Seis - Proof read!

Came upon this in the office today, I found it hilarious, we couldn't get over it haha. I can understand when reporters are live on air, make this mistake and correct themselves instantly. But this? That's what proof reading is for. Caahmannn, such a big thing to miss out.

Here's what I'm talking about:




I had no ddea she died too over the weekend, did you? lol Kidding aside, there are big consequences for careless actions like these like scaring your paper's reputation. How sad, I feel sad for whoever wrote it and forgot to proof read. Oh well, we will expect one big long apology page dedicated for this soon. Haha


Toodles! :)

Cinco - Today is officially Yellow day


So we are here, at Starbucks Santana Grove waiting for Tita Cory's remains to pass by to head off to Manila Memorial.

There are soo many people here at Starbucks. We were lucky enough to get a parking slot right by Sucat road. So by the time that the processions passes by we can watch from the roof of our cars. It is overwhelming seeing all these people here. There are people from all walks of life. As a matter of fact my mom made new friends. Hehe. We'll be here for quite some time since the procession is by Luneta as of the moment. Here are a few pics, will update once i get more pics of the actual procession.

Tres - Tita Cory

I actually had no plans on watching Former President Cory Aquino's procession along ayala ave although during lunch I realized the streets in Legaspi Village were so empty. So after a quick lunch, me and Gelo took the little walk to Ayala Ave. And Like what the TV had reported the place was raining Confetti/Shreded office paper/yellow pages. Haha Me and Gelo did not attempt to go to the front of the pack therefore we stayed along the walk way in front of enterprise.

The moment when Cory's coffin passed us, it was uplifting. I have never been part of anything like it before (since i'm a people power baby). It was good feeling that I was a part of History in some way or another by being there. And seeing all those people there gave me hope that the Filipinos do care about their Nation. And there, in the coffin, was the first lady President in Asia and the first to let the Filipinos know, that Democracy does exist and we have hope. Now that she's gone I hope that the Filipino people will continue to make smart decisions and elect someone to power who can represent not only our people but also our democracy.
