yahoo!
1. I earned a substantial amount from doing book summaries (my part-time job / "racket") this month. My goal: to do at least 4 book summaries next month.
2. Condo payment assured til June 2005. Next goal: to have a buffer of at least 5 months. (hmmm, better save more and do more book summaries).
3. Having little or no carbo intake for the past week has done wonders. I fit into my old jeans this am. Have to have more will power to say no to chips, cakes, pasta and pizza. "Pigging-out" on ice cream, cake and pasta today (my officemate's bday) means that i will have to lessen my carbo intake tomorrow... did i say lessen? I mean, i should try not to have any carbo for the next few days. hehehe... will a chip hurt?

Edsa 1
Tomorrow, February 25, the Philippines will be commemorating the anniversary of EDSA 1. To those born after Edsa1 and/or are too young to remember, Fenruary 25 will seem just another holiday (and the chance to go out of town), but to those who have lived and experience the darkest days of the Marcos rule, it will be remembered as the day when the people spoke against the oppressive dictator.
Happy Edsa1! Hope the spirit of Edsa remains in us and inspire us to change.

german measles
I woke up today with rashes in different parts of my body (arms, hands, legs, feet). Although i was concerned about it, I dismissed it as an allergic reaction to something I ate or to dust. So i treated it with a topical ointment to lessen the itch, and got ready for the office.
I said to myself that i will go to the doctor the next day to have it checked and will just observe if the rashes will worsen within the day. When i got to the office, the rashes seemed to have spread...fortunately, the office doctor was in and i was able to visit her and consult regarding the rashes.
After a quick interiew and check-up, she told me that i have a case of german measles. She then gave me medicine and told me to take it for 3 days. I think the medicine was for the itch (to lessen it).
When i checked the Net on german measles, i found out that it usually last for 3 days. Buti n lang walang pasok bukas... it looks like i would be spending this long weekend at home.
I remember when i was younger, i had the measles. My siblings had it too. I think they even had the german measles the same year. Hay naku, hindi kaya I'm too old to get this?

i hate this...
I hate this feeling of not knowing what will happen next...
I hate this feeling of waiting for the phone to ring and the phone never does ring...
I hate the feeling of anticipating for things that never pushes through...
Why can't some people have the decency to advise people before hand? Or be sensitive enough that the world does not revolve around them?

kat's take
Got this one from a friend:
Hmmm, do you agree?
Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most susceptible?
Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company orhelping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?
Hmmm, do you agree?
what???
This one's for the books... it seems to be straight out of a movie or telenovela: An ex-congressman / ex-actor is the prime suspect for a kidnapping gang.
Where is the country going to? We can't even trust elected officials (or ex-officials), we can't trust the police... we can't even trust our neighbors.

Islamic subjects in public schools
While browsing the papers this morning, i came across this article: "Islamic subjects to be taught in some public schools - Deped" (Philippine daily inquirer, page A5, Feb 15, 2005).
This is welcome news... I do hope that with the introduction of Islamic subjects in some public schools, will forster more understanding between the Muslims and Christians. I believe that understanding of each other's religion will pave the way for a better relationship.
------------
I remember during my elementary and high school days in Zamboanga (I was enrolled in a state run school), Islamic values subject taught to us once a week during our values education subject. I remember Muslim students were excused from regular class (christian values were also taught the same day)to attend the to the Islamic values class. I do wish more schools will be able to offer Islamic subject
Public elementary schools with sizeable numbers of Muslim students would be required to teach Islamic subjects starting next school year.
Starting June, Arabic and Islamic values will be taught along with regular subjects of Math, Science, English, Filipino and Makabayan. Taking up Arabic and Islamic Values will be optional for non-Muslims.
