The discipline

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her 5 year old son playing with his new electric train in the living room.

She heard the train stop and her son saying:

All of you sons of bit*c*es who want to get off, get the hell off now coz this is the last stop! And all of you bastards who are getting on, get your ass into the train, coz we’re going down the tracks!

The horrified mother went in and told her son

We don’t use that kind of language in this house.  Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS!

When you come out, you may play with your train.  But I want you to use nice language!!Do you understand young man?

Two hours later, the boy comes out of the bedroom and resumes playing with his train.  Soon the train stopped and the mother overheard her son saying:

All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you.  We thank you for you traveling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one.

She smiles and hears her son continue:

For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your had luggage under your seat.  Remember, there is no smoking on the train.  We hope you all have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.

As the mom grins from ear to ear and is to walk out of the kitchen to the living room, her son finally says:

As for those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOURS delay, please see the B*TCH in the kitchen!

Heaven or hell?

A politician dies and ends up in front of St. Peter at the gates of heaven. St. Peter flips through his list and finds his name.

St. Peter: So you’re a politician…

Politician: Well yes. Is there a problem?

St. Peter: Oh no problem. We’ve adopted a new system for politicians. Unfortunately, you will need to spend one day in hell. After spending a day there, you’re free to choose where you want to spend eternity!

Politician: Wait! I have to spend a day in hell?!

St. Peter: Those are the rules!

And St. Peter snaps his fingers and HOOMPH! The politician disappears. He awakes, curled up with his hands covering his eyes knowing he’s in hell. He cautiously listens for screams, and sniffs the air for brimstone.

But he didn’t. He smelled cotton candy. And fabric softener. And grass. And he heard a voice telling him to open his eyes and wake up.

After uncovering his eyes he sees himself in a hotel room. The penthouse suite to be exact. A man wearing a dapper suit holding a martini in one hand and smiling at him.

Politician: Who are you and where am I?

Satan: I am Satan. And welcome to hell! (And hands the man a glass of martini)

Politician: Wait! This is HELL?!? Where’s all the pain and suffering?

Satan: Oh! We’ve been misrepresented since the beginning of time. Anyway, this is your room. The mini bar is free as is room service. There are extra towels next to the jacuzzi. If you need anything, call reception. And since it’s a beautiful day outside, go out and enjoy the golf course surrounding this hotel.

There is a beach out there and the harbor can be reached by a private golf cart and you have your own yacht.

With Satan accompanying him on the tour around hell, the politician saw many of his colleagues and friends and acquaintances who had gone ahead of him in his lifetime, members of his family and finally, his wife who had passed away a year ago.

They headed to a baseball field where tens and thousands of people waited to greet him in grand style. Most of the people he knew. Some were business people whom he had shennanigan dealings during his lifetime. He knew all these would end up in hell!

He wines, dances, and spends the next 24 hours being treated like a king and living the same life (and more) as when he was still a mortal.

After the party, he had gone back to his penthouse suite accompanied by his wife and two other beautiful women and he has the best sex ever on a soft bed covered with Egyptian cotton. Tired, he fell into a deep sleep and was awoken by St. Peter.

St. Peter: So son, that was hell. Something you didn’t expect, I bet.

Politician: No sir.

St. Peter: Now you make your choice. It’s hell that you saw, or heaven where you get to talk to God, hear beautiful music everyday, and have angels be by your side in paradise each moment.

Politician: Well, I know this sounds strange, and not to put you down but it seems that Hell is a much better place to enjoy for eternity.

St. Peter: Not a problem. I totally I understand. Enjoy!

And with a click of a finger, the politician is transported back to where he came from.

This time the politician wakes up in total darkness.  The stench of ammonia fills the air and he can hear distant screams from afar.  As he adjusts his sight he can see the only light is from a flame far away, illuminating the ragged remains of people being tortured or burning in a sulphurous ocean.  A sudden bolt of lightning reveals Satan next to him wearing the same suit as before and grinning, holding a soldering iron in one hand and coil of razor-wire in the other.

Politician: What is this?  Where is the hotel? Where’s my wife? Where’s the minibar and the golf course and the pool and the shopping arcade and the yacht? The free drinks and the sunshine? Where are they?!?!

Satan: YOU SEE, YESTERDAY, WE WERE CAMPAIGNING.  BUT TODAY, YOU VOTED.

He’s not going to get sex

A friend of mine was sharing a “moment” with me.

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.  The passion begins to heat up and while we’re almost at it, she eventually says, “I don’t feel like it.  I just want to hold you. ”

I said, “WHAT THE FUCK?!?! What was that?!?!?”

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear. “You’re just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.”

She responded to my puzzled looked by saying, “Can’t you just love me for who I am an not what I do in the bedroom?”

Realising that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep nursing a painful erection.

The next day, I opted to take the day off from work to spend time with her.  We went to a nice lunch in a fancy restaurant and then went shopping at a very posh department store.  I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits.  She couldn’t decide which one to take, so I told her we’d just buy them all.  She was giggling with delight and seemed so happy.  As a matter of fact, it’s the happiest I have seen of her since we got engaged.  Then she said she wanted new shoes to complement her new clothes.  I replied, “let’s get a pair for each outfit!”

Then we went to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings.  Let me tell you, she was sooooo excited.  She must have thought that I was one wave short of a shipwreck.  I started to think that she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn’t even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, “that’s fine sweetheart.” She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all the excitement.  Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, “I think this is all dear.  Let’s go to the cashier!”

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, “No honey, I don’t feel like it.”

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped and all the clothes and shoes and jewellery fell on the floor and she screamed with a baffled, “WHAT!?!?!?!”

I then said, “Honey, I just want to HOLD this stuff for awhile.  You’re just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.”

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, “Why can’t you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?”

And just stormed out of the store.

My friend wanted some advice about the incident.

I replied, “Apparently, you’re not having sex tonight or any night from now on.”

Dirty

During a conversation, we’ve all had those one liners that stopped us dead on the tracks and left us with jaw dropping moments.

Here’s a few of them to get through your Sunday, and hope you have a good smile. [And yes, they’re dirty one-liners, so keep the kids out of this post.]

Two men visit a prostitute.  The first man goes into the bedroom.  He comes out ten minutes later and says, “My wife is better than that!” The second man goes in.  He comes out ten minutes later and says, “Hell, you know you’re right!!! YOUR WIFE IS BETTER!!”

60 and fighting for our rights

Since I turned 60 a month ago, I’ve started using the privileges accorded being a senior citizen.  What better time to enjoy the fruits of being a “SEÑOR-ito”!!!

And like any parade, there will always be an event that literally “rains” on your parade.  With me, that “storm” is the management of the parking area at Westgate Center, Filinvest, Muntinlupa City.

I had lunch the other day at one of their restaurants there. The restaurant gladly accepted my identification card, which happened to be my driver’s license (which I recently renewed). On my way out of the parking area, the parking attendant refused to recognize my driver’s license as proof of my being a senior citizen! We exchanged a few questions and answers, but as all employees are, you will never win an argument with them.  I felt sad for her because I know she was just instructed to do as she was told – OR ELSE, it would be taken out of her pay check (which is against the law).  To cut the long story short, I asked for the contact number and name of her “boss”, which she graciously wrote down on a piece of paper, paid the parking fee and informed her that I would file a formal complaint.  I called the number 846-0268 loc. 5052 and was eventually told that Mr. Kelly Nyu, her immediate superior was in a meeting. The girl on the other line asked what it was about.  I explained.  She informed me that if I had a complaint, I was free to do so.  And so I wrote to the Office of Senior Citizen’s Affairs and hopefully, the OSCA in Muntinlupa take action.

As far as I know, as far as the law of the Republic of the Philippines is concerned, RA 9994, otherwise known as the “Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010” explicitly states that “in the availment of privileges, the senior citizen may submit as proof of his/her entitled thereto ANY of the following:”

  1. an identification card issued by the OSCA of the place where the senior citizen resides: provided, that the identification card issued by the particular OSCA shall be honored NATIONWIDE;
  2. the passport of the senior citizen concerned; AND
  3. other documents that establish that the senior citizen is a citizen of the Republic and is at LEAST sixty (60) years of age as further provided in the implementing rules and regulations.

Article 5.5 of the IRR points out that the identification document as ANY DOCUMENT OR PROOF OF BEING A SENIOR CITIZEN which may be used for the availment of benefits and privileges under the act and its rules.  The valid documents shall include but not limit to the following government-issued identification documents indicating an elderly’s birthdate or age: DRIVER’S LICENSE, VOTER’S ID, SSS/GSIS CARD, PRC CARD, POSTAL ID.

Section 7 of the law proscribes that the Municipality/City has the responsibility to require ALL estabishments covered by this act to prominently display posters, stickers and other notices that will generate public awareness of the right and privileges of senior citizen and to ensure the the provision of this Act are implemented to its fullest.

The argument of the parking teller was that based on her “boss”, the city ordinance of Muntinlupa No. 17-050 states that parking fee exemptions for Senior Citizens and Persons with Disability shall be availed by a senior citizen and persons with disability driving  a vehicle or on board a private owned vehicle upon presentation of his/her valid senior citizen’s and persons with disability ID issued by ANY government agency/office.  The argument was that IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE SC/PWD ID, YOU CANNOT AVAIL OF THE FREE PARKING!

This self-interpretation of the law by the management of Filinvest Corporate City (I presume that it had the blessings from above, that is why the parking attendant was adamant at executing the order), so that greedy corporations like these can profit or skirt the issue of having to provide senior citizens what are due them is UNLAWFUL and should be PENALIZED.

Business establishments like these should not be allowed to get away with their “self-interpretation” of the law. Why does Alabang Town Center or Molito or SM Muntinlupa accept my driver’s license as evidence that I am both a senior citizen and a resident of the city? What makes Westgate Center at Filinvest an exception to the rule?

The Expanded Senior Citizen Law never intended to limit the identification document of senior citizens to just the senior citizen’s ID in order to avail of the benefits and privileges granted to them  It is a basic principle and must be remembered that in interpreting laws or statutes, words must be subservient to its intent, and not intent to the words.  The law was made for the purpose of granting seniors the privileges and benefits which they deserve.

I am writing this for all senior citizens that deserve to enjoy the benefits and privileges as stated in the law, without having to be harassed by corporations that want to bend laws for profit.

It’s not about the money.  It’s about what is in the LAW.  If Filinvest has any problem with the law, they should lobby through congressmen and the president regarding this provision. If Filinvest feels that they are making less money with their parking fees because of senior citizens and PWDs, they should just shut down their businesses.

Corporate greed mixed with interpreting the law to the benefit of the corporate profit is the greatest evil of mankind.

The tease

My friend, Jason is a very happy person. He and his wonderful girlfriend had been dating for over three years before they decided to get married. There was only one problem that bothered Jason – the beautiful younger sister of his wife-to-be.

His would be sister-in-law was 22, wore tight short skirts, never wore a bra and would often tease and intimately entice Jason whenever he was around. Jason would always feel uneasy especially in those odd moments.

A few weeks before the wedding, the younger sister called Jason and asked him over their house to check the invitations. She was alone in the house and when Jason arrived, whispered to him that she had sexual urges for him and that those desires wouldn’t go away. She told Jason that she wanted to have sex with him before he got married to her sister.

Jason was in total shock and of course nursing a rising erection. He was stunned and stood frozen at the foot of the stairs as he watched her go up the stairs while slowly stripping off her clothes.

In that spur of the moment Jason turned around and rushed through the front door of the house.

After opening the front door, he was surprised to find the entire family of his future in-laws right in front of the lawn, clapping and cheering as he dashed out.

With tears in his eyes, his father-in-law hugged him and said, “we’re very happy that you passed our little test. We couldn’t ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family!”

I thought it was such a wonderful story from my friend. Then he asked me, do you know the moral of this story?

I replied, “Love conquers all?”

He said, “Nope! Always keep your condoms in your car…😜

Never forget

There are moments that are ingrained not only in our heart but in our mind as well.

…how far we’ve come

…everything we’ve gone through

…the times we’ve pushed on even when we felt we couldn’t

..,all the mornings we got out of bed even though we knew how difficult it was

…all the times we wanted to give up yet didn’t and survived another day

Never forget how much strength we’ve learned and built.

But don’t forget to pause. And smell life.

Life is about balance. Someone once said that

You don’t always need to be getting stuff done. Sometimes it’s perfectly okay, and absolutely necessary, to shut down, kick back, and do nothing.

Here’s what I’d say…

If there’s a peeve that’s on my list, it’s having to deal with those pesky telemarketers.

Yes my friends, this include those from banks and various areas of commerce. When you’re in the middle of seeing patients or a meeting and some idiot decides to call and the number is not in your contact list or is unfamiliar, I’m 99% sure that it’s one of those telemarketers.

Some people tell me that I shouldn’t be rude to them.  After all, they are just doing their job.  I say, bleh! In the first place, their calling me without asking me if it’s a good time to call and to identify themselves first before they call is already trespassing on my privacy. And yes, it is good manners and right conduct to text before you call.  Then there is the argument that if they text first, no one will want to take the call.  That’s called etiquette!

In the second place, your encroaching on my privacy meant that you were rude first.  Even if you are some high ranking official, GMRC dictates that you respect other peoples privacy.  But wait a minute – WHERE THE F DID YOU GET MY MOBILE NUMBER?!?!

I am sure there are days that you’re up to your wits in blocking so many unnecessary phone numbers. While my phone allows that feature, and I have literally blocked hundreds of numbers already, they are like gremlins that multiply!

And so, out of being just a plain bitch, and to get back at these low life telemarketers, here are a few responses you can engage them with:

  1. First, you have to tell me what kind of underwear you’re wearing…

2.  Sorry, I’m really busy now.  If you can give me your home number, I’ll call you back tonight.

3.  (In a whispering tone) TUMAHIMIK KA! SANDALI LANG.  NAGNANAKAW AKO NGAYON.  KAUUWI LANG NG MAY-ARI. PLEASE HOLD!  [Quiet!!! Hold on.  I’m robbing a house now.  I think the owners just got home.  Please hold!]

4.  Pretend you don’t speak English or Tagalog.

5.  Burst into tears when money is mentioned.

6.  Tell them that you’ll accept the offer or change your plan or upgrade your status if they can guess the colour and make of your underwear.

7.  Repeat everything they say in the form of a question.

8.  When someone asks you if your spouse or father or whoever is at home, answer: YES! BUT I NEVER ALLOW HIM/HER TO TALK TO STRANGERS!

9.  When someone asks you how you are, answer: WELL I’M HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AT THE MOMENT. LET ME EXPLAIN…

10. To a phone company solicitor (read PLDT), answer: THAT SOUNDS GREAT! WAIT! CAN YOU HOLD FOR A MINUTE? (Leave the phone off the hook until he or she hangs up…)

Or just HANG UP THE PHONE! But it’s always fun to engage these lowlife with a dose of their own medicine.

Sometimes, however, there are those that take the bait. Score ONE for them…Unknown

Deaf

Alfred feared that his wife Janice was developing problems in hearing. She seemed to not respond the same way as she used to. He thought she may need a hearing aid.

Not quite sure how to approach this dilemma, he called his family doctor for advice.

The doctor said that there is an informal test the husband could perform to give the doctor a better idea about the extent of her hearing loss.

“Stand about 10 meters away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, move to 7.5 meters, 5 meters and 2.5 meters, and so on until you get a response,” the doctor replied.

That evening, the wife was in the kitchen preparing dinner. At 10 meters distance, the husband asks, “Janice what’s for dinner?”

No response.

He moves to 7.5 meters and asks again, “Janice what’s for dinner?”

Still no response.

He now walks to the kitchen door about 5 meters from her and increases the tone a bit and asks, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

There was no reply. And he became worried.

He paces a few feet more and asks again, “Sweetheart, what’s for dinner?”

And he yet doesn’t hear a reply.

Worried, he walks up behind her and asks “Janice, what’s for dinner?”

“DAMN IT ALFRED! FOR THE FIFTH TIME, CHICKEN!!!!”
