It is finished...

It is a sad day when an adulterer is given the right to kill his wife. What made the matter worse was having this adulterer deny his wife's family, access to their own daughter. What is this world coming to? Is the law really the opposite of morality? Do we really have to choose between what is "constitutional" and what is right? Is it right to give the adulterer all this power over his victim?

Cockadoodledoo!

4:07am - time to wake up people! Gosh, can't believe I'm still at the office! We finally were able to finish the functionalities of the new website an hour ago. Hopefully we haven't missed anything due to sleep deprivation and starvation. I'm crossing my fingers that testing tomorrow will go somewhat smoothly. Based on experience that NEVER happens but I'm not praying for 0 defects. Just for noted defects to be minor in nature.

Anyways, I'm just passing the time until around 5am maybe. Vince is sleeping and I don't want to text him. He has an interview in about 6 hours so he has to be fresh. Goodluck honey! My mom will be up in a little while so I'll just text her. Hopefully she won't get mad that it's 4am and her only daughter is alone in the office. Boohoo! This is one of the few times that I'm almost, ALMOST, regretting not being able to drive.

Hope to be able to catch a few hours of sleep when I get home because I need to be back by lunch. Since launch is still on Thursday, I expect to keep up this schedule in the next two days. I wish lack of sleep = weight loss :p

Ooooh that reminds me! I ordered the Core Secrets kit from the Shopping network last Saturday. I'm excited! Hope it works just as they showed on the infomercial. Pathetic! Haha!

I'm one of the few people which advertising has a tremendous effect on. When I say few I'm counting my mom, my uncle, my cousin, my brother, my dad. When we watch the home tv shopping channel it's like we're being hypnotized..."buy, buy, buy!" Crazeee! We end up buying all sorts of exercise equipment, books, crafts stuff (you guys know the make-all-sorts-of-ribbons thing?!) , and the best purchase of all: Mom wins hands down - she bought a fishing rod! My dad would have taken the ultimate prize if he bought the shades where you can change the lens. What's it called? Mojave glasses! Hahaha!! Good thing I still have a bit of control and convinced him to forget about it (almost bought them myself a few years back :P). I think the people taking the orders already have our number saved in their caller ID :P

Anyways, while I was watching the Core Secrets plug, I noticed Vince laughing at me. It appears that I have this dumb, fascinated, awestruck look on my face whenever I watch those kinds of things especially when I hear the line: "but wait! there's more! order now and get a free.." Grr. Stupid :p Well anyhow, I'm still excited to go home and see if it was delivered today as promised.

Easter

I feel so bad. Actually I'm pathetic. I'm here at the office while my family is having Easter lunch and Vince is with his family for their own get-together. What's even worse is my Easter lunch - a cold Sausage & Egg McMuffin. For my drink, I'm having water in a recycled juice cup. *Sniff* To top it all off, I don't think I'll be able to finish the project today...and the launch is on Thursday!

Skip to dinner....

It's 630pm and I feel so sleepy, hot, sticky, tired. Looks like I'm going to have dinner at the office instead of at home. Just had a fight with Vince...Great.

After dinner...

Walked to the shopping center beside the office. The street was dark and honestly I was a bit scared. Ate at KFC. Alone. Still mad at Vince...

It's 1100pm...Mom, Dad, do you know where your kid is? Waaaaaahhhh!!!

'til death do us part

It's so frustrating not to be able to join the protests against the ongoing "murder" of Terri Schiavo. Actually this is worse than murder!! She's being killed little by little and who says that just because she can't talk or signal to the people around her, she can't think and feel. Who knows that at this moment she's scared to death of dying and she wants to live to see her family? It's really so frustrating.

America prides itself of giving equal opportunity to life and protecting it...even animals have their own police force. A neighbor calls and reports that she saw a thin dog in your home and suspects that you haven't been feeding it. The authorities goes to your home and arrests you. What the..?! Or, a neighbor knows that you're not at home but notices that there's a dog tied in your backyard. The authorities come and see that the dog has not water. They call you and warn you that if you do it again, there are consequences.

And here we are, fighting for a HUMAN's life. There shouldn't be any question because for one, is there an explicit wish from Terri that she wants to die? Plus, she's a Roman Catholic. Part of a Catholic's belief is to fight for life. For once, I agree with President Bush...when in doubt always, ALWAYS side with life. One of the protester's who was interviewed shared that she had a very good friend who was slowly dying of an illness. When he was still strong he left word that should the time come when he couldn't feed himself, they shouldn't give him food through a tube. But when that time came, they asked him if he wanted to eat and he signalled YES. At death's door, people's minds and feelings can change. Who's to say that Terri has been fighting to send a signal to the people who are SUPPOSED to care for her that she wants to live! That she can in fact still understand what they are saying, that she still wants to see her parents, be hugged, and be kissed? One doctor said "Nobody can enter a patient's mind and discover what that person is experiencing.."

Maybe she did share to her husband before that should she be in that situation, they should pull the plug. But maybe she was thinking that pulling the plug means instant death, not a slow and painful one. That's what's getting to me. You are starving a human being! If her husband (I can't even type his name!) does not want anything to do with her, well her parent's and millions of people want to help! He can even choose not to see her anymore. And now this self-righteous person is saying that he made a promise, a committment to Terri even if he has moved on with a part of his life. Promise? A promise to what, kill her when the time comes? Maybe he wants to move on completely and he doesn't want other people to think ill of him -- "oh he left his invalid wife..", "how can he divorce her..". Well I just want to say to him that, couples divorce left and right in the US for petty reasons such as "irreconcilable differences", incompatibility, or one party cannot provide what the other needs. Why doesn't he just let her be? If he really knows "what she wants" then I'm sure that he knows that Terri doesn't want infidelty. Isn't that what he's doing right now? Having relationships and kids while still married to her? What a committment, huh?

Nobody can fault him if he can't handle taking care of Terri anymore. People have different reactions to different situations. I want to share the story of Wawel. We used to work for the same company but I wasn't able to meet him because he left before my first day on the job. A lot of people love to share his story because his story is nothing short of amazing. Kindly read this article from Inquirer

Sorry for the long post but this is the only way I can think of to share my thoughts and maybe convince whoever is reading this know that what is happening now is wrong. And I also want to let the family or close to the family of Terri know that I am praying for their cause.

Graduation

I stepped into the ADMU campus again yesterday to witness my brother graduate from university. Wow, time really flies by so fast!

CONNECTED

Woohoo! Finally, I'm back in cyberspace! One of Amazon's top 10 shoppers is online again! After 5 years of squatting at my bro's PC where I'm usually permitted to just stay online for 5mins to check mail, I can surf on my own time. My dad finally, FINALLY bought me my own laptop. Thanks Dad! Words fail me...I can't describe the feeling of leaning back on the bed, laptop on my lap, typing the night away. Hmm, let's see. What site to visit first... No more excuses on having an outdated blog. Another advantage is finally being able to ym my honey :P

So tired....

My neck and back are aching...my eyes hurt...i feel a cold coming...and my throat is itchy. I want to go hoooommmeeee!!

I'm stuck here at the office because the problems just keep on coming and coming and coming. Although it's just Wednesday, the middle of the week, I have to finish all the tasks that I have for this week since I'm going to attend a seminar Thurs-Friday. I can't afford to not go to the office for 2 days!! Arrgh!! I have a launch on Easter Sunday (Sunday week after next) but Wed, Thurs, Friday of that week are considered "dead" days since these are declared holidays. Waaaaahhh!!!

Wish me luck! :p
