Missing FB Account
Missing FB since yesterday. The account must have been sabotaged by those who perceive me as enemy.
Spent almost the whole day playing tong-it, a card game, at Ang's place. What a waste of time and I only won more than a hundred pesos.
It was already evening when I went home. Placed lotto bets on 45, my chosen number and a lucky pick costing me P20. Bought sisig, roasted pig meat, (P120) but did not eat it for dinner. Instead, I ate fried fish in slices brown. Took a bath and put on a Wagner polo.
It's now 4:03 in the morning. Have drank the usual hot water in a mug, Read and applied A Practical Guide to Self-Massage, a Reader's Digest book.
Rains pattering the rooftop. But at 7:15 a.m. the sun is hiding behind the clouds. Yesterday was a clear day, but the sun was not fully out in all its glory. Maybe, it will not be the same today,
Read Ramon Tulfo's column at online Inquirer about the meeting between long time enemies, the convicted plunderer Joseph Estrada and Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis Chavit Singson, during the birthday party of Tulfo. He, Tulfo, concluded that the secret of the good health of Erap is his forgiving nature. Chavit was the whistle-blower that exposed the corruption of Estrada and caused him to be ousted in office by a military coup. He was replaced by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, now under arrest at St. Luke's hospital, for the crimes committed during her watch.
Estrada is free, having gained Gloria's presidential pardon, while the woes of the Little Woman and her husband, have just only begun.
