   WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!

   It was just one lousy line that nobody even noticed until *someone* directed all attention to it.

   Geez, that group is embarrassing all of us. Instead of getting respect or understanding, now we’ll all come across as pathetic losers. To say that the group is exploiting the situation is an understatement. All your hard work will be reduced to nothing, thanks to some money and attention whores.

   cyberpunk: sinabi mo pa!

   docchef: thanks for stumbling on my blog. your comment was vague but i assume you hope they would do the tribute to the Filipino Health Workers and the $500 million law suit… perharps it would do us good if they pay tribute; then again everyone would know- abc decided to do it under duress or prodding (or in tagalog: sa pilitan!) so it wouldn’t really mean anything, would it? this is not long term as it is only one episode on the show. after that everybody will forget about it. on the other hand, the group refused the long term offer of more job openings for Filipinos? i don’t get that at all… i thought job=prestige=dollars=dollar remittance to the Phils.

   on the second point: law suits such as this, is a long and tedious process. perhaps Desperate Housewives will be long gone even before this case is heard. or perhaps the judge would just throw it away for lack of merit. so why go through with it at all? but what i really want to know is who would benefit if they be granted $500 million- being that it will be the Philippines vs ABC station? what would they do with the money?

   am sorry, you gave me a line and i gave you 2 paragraph worth of answers. what do i know right? am just a blabber mouth really…

   i do admire your stand as you are a doctor yourself… and on a lighter subject, a passionate chef if i might add having visited your blog and seeing your love for cooking and food. i can only brag about how i can cook the best sinigang!

   thanks for stopping by.

   I think the damage has been done already. Unfortunately for us folks, we have a lot of reactionary kababayans who do not seem to think thoroughly the effects of their actions. haay.

   Hey! Congrats on your Filipino Blogger of the Week win!

   Thank you for the kind words at my blogs, they made my day. :0)

   My favorite sinigang is with bangus with a fresh batch of rice. Mmm, now I crave it!

   I’ve added you to my links too.

   Oh, and about Desperate Housewives, I didn’t even know until my husband told me and I basically shrugged it off. My parents are both in the medical field and I’m proud of them, it’s because of their degrees from the Phils. that enabled me to have such a great life here.

   I don’t watch D.H. anyway.

   thanks michelle! your drawings are amazing- something lacking in my creativity part- if there’s any! (you didn’t have to link me but i appreciate it! i really just enjoyed my stay in comics-mix and prolonged absence that i had to link it to my blog so i can easily get back to it and that others may enjoy it too!)

   can’t decide over which kind of sinigang i love the most but one thing is- it’s the only food i can eat everyday straight for a week with a smile on my face! with rice of course! haha

   i don’t watch DH either but i had this habit since i got here to record all premiere episodes of as many shows to see if they’re worth my time for the season and just to kinda update myself on what’s on tv. i’m a huge showtime fan!!

   daya mo, you don’t have a profile! are you here in the US?! thanks again for stopping by… -mae

Would you drop a line or two? Please leave a message.

To my avid readers, this one's NOT for you. I have been getting random anonymous comments. I just want to impart something to them... :-)

Reactions positive or negative are highly welcomed BUT this site will NOT publish anonymous comments, especially if it doesn't add anything valuable to the discussion. IF you don't have the gall, the boldness and spunk to say what you want with your name attached to it, then don't leave any comments at all! I have enough to deal with. Starting a discussion with somebody who's hiding behind "anonymous" sounds pretty lame to me. Oh, spammers don't even think about it! You're wasting your time. Chill. Let's keep this friendly. Thank you... :-)
