Time was when frustrated lovers would leave suicide notes on Kleenex tissues. Today they leave their suicide notes on Facebook and Twitter. Oh, well...

I just read a coffee table book titled "Fun in Old Balara" by Aris Tides. I enjoyed reading it. It got me into recalling my boyhood in Manila when Balara Filters was the favorite picnic ground of Manilans and Visayans visiting Manila.

OVERHEARD: Reading the news item that Sen. Drilon assures immediate OK of the Bangsamoro law, a housewife in Cagayan de Oro was heard saying: "Dalidali-a ninyo tawon og aprub ang Moro law oy, Kasamok baya ana, Drilon oy." Another Oro City resident said: "Kun lisud na aprobahan balaura, nganong gihimo man na? May na ipausap ni PNoy. Samok-samok ra na."
