php each back and forth(manila-baguio-manila), tour and gas. I personally don't know if that is expensive but I agreed.
We were moving going north past 1am of Friday via SCTEX. Cam and I watched a movie while others are asleep. We arrived at the Lion's Head before 6am. Here's our itenirary:

- First stop at Lion's Head
- then breakfast sa Sab-atan
- next stop was in Lourdes Groto - we stop from time to time while going to the top, take some pictures
- then Botanical Garden - where flowers are in bloom.
- next in The Mansion - civilians are only allowed to take pictures near the gate. Atleast we managed to get in and took a good view of the Mansion.
- at Mines View - where the view is really bad, all you can find are rooftops, pine trees are too old only few of them standing. However the good attraction in th entrance is DJ the St. Bernard dog which is sooo adorable, we had our group picture taken with him, he professionaly obliged in the command of his handler. We had our lunch in a "turo-turo" nearby and we went to Ibay's silver shop.
- after lunch we went to Camp John Hay - where you can find the Cemetery of Negativism. We took some rest in a gazebo near the ampitheater, chit chat then stroll.
- then we went to PMA - I love it there! The only place in Baguio where I can say it is highly maintained, still the same as I can recall.
- oh the Burnham Park - we did not go boating instead our van parked there then we went to the market
- dinner at SM Baguio Point and Grill
- after dinner we drove to Nevada Square in the bar called Brew Yard - the place is cozy, we're the first customer that night of Brew Yard. Took sips of margarita while the boys had beer, vodka and bj! We stayed there until 1.
- Last stop. BGH - Baguio General Hospital - nevermind, I don't want to tell more.

We left Baguio at past 5am of Saturday and we arrived here in Manila almost 12noon because of the traffic.

Thank you friends. I had a great time! 'Till next time. Cheers!
