An Evil Wife


How would you feel if each time to raise an argument to your husband, you would be accused as “used by the devil’? That is always our case. Whenever I put on an argument with my husband, he’d tell me that the devil uses me and that I could levitate anytime in demonic possession. Is not it frustrating? No it is not. It is not only just frustrating, it is more than enough for me love to whack my computer bag at him. Now I am being used by the devil.
I was running terribly late this morning and he was driving so slow that a turtle can overtake him. I was telling him to be more considerate of me because I was already late as it was. Then he gave me a litany of my faults and robbed on the fact that I woke up late. As if I didn’t know that.
Yes, I woke up late because there were a lot of things to organize in my head last night I ended up sleeping at 12. Before I even woke up, our toddler was already so into my hair. At the breakfast table, he had wanted me to play and replay an app on my android for him. There was a lot of crying and cooing and annoying very early in the morning.
Well, we had a typical stressful morning at home. I was going badly late for work and his driving drove me crazy. So I yakked and yakked and yakked and so did he. I screamed my frustration out and he told me I am such a piece of a devil.
What the?!
In my emo, I whacked him with my phone so hardly that it must have left some of his flesh blue. I told him to stop driving, got off the ride and took a taxi for the rest of my way to work!
Aaaargh!!!
My eyes burned in the taxi, tempting to roll some tear. But I kept my composure secured. I blinked away a stubborn tear that passed through my duct, took a deep breath, put on make-up, brushed my hair and puckered my lips with the kick-ass red lipstick. Some devil you got!

On being a yaya-less existence

Image
Ideally, I would never let any other caregiver take in charge of my son’s welfare and needs. But being with a demanding day job to sustain our family’s needs, my husband and I had to be away for work for most of the better part of the day. Thus, my son stays home with a nanny. On lucky days, my mother visits our place to help out look after my little Sam who now, at sixteen months, thinks that the sofa is excitingly equivalent to a diving board. Well, the yaya left us after she finished school.  Like all else, working couples who are left (by their yayas) high and dry in crunch times can only swear under their breath. So swear we did. Without a nanny, Alex and I had to restructure our routine in the house – from tip to toe. Sam had to be dropped by at my parents’ house or at Alex’s sister’s place; if only either or both of these places can accommodate a hyper active toddler without dismantling their personal errands and hectic schedules. We are in a sense, homeless;...

SAMSUNG launched SMART TV in Cagayan de Oro

Image
photo courtesy of infochat.com.ph I remember when I was little, I would daydream to my heart’s content; unmindfully slathered in the horrific glare of the sun. My mind would often wander in the ocean of imaginations difficult to transcribe in the limits of my childhood vocabulary. One of my favorite pretend-plays was to simply tell the TV to turn on and the poor thing would scurry to electrify itself to life for the pleasure of me. Who would have thought that I would live long enough to be able to see that sheer pigment of imagination come to life! The SAMSUNG SMART TV – the future of television! – was launched at Grand Caprice, Limketkai Center last June 1, 2012. The Samsung Smart TV has voice and face recognition features that let you interact with your television. The SAMSUNG SMART TV has web-connected Samsung apps that allow you to search movies and TV shows, surf the internet, connect with friends, map the places you were planning to visit---there’s a gr...

Do NOT tell me to be RESPONSIBLE

There is no point dissecting and analyzing and grieving over the Php 1,000.00 that was lost. What’s worth one grand today? A Victoria Secret panty?! I got over my loss instantaneously the moment I realized that a crisp one thousand peso bill was missing in my wallet. I texted a few friends from school that I lost one thousand and that was it. I didn’t maul over it like someone like Dolphy has just died. But you have no idea how vitriolic my curses were for the person who stole the money. “STOLE” the money: I am confident that it was stolen after a horrible series of missing one-thousand-peso bill haunted the hallways of my dear school lately. It must have been stolen. I lost the money in school. SCHOOL! Faculty Room to be specific. I don’t have a pile of money such that I will not be able to notice what’s gone; or how much is gone. Do not ask me if I have just misplaced the money. I am a teacher, for Christ sake. I don’t have a plethora of bills in my wallet. I only have ...
