This is me.

Your madness has gone too far and for too long. Like I told you,

“You reap what you sow.”

You are so messed up and have been driving me nuts. Your lashes never cease. You still kick me when I’m down and defenseless. You always fight dirty. You perennially cut up healed wounds to keep them bleeding. You are mean. Is evil your ambition?

The expected midnight 30-minute-or-less drive from Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong to the Domestic Airport in Pasay took two grueling hours! Thanks to Murphy’s Law. At first, we thought it might have been due to yet another stroke of genius in roadworks by the MMDA, but were proven wrong when we finally passed the cause of our ire (and that of a million other motorists behind us).

She will outlive us all.

Finally the maids, prompted by the weariness of their daily tasks, cut off the rooster’s head, hoping that now, with the rooster dead, they would be able to sleep until noon. But this hope deceived the wretched maids. For when their mistress learned the rooster had been killed, she then ordered the maids to wake up in the dead of night.

Eventhough today was spent just like any other weekday, with me having been up all night at work, coming home just to zoom off again to run household errands while fending off drowsiness, then making it back to the house to eat, do some laundry, watch a DVD, and finally catch some Z’s for yet another night shift at work, there is a lot for me to be thankful for:

Before the big question

In Medal of Honor Airborne, you can choose to land anywhere in the combat space which means infinite variation in how you beat the mission! As the enemy moves out, battle lines can form anywhere. So enemy postions are different every time.

Check out Joseph, the beatbox sensation of Nouvelle Star 2007 (Season 5). The show is a French reality television show based on the popular British show Pop Idol. It’s like ze French counterpart of the more popular American Idol.
