Air New Zealand’s “Nothing to hide”
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Have you been in an airplane? Well… nung una, I really listen attentively sa mga chorva nang mga attendants and everything. Because I have always been on a plane for most of the time, di ko na sila pinapansin. Not anymore… I might have to start looking at them - maybe not listening but looking at them.
Sa New Zealand kasi, the crew were body-painted who cheerfully give the safety instructions, including where to stow baggage and how to use oxygen masks. O laban kayo?! Hahaha! Siempre the crew’s “naughty parts” are blocked dahil baka ipa-barangay si reyna elena noh? Watch.

Naisip ko lang Saberdey morning pag-gizing ko. Ura-urada akong nag-expedia, litsi! Presyo aabot nang round-trip around the world ang pamasahe. I spent the whole week-end nag-hahanap nang sale.

Honduran President Zelaya was arrested by the military!
I was shocked by the news! Naduling ata ako because I was panning the news. Ang pagkabasa ko “President was arrested by the military!” Kinabahan ako with excitement!
Photo Credits: CNN
I re-read the news. Honduras pala. They sent Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya to Costa Rica today, Sunday after a military-led coup.
What was the drama all about?
“Zelaya, a leftist elected in 2005, has found himself pitted against the other branches of government and military leaders over the issue of Sunday’s planned referendum. It would ask voters to place a measure on November’s ballot allowing the formation of a constitutional assembly that could modify the nation’s charter to allow the president to run for another term. His four-year term ends in January 2010, and he cannot run for re-election under current law.” Source: Honduras president calls military action ‘brutal kidnapping’
Huh?! Kebigan ba sya nang mga Con-Ass??? Me similarity ba kayong nakikita??
Pag nakatikim ka nga naman nang power! Gusto na nang mga ‘to, forever! Hmpt!

The many faces of Michael Jackson
At one point in time, nung dumating ako nang Amerika, muntik ko nang ipa-bukaka mata ko at ipatukod ang ilong ko na nag-kalat sa muka ko. Parati kasing napapag-diskitahan nang mga ulol kong kebigan. Yes, at that time, I even asked how much it would cost me. Sabi ko, di bale na, kakayanin ko na lang ang mga panlalait. Di na ko muling tumawag sa cosmetics doktor. (Read: priority ko mga boylets ko.)
People change. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes… well. Basta they change. But I will never understand Michael Jackson why he did this to his face.

Conrad Murray: Michael Jackson’s Doctor

I have to point out something that although everyone is looking for Michael Jackson’s doctor, according to MSNBC:
“Authorities said they spoke with Jackson’s private doctor briefly Thursday and Friday and expected to meet with him again soon. Police stressed that the doctor, identified by the Los Angeles Times as cardiologist Conrad Murray, was not a criminal suspect.”

Michael Jackson: 1958-2009
For every accomplishments, Michael Jackson has always been hounded by bad luck. Remember, 13 of his songs hit No. 1 and he won 13 Grammy Awards.
I am one with the world in mourning the passing of the greatest artist of our time, Michael Jackson. I may not be happy with how he lived his life during his last few years on earth, but I can’t set aside the fact that he is the greatest in his art. Bigger than life. Bigger than Iran. So big, the events in Iran has fizzled out. So now, I am just not in mourning of Michael Jackson but all of the brave Iranians who will now be sidelined by this biggest headline in the world.
Michael Jackson touched our lives. We praised him for what he has accomplished. We ridiculed him for all his mistakes. He became such a megastar, Americans don’t understand why he is so popular outside of America. Ask my officemates. They are in awe seeing pictures from Europe. It seemed to me that the spotlight is always on him.
And so, reyna elena dot com reflects on his great music. Here goes..

Who is Jessie Robredo?
Photo Credits: US Aid: Civil Society Strengthening Conference - May 2008
Eversince the Asiaweek Magazine cited Naga City as one of the most improved cities in Asia, I started reading articles upon articles of Jessie Robredo. One of the write-up about him that I happen to run across was a good one. It’s from one of the forums I used to frequent before I started blogging. Let me share you what I read. Now, I have to remind you, this entry on the forum was made in 2005! An tagal na! No worries! I will get some updates! But for now, I love this one because I saved the link for all these years! Can you imagine? Hahaha!

I’m not Iranian but I feel the Iranians
I’m not Iranian but I feel the Iranians. Who would’nt? If you’re Filipino who have participated in the ousting of Marcos in 1986 and the succeeding EDSA People Power, I’m sure you’d be able to relate to what’s going on in Teheran. The closest I came to an Iranian was in Legazpi City, one Iranian guy fleeing the Ayatollah at the time came to Legazpi City to study at the Bicol Christian College of Medicine. He was staying at my friends house, renting a room. That’s how we came to know him and became our barkada. Very good-looking, very funny and very friendly. If not for his looks, he fits very well within our crazy group of friends who always hang out almost every night after class. And boy does he drink! And it is such a bad time to be Iranian. I could only imagine the difficulty they must be getting all over the Western World, what with the 911, and economic hardship in Iran and just being Iranian, if you know what I mean.

One family affair: A Greek Wedding
After my niece’s elementary graduation, after the barbeque that was rained out, after another uber secret appointment, there was another event I attended. At dahil bangag ako nang gabi before, I was not able to go to the church. Yong isang niece ko kasi na nurse got married to a Greek guy at an Orthodox Church. Kaya wez ko sight ang seremonyas. Although, I was told, nakaharap daw ang pari sa altar all the time, pina-ikot daw ang bride and groom sa mesa nang 5 times and they said the Lord’s Prayer. Other than that, ibang-iba daw sa typical kasalan sa Pinas. What we did was head straight to the reception, 40 miles away from home. Here’s the bride.

One family affair: A graduation
This was one of the reason why I am home in Philadelphia. I attended my niece’s graduation from 8th grade. She’s going to high school now. This was my niece who we sent to Reedley International School in Pasig. She was there for three (3) long years, with her picture gracing the school’s website. Unfortunately, I can’t find a copy no more.

I love to be home: In Philadelphia
Philadelphia, the 1st capital of the United States, where you’ll find the 1st US Supreme Court, home of Betsy Ross, meron syang tinahi na napaka-importante, where the US Constitution was signed, kung saan nangopya ang Reyna sa escuela.
Oo. Ina-amin ko. Marami akong pina-iyak na lalaki dito. Humihingi nang yosi, di ko binigyan. At dito na rin ako nalulong sa alak, lalaki at sugal. Pero, eto… wag ninyo akong sisihin dito…

Why not IBM?!
IBM. A strong company. Its like a symbol of job security, even though there’s none of that no more. But you know what I mean! If you talk about being employed by Microsoft, GE or IBM, that means more than la por hora kada otro dia that we the little ones get.
When I was looking for a job, I want something challenging. Yong pinag-iisip ako. Yong pinag-ta-trabaho ako. Yong ma-lukring lukring ako. Yong lecheng hirap nang problem pero na-so-solve ko. Ganun. Kaya minsan, sabi nga, be careful what you wish for, baka isalpak sa muka mo, mas malala pa. Waaaaa!!! Huwaaa!!! I did not realize na ganetch pala ka-lecheng problematic ever ang faktoring napuntahan ko! *hikbi*
Itago na lang naten sa pangalang “PANO Corporation” ang aking bagong trabaho. Why PANO? Eh PANO ba naman, ayuff ang mga problema ditez. Eh PANO ba naman, andaming madi-dilim na mga ka-chorvahan ditez. Eh PANO ba naman, para na akong luka-lukang takbo dito, hugot dito, di ko na malaman laman ang mga schedule ko sa dami nang gustong maki-meet at maki-chika. Meanwhile, ni indi ko na kilala ang mga staff ko dahil di ko na makita. Nung sang araw? Nabali pa ang upuan ko, muntik pang tumama ulo ko sa kanto. Leche oo!

Job security
Classes have started in Manila and all over the Philippines by now. Some schools are air-conditioned. Some are under the sun.
I know exactly how it feels to be back in school. For us Barrio Siete people, it’s the key to finding ways to improve Barrio Siete life. It could be done. Trust us Barrio Siete people. You only need to dream. It’s free. It won’t cost you a thing. But you need to make it happen. You must. Else, valiw ang tawag seyo.
