irl I’ve always sort of looked up to Kris Aquino. I mean, she has everything (materially) that a girl could ask for: she gets to wear a new gown every day, she pays about fifteen million pesos in taxes (so you can imagine how much her actual income is), and a large collection of real estate properties. Sigh. Does financial success come with an unlucky love life? Can’t someone have both?

And I do pity her cause her little family problem is turning out to be the talk of the town. In fact, it’s the main focus of tonight’s Rated K - which means it’s a big deal to the Filipino people.

Moving on, I had quite an experience in the village convenience store earlier. Silly me forgot to buy a transparent folder in National Bookstore earlier so we had to stop by Cookie and Bob to buy one. The lines were long cause the shop was about to close…. lolz… the mad rush…. And there I was, just standing there when this fat American drunkard wobbled over and just stared at me. The whole sitch would have been ridiculously hilarious if he wasn’t standing so close to me. I was dead scared to be less than one foot away from this HUGE intoxicated foreigner.

To further complicate things, a man (Or was it a woman?) covered in boils suddenly stood near my left. And yes, I know I’m an FI Youth member and all that - for crying out loud I’m the secretary of the thing - but my first reaction was really to stay away. Hey, let’s admit it… Only Mother Theresa is selfless enough not to be scared of acquiring leprosy.

So there I was, feeling awkward, wishing the lady would hurry up and get my order. And after she did, I rushed into my car, asked if leprosy was contagious and got into a heated debate with my dad cause he was going overboard and thinking I was going to get leprosy (God forbid).

And you know, I’m starting to become a hypochondria like him. The moment I came home I ran to the bathroom, scrubbed myself all over and wallowed in lavender-scented soap. I even applied alcohol all over my arm! And now I’m itching like crazy, no doubt because my subconscious is thinking it’s body is going to come out in boils (God forbid!).

But no, seriously, I pity that leper. I looked leprosy up on wikipedia and it really is a much-feared disease. Japan hates it, and three countries (Vietnam, Phil and something else) are considered leper colonies. Some people even refer to it as purgatory on Earth cause you lose all feeling right?

Sigh. Why does the earth have to be so beautiful and damn cruel at the same time?

PooF!
