Good Grief.

Lotsa hate coming from Hong Kong and Chinese mainlanders over photos posted over social networking sites and blogs - photos of Filipino students posing with the bus behind them, etc. These kids attended a Buddhist prayer ceremony honoring the victims yesterday, and didn't know any better. They took a photo to remember the moment, but some people thought it would be a great thing to post these photos for all to mock!

Good grief. These photos have stirred more anger. Forums are abuzz with angry citizens calling Filipinos monkeys, maids, etc. :( Sad. But I cannot blame them. I'd be pissed, too.

Maybe we should exercise better discernment when it comes to these things. Best to promote peace in tense situations over provoking more hate. Why do we have to make fun of everything? We should know our place and avoid doing things in bad taste.

Coded.

My car is coded tomorrow. That means, I cannot be on major roads from 7am-9:59am and from 3pm-6:59pm. A has her 1st quarterly exams tomorrow through Friday. I have to be home tomorrow morning for "something" and found out today that instead of the test schedule announced last week (12nn-3pm), they changed the test schedule to 9am through 12nn! Ayayay!

My mom's driver usually takes A to school when I can't do chauffeur duties, but KY has classes at 9am tomorrow as well, so no can do. I We now have no choice but to wake up at 5am, in order to get to QC before 7am. I guess we'll be having breakfast at Mickey D's. :P

Meanwhile, I had some guys from the office pick up a few things from the house today. After getting a gate pass to ensure their smooth pickup sans the hassle, we found out that the service elevator wasn't working. So I called our admin office and asked them if we can use the passenger elevator to transport a few boxes. It is against policy, so I practically begged. We have a new administrator and I am sure he snickered to himself when I gave him the sob story of being a single parent and not having a husband to help me with stuff like these. Told him I borrowed a couple of peeps from the office and a van just so I can dispose of a few items, etc. I suppose I sounded so pathetic, so much so that he told me he'd agree to have us transport the boxes one by one via the passenger elevators, and that he was sticking his neck out for me. :)

He's a nice guy, no? He didn't give me a hard time.

Note to self: Give the new administrator a gift basket. LOL!

But waaahhhh!!! God is nicer! He's the best! The service elevator started working the moment we got to the elevator area. :) :) :) Ang galing! Love talaga ako ni Lord!

Tsk.

One year today since the actual day of reckoning. Much as I want to reminisce on last year's events, let me just pass. It didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped it would, as R has remained his usual self, doing the same darn things mistakes. Yep, still at it - after the whole brouhaha. :( Sad. Of course, not with the same girl (!!!). But tsk. He still has the same (add expletives here) crew. That means, the same bunch of fools giving him foolish advice. Yep, the same folks who, instead of telling him what a fool he was for fooling around, placed him on a pedestal and worshiped his misdeeds. Tsk.

He wasn't in the mood to talk about anything today. I sent him a text to ask how he was, and didn't get a reply. And he sounded pissed when I called, so... so much for that.

Oh well. I pray for wisdom for R. May God reveal Himself to him.

Sad day for the Philippines today. Much more for Hong Kong. :( Makes you wish Jack Bauer was real, no? My heart goes out to all the victims of this sad, sad event. I pray for God's comfort. I also hope the police learn from today's incident. And that media would know when and how to exercise restraint, caution and good judgment when it comes to airing crisis situations LIVE. Tsk.
