On Other News.
Not that I really care but:
- Sam Milby and Marie Digby are really that close??? I mean they text, they call each other, deny rumors... but, seriously?
- Kim Chiu was rumored committing suicide coz of Gerald Anderson? Seriously? I mean, the rumor wasn't about anorexia?
- Last week, there was a Fire Tornado in Brazil, A big fire in San Francisco due to a gas pipe explosion and a 7.2-magnitude earthquake in New Zealand. Uh... 2012 came a little too early.
No seriously, here is my news.
I was rushed to the ER of Medical Center Manila because of my record-breaking blood pressure. 200/140. I asked God for a raise, but i think he missed my point.
I stayed there under observation waiting for my BP to normalize. Doctor said if I didnt change my lifestyle and diet, I might say byebye and go blog in heaven. (Coz I am pretty sure Ill be going to heaven. :p)
I blamed the food I am having but he said that it could cause a spike but not to that extent. It is mostly of stress.
Oh God knows what I am stressing about. Now I have to be a selfish bitch and start taking good care of my heart.
Well, like a friend said, it is a Blessing in a very scary disguise.
Or should I say, Blessing in its Halloween costume.
I was just drowning on my bed, had a fit on Ehboi (sorry!!!) then got back on track by trying to find the meds I should've been taking but instead got a free Cinnamon Swirl (c/o Roemart) and a Grande Caramel cream-based w/ Raspberry syrup, with Ryan and Mart. (mentioned friends are not included in my coffee)
I still feel a lil woozy if you might ask.
The Mystery of August.
I was browsing on the news I have missed the past 2 weeks and this one caught my attention. I actually remembered that the month of August has been too coincidentally bad for the Aquino Family, then I bumped on this article.
----------
August not a good month for Aquinos
It seems the month of August has not been kind to the family of President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.
A feedback post by reader cjcool2000ph showed that the month of August has been a pain in the neck for the Aquinos.
On August 21, 1983, Aquino's father, Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., was assassinated at the tarmac of the Manila International Airport. The assassination fueled growing anti-Marcos sentiment that would later lead to the ouster of dictator Ferdinand Marcos during the EDSA People Power Revolution.
On Aug. 28, 1987, the government of then President Cory Aquino faced a serious challenge when rebel soldiers led by RAM leader Gringo Honasan attacked Malacañang Palace in a power grab. The siege left several casualties including Noynoy, who was shot 5 times. One bullet is still embedded in his neck to this day.
The bloody coup left 53 dead and more than 200 wounded.
On August 1, 2009, tragedy struck the Aquino clan yet again when the former president, Cory Aquino, succumbed to colon cancer. Her death and the widespread outpouring of support for the Aquino clan is widely acknowledged as the factor that pushed her son "Noynoy" to pursue the presidency. Aquino won the presidency last May via a landslide vote.
On August 23, 2010, Manila police bungled a hostage-taking incident in Rizal Park that left 8 Hong Kong tourists dead. The event has chilled relations between Hong Kong and the fledgling government of President Aquino. A 5-man panel is currently investigating the incident.
The hostage crisis was not the only misfortune that befell Filipinos last month.
Last month also saw the tragic death of 2009 Binibining Pilipinas International Melody Gersbach, along with 2 companions, in a car accident in Camarines Sur on August 21.
August also saw several major traffic accidents involving buses.
On August 18, a bus fell off a cliff in Sablan, Benguet, killing 41 out of 49 people onboard. Two days later, 8 Don Bosco students died after the bus they were riding hit a pine tree in Dalaguete, Cebu province.
On August 29, five people were killed and another 47 injured when a bus fell off a cliff in Pagbilao, Quezon.
Mechanical failure has been blamed in all 3 cases.
Ironically, the hostage crisis in Rizal Park also involved a bus.
Hungry Ghost festival
August is also considered an unfavorable month for the Chinese because it falls on the 7th month of the Chinese lunar calendar, also called the Ghost Month. In Chinese tradition, the Ghost Month is when ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm.
Feng shui expert Marites Allen states that Ghost Month climaxes on the 14th day of the month when the Chinese celebrate the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts.
"They believe that hungry ghosts are ghosts of people that have not found everything they need to survive in the afterlife. If a ghost passes on, but does not have enough food, water, shelter, and other material things, it will come back into the world of the living to scare people and feed off their energy and fear. This month is believed to be the time when the gates of hell are opened to free the hungry ghosts who then wander not only to seek food on earth but also to cause misfortune to the living," Allen said in a Philippine Star column.
Allen said the Hungry Ghosts Festival is an occasion that the Chinese take seriously. She said Chinese families forbid swimming during the month and advise their children to go home early and not wander alone at night.
"Thus, it is not surprising that swimming pools, beaches, shopping malls, and cinemas suffer a dip in business during this month. This is also a month considered unlucky to get married, start a business, move house or even to travel," she said.

All I Ever Wanted...
... is someone that will never lose a second, to just make a promise that I could be the only one. Someone who couldn't live without me. No buts. No doubts.
I Disappear.
I didnt have the typical weekend everybody is ideally having. I definitely conclude that once you turn old, everything is set in place. Except having the choice to unwind, or just stare at the ceiling waiting for your friends to send you a text, or a facebook notification perhaps.
Sometimes everything becomes too hard to bear. It even goes beyond the unexpected. Like friends being too over-familiar, getting too tired of the same drama when you were a decade younger. Or "loving" the same person despite of dealbreakers you just try to ignore, or explain rationally to yourself.
While doing the laundry at around 9pm, my sister left the dvd on, watching David Copperfield's 15 years of Magic. I just stared at the TV seeing him disappear, go through walls, lose the statue of liberty and produce snow out of his bare hands. I wondered, life must be too easy for him.
I would try to lose the promises intended to be broken. The lies everybody kept on doing. The expectations everyone sets. I will produce happy pills with my bare hands to change my mood. For my own mind to just stop thinking. For my heart to just stop hurting. For every organ that churns everytime my whole body freezes up when I got no one to talk about those fucked up broken promises and truth that I should just accept without feeling anything. I would go through walls and disappear, to just avoid the people who never tried understanding what I really want. What I really need. Because everybody thinks they know better. I cant blame them because we teach people how to treat us. I just never expected I taught almost everyone be toxic and just be plain inconsiderate about what others might feel.
I am the class clown. I am the funny guy. I am the crazy one. That's why I think that I unintentionally made everyone think that I don't need a tap on my back. Or just a plain listening skill. No, everyone thinks its just shit.
I try to be happy. I even tried those new age beliefs about positivity and visualization. Was I not trying hard enough?
I have been building my dreams with cards. Can everyone please hold their fucking breath for a minute and let me stare at it after putting the last card? Or better yet, get out of my fucking life. Go find somebody else's life to ruin.
Or just enjoy what I've built. And appreciate that it's not just crap, it's my work. Have you ever thought I might've building it my whole life?

Happy Friday.
The past two weeks were a rollercoaster ride. Days were like the weather and moods were swingin hard.
My ex added me up in facebook. We havent seen, talked, or whatever for almost seven years. Or six. Then we messaged, exchanged numbers.
I got a pair of shoes for 400 pesos. Crazy. Good crazy.
Im just too happy. Without anything sensible to blog. lol
