When I Resent my Parents

When I went home, I mean to my parents' home in Anao-aon, Surigao del Norte, to celebrate my father's 67th birthday, I noticed my Aunt Sidra (my father's youngest sister) christmas lantern-making. I liked the materials she used, recycling the junk food wrappers. I then contracted her to make me at least 20 pieces of these small hanging lanrerns for a price of P15.00 a piece. I promised to pay her upon completion, which time I will be back in Manila. That was in October. November came and the lanterns were ready for pick up. I told my parents to pick and pay on my behalf but they declined from taking the chirstmas decor because there was no one to hang them on the ceiling. Of course, I understand that they were both old and can no longer climb or whatever. So I told them to hire somebody to hang the lanterns instead. But they insist to instead pay the amount but no longer claim the goods. It agitated me and forced them to pay and get the items no matter how they'll dis...

Who would've thought? I was in charged of registration and so I stayed at the door for the first few hours during the Fabs' 6th Christmas Party. When everyone was in, I went to the backstage to signal the candidates that the traditional beauty pageant to start. There were only four Fab members dressed in drag and so they begged me to dress up to complete the magic five. Deciding to dress drag at the last minute, I sat in front of the makeup mirror as my face was brushed and painted here and there by the hired artist. Candidate number one, there I came out. I stunned everone with my Ms India representation, including my boyfriend Erick. When the makeup artist asked me what I love to represent, I told him I rather be Miss India. And so he did and everyone was fascinated by my beauty; that includes me. I was assigned to present a song number dressed drag or not. And it turned out to be my talent in the pageant. I have the one and only talent presentation and rightly awar...

Go back to Hongkong and Macau

It has become my weakness to take advantage of promo fare either from Cebu Pacific Airlines or Philippine Airlines or AirAsia to get to Hong Kong any time of any year. This year I got another cheap ticket to the city as the tour guide for the Go Family. Ruth Arienza-Go is my good friend and classmate in college. We kept in touch all the time and thus they knew my planned trip to Hong Kong for the third time. Given their richness, they bought a higher-priced ticket just to fit their family's tour to my schedules. She brought with her her husband, Junjun, and the two older kids, Shawn Marty and John Tristan. I then reprogrammed my itinerary to suit to theirs as I guide them in their first overseas tour. I initially thought of crossing the border to Shenzhen but cancelled it the moment the Go family finalized their flight. Day 1 (November 30): City Tour alone I flew the Cebu Pacific Airline from Clark to Hongkong early that day and arrived at 9 in the morning in...
