A Letter So That People May Know

Dear Person, Please don't give me anymore reason to spew out more truths about you or to name who you are because we both know very well you have nothing against me. While I, I have every ammunition there is. Please stop acting like we are the ones making you "api." Coz nobody is buying your b*llshit. A lot of people have witnessed first hand how much of an asshole you are and how unprofessional you are. Not to mention an attention whore who loves hogging all the credit. I have always wondered why you don't have permanent friends, and love to cling to people who obviously don't enjoy hanging out with you all that much. NOW I KNOW. You think the lies you have spread about me won't reach me? I'm sorry to tell you, my influence and radar reaches far and wide, even if I don't try. Yes, I might have found you annoying and yes, might have even hated you from the start. But I have never disrespected you, never acted out of spite against you, and never even spoke in public about it. Because I know our personal rift is not for the public to know…

I Want to be a Celebrity Poker Player

Hello there! I have a new dream... to be a celebrity poker player. Why? Because I know I know I'm a pretty good poker player but don't have enough bankroll and not enough time to invest to become a really good professional poker player. But I do want to play in the big tournaments. How you ask? By being a celebrity poker player. Why? You ask again. Because I am really poker enthusiast, and I even blog about it. How much more enthusiastic can one be? I actually work for two poker clubs. Simultaneously. Another reason why I want to be a celebrity poker player? Endorsements. Endorsements = money = bankroll. Also schwag... HEHE! Tignan niyo naman... I'm not bad looking, right? And I have quite a good following via my blogs and I am a very active social media user... Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, YouTube... name it, I have an account which I actively use. So if you're my sponsor, you get more than enough mileage. LOL! Plus, I'm a girl. A girl with big boobs. So I do attract some attention everytime I play. And yeah, I've actually won a major tournament... and have joined a lot of others.…

Statement on MindanaoBloggers.com

This is to inform the public that I, Maria A. Jose, am formally dissociating myself from the MindanaoBloggers.com organization. I have been inactive as an organizer for the following events of the organization: DFAT 2009, WordCamp Davao 2009, WordCamp Philippines 2009, and Mindanao Bloggers’ Summit 2009 for professional reasons. While I still share the advocacy and ideals with which the organization was founded upon, I feel that it is no longer possible for me to work with the organization. I, however, shall continue promoting Mindanao and its peoples through my blogs and other works.

Julie and Julia… and Me

Just came from watching Julie & Julia, based on the book with the same title by Julie Powell. Needless to say, I love it. It's not about cooking and baking. But love and passion. I can so totally relate to the movie... with cooking, baking, and blogging all in one movie. But I'm sure a lot of people will also love it and can relate to it. Both Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and Julie Powell (Amy Adams) both dedicated themselves to cooking not for the sake of cooking, but because of love. They were both passionate about different things. While focused on different things, their passions brought them to food and cooking. I share their passion. Passion to cook and bake, to serve the best there is to the people who matter to me. I've been told (more than once, sad to say) that I am addicted to baking and cooking. And I am. I am addicted to making the delicious pastries and meals. And I am passionate about writing and blogging, as well. And I was able to relate to Julie saying that she might have ADD. Coz I feel like I am like that sometimes. Interested and wanting…

Globe One Youth Headshot Clinic Davao

Months ago, I went to the Globe One Youth Headshot Clinic here in Davao City. And few days ago, the photos from the clinic were published... I went with my cousins, Kuya Andrew and Gwing, and Chattee. Here are their headshots... Hmmm... I think Kuya Andrew has the fiercest headshot. Chattee and Gwing both have nice usable ones. Mine seems... perky? Nice though. Wish I had skin as smooth and silky as the one on the photo. :P

Blog Action Day 2009: Climate Change

It's the first I decided to actually join Blog Action Day. It's a topic that is close to my heart and I hope you all find the time to read it over at Alleba Politics. Climate change is a reality that few government officials, politicians, people in general fail to see. Every day our environment is changing, and with it our way of life. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food that we consume, the materials we use for our daily lives change in small amounts. But these small amounts add up, accumulate every day that passes by. More alarming is how our climate has been changing without us noticing any of it. Here is the link to my ENTRY.
