So far so good

Blurb: 'Ate Glo is keeping silent on the controversial tape. She's holding on well. So far so good. She's adhering to the 11th commandment which says: "Thou shall not be caught, but if caught thou shall not admit."'

A dentist friend laments that some of the dental laws of the land have become ineffective. Those laws need more teeth!

It says here that some 200 Chinese are expected to become obese in 10 years. Weighty problem. But that usually happens when a country becomes an economic heavyweight.

Someone in media says Samuel Go will continue to pursue his fight against Ate Glo. There's no stopping Sammy, he says. In other words, Sam will Go for broke!

The ongoing Senate probe of the jueteng payola scam is said to be "in aid of legislation." I'm more inclined to believe someone who said that this Senate probe is done "in aid of destabilization."

A lady friend called up on my cellphone. I did not reply. When we met she asked: "I called you but you didn't reply. Why? No load?" I said I feared our conversation might be wire-tapped. Tee-hee!

A big snake was found in the house of sportswriter (my wedding godson and proud of it) Nimrod Quiñones. He has it taken away. Tsk-tsk. Snakes, according to some Chinese friends, bring good luck to the people with whom they share shelter. That snake in Nimrod's home was responsible for the luck he had when he scored a hole-in-one in golf.

I'm one of those who got the next message that said Ate Glo will declare martial law on June 21. It came from a Cebuano newsman now based in Manila. He also got it from another texter. Having worked as a newsman under a martial law regime, that text message kind of made my thought spin silly. But my strong feeling was, and still is, GMA is not sold on putting the country under martial rule.

Thanks to all those sent me text messages last Father's Day. One missent message that strayed into my cellphone said: "Happy father's day, Hon. Tonight same time same place. Ummph!" There's father playing with fire.
