Manny Pacquiao and Jinkee

Add to Technorati Favorites
What is it with some men that no marriage cord can keep them from straying?
There is no excuse for straying from marriage vows.
I find it foolish for Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao to even think of having a fling. Bringing his supposed other woman wherever he goes. I've seen the Jimmy Kimmel after show video and PDI's photos taken in Baguio and I feel that there is truth in the news currently circulating in all forms of media.
I don't know the couple personally but...
I feel sympathy for his wife, Jinkee.
Money or wealth can never be a reason to cheat on your spouse.
From what Jinkee divulged in a live interview on a TV show, she said she cannot be accused of being after Manny Pacquiao's money only. Jinkee said they were married when Manny was still a struggling boxer. That she would sometimes wake up early in the morning just to look for the much needed money to fund Manny Pacquiao's training expenses.
Jinkee was there when Manny was still a boxer with no name. She gave her support to her husband even if the odds were daunting.
She deserves more than the material wealth that her spouse can give her.
Respect and loyalty are easy to give and yet are very hard to retain, much more to return.
I hope they will talk about it, just the two of them. 'Coz sometimes some well-meant advice can do more damage.
After all, only the two of them will be there until the end.

decent food

Add to Technorati Favorites

The bus I took to work this morning passed by the bus terminal at Baclaran. And as the bus waited for the conductor (who was paying for something at the MMDA depot) I saw a woman scrounging for something among the trash on the sidewalk. Scenes like that abound around the metro.

sorry for the blurred pics, typhoon Frank just passed Metro Manila when it was taken

Though I’ve seen people picking through garbage and I’ve even watched them on TV, I was not prepared for what I saw.

It just rained all over the metro and the nearby provinces (typhoon Frank had a visit) and the pavement is wet, so whatever trash there was were really rain soaked. I thought that the woman was looking for plastics that can be sold at junk shops or whatever that can be sold. I noticed that she was putting whatever she picked inside a transparent bag. But I just can’t see what the contents of her plastic bag was, because the bus’ window was a bit hazy. Then I saw her examine something...I recognized it as a chicken leg with a lot of meat still on the bone. The woman dropped it inside her plastic bag. I realized that the bag was where she kept the food she picked up among the trash...

here's the woman picking "something"

I was heartbroken...I was at a loss. I am like that everytime I see people who are in dire need and yet I can't do a thing.
