Here’s a hint of what I’ll be this Halloween …
Clue: She’s known as the Steel Butterfly who scared off the Beatles who flew far from the Philippines never ever to return.
After winning the costume contest these past couple of years, will I come back for a 3-peat, suggested my boy *USMC* Kyle with a smile?
While what was on my head (the crow as Lone Ranger‘s Tonto in 2013 & my beehive gone live in 2014) did the trick ~ or treat? ~ will this year’s fate be helped with what I wear on my feet?
Speaking of stilettos, this Muse of Manila who I’ll portray this Saturday was known to have 3K pairs of shoes!
Just to be on the safe side, I wouldn’t endorse wearing heels all day everyday ~ more in moderation … and always have a back-up pair of flats!

Happy May the 4th be with You!
Monday’s multiple feature is about May days …
- First, I traveled to SA for school and to meet with my esés for the game and fight*
Pinoy Pride ✌
*My remarks about Manny:
- He has way more going on in his life than just being a fighter:
- He lives by his faith
- He is a hero to his family and my native country due to
- his generosity from his earnings and
- his political career
… while Fighter is the only identity that Floyd Mayweather has achieved:
- Professionally, obviously
- Personally ~ considering his history of violence
This self-proclaimed $Money$ was in it for
- The title and to remain undefeated
- $elfishly keeping his winnings
- Before and after my trip back home, I had to celebrate May the Fourth be with You

Like the Child †JESUS†, we can have childlike faith.
Santo Niño: I received this beautiful †Sto. Niño† from my ♥beloved♥ Nanay Betty for my 11th Birthday
That is what Father Joey pointed out during his homily at our Santo Niño Mass this past Sunday.
Father Joey blessed our †Santo Niños† at our ♥Sacred Heart♥ Mass on ☼Sunday☼, 1/18/2015
If we reflect on Presentation and Finding of †Jesus† at the Temple (the fourth and fifth Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary), then we can somehow imitate this kind of faith in †GOD† before anyone else.
Series of Santo Niños ¡juntos¡
Let us make ourselves more in the likeness of our Prince of ✌Peace✌.
In other holy lifestyle news …
I was asked by my sweet student‘s mother to read at her Church wedding ~ there’s always ample time to glorify GOD with the gifts with which He has blessed us!

I lost my good family friend, Isidro Villasis, today ;-( Unfortunately, his chemo & radiation therapies didn’t prolong his life after he was diagnosed w/a brain tumor in July 2010. His late wife, “Auntie Tori,” also passed away from the same w/o those treatments 11yrs ago this mo.
Endearingly called “Uncle Ding,” he was tight w/my dad. They played tennis together & were active in the Filipino community in my hometown, Abilene, TX. As a matter o’ fact, Uncle Ding helped found & name our local P’noy assoc, the United States-Philippines Friendship Organization; he added the friendship part. Uncle Ding also was strongly involved in his Seventh Day Adventist Church.
My favorite thing about Uncle Ding was his sense o’ humor, & my fondest memory o’ him was when we emceed Melissa’s debut (P’nay’s milestone: her 18th birthday – somewhat similar to a Hispanic girl’s quinceañera 4yrs ago this mo. We cracked jokes during the delay in the party, & he pointed out that some folks ran on “Filipino time.” Uncle Ding had allowed Melissa & her mom to live w/him while treating them like family.
This good man touched so many lives, & we miss him dearly. Now he shall join our maker & his wife + his dearly departed be♥ed in Heaven.
RIP, Uncle Ding ~*~ We ♥ You
