George and Vicky



Milan Kundera: "Dogs are links to paradise. They don't know evil or jealous or discontent. To sit on a hillside with a dog on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where nothing was not boring, it was peace."

Our Georgelablab, no one makes me worry more when he's not eating well or have some sort of fever. With him, all defenses are down Sometimes, I think I am unfair by not sparing him my own kitchen sink drama but he seems to get it. He revels when he's told that he's God's gift to us and that Jesus loves him. He actually smiles at the declaration. Of late, his favorite song to sleep to is "Con te Partiro." When I stop playing the song after 6 repetitions, he would stand up and silently beg. What's in this song?

Speaking of dogs, I couldn't help but admire Vicky Morales several notches higher, with the dogged persistence she demonstrated covering the Liberal Party press conference at Club Filipino last night. Mar Roxas was admonishing "Vicky, masasagasaan ka" quite a number of times but relentless to get the soundbites, Vicky showed everyone that passion still rules a seasoned journalist like her. No let up. It was very humbling - an awarded broadcaster of her stature who has certainly paid her dues showing us how willing she was to lose her poise to get the news.
