Preparing for the Big Send Off, Part 1

March 11. Wednesday. I got to the Center Gate of ABS CBN around 5.30pm.  I was the second invited winner to arrive.  The family of Jhaphet Flordeliza was already there.  His mom, Babes, was quite a character.  She asked me if I had company and when I said no, she talked me into "adopting" her two friends (Tess and Nel Yap) as my "kapamilya." We asked an event marshall where all the winners would be seated and he pointed us to another event marshall who would entertain questions from us.  But said event marshall was busy giving directions to Jodie Sta. Maria's kapamilya who will play with her.  (Note on Jodie:  She is a snob.  Or maybe, she was just ignoring Babes who kept calling her Judy?) Finally, the event marshall herded us all in the cafeteria.  On our way to the cafeteria, I saw Maria Ressa, head of ABS-CBN's Current Affairs.  She had a ready smile for everyone.  Inside the cafeteria, a nother "relative" ...

"Sometimes, if you don't have anyplace to go, it's probably a good idea to stay where you are." - Whoopi Goldberg, Boys on the Side Makes sense. How many times have we found ourselves at a dead end?  How many crossroads have we faced?  We have to make countless choices every day, but they are all easy.  Choices like where to eat for lunch, what to wear today, etc.  But big choices like resigning from work, getting married, etc. take you to a place where you need to think a hundred times or more before making a life-changing decision.  The nice thing about all of these is that you are in control.  You make the choice and you have to live with it.  But what if the universe has seemingly conspired against you?  Remember those times where you find yourself in the middle of chaos and uncertainty not because of your own doing?  Those times when you feel helpless because you're not in control?  That whatever you do might make matter...
