hold-up booboo

what happened last wednesday was so unforgettable. i'm close to being robbed but i still had the guts to act as if nothing's wrong... i didn't panic nor became a bit hysterical.
i've been a devotee of the our mother of perpetual help. after work, i would always rush to redemptorist church for a novena on wednesdays. i never ever thought that as early as 8pm, someone would even dare to declare hold-up in the jeepney where i am at.
the only guy who went to my side (i was seated right beside a guy near the driver), pointed a gun to the driver. I DIDN'T PANIC AT ALL BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST KIDDING AND HE WAS JUST HOLDING A TOY GUN. but when i looked at the guy beside me and the driver, i knew, right there and then that the guy was really trying to rob the passengers of that puj. he told me to give him my cellphone. i responded that i don't have any (good thing, my bag wasn't at my lap that time. i placed in somewhere under my legs.
the passengers inside the jeep panicked when they saw that the guy was pointing his gun at me and insisting that i better give him my cellphone. i was firm in saying that i had no cellphone and that he can't get anything from me. he went inside the jeep and caused commotion. there were already bystanders as if they already know that those were a bunch of asshole robbers. some passengers managed to escape and that made the robber give them a warning shot.
i didn't move. i didn't panic. i just stayed where i was and when the robbers tried to escape, the jeepney where i'm at already left the scene.
after a few minutes, it just occured to me that it was a real robbery and it was not just a joke. the robber didn't see my bag and i was just so lucky that he didn't. for all i know, if he'd saw it, he would steal it, i mean the entire bag containing my portable dvd, digicam, cp, my passport and all my identification cards and bank cards.
i was so relieved that he wasn't able to get anything from me and even from the other passengers as well. we were blessed and thank God.
it turned out that the hold-up thing was merely booboo. they were just a bunch of amateurs trying their luck...
ahh, next time, i'll be more cautious... thank heavens, they weren't professionals.

Sunflower crackers will be banned???

I just so love sunflower garlic flavored crackers....my roommate naman has a container of sunflower crackers in cheese...pero it's been two months na since she last bought it pero until now, di pa nya nauubos.... i don't have a sweet-tooth, really and i haven't tasted even one of their cream-filled crackers...buti na lang, kasi just recently, may possibility yatang i-ban ang mga ito for public consumption...base kasi sa ginawang pagsusuri ng Hongkong Center for Food Safety sa Sunflower blueberry cream sandwich crackers na gawa ng Croley Foods dito sa Pilipinas, may mataas na content ng melamine ang produktong ito... Kaya for health reasons, please refrain from eating sunflower cream-filled crackers muna for now, hangga't hindi na tayo nakasisigurado sa masamang idudulot nito sa ating kalusugan, kung meron man...Sa pagkakaalam ko, as of this writing, isinasagawa na ang pagsusuri ng BFAD para malaman kung ligtas ba ito o hindi...

What SOCIAL MEDIA teaches us

Too much exposure to socmed won't do you any good. As what others often say, anything that's too much is DANGEROUS. I am proud to say that I belong to the GEN-X who are believed to be resourceful, independent and we know how to work hard and yet play harder.   Well apparently, there are some who belongs to our generation who are so much consumed with socmed but there are still those, just like me, who would rather take a nap rather than browse anything and everything on the net.  I'm an introvert that is why I prefer blogging over vlogging. I value my privacy so much that I opted not to post regularly on facebook, instagram etc. Enough of my explanation, though. I just want to share some insights on the negative effects of socmed.   Think before you click, that's what you often hear but come to think of it. A lot often forget to think before they click. I have read a lot of offensive words, nasty comments and uncalled for statements written by other people. It...
