Paxenxa na kung kay tagal kong hindi nakakapagpost, nahinto na lang ako basta2 sa topic ko about sa sibuyas.... di bale sa Friday may post ako about sa Prince Albert Restaurant, :)
well, di ko rin naman masisisi sarili ko dahil sa sobrang dame ng aking ginagawa sa school
these past days naging sobrang busy kame as in jabonggang busy like never before dahil sa nalalapit na defense ng feasibility namen....type dito type dun, compute dito compute dun, isip dyan isisp dun, gastos dyan, gastos dito..... as in sobrang naging hectic ng sched namen.
kahapon ( or last February 27, 2011) is a 15 hour straight work sa bahay ng isa kong kagroup, Louis....mabute na lamang eh naginsist din siyang gawn namen yung feasib sa bahay nila, kase kung ako rin tatatnungin, hindi ko matatapos yung task na naka-assign sa akin, and andame ring nakitang problems sa chapters 1 to3 and 5. so mabute na lang talaga, :)
did i mention na nakapagproduce ako ng 219 pages sa Chapter 4 (Technical Aspect) namen? oh db jabongga, hehehe
pero actually, to be honest may na foresee akong problem sa chapter 4 na yun and it is a major part of the aspect..which is the production schedule of each products that we are going to sell. By God's Will, nadelay ang defense ngayong Feb 28, which gave us enough time para maplantsa na lahat ng kailangang maplantsa sa feasib namen.....
oh yung sa production process. i think makaka20 plus na pages rin ako dun, so that makes 240 pages sa technical aspect? hehehe dagdag mo pa yung autocad, hehe
so anyway, sana this remaining 7 days maging tutti-fruitful na ito, sana matapos na ang lahat ng kailangang tapusin upang maidefend na namen lahat ng iyon sa March 7...and after that...siguro I'll have a drink, probably vodka or any other cocktails...
as celebration lang sa aming success...
BREAK A LEG!!! :)

Best Friend ko, niya at nating lahat....!
I haven't posted any food blog yet, kaya eto, babawi ako, ehehe
Hindi siya tao, bagay,hayop, lugar at pangyayare....
pwede siyang kainin,well, siya'y madalas nateng gamiting sa pang-araw2 na lutuin... (oh btw this is food blog again...
,
so,
SOME SCENES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR EMPTY STOMACHS, PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS ADVISED.
Anyhow, this is about a simple cooking ingredient that we often use. yep, you know this baby already and it has been used every since....wanna know what it is?
okay then, I'll tell you....
its no other than, an Onion......
janan....
a local red onion and a white one....
hmmm.... bakit ko nga ba napiling gawing topic itong damuhong na toh?.....kase nakakita ako ng tshirt one time na may onion na nakaprint? nah, that's not it.....
well, maybe i could just share a simple thought with everyone who loves to eat.....
first..what are the difference between the two....
a Red Onion....ladies and gentlemen, is sometimes called purple onions, are cultivators of the onion with purplish red skin and white flesh tinged with red. These onions tend to be medium to large in size and have a mild to sweet flavor. They are often consumed raw, grilled or lightly cooked with other foods, or added as color to salads. They tend to lose their redness when cooked.
a white onion on the other hand, is a type of dry onion that has a pure white skin and a sweet, mild white flesh. This onion is used in Mexican foods or complementing the flavors of other ingredients.
The onion can be sauteed to a dark brown color and served to provide a sweet and sour flavor to other foods.
blah2... hehehe
parehas nakakaiyak di ba? parehas din mabaho sa kamay kapag hinihiwa, pero wag ka.... these two are one of the main reasons why a food tastes like food. i know you're sick of crying kapag naghihiwa ka ng ganito, pero di maiiwasan yun... let me guess.... kapag naghihiwa ka, pipikit ka.... o kaya hihiram ka ng shades para hindi maiyak?
NOPE, that is absolutely wrong mga prends and pamily.... i know two ways on how you can prevent from crying..... first.... cut the onion in half, then soak it in water.... chefs in Edsa Shang does this, they don't know what the science of this is, pero they were taught to do this and it is definitely effective.... (I've been doing this ever since i learned it.) another..... hindi mata ang ncause ng pagiyak...kung hindi sa ILONG.....when you slice onions, you smell it, then your eyes suddenly shed tears na medyo mahapdi.... hindi ba kapag nakalanghap ka ng usok ng baga naiiyak ka? thats the same phenomenon with an onion..... :)
oh btw, ang sibuyas ang tanging magpapaiyak sa yo kahit sino ka pa, wahahaha.
anyhow, i think hindi rin masyado oriented ang lahat sa pwedeng gawin sa Onion...well automatic pagsinabe sibuyas sasabihin panggisa...hell no..... there are foods that can be done using a mere onion....
well i don't know if it pleases everyone, pero heck, a crispy onion ring makes you high, hehe.... imagine, that ring, coated in batter, deep fried into perfection,... when drained.... pwede mong lagyan ng kung anong sauce ang gusto mo... kung sa Racks ka ka2in nito, masarap isaw2 toh sa barbeque sauce nila... :D, well if you plan to eat this in a drinking session, beer is the best accompaniment of this baby..... :)
and of course, baka makalimot, merong ganyan sa BK and sa pinakamamahal kong....Johnny Rockets.... ala lang share, ehehe
another, is,
French Onion Soup,
it is made up of onion and beef broth or a beef stock based soup traditionally served with croutons and cheese as toppings. Well, the onions are simply boiled with the stock, then during service.... croutons (cubes of toasted bread, often used on salads) then topped with melted cheese. (the cheese is guyere, i dunno the correct spelling pero that kind of cheese is used on fondues....) oohhh scrumptious... :D
a REAL hamburger is incomplete without the onion,
arrange everything in order, first the other half of the bun which is slightly toasted btw. then pour some ketchup, mayo, and the way i love it... with mustard... followed by the tomato, and of course....that grilled beef patty... did i mention that is 100% pure beef? ehehe, then the lettuce, and finally the onion and to cover it all, the other bun.... taste it,...yum....ooohhh la la, Delicious! haha
btw....alam niyo ba tong chips na toh?
la lang, nakakaadik kase tong chercherya na toh eh, ehehe
madalas kong binibili toh nung--- anu ba tawag dun? yung susunod sa elementary? di ko alam yun eh, xenxa na, bitter eh, ahahaha
since sibuyas naman ang topic, i mentioned this na rin, ehehehe!
oh btw, keep this in mind..... cause some recipes will call for this babies as well....
walang sisihan kung nagutom kayo kakabasa nito, ahahahaha

syimpre wag nateng kalimutan ang,
Hamburger
arrange everything in order, first the other half of the bun which is slightly toasted btw. then pour some ketchup, mayo, and the way i love it... with mustard... followed by the tomato, and of course....that grilled beef patty... did i mention that is 100% pure beef? ehehe, then the lettuce, and finally the onion and to cover it all, the other bun.... taste it,...yum....ooohhh la la, Delicious! haha

madalas kong binibili toh nung--- anu ba tawag dun? yung susunod sa elementary? di ko alam yun eh, xenxa na, bitter eh, ahahaha
since sibuyas naman ang topic, i mentioned this na rin, ehehehe!
oh btw, keep this in mind..... cause some recipes will call for this babies as well....
- shallots - or known as sibuyas na mura, yung maliliit na sibuyas na red.....
- Leeks - or dahon ng sibuyas..... well, this comes in bunches.... matatabang dahon yan na pahaba, kapag hinihiwa mo, naglalaway...
- scallions - or also known as spring onions, this is the usual thing you put in a lugaw, remember? :D
- chives - the smallest of all the onion family, well mas maliit pa siya kesa sa spring onions, aryt?
- the thing they say when slicing onions, na tatakpan mo ng tinapay? inuulol lang kayo nun, kahit takpan mo pa yan ng croissant iiyak ka rin, kase nga naaamoy mo yung sibuyas kaya ganun, makinig kayo sa CHEF okay? (feelingero much, ahahaha)
- For decoration or garnishing, white onions are of better use
- If you prefer less crying, use white onions than red
- If you want a much stronger flavor, use the red one.......
- If you want to make rings, just cut the onion diagonally, then viola,... :D
walang sisihan kung nagutom kayo kakabasa nito, ahahahaha

hmmmmphhh
Sa tuwing papasok ako sa school, iisang time lang pinaka gusto ko talaga....
Although pwede naman yun kahit sa bahay lang,
yung ay tuwing 6am ng umaga or maybe 5:30 pa nga...
yep thats right, ala's singko y media ng umaga, nasa school na ako kapag ganyang oras....excited ako eh, ehehe
So anyway, kaya gustong gusto ko sa oras na yun, eh kase may mga bagay na ansarap pagmasdan at namnamin kpag kaaunti pa lang ang studyante sa loob ng university. iisa-isahin ko para sa inyo..
:)
nasaan na kaya ang disciplina ng mga studyante ngayon.....

:)
- Absolute silence....dahil iilan lang din ang makikita sa school ng ganitong oras, ansarap magstay sa isang lugar at gawin yung hindi pa natatapos na assignment or maybe magbasa ng libro o kaya'y maglaro ng PSP or just simply nap habang maaga pa. Nakakabinge ang katahimikan sa oras na ito, pero ansarap sa pakiramdam..... para sa akin, it's SWEET SERENITY..... ngunit kapag umabot na ng quarter to seven SERENITY OVER..... andame nang studyanteng magdadatingan,,, maririnig mo mga yapak nila, at kapag nakita nila isang kaklase nila, mag-uusap na yan na parang walang bukas..... wala nga namang magsusuway dahil nasa ground.... pero heck, and minsanang katahimikan ay nsaglit lang nanatili.
- Clean toilet.... wierd noh? hehe pero during this time of the morning kase, ang linis pa ng kubeta.... di ka mandidiri sa sahig or sa kung anu man..... peor pag dumamai na studyante, wala na kadiri na....makakakita ka ng ihi-ihi sa sahig ng toilet bowl, at umaalingasaw na ang panghe....taena, mga tao nga naman, porket hindi nila bahay grabe na kung magkalat, well ibig sabihin, sa bahay ganito rin ang ginagwa nila.....
- Mainit at bagong taho....Sa labas ng school, bumibili ako ng taho para mainitan ang tyan, tsaka pagpabigat na rin... hehe, once na bumili kasi ako kay manong ng ganitong oras, pagbukas niya nung lalagyan niya, naguumapaw pa ang steam ng soya niya, woooh sarap!
- Mga taong inaantok pa.... Makikita mo sa studyanteng maaga dumating na galing pa sa malayo na pumipikit-pikit pa at gusto pa atang humabol ng tulog.....
- Mga kopyangers.... Mga studyante nga namang nagnanais magkumpleto ng assignment, pero hindi sa sariling sikap, kung di sa hirap ng iba...kapal ng mukha eh, noh.. tsk2
nasaan na kaya ang disciplina ng mga studyante ngayon.....

Valentines Like Never Before.....
Last February 14, I had a date with my mom. I'd rather go out and celebrate this day with her rather than celebrate it with some hag who'll scavenge my wallet. And beside, I'm single, S-I-N-G-L-E, single but not available... okay? hehe
as part of the tradition, guys give girls flowers, or chocolates to their loved ones.
Well my mom counts as my loved ones, so she deserved this kind of things.
I don't have much money to buy her a bouquet and an expensive one. Instead, i bought her those that were being sold beside the church. It looks good though, bought it for 100 pesos only. (its the thought that counts not the price, besides, i wouldn't waste a thousand on such things since it'll all end in trash once it withers.., just being practical here...)
so to cut the story short, we went to East Wood City and to have our dinner in Johnny Rockets. I chose that place cause I have been begging for all my life to eat there. I wanted to eat in that place so bad ever since i first saw it exist in this country. I think that was in Tomas or East Wood? i dunno i forgot, hehe
so anyway, as we went inside the place.... The place, is extremely awesome.
When we got inside, the lady who escorted us to our seat greeted us the after a few seconds, the other staff does the same. They say hello at the same time, which makes feel so damn welcome to the restaurant. And of course, that's one aspect of a good customer relationship, (i should know cause i'm working on a thesis on that, hehe).. I would have to say, that that kind of treatment deserves a good review, and well, if I were a critique, i would give this place a 1.00,
next, is when we took our order, i was confused with what i should eat, there are so many burgers to choose from, and their are also so many stuff inside that menu that is worth dying to try. Mader wanted just wanted to have fries, she said that she'll have a small part from what I will eat. but i advised her that all the burger meals has an inclusion of fries PLUS.. IT'S UNLIMITED, which is totally out of this world. As in awesome out of this world!
I asked the server,(she's probably a supervisor since she's in read unlike the other who were wearing white...)
i just confirmed if all meals have unlimited fries, she said yes, so i went for Route 66...(i remember it with mushroom, some onions, and the patty itself, i kinda forgot the rest... hehe) she asked me if i wanted it rare, medium rare, or well done.... well, i want my meat medium rare, so i went for it.... and damn, that lady is beautiful by the way, hehehe anyway back to the restau! hehe
here's some pictures of what we ate,
.oh btw, this is the most amazing part with Johnny Rockets.....which makes them unique, and very very highly competent...
they're gonna do those dances every 30 minutes by the way, :)
and what's cool is that they us a heart balloon, which is also awesome, hehe
____________________________________________
When we paid for the bill, gosh our 750 is worth it, hehe expensive as it may seem, but the price is just right... when i left a tip, i also left a note saying that I am a food blogger and i would like them to read my review about them, i gave them my URL also (gosh, i hope they're reading this, and i hope i am making sense here, hehe)
anyway,
when i entered that door and the guys welcomed us, that was totally the nicest thing that a restaurant could have ever done, at least we felt that we'd be having a great time once we are seated. PLUS, it was great that all these people are friendly enough to the customers, there's no point of being shy and they'd make your day well because of their smiles which makes me, and i hope everyone, blissful.
Orienting the customers with what they serve is also a way on how they could gain customer loyalty, at least the customers would never have to be so questioning and they'd have a bit knowledge on what Johnny Rockets serves and how things go in there.
Well, the best.and most tremendous of all is the food...
I mentioned that i ordered a medium-rare burger, well, the tenderness of meat made my mouth water for some more, like i wish i could go back there everyday and have myself a juicy burger. Did i mention that the juiciness of the burger, the freshness of the bread, the unique combination of the mushrooms and other stuff in that burger makes my senses tingle.
Well, the fries made me so full, but what the heck, it was great. Just like how i wanted my fries. Not so oily, no extenders, all potatoes,...deep fried into perfection and even served with a ketchup that is smiling at you....
but i wanted, my fries to dipped with a thousand island dressing... so i asked if i could have mayo, and they granted me my request, oh combine it with ketchup, and some tabasco, and viola, dip the fries there, and then you're in heaven already.... :)
well, despite of the products and the warm feeling,what i found the best in this restau are just two things...which i firmly believe that will make this restaurant successful and very well known.
one, is that they have initiative and pays close attention to the needs of their guests. how? well, before my fries and drinks would ran out, one of them would just come by and ask if i wanted some more, say yes and they'll get you more, of not, it's cool. :)
and,no complaints
it happened when i asked one staff for a mayo, well, it took a few minutes before it came, but then i asked another to get me one.... the first one came and after a few minutes the other came also, I said "ay sorry miss nasabe ko na pala dun sa isa," she said... "okay lang po yun sir," then smiled..... even if the order was doubled, nobody complained,.... that was great...
we all want to be welcomed in some other way, even if we take our food outside, we always seek for that feeling where we can go home satisfied and that idea of going back in that restaurant, and even that time worth remembering, and worth recommending to peers... well, i know that Johnny Rockets gave me that...., and lastly, i would mention that having a coffee plus any pastry is like heaven... but then, Johnny Rockets is also heaven....
where i had the best 60 minute eating time of my entire freaking life.

For me, you, and them.... :)
I was thinking about ya
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper
Like ya like shooting stars
Or write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror
And I know, I know
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know, she's gotta be
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe i've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future
In a beautiful face
Maybe
She's anything but typical
A sweet surprise
No matter what she's looking at the bright side
It's gonna be worth it
Cos that's what love is
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect
And I know, I know,
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know, she's gotta be
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say, maybe i've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future, in a beautiful face
Maybe
They say, give it time,
Give it time and it will fall in line
But I, keep wondering how and when and why I haven't met you
But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Is she the one, is it today
Will i turn the corner, see my future, in a beautiful face.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by

Maybe
Ohhhh, maybe, yeah.
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect.

* did you ever wondered who that special someone could be? Who would that number 1 be that will add a number to your zero, and who's that person that'll give you happiness and love you for who you are.?
well, i know i often wonder who that might be, pero i do not give a damn para hanapin,....
"And I know, I know She's gotta be out there, out there I know, I know, she's gotta be" i do not give a damn to find her, because i know that time will come when the two of us will cross paths and finally meet. know each other, love each other, marry each other, have sex, be a family, and love each other some more for the rest our freaking lives. She's somewhere out there, and you know it,
"Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. Maybe I just let you walk by. What can I say, maybe i've known you all my life. Is she the one, is it today. Will I turn the corner, see my future in a beautiful face? Maybe."
you know that someday maybe that you two will meet, hindi lang naten minsan napapansin kung sino talaga siya, marahil nga eh malayo siya o baka nasa kabilang dako pa ng mundo..... or maybe, nasa harapan mo na. di mo lang pinapansin, ang layo pa ng tingin, andyan lang pala, and kapag nakita mo na siya, you'd ask, "will she/he be the one where i can spend my life tomorrow?"
"She's anything but typical .A sweet surprise. No matter what she's looking at the bright side" you'd also ask yourself, will she be the most beautiful girl in the whole world? but heck, no matter what she looks like, she's still the angel that was sent for you. kahit may kulugo pa siya sa ilong, basta alam mong mahal mo siya at maligaya ka sa kanya, mamahalin mo siya, hanggang bukas....
"It's gonna be worth it. Cos that's what love is. I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect"
no matter how many tomorrows that you have to wait, you'll keep on waiting, dahil alam mo na kahit matagal, magkakaroon din ng halaga ang ginagawa mo. kahit mukha ka nang tanga, at least, walang pagsisisi, that kind of perfect which will hit you in the balls and give a hundred percentage of the love that you long for.
"They say, give it time, Give it time and it will fall in line.But I, keep wondering how and when and why I haven't met yo"
i advice, to all of you, just wait, just wait and see what God has for you, if you're meant to be single for life, live with it... there are some other plans that God has for you, if you're meant to meet. Lucky you. Don't wonder why you can't find him/her, just wait. God blesses those who wait and those who believes in him...

here's the song by the way.. just in case you want to hear it... :)
- well, advance happy valentines sa inyong lahat, kung may kadate man kayo, kayo na punyeta! (nak ng pota oh.LOL)
- Anyhow, may kadate din naman ako, hehe, Mama ko.... wahahaha, di ko kinakahiya, ang sabe di ba, "celebrate valentines day with your loved ones..." LOVED ONES.... which included prends and pamily!
- Oh, i keep on saying "tomorrow" or "bukas" sa post ko, well, i firmly believe, that Eternity does not exist, dahil wala namang nabubuhay ng ganung katagal except Styrofoams.... kaya tomorrow, kase, you can rest assure, that there will always be. Dahil hindi mawawala sa araw, ang bukas kaya ganun....
- Don't I deserve some welcoming? done na ang ang aking pagigin hiatus eh, haha (demanding much?)
Tis,

Guilty, Chapter 4
*Let's go onward to Chapter four... Here's the other chapters if you want to recap:
_____________________________________________________

Chapter 4:
Browsing
"Mr. Ferdinand wants to talk to you, he said to let you come in," the maid said.
"Okay, so we'll wait here in the living room," Alice answered.
"No you can't wait here, he's upstairs, resting. I'll tell you when you get there. I promise."
"Then upstairs we go!" I said with excitement.
There was a spiral staircase that leads to the second story of the house. Well, perhaps a mansion.
I went ahead, followed by Alice followed by Martin. The house was completely silent, i could not hear any noise except ourvoices and this voice of mine in my head. Will i ever shut up? I guess not.
Isis lead us in ahall full of portraits. I stopped to examine, the pictures were taller than us, it must have cost them
millions of dollars just to paint one. The first picture i saw was an old man. He was wearing a balc coat, vest, a tie and
slacks. He was very formal. He looked serious and it seemed that the man has his own issues. He's sick,
got it when he was in highschool. He's probably within the age of 15 and 18. I looked at the bottom part of the portrait. Ferdinand Court it says. So this was the guy we needed to talk to.
"Gil over here!" called Martin. I walked along the hall and caught up with the rest. I entered a room which was likely to be isolated from the other rooms that we have passed. Inside, i saw a king sized bed where Mr. Court lays. He was bedridden. There were tanks beside his bed, his mouth was covered with a mask, for breathing. And Isis sits besides him.
"You have been monitoring him ever since?" asked Alice.
"Yes, ever since he got sick, since highschool." Isis said. (Haha i was right again.) "He has lung and heart problems. He cannot breathe without any support and his heart is very weak. He cannot tire himself so the doctor advised him to stay in bed for good. They said that he won't be able to lift anything, it'll tire him easily."
"But how do you communicate with him?" I asked.
"The old fashion way, Morse code, but he can still hear you clearly," she said. "I give him my hand, he does the tapping and i do the interpretation. I tap his if someone speaks with him, which includes me by the way."
"Oh, very nice. So, can you ask him, if he killed Reuben?" i asked.
Isis went close to the body, lend her hand. Ferdinand, tapped her hans many times. I couldn't get the message though, I'm not fond of these. The tapping continues, tap, tap-tap, tap-taaaap-tap and so on. He then lets her hand go.
"You son of a bitch, how would i even kill my grandson if I am bedridden?" Isis said, speaking as if he was Ferdinand.
"Well okay, ask him if he knows anyone that has a grduge against Luther,"
There she goes again, tap, tap-tap, etsetera. After a few minutes or so. She went to us.
"No sorry, i don't think he has. He's a very kind grandson of mine. He is generous and courteous to everyone and at the same time, respectful. He admits that he's gay, but it wasn't much of an obstruction to his career."
"Can he give us any opinions about why his grandson could have been killed? Motives that is." Martin asked
I didn't stay in the room any longer, i could not wait for any answers for any minute. The tapping makes me uneasy, I wanted this investigation to be over already. Although I have a hint who the killer would be. I won't mention who it is, I'm still unsure, i need more proof if I am going to catch him.
I went to hall again, browsed all the portraits that were hanged beside the wall. I went for Reuben's portrait, then Luther and finally the family portrait. There were only three people in this picture. Ferdinand, Reuben, and Luther. The two was sitting beside each other when this was painted, except for Luther. There was a small gap between him and the other two. All three are smiling, but one was not proving anything in his smile.
I went back to Alice. Currently,Isis was talking again.
"Reuben has been a very good child, he follows the rules, sticks to it and abides it. Plus, he never fails in his field. When he entered college, he was always a dean's lister, ranked 1st place. Until his graduation, where graduate Magna Cum Laude."
"I see," Alice said as he was jotting down on her notepad.
"Alice, I think we have enough information. Let's go back, shall we?"
"Very well." Alice said. She went to Isis and held her hand. "We'll be in touch, we'll call in case we need something or something comes up."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Steve and Grace were still inside the office when we came back.
"Boss, Svien calls up for a meeting," Grace said.
"He calls on the right time, great. Let's go. Oh Gil, just close the lights once youve decided to go home okay?"
"I wont't go yet, i missed my sofa, I'd be reading here or sleep until you guys come back."
"Suit yourself."
Everybody left except me. I lay on my favorite place in this wrecthed building. I lay flat against it. I then pondered what I saw earlier before. I closed my eyes, and the next thing i remember was, I was already dreaming.
Ring....ring....ring......
Can somebody get that?
ring....ring....rin...
I guess not. I opened my eyes, I stood up from where i was sleeping, saw the clock and it was exactly 6pm. Wow the guys surely had a lot to discuss. They haven't left yet, I know it. Steve's keys to his SUV is still on his desk. He wouldn't leave without it, that's for sure.
ring...ring....ring....
Alright already!
"Hello?"
"Help us! Somebody came in here, killed sir Ferdinand! Please i need your help!"
"Isis?"
"Yes it's me, please come here quick!"
"Alright alright we'll be right over." Then the lines were off. I rushed to my cellphone which probably fell on the sofa while I was sleeping. Dialed a number and then.....
"Grace! Somebody killed Sir Ferdinand!" I said, with much anxiety, and panic.

To my prends and my pamilies.....
To all my readers...,
I'm apologizing if I am not able to make posts recently, i have so much to say in this page of mine, but the only problem that stops me is, how. I do not having writer's block, but the question is, how the heck will I be able to make posts with all those crappy school requirements?
Sinabe ko before, nung mga time na nasa bahay lang ako, naghihintay ng enrollment, sabe ko kay mader q. "Gusto ko na ulit pumasok." And thank God, nakapagenroll ulit ako. Sinabe ko rin sa sarili ko, "dapat maging handa ako dahil 3rd year na ako. Hindi na biro lahat ng possibleng mangyare. Masmatindi na ang challenges and marame nang pagpapakasakit ang kailangang danasin."
Hinanda ko na ang sarili ko sa lahat ng pwedeng ipagawa ng professor. Nagtiis ako para lang maging maganda ang grades ko. Tinabe ko muna ang hilig ko sa pagbabasa ng libro para mapagtuunan ko ng pansin toh. Nagawa ko naman, pero matapos ang isang buwang bakasyon. Heto na naman.
Dumaan ang unang markahang pagsusulit, napakabilis, sinundan naman ng isang bakasyon muli. Pero pagdating ng Enero, heto na naman kame.
Pebrero na, ilang araw lang ang lilipas at Marso na ulit, oo at kay bilis ng araw, pero nakakainis.
Hinanda ko na ang sarili ko sa pressure na pwede kong pagdaaanan ngayon, pero bakit ganun, kahit gano pa ako kaready, tila parang maslalo akong pinahihirapan. Andameng kailangang gawen, requirements dito, requirements dun, aral dito, aral dun. Hanggang kailan ba toh? Ang tanging paraan ko para kumawala sa stress, hindi ko rin magawa dahil sa dame ng lintik na requirements na yan.,....
To all my readers, i think this will be my last post for awhile. This page will be in hiatus for a moment. Ngunit ako'y magbabalik, maybe to make some changes to my posts, and maybe add some new things. You want porn? I can give it ya, just tell me when i get back.
Farewell, for now.
Sayonara!

Guilty, Chapter 3
here are the other previous chapter of our series..
__________________________________________________________________
Guilty
Chapter 3
Clues
Chapter 3
Clues
Steve and I took his SUV and went to forsensics. We arrived at exactlY noon. Once inside,the office looked like a beehive, everyone is busy with their work. There were some who works on files, there were some who were walking around as if passing a message from one person to another and there are some who, says they are working but not. Ghost employees. Be scared.
As we walked along to the autopsy room, Isis, as what she preferred to be called, the best of the examiners in this place, Was waiting outside, taking water from the thermos. Coffee probably. She looked at us, and wondered.
"Oh NBI, i didn't expect you'd come here. Did you receive the files about Dr. Reuben?" she asked.
"Yes, we just did, but there was something i needed to check on him, will that be necessary?" I asked.
"Well alright, please wait for me, I'll just place my coffee on my desk then we'll go."
"Take your time."
Isis smiled, then walked away.
Beep beep.
Steve checked his phone, flipped it up and answered the call.
"Yes?.....mmm hmmm.... okay, bye. Hey Gil, boss says to go back as soon as we're done here, Martin and Grace we'll be the one to check on Thompson."
"Well, okay."
Minutes later, Isis came and called the two of us. As we approached the entrance of the autopsy room, she handed out 2 packs of spearmint gums. "Take this, you'll need it once inside, chew on one piece now, then chew the rest once inside. The smell won't do you good. I know food and drinks are not allowed inside, but this is an exception. It'll prevent you being from being nauseus."
"Who would even eat food beside a dead body?" I cracked. But nobody seemed to get my humor. Oh well, better luck next time.
"What does a gum has to do with the smell of corpses?" Steve asked.
"Well, the smell of a dead body isn't perfume. The smell of its exterior is awful, and way way awful in the interior. And we're making the room clean and sanitary as possible."
"I see, thank you." I said. "Can i keep the rest once we're done?"
"Suit yourself." She continued walking and opened up two big doors. Sheets of thick plastic were also on the entrance. Just passed by under them, then a cool breeze of air came to us once we entered. Ooooh, how cool is that. We walked and passed several bodies, there were also guys in white inside, dressed as nurses.
"Are they students?" i asked.
"Yes, nursing students. Studying a human probably."
"I hate that," Steve said. "Digging in on someone Else's body."
"Well, nobody claimed the body and that person has no relatives to claim it. Yes I know it's kind of inhumane, but its legal, and its the only way to study Anatomy. Besides, you can't dig on a living body you know."
"Ha ha!" i laughed. Steve just seemed to stare at me, no sense of humor, oh come on!
"Once they're done, we'll be the one to do all the burying anyway, a proper burial that is."
"mmmm," Steve said. Probably saying oh or i get it.
"Well, here we are. Dr. Reuben's."
I went ahead of Steve and gazed upon the corpse. Pale, naked, icy cold, and as hard as wood. Reuben looked as if he's just sleeping. I opened the eye lids, his eyes weren't the usual thing you see. There we're circular objects covering them. I pointed it to Isis.
"Eye caps. Like thumbtacks, has a pointed edge at the bottom. Closes your eyes permanently," she said.
I nodded, then looked back at the body, took off the cover. There was that big Y cut from his chest down to his stomach. I could open it, but no, Steve doesn't seem to like it. I took out a gum and chewed. I saw the hole in his chest, the one made by Cc boy. I looked at the face, then.
"Chew" Isis said. Steve followed the command, like how a dog responds to his master's command. I didn't dare to chew one gum. I'm kind of used to things like this. Psychology by the way, hands on a human body. The brain to be exact.
Beep.Beep. Oh come on, can't that thing be in silent mode?
"Yes?" Steve asked.
I put back the cover, finally I'm done.
"His gay," I said to Isis.
"What?" she asked.
"Gay. G-A-Y. The reason for being divorced and having no children at all. Dr. Reuben's gay."
"But how do you know that? That kind of detail?"
"Hey Gil, Grace said according to Mrs. Thompson, they were divorced for 2 years now. She said, he was gay and had no interest to women," Steve said.
"See?" I grinned then winked at Isis.
"But how?"
"Sorry ma'am but that one's confidential." I smiled. "Come on Steve let's go for lunch."
Steve and I left forensics and got back to the office just before lunch. Grace was there in her desk, and so was Martin and Alice. Looks like a team meeting. Boring. I went to my favorite spot, the good-old-leather-studded-sofa. How relaxing!
"So what's up?" I asked.
"You probably know that Dr. Reuben's gay right?" Alice asked.
"Even before Grace called," answered Steve.
"So, let's put it together, Dr. Reuben has been killed with a 50 Cc Syringe. He's divorced, gay and has a brother." Martin said.
"A nurse by the way," i butted in.
"Since he is a nurse, can't he be a prime suspect?" asked Grace.
"We cannot jump to conclusions just like that, there might be some other people who did it. We have two choices. One, someone who works in a hospital did this, or maybe, someone killed him on purpose and got a syringe as a weapon to kill the doctor," I explained.
"If it's either in the same field or not, then who'd kill him on purpose, then what could be the motive?" added Grace, " and further more, why kill a psychiatrist?"
"A psychiatrist gives medications to anyone who has issues to themselves. Maybe, Dr. Reuben had a misunderstanding with a patient. That led him to his death," Martin assumed.
I know that kind of story, anyway.
"It cannot be," i said. " A patient of a psyciatrist owes his/her life to their doctor. It's merely impossible that they'll do such things like kill, especially to a person who had been a big help to them."
"Well we still need some more resources. Check out on anyone who has any connections to Dr. Reuben," ordered Alice.
"Got it boss," answered Grace. She then typed so many things in her computer, i lost count on what it is. She's a fast typist i should say.
"Here we go,"
"Fire away," said Alice.
"Dr. Reuben's father died of illness and his mother died during Luther's birth. The only relative they both have is their grandfather. His name is, Ferdinand Court. Unemployed but owns millions of bucks."
"Give me the adress, Martin and Gil goes with me," ordered Alice.
"Here you go." Then Grace passed on a small note. I think it contains the adress of this person we're about to check on. Woohoo road trip. I stood up on my place, then went for the car.
"Steve, just stay here in case Grace finds something."
"Yes, boss."
I went back, grinned at Steve. I folded my arms and acted like a chicken.
"Boss!"
"Oh come on!" Then Alice pulled me away.
We took the SUV again. We arrived at the place. It was guarded. Before we approached the gate, there was cab that went out of the place. Probably a visitor, or was a visitor. We went to the gate, the two had to show their badges for proof. I only have an id to show, but I'm glad they accepted it. The house seemed to be built in stones. With windows made entirely of glass. Not to mention the pool, very wide I must say. And the huge garden, with rare flowers blooming everywhere, and the house
itself by the way is huge. A millionare perhaps.
We parked the car underneath a tree,then to the front door, Alice knocked.
"Mr. Ferdinand Court? NBI. We wish to have a word with you," Alice said.
Martin and I stood behind.
5 minutes passed.
Another minuted passed.
And finally, i heard the sounds that I have been waiting to hear. The sound of an unlocking door. When it opened, it wasn't Ferdinand, the maid herself opened up for us.
"Come in," she said.
