Two married woman went to a tea party and ended up staying way too late and had no ride home.  So they decided to walk.  While walking both of them felt that they have to go poopies.  They saw the cemetery with some bushes to hide.

One woman go to the other side while the other on the opposite side.  Problem was they don’t have anything to wipe their butt.  So one woman uses her panty to wipe her butt and throws it away, and the other just found a wreath and use that to wipe hers.

The next day both husbands were talking, husband number 1  said, maybe we should know what our wives are doing while they were away.  My wife just went home last night without panty.  Husband number 2 said, I think you are right, but my wife has some card stuck in her butt and said ” we love you and we will miss you” from “Toyota sales department”.

Have you ever connect to a friend? I mean real connection, did you ever felt that you are sisters or brothers with different mothers.  All you wanted everyday was to be with them, and talk to them, laugh with them, do a little shopping or just gossip..

I have an experience that tore my heart so bad. 2006 I met this girl through an acquaintance, first day we met we are a hit, because we are not too old or young apart, we share something in common, we have american  husband, and we basically go through the same immigration process that sometimes really frustrating.

During those times I work as a manager, I am not responsible for so many things, so every time I am out of the restaurant I am free to do anything with what time I have  in my hands. She calls me or I call her, we set up something to do almost every week that we are friends.  We go to this mall, we go to this store, we eat, well,, she cooks and I just eat… LOL, I am not a big kitchen guru but I know my way around. But she is so awesome in the kitchen… great cook!

We are so happy and then she got pregnant.  I am excited and she is too.  So she went through the pregnancy and gave birth to a baby boy.  Very very cute kid, I love babies but I have none at the moment.  Any ways, she had a caesarean operation and I have a lot of questions about body changes, especially with her because she is my friend and we have the same physique.  I ask how was it done, was it painful, she showed me her scars and I am like AWWWWW!!!! I feel so bad.

And then I ask if her boobs change, does it sag or is it the same way.  Not knowingly that she doesn’t like this kind of topic, I kept on asking and she didn’t tell me that she is already offended for what I am asking her.  She went on being mad and not telling a darn thing in my face, so I thought everything is cool.

Then I got the promotion to be GM, this time more time needed and more responsibility, so I am not as free as I was before, I forgot who called last or who didn’t return calls.  Anyways, I thought she was just busy with the baby and I am way busy with my job, I still think that we are cool.

Then July 2007, my husband and I bought a lovely home in Worcester, we set up a house warming party and I wanted all my friends to be there.  I called her up and her husband answered, I ask how he is doing and how is the baby, he said everything is fine. Then she called my friend to talk to me, I blurted a joke, by saying how are you??? are you pregnant again??? Then she became so mad and just start blabbing about how I am so weird in the head because I am asking this kind of questions with boobs and stuff.

I got caught off guard and told her I was just kidding, and I am the way that I am especially with my close friends and families.  Then she just drop the bomb… she said “WE ARE NOT THAT CLOSE”  I mean I thought we have something really specially but I guess I am mislead and just blinded by the fact that we are not even friends….

I am so devastated and told her, how sorry I am and I didn’t know that she is sensitive about it, and promise not to do it again.  You know what she told me….. “JUST KEEP ON TELLING EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED ALMOST FOUR MONTHS AGO AND DIDN’T EVEN ACCEPT MY APOLOGY”  So I told her, we cannot continue of being friends, or are we even friends??? If you cannot accept my apology just forget that you met me or knew me at all…… I told her, I am hanging up because I can’t keep my tears from falling down. As soon as I hang up the phone, I just started crying and crying, I regret the days that I wasted and the time that I felt I was a friend of her.

The thing is filipino community is very small and almost every one knows every body, so every time there is a party every one is invited and we usually got invited together, but for almost two years we haven’t say a word to each other. I miss the boy she have, too bad can’t be too close. We saw each other in one of the kids parties, I saw the little boy and hugged him and told him how I miss him, then it’s time for them to leave, I was holding the boy while she is getting the car ready for them, then she just took the kid in my hands without saying a darn word!!! I feel like an idiot!

Now my husband just make a very awkward gesture last party that we are both in.  He pull my hands towards her and told the two of us how silly it is, I got so upset and just walk away. Then she told one of my friends that I should go to her house and met with her, I was like….. why through you not directly to me… I guess, right now, I am very happy with the amount of friends that I have, maybe I will make amends and be civil but I can’t promise to be more than that.  What do you think????

Basically, my dad left me and my 5 siblings and my mother without  anything to start with.  But even though it’s tough life has to go on.  

My mother didn’t teach us to hate our father even though he did what he did to all of us, she still said that we should respect him.  I mean all of us are obedient and respectful with our mother so we have to honor her wishes.

When my oldest sister graduated from high school, she ask my mother’s permission to go to Manila to work for my father’s sister as maid.  She said she could make money and try to help out.  So my mother said yes.  When she was leaving with my Aunt in Manila she just learned that my father also residing in the same vicinity.  So she found out that my father has a new wife.

She was so angry and told my mother in the letter to go to Manila.  I was 14 at that time, so we pack and off we went.  The first time in 6 years that I’ve laid eyes on my father, I was so angry and I was so confused, because I felt that I miss him too.  So he hug me and I just started wailing and just tears come down like there’s no more water in the ocean.

Then he said he was sorry and he’s going to be in touch from now on.  I mean my dad is leaving a good life, with jewelries and with money, he goes overseas to work for a year and come back with tons of money.  I felt that every one in my family deserve a piece because it’s his responsibility.

We started corresponding and he’s giving us some support, and I just wish that my family could be whole again.  Forgive and forget could be the remedy.  My mother is entirely open to that.

Then I graduated high school and he was with me, I was proud.  I guess sometimes dreams really do come true.

If you go to the Philippines, almost everyone wanted to go to US.  They’re reason ” it’s the land of milk and honey”  I’ve been in US for almost 7 years, the milk and honey i haven’t tasted I guess.

Well, there are so many things that is so great in the US, (1) every one has opportunity to do good, (2) you can drive a car and not be so rich (3) so can have beef and fresh fruits everyday.

But they don’t know how hard it is to live here.  There are so many bills, water, electric, mortgage, phones, cable, auto insurance, house insurance, health insurance if you don’t have a job you are screwed.  Oh and yeah CREDIT card bills,  It’s so easy to be in debt here, because almost everyone give you a credit card.

I never use a credit card until I got here, and if you don’t have a credit card your credit score is not good either.  So you have to have one and you have to use it. GREAT! so now I am in DEBT!

I wanted to get out of debt and be normal like you would have a little bit of money and all is well.  I guess in US you never feel that you are financially stable unless you retire or some retired people still work.  So in here all you have to do is work and work but no money being left in your pocket it all goes to creditors.

I don’t know what to do if someone can just gave me 20 grand I guess that only thing I need to do is pay my mortgage.  Well just wishful thinking.

In my town there are these people that we call NPA (national people’s army) they basically rebels. They do stuff that you don’t want to be done to you or your family.  They could just make you disappear without any trace.  

When I was 8 years old my dad told my mother that he is wanted by NPA, and he is very scared and wanted to hide from them so all of us will be safe.  So my mother not knowing what to do told him to go to Manila where my dad’s sister live and stay there for a while, and come back when the commotions are over.

And that was the last time I ever saw my dad.  Isn’t it so lousy?? He just left my mother with 6 children and the youngest being 6 months old, without money without anything.  No promise to come back or just no conscience at all.  I HATED my dad for that! 

I remember my two oldest sisters, they have to go and work as a maid with my aunts so they could go to school and so my mother doesn’t need to worry about how to feed all of us.  My mother was left with four kids, I was the one who is the oldest 8 years old is very old I guess.  

I started working when I was 8, helping my mother how to get food to put in the table and how to survive everyday living.  We sell sweets (kalamay), we go houses to houses to rent comics and magazine, we sell banana queue in the afternoon.  I remember those days, that is a lot of work. But we got to do what we have to do to survive.

I prayed that someday my family could be whole again.  I pray for my little brother ’s health, my little sister’s doll that they wanted and my two sisters to have strong faith and be able to do what they have to do to go to school.

I remember having to buy 1/4 kilo of pork and slice it in little pieces so all of us could taste some.  Beef they only sell it on saturdays but some saturdays we don’t have money for it, so we have to wait for another saturday to come. Some times we have to really put a lot of soup in our food so it would look like it has a lot. 8 years old, I already know how to cook, take care of my baby sister and how to make money only little though.

We go to bed lined up, like sardines without bed all in the floor.  When it’s really cold we have to squeeze together.  I remember seeing my mother looking over us when we were sleeping and she is just crying. I still don’t understand all that happened.  

Remembering these times in my life make me want to cry and hold my mother so tight and tell her how I love her so much for not giving up and for making us very strong individual.  Happy mother’s day Nanay!

This article is from www.gmanews.tv

MANILA, Philippines - Four years ago, two singers became the first ever full-blooded Filipinos to almost dominate one of the biggest and most popular television franchises: American Idol.

And so Filipinos thought that Jasmine Trias and Camille Velasco, who could belt out Olympian vocal climaxes, were the best contribution of the Philippines to the famous pineapple state.

But then 32-year-old gospel balladeer Jon Almosara comes into the picture and suddenly every one is left thinking again.

The singer is the latest Filipino-American from Hawaii to crack into the popularity radar and receive recognition for his musical gift after snagging a trophy at the 11th Annual Hawaii Music Awards in the Gospel/Inspirational Music category for his musical album, “Thankful.”

In his acceptance speech, Jon began by telling the story of a kid who knew nothing but sing praises to the Lord.

“I’m one of those kids who sang in church all his life so I’m used to singing gospel (music),” a visibly ecstatic Jon shared, as he clutched the coveted golden statuette.

“But I’m not used to getting an award for it and so this is something else and I’m so glad,” he ended shyly, before breaking into a soulful and soaring rendition of the Christian classic, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
