The NBI is a BIG JOKE

by jackie on March 16, 2011 · No Comments

While the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and National Statistics Office (NSO) are keeping up with the times and upgrading their technology, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) have taken me and the rest of Philippine society back to the days when computers and internet were obsolete. I went to the NBI satellite office in [...]

We are not a Catholic Country

by jackie on February 26, 2011 · No Comments

Let me repeat the title for you. We are not a Catholic country. When will Filipinos understand that? It just so happens that the majority of Filipinos are Catholics, and a large portion of our population is Christian. There are other groups who do not believe in god or Jesus, you know? I am not [...]

Call Me a Human Being

by jackie on February 26, 2011 · No Comments

I always thought that to be part of a group, I had to be there for the highs and lows (most especially the lows); to suffer as the rest and to rejoice at the triumphs every member achieves. To be part of the group, I had to be good at pakikisama. But the past couple [...]

Passing It All To God

by jackie on February 16, 2011 · No Comments

I was hoping that 2011 would be a good year for me and my children. The amazing things haven’t happened YET, but I’m still hopeful. What pissed me off entirely about this whole situation was when a certain girl told me via instant messenger that I should pray to god to make things better. She [...]

Superheroes Vs Simple Moms

by jackie on February 16, 2011 · No Comments

Last night, I brought Y2 to my Aunt’s house. This is probably one of the most painful decisions I’ve had to make following a series of events that do not need to be detailed. This morning I was sitting in front of my computer looking at our bedroom door every few minutes hoping to see [...]

Government May Revive Death Penalty

by jackie on January 24, 2011 · No Comments

I don’t have an opinion about the Death Penalty, much like I am undecided about abortion. I neither have the time or the energy to digest all the “facts” from both sides. It takes more than a few essays, videos or even books to decide if I am pro or anti. This talk about bringing [...]

Empowering the People Through “Options”

by jackie on January 14, 2011 · No Comments

I’m in for the removal of the 60/40 provision in our constitution. I believe it’s going to provide us with more choices and the monopoly on services and products will stop. What this will mean to ordinary people like you and me: more options for consumers, more room for small businesses to grow and better [...]

Monopoly Guarantees Bad Service

by jackie on January 14, 2011 · No Comments

For a couple of days now, I’ve noticed that we lose both our internet connections around 1am. The reason I prefer to work at night is because our customers are from mainland US. Also, it’s easier to download photos from supplier servers and upload them into our sites. We have two SmartBro internet connections, I [...]

Y1, Y2 & Mommy Sick

by jackie on January 11, 2011 · No Comments

It’s been a rough week for me, and I would just really like for it to be over. The boys and I have been sick for a couple of days now. Y1 missed school today, and because he still has fever will probably be staying home for the rest of the week. I had to [...]

Different Opinions

by jackie on December 29, 2010 · No Comments

The one truth about humans that I cannot simply get over is that “people will always have an opinion about everything”. Don’t get me wrong, having an opinion means that you are thinking and that’s not a bad thing, but sometimes it becomes more about proving someone wrong because you think you can. And that [...]
