My future son's name

Two weeks ago I posted this on tumblr:

Unorthodox Baby Name Club 

(Via: North West Joins Unorthodox Baby Name Club) 

Here are some other unusual celebrity offspring names: (My Top Three Favorites) — Buddy Bear Maurice, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Daisy Boo Pamela and Poppy Honey Rosie, children of Jamie Oliver— Peaches Honeyblossom, Little Pixie, Fifi Trixibelle and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily (adopted), daughters of Bob Geldof— Harlow Winter Kate and Sparrow James Midnight, children of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden

In college, I had thought about naming my future adopted or surrogate daughter: Georgiana (after Duchess Georgiana Canvendish) Gertrude (after reading the name — full name: Gertrude Beckett — during a class on Jose Rizal’s life). As I would like to keep the family tradition of first names that starts with E (all my brothers’s names start with E) I have thought of the name Emmanuelle. (It should have been the name of my youngest sister. Wouldn’t it sound chic?)Meanwhile, I will name Emmanuelle Georgiana Gertrude’s twin brother: Erran Eight Godfrey. Ah, ~thoughts~.

Here's an update:

Now, being a sloth in front of the computer on a breezy Sunday morning, I saw the name Elgar and I'm considering it as an additional name for my #futureson Erran Eight Godfrey.

Elgar after Menswear Fashion Editor of i-D magazine Elgar Johnson.

Just because it sounds like my first name.

I'm ~board~. Hahaha.

YASSSSSSS

It's official: singing I'm feeling 22 now will always be nothing but just a feeling as I have turned  plus one (1) from that previously-mentioned number.

I find it somehow unusual that I didn't hold the usual blues that I had in the years before. This picture I saw in tumblr quite sums the feeling up:

I'm happy about my career F5.

I'm good with my social commitment and I have been praying for us, with God's grace, to  be able to do more for others.

No love life, that's the bummer part. Though my heart beating fancily these days. ;-)

Please let it be known that I’m super thankful to everyone who greeted me on my birthday. Special mention to the one who gave the most swell b-day message I have ever received: Boss Scud (we are one big family in our efforts to become more as men for others), for the skinny love: B (be your own thinspiration haha);  for the sweet message and food (read: cupcakes): K; for the bottomline-get-a-love messages: Aphet betch and Rain; and to the ones who made A for effort: Aay my F and Kennedu. 

Thank you all. Kiss!

The most happening week

Last week was the most happening week to date.

• National and Local Mid-term Elections took place last May 13th.

From Naga City's UbosKunUbos going undisputed yet again to #IpasoksiDick and then from Habemus Binay

to Migz Villafuerte -- Cam Sur's Governor-elect -- becoming the youngest provincial leader in the country in recent times.

• David Beckham's announcement of his retirement from pro football. We here love #GoldenBalls!

• Fast 6 cast visited Manila led by bokalbs Vin Diesel 

• Another Hollywood star graced the opening of SM Aura Premier in Taguig, no less than SJP herself

• May 16 was International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. 

• Wanderland has become a promising music festival-type event staged in MNL

• Ai-Ai De Las Alas's marriage with Jed Salang breaks after less than a month

What the comedy star admitted was wanting to have a fairy tale married life, have something nice to post on Instagram.

I got sad about her Kim K-esque wedding.

On my part, I started my new work as an Administrative newbie.

Indeed, it's TIME TO CHOOSE, people of the Republic of the Philippines.

HMD!

Tres Marias

In 3rd District, we have four candidates for congressional seats.

I didn't know that; there a thorn among the roses.What I knew was we had three ladies vying for the post. Which is rather interesting, isn't it?

This one battle is believed to be a fierce one between both lawyers, Atty. Leny and Atty. Nelly (whose respective husbands are deemed political rivals, the late Sec. Robredo and incumbent 3rd District Rep. Villafuerte).

But not to be counted out is Provincial Board Member Mrs. Pante, who, given her political experience, can be this poll's 'dark horse.'

Comes Monday, May 13, the people will decide on who will emerge to represent Camarines Sur's 3rd District in the lower house.

Btw, have you made your cheat sheet? This is a rare time when carrying one will be tolerated inside the classroom-voting precinct.
