I saw a bear. An undernourished-looking bear that was happily crunching away at carrots. *blink* And there was thic chicken.. sharing in the bear's food.. which comprised entirely of fruits and vegetables.

I'm not lying. I went to the zoo in Tagaytay.. and.. ahhhhhhhh.... you just HAVE to see the bear for yourself! :D

in History, Religion, and HE. Yet I'm online.

No, wait, I can explain. ^__^ (Sure.) I just wanted to post the events of last Sunday's eve, which were quite memorable. I attended the 'meeting' of the fourth-generation Hontiveros kids (that's us!), coz we had to plan for the quarterly reunion in March.

The conversation turned to horror stories regarding cabs and general heinous crimes around the Alabang area. Please take note that this is the Hontiveros family we're talking about, so, they all smoke/drink/curse/etc etc etc. ^^;;; Even the oldies.

Margs: ...So that means, after they raped and killed her, they used her car to go over to BF to try and get another girl!

Everyone: *various disgusted reactions*

Mina: Drugs, man! Those stupid kids are on drugs!

My Grandfather: Well IMO, those people should be treated humanely. Respect human rights, you know?

Everyone: ...No.

My Grandfather: And then after treating them humanely, chop the bastards into little pieces!!! *makes chopping gesture with hands*

Everyone: YES!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA...!

Tita Sandy: Okay, so I was in this cab with my two friends-- both female-- when the cabdriver goes, 'Ah, ma'am, there's a problem with the engine, I have to stop the vehicle...' (feanne's note: that's the technique around here, the cabdriver makes some excuse to stop the cab, then he robs you at gunpoint)

Tita Sandy: Well, I held my bag over his head, since I was at the back of the driver's seat... He was bent over, reaching for something on the side, and it could have been a gun, right? So I had my HUGE bag-- I mean heavy, ah, -- right above his head, and then he noticed it, and he immediately straightened. I said in an annoyed voice, 'O, what, is there a problem?' and he goes, 'No ma'am, no...'

Tita Sandy: My two friends were crying, and I told them, 'Hey! Why are you crying?! You have to fight back!!' Anyways.. we got to our destination in five minutes flat.

Tita Sandy: So remember ha, if you suspect anything, ANYTHING at all, don't hesitate to be violent. I remember one time when the driver started acting suspicious, and I actually reached over and held him by the collar...

The Hontiveros women are intimidating. Fear us. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Margs: I have an idea! Let's all tattoo the Hontiveros coat-of-arms on ourselves!

Me: Yah, and then during family reunions, we play this game-- 'Guess Where *I* Put My Tattoo? :)'

Lolo Lenny, my lolo's older brother, died last week. But everyone was wearing red at his funeral, coz we all knew that he's happier where he is now. And that he wanted it to be a 'happy' event.

He was cremated, and then the urn holding his ashes was present at the Hontiveros family reunion the other night. Twas the cutest thing, they put his glasses on top of the urn, and a piece of yellow paper that said: "Gone Fishing." ^-^V Yup, that's the Hontiveros spirit.


One of my neighbors, Atty. Manguiat, also died; and on Christmas day too. O__o;; Well.. at least he was able to go to Mass one last time the night before he died; and he saw his daughter, who came home from Germany last December 23.
