04/22/02 - Buen Discovers that he is a Family Man!
The Realization of the Month comes from none other than Buen Guido after saying, "Man, believe it or not, I'm a changed man. I'm a family man after all.". He said this after spending most of his current time being at home and taking care of his lovely wife (Gina)
who is recovering from a gall-bladder surgery. He said that they are enjoying their 'mega-quality time' together. This homely side of Buen is a far cry from his more rowdy juvenile self that was true not too long ago. Everyone is happy for Buen. But there is betting going on as to how long his Realization will last!?
Buen also has a daughter named Clarice. We dont know the source of the inspiration for Buen for giving her daughter that name but we can safely say that it has nothing to do with an Academy award-winning movie involving brain-eating. Clarice likes to dance and is consistently on the honor roll. Her dislikes are chianti, fava beans and people named Hannibal.
04/20/02 - Ophie Indiongco to be Canonized as Saint
The Vatican has announced today that it has started proceedings for the beatification of Filipina Ophelia Indiongco. This they said was to recognize the numerous charity works that she has involved herself in.
"She has exceeded Mother Theresa in the field of good deeds. Her work with the poor of Payatas, Tondo, Smoky Mountain and Forbes Park together with her tireless devotion to the youth has earned her a place in heaven!", this according to one American Cardinal who refuses to be identified.
The action by the Vatican has surprised many observers particularly in its speed. Traditionally, proclamations of sainthoods are given to persons only after they have died. And only after some considerable time. A trait that does not apply to the Filipina, who is very much alive. Equally perplexing was the fact that there were no moves to assess any miracles by the Filipina. According to Catholic dogma, miracles that can be attributed to a candidate for canonization must have those miracles pass through a rigorous verification process. It was apparent that this step was by-passed in favor of the candidate.
To counter the accusation, supporters have claimed to have knowledge of many miracles that were performed by her. These included planning the UST EHS Class of 77 Reunion, the La Mesa picnic and the implementation of the Official Newsletter. A feat that no one since Noah built the Arc could have done! They further pointed out that Saint Ophelia, as they affectionately call her, had powers against the forces of darkness. They claimed that she was able to exorcize two very nasty foreign devils by the name of GaryZ and TeddyL and send them back down to the pits of hell.
However, critics of the move by the Vatican pointed out that the announcement came right after disclosures of child sexual molestations by American priests were leaked to the media. When a group of reporters asked if the two were related, one US Cardinal from New York replied, "Go f**k yourselves. You mother-f**king sons of bitches!! You want a piece of me? DO YOU? DO YOU???".
The Pope was not available for comment.
