Three youths arrested for posting racist remarks on Facebook

As I open the door for my husband this morning, he handed me the newspaper on the page which says "Three youths arrested for posting racist remarks on Facebook".

Facebooking as I said has become one of my past times and so I immediately read the news post. It's not that I do such thing (like posting racist or mean remarks online) but I wanted to find out the details. Apparently, three Chinese youths, aged between 17 and 18, have been arrested for posting racist remarks on Facebook. I read on and found out that under Singapore's Sedition Act, anyone found guilty of promoting feeling of ill-will and hostility between different races can be fined up to $5000 and/or jailed up to three years if he is a first-time offender.

It's nice to know that there are certain rules that control the possible abuse that anyone can do when using the Internet.

She got hired fast!

My friend got a job at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore. It was a very fast employment hiring process. She was very lucky to pass the resume on Thursday last week, got interviewed Monday and will sign the employment contract today. Even she could not believe that she'll be working soon.

For job hunters, here is their website!

See you at the Singapore Airshow 2010!

Hubby told me that we're going to the Singapore Airshow 2010! It's a weeklong event that's going to happen on February 2-7, 2010 at the Changi Exhibition Centre. The first 4 days are exclusively for trade attendees while the final 2 weekend days are open to public.

He already got the tickets for February 6. I can't wait to see how Gab will be really amazed with the number of airplanes that he will see. I can't wait to catch his jaw fall down when he looks up to watch the Flying Display!

For more information about the event, you may go to this link!

See you there!

green day's basket case

green day is performing live at the singapore indoor stadium on the 14th of january. wow, i wish i can come to watch. i remember enjoying their music way back in high school. i became friends with the anarchy band (local band in bicol) and one of the band musics that they often play are those of green day's.

i know i'll still enjoy listening to their kind of music. only that i'm not sure if my baby will like it. i think when he grows a little bigger, he will also like listening to these kinds of music.

one of the songs i like is the "Basket Case"

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
All at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Uh, yuh, yuh, ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?

i love the beach... it's oh so relaxing

last night was a fun night to celebrate some time with friends. we had picnic at the east coast park here in singapore and it was really fun. i have always wanted to bring gab to a beach because i want him to experience walking inthe sand and soaking his feet wet with salt water. when we first brought him to sentosa, i did not have much time to let him play with the sand because we were only there at the siloso beach to eat lunch. we had a lot of shows to see when we went there. at the siloso beach, gab did not enjoy the sand. instead, he was a little uncomfortable that he stayed all the time on his stroller.

last night i was so happy that we spent hours of playing and running on the sand. at first, gab looked funny because when we took off his shoes, he stayed for several minutes on where he was standing. he couldn't move a leg. LOL. later on when he saw RD (our friend's kid) running and enjoying building mountains out of the sand, he started walking and then he ran and then he played with the sand.

i love sitting and eating by the seashore. it's relaxing for me. maybe now that i know the place, we will go there often.

Gab's water fountain fun at Vivo City

Aside from the playgrounds scattered everywhere, one of the fun-filled places Gab enjoys to visit are the water fountains here in Singapore.

He loves getting himself drenched... he enjoys being sprayed on... he finds so much fun as jet fountains spew water from the ground..

I wish that Gab will start to talk so that he can tell stories about his excitement and enjoyment every time we bring him to places.

Check out this video... isn't it nice and relaxing to see and hear kids giggling?

Is it the washing machine?

Remember when I said I'll have one of the automatic washing machines on my album? I wrote it in "getting used to doing the laundry ". I said that I'd like to have a washing machine that takes care of everything from start to finish but it'just too expensive. Well, guess what? I did not buy, but I got to use one!

I'm in Singapore right now. My baby and I came here to visit his dad. That's the reason why my laundry task is no sweat. And, that's also the reason I was missing here for quite some time. A couple of weeks before we left the Philippines, I became very busy. I bought stuff for my husband. I applied for my baby's passport. I had to do a lot of things so that everything will be okay when we leave.

I like it here. I don't know if it's because this place is really nice... or it's just that I want to be with my husband.

Or, maybe it's the washing machine!!! LOL.
