Running an errand for my mom is also a malling time for me…
(Her clinic is usually near malls so I always stopped by)
I go to each shop and walk until my legs and feet would talk to me and say “I need a rest…” Creepy huh?! JK.
Yes, I am alone, not that I don’t have someone to be with, it’s just something I enjoy by myself… (whutta LONER right?)
Anyway, while I was giving my feet a rest at McDonald’s (without buying something. LOL!) for about five minutes… I noticed something…
5 people (Middle Aged) actually high-fived Ronald and 1 School Age girl had attempted to do the same…
Oh well, my guess is that, it’s actually a kind of reflex thing that when someone high-fived you, you will indeed high-fived back… (whether you know him or not…:p)
Just an observation. What do you think? Lol.
P.S

While riding a jeepney…
(I was in the front seat)
*jeepney placard reads “MCU-IKOT”
Teenager: “Manong, iikot po ba kayo?”
Driver: “Kasama yung jeep bakit?”
Teenager: *silence*
Dianne: *looking away* thinking… “Si manong patawa amp.”
Driver: “Oo iikot ako kasama yung jeep kasi kung ako lang, mahihilo ako…”
Teenager: …………………………. (well, I don’t know… I was looking away)
Dianne: *blunt affect* Or… I did try to smile for the driver’s effort to crack a joke… (that is if he noticed, I was looking away right? LOL.

The first ever Filipino-produced National Geographic documentary, “Asia’s Titanic” directed by Yam Laranas will air on August 25, 2009 across Asia at 8:00 PM.
This full-length documentary is about the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster, MV Doña Paz that collided with an oil tanker, MT Vector last December 1987, just five days before Christmas. For about 5,000 passengers only a few survived this unfavorable event.
In watching this documentary, you will see how the survivors painfully account the tragedy as it was reenacted. According to Andrew Roque (producer) and Yam Laranas (director), it took them 3 years to make this documentary and it really passed through an eye of a needle to be chosen by National Geographic among other foreign documentaries.
Maritime tragedies still continues to hit the Philippines however, as clarified by the producer and the team behind Asia’s Titanic that the documentary is not investigative but rather, an eye-opener for us all.
The first time I heard about this tragedy was when I attended one Red Cross training. My instructors were always using that as an example of mass casualty. I didn’t bother to search it up on the web and didn’t care.
It was shameful for me not to know about this though it happened years before I was born, it was only when I had an opportunity to be able to watch the premiere release of this documentary that I realized how catastrophic this event was. Then I said, “Ahh… yan pala yung Sulpicio na sinasabi nila…”. It opened my eyes to be socially concern about events that are happening in the country, not only that, but also in the whole world.
This documentary is another pride for us Filipinos.
So what are you waiting for… Mark your calendars on August 25, 8:00 PM and tune in at the National Geographic channel. Catch the replay on August 26, 2009 at 4:00 AM and 9:00 AM.
Sabi ng matatanda…
Kapag gusto mo maging kambal ang magiging anak mo…
Dapat daw kumaen ang buntis ng kambal na saging…
(If you want to have twins, pregnant woman should eat a twin banana…:])
This is just one of the numerous old sayings here in the Philippines. This is the first time that I saw a twin banana since I’ve ever known it. And so, I was fascinated and took a photo of it. Unfortunately, a part of it was rotten already…
