Pacette and I arrived at Civil Registry - Legal Section, Manila City Hall at 10:00 o'clock in the morning and claimed the certification from Sally that my marriage to Abdulelah is null and void. We are supposed to go to NSO to do the annotation but we do not have enough time to do so.

We had a quick breakfast at Jollibee then went to Eddie's Furniture, paid the 5 pc Dragon Wooden Sala set, gave them my address where to deliver the items and presto! Thirty minutes after we arrived home, furniture was delivered, assembled, and we moved some stuff around the house.

At past 7:00 o'clock in the evening, Tintin and I did some quick grocery shopping. I got lost again at the SM - North EDSA grocery because every time I went there, they were moving things around while remodelling the store. Since two months ago, things had been like this and I couldn't complete the stuff I needed. I have learned from the cashier, remodelling will be done in November. I was annoyed on our way home because I didn't find the cheese I want for the burger.

At past 9:00 o'clock in the evening, everything is ready for Randy's arrival... he will be happy to know that we're almost done with Case I...

The next hearing will be on November 12, 2007 at 10:30 am.

Defining moment in Philippines History, today, former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada was convicted by Sandiganbayan, a special anti-corruption court, of plunder beyond reasonable doubt but, acquitted him on PERJURY charges.

Following the evening news later over GMA 7's SAKSI, I captured some important shots that will remind me what the entire nation have witnessed on today's promulgation on Estrada's Plunder case:

Former Pres. Joseph Estrada has been acquitted on Jose Velarde account but many believed the Guilty verdict has been given to legitimize the Presidency of the incumbent Gloria Arroyo. Well, if there is justice in the Philippines, why the alleged ill-gotten wealth and human violation cases of the Marcoses are still not resolved?

Whether the former president is really guilty or not, this is the turning point how the justice system works in the Philippines... ruling class.

Tintin and I went to Civil Registry Records in Manila City Hall to follow up the documents I submitted on August 8th. Ms. Dolor gave me a phone number where I can call to check status of Annulment papers but unfortunately, the number was just ringing and no one dares to answer since Friday.

At Civil Registry-Legal Dept., I found out from Ms Beng that they have problem with their phone instrument and the telephone company does not send their lineman yet to replace it. Anyway, glad that I went there to check personally because Ms Dolor was absent and won't be able to answer my call...

My papers are still under processing and hopefully, it will be released on the 27th.

As the residents in Barangay Holy Spirit in Quezon City experienced brief hailstorm this afternoon, which is unusual in a tropical country like the Philippines, I had another kind of storm... 4 doz combinations of deep burgundy and lavender roses and a box of Bruges fine belgian chocolates were delivered by Islandrose.net... another lovely surprise from Randy!!!

I placed the flowers on Randy's computer table!

Randy's message in the card says: "Just a little surprise to let you know I still love you. Can't wait to see you again in person." Whew! It looks like these lovely flowers are his assurance that even if I gained some weight, it does not matter to him... it depresses me lately that instead of losing weight, I gained more this time and it worries me to death...

My daugther sent me this touching story in Tagalog... those who can understand may read on:

Nag-aaral ako sa La Salle .

Ang dami kong kaklaseng Intsik. Apelyidong Uy, Lim, Tan, Co, Go, Chua, Chi, Sy, Wy, at kung anu-ano pa. Pero sa kanilang lahat kay Gilbert Go ako naging malapit. Mayaman si Gilbert kaya mangyari pa, madalas siya ang taya sa tuwing gigimik ang barkada.

Isang araw na-ospital ang kanyang ama. Sinamahan ko siya sa pagdalaw. Nasa ICU na noon ang kanyang ama dahil sa stroke. Naron din ang ilan sa kanyang malalapit na kamag-anak.

Nag-usap sila. Intsik ang kanilang usapan.... hindi ko maintindihan.

Pagkatapos ng ilang minutong usap-usap, nagkayayaan nang umuwi. Maiwan daw muna ako at pakibantayan ang kanyang ama habang inihahatid nya ang kanyang mga kamag-anak palabas ng ospital. Lumipat ako sa gawing kaliwa ng kama ng kanyang ama para ilapag ang mga iniwan nilang mga gamit na kakailanganin ng magbabantay sa ospital.

Nang akmang ilalapag ko na ay biglang nangisay ang matanda. Hinahabol nya ang kanyang hininga... Kinuyom nya ang kanyang palad at paulit-ulit siyang nagsalita ng wikang intsik na hindi ko maintindihan. "Di ta guae yong khee"..... "Di ta guae yong khee"... "Di ta guae yong khee".. paulit-ulit nya itong binigkas bago siya malagutan ng hininga.

Pagbalik ni Gilbert ay patay na ang kanyang ama. Ikinagulat nya ang nangyayari ngunit marahil ay tanggap na rin nya na papanaw na ang kanyang ama. Walang tinig na namutawi sa kanyang bibig. Ngunit iyon na yata ang pinakamasidhing pagluha na nasaksihan ko.

Nagpa-alam muna ako, dahil siguradong magdadatingin uli ang kanyang mga kamag-anak.

Sumakay ako ng taksi pauwi. Habang nasa taksi.. tinawagan ko ang iba pa naming kabarkada. Una kong tinawagan si Noel Chua. Dahil marunong si Noel mag-intsik, tinanong ko muna kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng "Di ta guae yong khee"...

"Huwag mong apakan ang oxygen... Bakit saan mo ba narinig 'yan?"

He he he he... I asked my father what's the meaning of "Di ta guae yong khee" over the phone but he couldn't understand what I was saying... anyway, whether this one is correct or not, I laughed a bit... he he he he
