"Any month's 13th day will fall on a Friday if the month starts on a Sunday.", that's according to Wikipedia. I didn't know that before until I read this from wikipedia and I looked at my calendar and saw its true.
I am not the type of person who would really be affected that much when its a Friday the 13th. Its basically part of the history that was incorporated to religion. And if we are going back most religion, practices were also based on what happened historically. Well, that's my opinion. Everyone is entitled to it. And it can change anytime depending on our perspective.
Now, I don't know anymore, if I should be affected by Friday the 13th since something happened very bad, I mean really really bad this last Friday the 13th. 13th August 2010.
My friends, close and not so close friends, knows that I have someone very special to me. She is my baby. My love. My bestfriend and my enemy at times. She is Yuna. She's been with me since 2007. My son Gab knows Yuna very well even when Gab was still in my womb.
We were new in our village, its an old one but beautiful subdivision in Cavite. The place is quiet and peaceful by the look of it, you won't see "tambays" in the subdivision and in front of us is an exclusive school for boy and girls. But since its an old one, its the kind that is not enclosed with secured gates and fences. According to our neighbors, other tenants in the apartment were victimized by bulglary. Even the automobile of one of our neighbor lost a pair of tire one night. We are in the middle unit of the 6-door-apartment. Our unit has provision of for an AC unit that is enclosed with grills. And since we don't have an AC unit its left open but its covered with a black trash liner. On this aircon unit grill is where I tie the Yuna's chain every day so she can guard our house. She is a good dog, she is really noisy when someone she does not know get near our house. But something bad happened to my Yuna on a Friday the 13th. We believe she was poisoned. She is not sick and very much alive and healthy before that. She was still alive when Rey arrived at 9.30pm last Friday. She was still barking when Gab and Rey were playing in the living room until about 10pm. And when they were supposed to feed her that evening, she's already dead.
By the way, we do not leave Yuna alone all night outside of the house. We bring her in when we are about to sleep and she will be placed outside again when Gab wakes up in the morning.
1. Dry cleaning means no water is used - Although clothes are still immersed in liquid, the liquid isn't water - it's petroleum based. By petroleum based, you could say relatives of kerosene or even gasoline. For some fabrics, water couldn't be used for cleaning. This is because water can mess up the bonds between fibers causing them to be attracted to each other more and therefore shrink.
2. Dry cleaning was discovered by accident - In the 19th century, a Frenchman named Jean Baptiste Jolly discovered that his tablecloth became cleaner when his maid spilled kerosene on it which started the use of petroleum-based solvents as clothes cleaners. (so guys, don't be too harsh when people get into accidents around you. Who knows, it might make you rich!)
3. Some 'Dry Clean Only' tags and labels are a marketing gimmick - See some designer items that say 'Dry Clean Only'? They are more expensive, right? Some of these items are actually better of hand washed- with water. Dry Clean Only tags give the impression (sometimes illusion) of clothes being of higher quality than others. While this is true for some fabrics and most trusted brands, it isn't for all. Make sure your cleaners know how to handle designer items well.
4. That dry clean only item you are wearing could come from an animal - We all know wool came from sheep. But cashmere also is a type of wool from a cashmere goat. Angora comes from a rabbit and silk comes from silk worms. These fabrics need dry clean solvents for cleaning.
5. Some dry clean only items are actually a pain to maintain - Just because they are more expensive, doesn't mean they are more durable. Some luxurious fabrics like cashmere and some wools have the tendency to sag when cleaned (yes, even if your cleaner was very careful). Please think twice before buying such items. And be ready to pay for their proper cleaning (nope, wash-dry-fold is not recommended :-)
6. Dry cleaning machines look like regular washing machines - Except that the solvent being used is filtered then re-used. This is because of two things: 1. The dry cleaning solvent is expensive and 2. Some dry cleaning solvents could harm the environment if allowed to be incorporated into the sewers. Dry cleaning could also be done manually with equal or even better results.
7. Dry cleaning solvent technology is evolving - Better, more environment friendly chemicals are being developed for dry cleaning. Some of them are no longer petroleum based, like Liquid Silicone and Liquid CO2.

I have not been blogging recently, since typhoon Basyang to be exact. As much as I wanted to blog about how we got flooded during the typhoon, I can't find enough time to detail it all to you.
Just before the typhoon came we are in the middle of planning a small store to start a business and earn additional income. It was just a few days when Basyang arrived before the store soft opening, so all of a sudden I have to squeeze in looking for a new place, planning hauling our things to the new house and arranging our things in the house just before the store opening.
Not to mention that I still have to go to work everyday and take care of my Gab. Schedule is so tight these past few days. Hopefully, everything will be ok, store would have lots of customers, will be ok in our new place and most of all, everything will normalize soon.
The typhoon will be another story I have to publish soon.
As I have promised, result of the Baby Photo Contest I posted on 5th June 2010 will be posted between 15th and 30th July.
60 comments were collected from the post Baby Photo Contest. Among the 60 commnets were 50 votes for Baby Bella Grace and 6 for Baby Wolf. The other 4 comments were those I considered invalid, those are duplicate votes.
CONGRATULATIONS Mommy Rubz and Bella Grace for garnering the most number of votes. Please let me know if you have a BPI or BDO bank accounts so I can deposit you winnings.
If other means of sending you the winnings will be opted, any transaction fee that is applicable will not be shouldered by Anything Under the Sun.
Watch out guys for my next blog contest, i will try to think of other contest that will be easier to join. If you have any suggestions, feel free to raise it by sending me a comment on this blog.
There may be somebody who is thinking about you RIGHT NOW and wishing that you were around. That's the wonderful thing about friendship-you always feel loved and cared about.
This is a tribute post to all my good old close-close friends when i was still in ACS we call ourselves COFFEEMATES. I miss all the good times with my friends, spending hours and hours for lunch break anytime within the shift, spending hours having coffee in the 20th flr of Citibank Towers (that's where our office was), most of all, having a good nap before midnight at the break room just before we start our work.
It would be a wishful thinking wishing all those times to happen again. It was few years ago and now we got different works and different lives, some have families already, like me, marj and may-may. Back then, it was only Kaye who's married.
Coffeemates casts are the following. Guys, forgive me for grabbing your pictures just from anywhere...
I am at work right now, my shift starts at 3pm until 12mn, that's from 8am to 5pm United Kingdom time. Don't get confused, I work here in the Philippines but our office follows the working hours in UK. Yes, you got it, we serve UK clients.
You maybe wondering,why I am blogging at the office. Well, kinda, its because the major system that I use to work is busted right now. The tool that I use to answer phone calls, log notes and save customer interactions from the UK is not working. Our IT are still trying to fix it and I am just trying to find something productive for me to do, productive as far as I am concerned of course. The company would not want me using their resources just for nothing.
I wonder what time my system would be fixed. By the way, its not only me who's having something like this, same with Eliza, Dea and Ian.
Just recently, Google Adsense revealed how they share revenue with their business partners like us. At least they are transparent enough to let bloggers like us know how much earnings we can have if we partner with them.
They revealed how two of their products shares are being divided, these are adsense for content and adsense for search. Adsense for content gives 68% to publishers while adsense for search give 51%. So there, now that we know how much we are getting lets all enforce our traffic and let those folks click our ads. Imagine how much we can get when we have a good traffic on our blogs.
This post is inspired by Marghil, main source is the adsense blog.
After Gab's birthday celebration back in April it was only yesterday we had a chance to visit again in Antipolo. Gab had a great time playing with his cousins Yma and Matthew.
The Avelino family, (that's Rey's sister Ate Niña, Richard and Matthew) had their new car blessed in Antipolo Church in the morning. Just on their way to the church, Richard managed to scratch the bumper of their new automobile. It's a fully authomatic so they can't just have it repaired in a regular auto shop so it should be some auto shop such as Dallas auto repair. Seeing their new car makes me dream of my own, i didn't like to have just a regular type of automobile, i've always wanted to have a pick up type vehicle, one that is like Chevrolet Silverado . Having this type of vehicle will serve me two purposes, that's as much as I can think of right now. Its a private vehicle so I have the right to park it in front of any five star hotel just to show it off, or I can drive it all the way to my province without worrying about the rough road.
Anyway, much of my day dreaming. After we had our snack at Ate Niña house, we hit the road again and drove from Antipolo to High Street in Global City. Richard was still behind the wheels after he managed to escape that misadventure of scratching his baby's bumper. Now we noticed that he is more careful on breaks now and even asking some tips about break job from Rey and Kuya (that's their eldest). He admits its a lesson learned fom him, most of the time he will drive for his family so he'd like them to be safe with him. He'll have to know more about driving and safety since Antipolo City is on mountainous place, rolling and steep road are always present. He'll have to have a good break job for his car for his family to be safe.
We were home just about twelve midnight and Gab was still up and hyper. Seems like he doesn't want to end the lovely day with his cousins and all the strolling we made. But just few minutes after I changed his clothed and put on his sleeping pajama, he dozzed off with his yayay on his mouth.
i have two men in my life. and i both love them more than i can explain. i can never choose to let go of the other, its going to kill me, kill me softly.
here is Rey, the first of my two men.
