THE MOTHER'S ASSURANCE Dec 8, 2006 1:41 am Mood: good, 513 Views "Mommy, I don't want you to have girlfriend anymore. She's mean and she always yell at me," were the words my son uttered to me several times this week. "I am happy now that she's gone. I don't like strangers coming to our house," he continued as I hugged him. "Don't worry, my boy...no one can hurt you anymore either in words or in action, I promise you that!" was my assurance as I kissed and embraced him. "Thank you, mommy...you're the best mom I ever have!" and I LOL this time, "Ali Boy, I'm your only mom, nobody else," and the two of us giggled and made faces until our tummy got lots of air. 1 comment

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALI RAZA Dec 8, 2006 1:23 am Mood: happy, 519 Views You are now seven-years-old, my son. I can't believe how time flies. You got no school today because it's a PA day, what a wonderful way to celebrate your special day. Later on, we'll be going somewhere with the rest of the family so you can enjoy more. Maligayang kaarawan, Ali Boy. 2 Comments

IN THE NAME OF LOVE Dec 3, 2006 3:12 pm 712 Views When my ex-Pakistani husband picked up our seven-year-old son Ali Raza last Saturday, I showed him the photographs of the woman who maltreated our boy for several months. He said he now fully understands why Ali Raza was quiet and lonesome when he was with him. He sensed that something's wrong with our kid and that was the presence of the 26-year-old woman who I loved disturbed him. For more than six months, my boy suffered in tranquility, emotionally and verbally in the hands of the five foot woman I cared a whole lot. His young mind confused, his own feelings bruised, his freedom curtailed and so on. But his love for me is beyond comparison that he never let that chubby lass ruled him as he fought back in order for me to wake up from a mere shut-eye. Before Ali Raza went with his dad in the elevator, he hugged me while saying "I love you, mommy...I am happy that she's gone, you know. She's mean and she's rude. I don't like her!" I almost burst in tears for putting him at risks, for allowing him to be ridiculed and abused by my ex-flame, for giving her the lumpsum intended for him, for being there with her instead of him when he needed me the most. Ahhh, I did stupid things in the name of love. 5 Comments

MY SON VERSUS MY EX- FEMALE PARTNER Dec 2, 2006 2:06 am Mood: angry, 785 Views My general practioner or family doctor is a Nicole Kidman look-alike. She is a University of Toronto graduate and has two young sons. When I told her what happened since Nov. 15 up to the 24th, she couldn't believe because she knew me as a smart, quiet and obedient resident. In short, I loathe violence, I avoid physical trouble and all I wanted is a calm environment for my kid. I've never been to prison nor was I detained for any school, congregational, community or any work-related violation. For several months, my son was indirectly tortured and was verbally and emotionally abused by my ex-female partner. I tell you why. When Ali Raza sits on my lap, my girl would also sit and pushed away my boy until there's a tug-of-war between the two. Both of them are Sagittarians who have high pride, impatience and "sutil." Knowing my boy, he's gonna kick her butt, LOL. "You go home. You'll live alone from now on. I'll bring your mom into my house because you're rude and a bad boy!" she said on the 15th of November as she gave my keys to Ali Raza. When my child tried to go near me, my ex-partner intervened and hindered his way coming over me. It happened at the bus stop near my apartment. "You have to be tough on him and should learn how to punish or hit him," was her advised to me in high tone at nanlilisik ang mga mata, so upset because we failed to make love in full when my son kept knocking on the room door. She even uttered, "If I were your mom I'm gonna spank you and give you time-out all the time!" pointing her finger and yelling on top of her voice. When my ex and I were on the phone, my son couldn't make noise or be himself at my own apartment because his step mom wouldn't allow him else she would hang up on me and wouldn't answer the phone until she felt okay. These are only few of the other things she did to my precious child. 2 Comments

EGLINTON AND BATHURST IN TORONTO Dec 2, 2006 12:34 am Mood: relaxed, 712 Views After my doctor's appointment yesterday, I decided to buy two Nintendo games for my son and I chose Wave Race and Pilot Wings. They don't have any Super Mario stuff for the moment. Then I went to Pampanga's Best store and bought some groceries as well as cooked food such as sinigang na ulo ng bangus, pritong tilapya, kare-kare, sisig, ginataang sitaw/squash/langka, a large order of steamed rice, pinapaitan and pancit guisado. I took a cab afterwards because it was chilly, windy and the rain was falling hard. I was about to see my mom and dad but I decided to do it after this weekend. My son hugged, kissed and thanked me when I gave him my surprise treat for being a good boy and he excitedly played his new video games for several hours that when his dad phoned him he said he's busy, LOL. 1 comment

TUBIG AT LANGIS Dec 1, 2006 5:14 am 693 Views Sagittarius with Taurus . . . Oil and Water Taurus the passionate, the home body, the methodical and the possessive, with Sagittarius the easy living, outgoing, freedom lover, impatient - nobody can possess Sagittarius. No one can make them stay home. No one can make them deliberate. Taurus will have to give to make this relationship work. Containing Sagittarius is like trying to contain a fire; dangerous and difficult. These are two very different personality types, but demonstrate many similarities. These similarities work to bring them together in the beginning but with no staying power. This relationship only works if Taurus allows Sagittarius their freedom and shares their ideals. My mom and my dad are married for 50 years already. It's my dad who's the sole reason why their marriage is still intacked. If not for my father's understanding, patience and generosity, I doubt if they're still together. I'm not like my dad so I stayed away from a one-sided relationship at once for the sake of my seven-year-old son who needs me more. I think the S in Sagittarius means SALLIE, hehehe. 1 comment

ATTRIBUTES IN GENERAL Dec 1, 2006 4:51 am 695 Views Sagittarians are positive people; they have a bright outlook on life, are enterprising, full of energy and vitality. Versatile, adventurous and eager to expand their range beyond the comfortable and familiar. They enjoy travel and exploring, and their minds are continually searching for new experiences. They are ambitious, optimistic folk, and nothing seems to get them down. They are idealists, and this seems to keep them going even when life disappointments crop up and smash their plans. "To keep on, keepin' on" is a Sagittarian way of life. They have a tendency to get over zealous when they are interested in something. They are believers, and what they believe in, they are willing to fight for. They are both loyal and independent at the same time. They manage to balance both traits. Sagittarians are usually modest and often spiritual, with strong values. They like rituals, and sometimes can get caught up in form, rather than substance. They are profound thinkers, and are gifted with foresight and good judgment. Witty conversationalists and story tellers, they do have the gift of gab. They are avid learners, love to initiate new projects and make great researchers. They are quick studies, with keen minds. They have an expectant attitude and a penchant for new experiences, which may account for the fact that Sagittarians are noted for their longevity. They are often intuitive and original thinkers. Better at adapting than inventing, they work well in collaboration with others. A strong-will and good organization ability combined with their other talents usually bring any project they undertake to a successful conclusion. They are generous by nature, but are quite resourceful in caring for and balancing their resources. Sagittarians are ardent, sincere and straightforward in relationships. They are generally conventional and in control of their sexual natures. Because of their independent nature, maintaining a close personal relationship is difficult. They prefer a solid home base, but as a place to return to when they have completed a particular travel venture. They have a compelling need to feel free, and sometimes make this choice at the expense of a 9 to 5 career, or even a family. Sagittarians are versatile people and can be found in a number of professions. They are by nature teachers and philosophers. Nothing is better play to a Sagittarian than expounding on the moral principles, laws and ideas that explain the universe. Through these traits they serve well as theologians or scientists. They are also suited to the law, politics, public service or social administration. Being natural communicators, they do well in public relations or advertising. Inquisitive and restless, they suffer if their opportunities are limited, but they thrive within their natural field of travel and exploration. Many Sagittarians will be found in jobs that allow them to exercise their natural desire to see the world. If it can be said that there is one true Sagittarian vocation, it is to guide and educate. 0 Comments

THE SAGITTARIANS IN MY LIFE Dec 1, 2006 4:24 am Mood: ecstatic, 700 Views My ex-partner's birthday is Nov. 25 My mom & my eldest sister ~ Nov. 27 My son Ali Raza's birthday Dec. 8 My brother-in-law is on December 12. S A G I T T A R I U S November 22-December 21 "Challenging authority may make you feel powerful, but you could end up in a heated argument over issues that you ultimately see as trivial. Pursue a higher goal and see these gripes for what they are -- pure pettiness!" (For Dec. 01) In friendship they are reliable, and can be counted on. However, they have a quick temper and a "biting tongue," often speaking before giving forethought to the full effect of their words. Their rage may pass quickly, but the "stinging of their comments" often remains. On the other hand, they are quick to forgive an affront and extremely dependable to a friend or family member who needs looking after. The vices to which Sagittarius is prone are anger - they tend to flare up over trifles, and impatience - they want to rush every new project through immediately and can be too demanding. They are quick to jump on "inadequacies of others while expecting full recognition of their own efforts." 1 comment

GENDER CHANGE Dec 1, 2006 1:53 am Mood: high, 755 Views I just deleted it from my plans because it will cost me more money. Hadn't you shown your true colors, I can give you at least $2,500 pocket money for your five-week vacation. But you don't deserve it, my child does! 1 comment

THANK YOU, SHELLY Dec 1, 2006 1:51 am Mood: good, 696 Views My son will surely miss you. Today is your last day to be his supply teacher since school commenced. I know my boy was sort of naughty in several occasions but he loves you and always excited to see you and his friends. I hope you liked the gifts we gave you yesterday especially the Victoria Secret perfume, Disney Mickey mug, chocolates, stuffed toy and other collectibles. Until we meet again. Thank you so much for being a part of his life. 1 comment
