Present Research - Arrived in Manila!

This is the latest we got from the Japan Airlines website. Mother Jones and Casino Boy were able to book a flight to the Philippines. Would have gotten the info as well thru text message but it's not available yet. Oh well, as long as they arrive safe and sound.

And later, it's going to be a long trip back to the province. Good thing I'm not driving today =)

Pretend Tagtime- Papa Robi - Just random facts

Photobucket

*Worked as a miner in Lepanto Mines and some other mining place in Benguet and Mountain Province.

* During his younger days, he was an active member of the Dalton Clan. And still the missed in their reunions. Just mention his name to his fellow classmates they would know it's him.

* Worked in Indonesia as a miner for 10 Years from 1983- 1993. 10 Wasted Years of not accumulating anything substantial. 5 of which 1st Stepmother handled their family budget; 5 of which Toklang et al took over the huge responsibility.

* Now resides somewhere here
Photobucket

* Has had 3 known "long-lasting" relationships with women. One, with Nanay Patty which lasted until 1979; Two, with 1st Stepmother Apolonia which lasted until 1989; Three, with Step-Stepmother Negrita which lasts until forever... we hope. Nothing else happened in 1999, right?

* He is well-respected in the workplace, in his alumni, in his extended family. He has that aura of nobility. He is considered the smartest among his siblings and the most promising too. We sure hope he has maintained that in Vancouver now that he is with his spouse.

* The poor man, because of his hard work at the mines years ago (and the cigarettes), is now disabled with COPD. He can still make it better, with modern medicine but Step-Stepmother prefers to let him that way. Wonder why. The disability benefits, perhaps?

* Loves to help his own brothers than to help his own children. Except for Tokak who has cheated him repeatedly ;-(

Music Monday - She Works Hard For The Money


Lyrics Donna Summer lyrics - She Works Hard For The Money lyrics

Photobucket
This song best describes Mother Jones who really works so hard. Job still not divulged, not known by the family here in the PI.
Tatay Ruby and Auntie Insurance claim she is just a cleaner in a nursing home. When confronted to ask, she herself claims THAT is Auntie Insurance's lowly job.
Caregiver Lady once said before, "No, cleaning is not her job! She is working in a hospital and has a huge salary" and when Caregiver Lady came home to the Philippines sometime in 2008 she just said "Mother Jones doesn't work in a nursing home. No, her job is different! (than Auntie Insurance)"
Her brothers and sister have seen Mother Jones wearing old Vancouver General Hospital scrub suits for housewear, so that must be it.
Whatever her job is, she earns much and earns well to support her 2 children. She has to, her hubby Casino Boy earns for his own overheads and for his dad,mom,siblings in the PI. The very sad thing, though, she is a scrooge to her brothers and sister. In fairness, she gives some to some of them, as the need arises.
Get to know her more... so keep hanging on in the future... and listen:





She Works Hard For The Money - Young Divas
It is a fact, but that is not the entire truth. Want to know the truth on life?
Money is easy to come by, one receives money everyday.

Pretend Tagtime - Meet Mother Jones

Photobucket

Random Things About Her


#1 She's the eldest among this brood of six. The prettiest when they were young children, having inherited the Mestiza Chinese looks of their mother. (All the girls in the family are pretty, they just change their ranks in the family every season)

#2 She's also labeled as the favorite of Tatay Ruby, having had the privilege of going to nursing school in a prestigious university in the North.

#3 Born on August 15, 1969 .She's now 39 years old, though she protests that she's only 36 or younger. Given that she now resides in Vancouver that her looks are preserved, guess that'll do. She's as fair as the ice princess.

#4 During her childhood, whilst their family were still residing in a mining village, she met an accident. As Bodoy would claim, it's because of ONE PESO. She ran down the hill to catch that peso that Bodoy and her were squabbling about but she fell and broke her crown (a-la Jack and Jill). She was hospitalized and in a coma for a month. This could be the reason why her father was protective of her, to compensate for the trouble she has been through.

#5 When their parents separated (when she was 11), her aunt from her mother's side took her to Manila to live with her family. She grew up in her care and she lived with her aunt's family. She was sent to a public high school. Treated nicely and guided well by her well-meaning and educated aunt.

#6 When she just finished her third year in high school (she was perhaps influenced by her friends) she took off and ran away to Baguio supposedly in search of their mother. But no one knows where she's been. It took a month or so before she found her mother with Bodoy.

#7 Same time during this summer that their mother revealed that Mother Jones and Bodoy were not really Tatay Ruby's own children. This came as a shock to Bodoy when he first heard about it. (Bodoy and their mother just came from a trip to their real father's town where Nanay Lemon Law took him along) But when Nanay Lemon Law told the story to Mother Jones, she was not shocked at all, in contrast to Bodoy's reaction - she was overjoyed that she now had relatives who are rich! (Nanay Lemon Law said Mother Jones and Bodoy's family on their father side even have their own hotel business in town)

Photobucket

#8 In childhood, MOther Jones resembled the then-popular child star Janet Giron of "Yagit" It's uncanny that she looks like that in one of her declamation speeches in school.

#9 Mother Jones can't cook pretty well. Not as well as the rest of the family.

#10 She once won a gold medal in a declamation contest in their high school. Later that year she also won the town's best actress award in a short skit where she played a drug-addicted daughter.

#11 In college she studied Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Though she is quite smart, she did not pass the board exam (even still when she bribed an official with 12000 to see her name on the passing list)

#12 She used to make her bangs very, very huge when she was a teenager in the ‘90s and had tall bangs and used a lot of hairspray. High Finance Woman did the same thing and she always got in trouble with her when the Aqua Net runs out.

#13 Up to this day, she keeps her earnings in a vault or lock box inside her home. Caregiver Lady advises her to entrust her earnings in a bank than leave ALL her possessions just there in her home.

#14 When she talks to her siblings, her husband is reminded of the rebel base scene in Star Wars.

#15 She has no idea how to use computers, and is still amazed that Yahoo Messenger is better and cheaper than calling abroad. "At least you get to see the person you are speaking to." Her siblings tease her about it.

#16 Stingy to her own relatives. Only shares when caught, or if her mood permits. Tight-wad except to her "favorites" High Finance Woman is still angry about it and begrudges her, though of course, High Finance Woman has received quite a lot from her and Taba because of (High Finance Woman's) emergencies.

#17 She sometimes feel like she's an only child.

#18 She's kind of materialistic, and still struggle with wanting nice things. But hey, she can well afford it!

#19 Bad news though, the lot that she purchased in year 2001 is not in her name alone. It's in her hubby's name like Juan Dela Cruz married to Juana Dela Cruz. Talk about being demoted after all the hard work. And the piece of land is not quality either. She spent almost a million for it when in truth it's only worth 250,000 from the zonar value.  Thanks to sports betting and casino, eh?

#20 Photobucket
Their family in Canada were featured in a local website (thanks to her hubby's family influence.
Is it familiar to you? Then maybe you know her!

#21 She once carried their father's hopes and dreams that she will make it. She is actually tagged "the favorite" Sadly, she did not meet their father's expectations.

#22 In adolescence, she was always on the look out for hot and handsome guys. She really admires them anywhere. But in fairness, she remains quiet in admiration and not boy-crazy.

#23 Right after college, she learned vices such as drinking and smoking. She was into night outs with friends from high school. Later, she got pregnant and horrors, had to break the news on their father's birthday, when Bodoy had to check her out of the hospital. She was 5 months on the way then.

#24 One month later, her father,  Apol 1st Stepmother and herself decided to see an abortionist. The ordeal was too horrendous for Caregiver Lady (she was 16) to witness as she told the story a year later to the rest of the family who did not know yet. This story will be featured as a separate blog entry.

#25 She resides definitely somewhere here...

oops, sorry, we gave her exact location =)
