      &lt;p&gt;This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of &lt;a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=7113867'&gt;Walgreens&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a rel='nofollow' href='http://izea.in/r3HZ'&gt;SocialSpark&lt;/a&gt;. All opinions are 100% mine.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	 &lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	Commodity nowadays seems to be overly beyond affordable. The prices of whether goods or services are rapidly and uncontrollably increasing day by day. That goes the same with health and medication expense.  When before getting sick was expensive, now it is more expensive, a lot more. Daily expenses on medicines will truly ditch your wallet, not to mention the daily fees for a hospital room when confined. Sum all those amounts; let us say for five days confinement, you’ll get a huge number on your total hospital bill. But if you have a health prescription, you can save a lot off your hospital bills, including the medicines.  &lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	 &lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	Since ailment is inevitable, everyone must be ready for it. One must get health prescription. &lt;a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=20879&amp;amp;oid=7113867'&gt;Walgreens Prescription Savings Club&lt;/a&gt; offers a special discount on your annual membership. You can get an individual membership for $5 and a family membership for $10 per year. I find family membership a better option because it covers your spouse, your children of up to 22 years old and pets. Other benefits you can get from Walgreens Savings Club prescription include savings on more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medications on flu shots, nebulizers, diabetic supplies and even on pet prescriptions. You can as well get bonuses from purchasing Walgreens brand products and photofinishing services. You should prescribe now for your entire family. Stay updated with Walgreens latest deals by being a fan of &lt;a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=20883&amp;amp;oid=7113867'&gt;Walgreens on Facebook&lt;/a&gt; and a follower of  &lt;a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=20881&amp;amp;oid=7113867'&gt;Walgreens on Twitter&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

Thank God! Octagon called me today afternoon was I was still asleep for I slept late yesterday from attending a friend's birthday. Knowing it was Octagon that called, I went to the computer shop right away to pick my CPU. Good thing I didn't need to pay for the repair because it is still under warranty. I forgot about it. It saved me some pesos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yQohyMLn5b0/TyAE1WYCQtI/AAAAAAAAIZg/9HK1rD2b12E/s1600/11010562.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yQohyMLn5b0/TyAE1WYCQtI/AAAAAAAAIZg/9HK1rD2b12E/s400/11010562.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I checked on my saved files right away when I arrived at my apartment with the CPU and glad all my files are still there, including the blog layouts I designed in Power Point. Now I can continue working on the job I left hanging. There are blog designing jobs that I need to finalize and articles I need to publish. I am running out of time since deadline is fast approaching. It means I'll be a busy bee again tonight.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1794832278634400394-5633682431382255050?l=chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~4/2flnYy_ZtsY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~3/2flnYy_ZtsY/my-cpu-is-back.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chie_Wilks)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yQohyMLn5b0/TyAE1WYCQtI/AAAAAAAAIZg/9HK1rD2b12E/s72-c/11010562.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-cpu-is-back.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794832278634400394.post-7681488715621923906</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-24T18:11:02.033+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">women thing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">wedding stuffs</category><title>White Flash Engagement Rings</title><description>Who doesn't long to have even a tiny piece of diamond on jewelry? Women will never raise hands to that question. I myself admit I long for it but because it is expensive, I’ll just prefer to keep longing. For sure you've already heard the popular line "a woman's best friend" when talking about diamonds. Well, you can’t blame us women because diamonds bring not only class and luxury to our look when worn but also it adds beauty and elegance to every piece of metal we are wearing whether it is a ring, an earring or a pendant. Have you seen the collection of &lt;a href="http://www.whiteflash.com/diamond-pendants/"&gt;custom diamond pendants&lt;/a&gt; in White Flash? Never in my life I’ve had worn a diamond pendant and looking their collection only made me drool. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCjNmpAm5rY/Tx5ZPrtn0iI/AAAAAAAAIYw/lAkV7AgOv4k/s1600/diamondpendant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCjNmpAm5rY/Tx5ZPrtn0iI/AAAAAAAAIYw/lAkV7AgOv4k/s1600/diamondpendant.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Because diamonds are precious, they are obviously expensive that they are mostly worn by celebrities and other people who are well-off. It may not be the most expensive gemstone there is as some said the most expensive are the rarest ones but I believe it is the most famous among other gemstones especially when it comes to jewelry and accessory making. It is what most jewelry makers prefer to use to adorn the precious white, rose and yellow gold metals because of its hardness forming into beautiful engagement rings and other forms of jewelry. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fuwp10wERpo/Tx5ZRMEfPVI/AAAAAAAAIY4/vHbnsQvZKcg/s1600/wedding+set.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fuwp10wERpo/Tx5ZRMEfPVI/AAAAAAAAIY4/vHbnsQvZKcg/s1600/wedding+set.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking of engagement rings, diamonds are known to be famous when it comes to making the said rings. An engagement ring wouldn't be an engagement ring without diamonds. As earlier noticed, diamonds bring beauty and elegance and that applies to an engagement ring. Check out the sophisticated styles of &lt;a href="http://www.whiteflash.com/"&gt;houston diamond engagement rings&lt;/a&gt; at White Flash, one of the trusted jewelry shops where you can &lt;a href="http://www.whiteflash.com/diamond-engagement-rings/"&gt;buy diamond rings online&lt;/a&gt;.

Obviously I am still awake at this very moment. I have been a busy bee since yesterday...and until today. For the first time, I am loaded with a lot of writing jobs. For me who haven't been blessed with more than three writing jobs a day, I can say "a lot" for it's not just two or three but eight jobs with reasonable compensation, even more reasonable for my writing skill. I am too overwhelmed with it. I do hope though that all eight articles will be approved. I am not boasting here nor complaining, I am liking it actually. I am liking this reason of being a busy bee for it means getting a living. If only it could be like this everyday, I would gladly accept. Thank God!&lt;br /&gt;

Filomena Parish Church. Many of the family, relatives and friends came along to support the family of the deceased in that very moment of vain. The moment when they could only do a final glance at their beloved who couldn't be with them anymore physically. Although many would utter soothing words to calm the raging painful emotions of the family, still it is unacceptable that the person you most love have already left the world and couldn't be seen, couldn't be touched anymore. Seeing my aunt and her children crying as the worker finally covered the grave was very heartbreaking. It was too painful I know. At this time when the pain of being left by a loved-one is still fresh, it's hard for them to accept that they could no longer see him walking, talking, laughing but I know they'll forget the pain eventually and all that they can remember are the happy memories. &lt;br /&gt;

This picture actually was taken before I did those things.Thanks to Pabz for making me look tall and skinny in this picture.&amp;nbsp;I modeled this red bike which is temporarily mine. A friend borrowed money from me in exchange to this bike, a smart exchange for the money I lend to. Anyway, the reason why I was in the boulevard early that morning was to buy &lt;i&gt;balot&lt;/i&gt; as I was craving for it and then to do some walking. I did buy balot but I didn't do the walking.

I was upstairs just woke and was about to come down when I heard it. I hurried downstairs and to bathroom only to find out that the mud fish scared her. It was alive and wiggling on the &lt;a href="http://www.tileclick.co.uk/"&gt;Bathroom Floor Tiles&lt;/a&gt;. I got my eyebrows raised with confusion. Fish in not something that scares my sister. But what really scared her is that she didn't know it was there in the bathroom.&amp;nbsp;She was peeing when suddenly slippery thing moving at her foot and at her glance, she thought it was a snake.&amp;nbsp;How the heck it got itself there anyway? I knew there was one alive mud fish left from the ten mud fish father's friend gave to him but I didn't know he put it in a bucket in the bathroom. It must have managed to jump off the bucket for some bathroom exploration. Lol! Cheem got too scared that she fell her butt down the toilet bowl. That was ridiculous! She was the laughing stock that day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1794832278634400394-371229569236056752?l=chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~4/6y1xcndSWmA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~3/6y1xcndSWmA/mud-fish-scare.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chie_Wilks)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nFO4PG2-6m4/TxA1XJF-BjI/AAAAAAAAIXQ/aQtHmACBfGo/s72-c/383205_2960621815485_1259758418_33216534_360177703_n.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com/2012/01/mud-fish-scare.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794832278634400394.post-4201474650324392657</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-14T01:01:53.241+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">blog photo challenge</category><title>12/366 BPC - Christmas Gifts Under the Tree</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iKF0uVeIVCk/Tw8-LmmKM1I/AAAAAAAAIXI/xGa5hJeFEXo/s1600/DSC02190.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="348" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iKF0uVeIVCk/Tw8-LmmKM1I/AAAAAAAAIXI/xGa5hJeFEXo/s400/DSC02190.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As a continuation to the photo of me hugging the impostor giant snowman, here's another photo taken still in the man-made land of USA in the Dipolog City boulevard. This time, I was opening (trying to) the gifts&amp;nbsp;Santa&amp;nbsp;dropped under a tree not far away from the snowman. The trembling rain shower didn't stop me from opening the first gift only to find out it was properly wrapped. I gave up and decided to buy balut instead.

It's an impostor! Lol! It's only made of wood, the skeleton or frame, formed into a make-believe snowman covered with white cloth. This giant snowman was one of the amusements in the boulevard. It voluntarily bounced from the USA, its hat can tell, to Dipolog City to give amusement to the by-passers,visitors and chillers at the boulevard. I was fortunate enough to be able to hug it one early morning while I was there to buy &lt;i&gt;balut&lt;/i&gt;. At such a short moment, I felt like I was in the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;

Credit to my friend for taking this picture of me with my father on my 25th birthday. It is very seldom to see him in pictures with us as he doesn't like camera flash that much. My birthday went just fine even though my mother and brother weren't able to come over and celebrate it. My father, sisters and friends made my birthday celebration fun at least.&lt;br /&gt;

These are the Christmas gifts that my sister and I helped getting and wrapping for our parents, brother and the kids in the house after celebrating &lt;a href="http://www.chie101.info/2012/01/08/i-am-25-years-old/"&gt;my little birthday party&lt;/a&gt; at my apartment in Dipolog City. We brought these gifts on the afternoon of the 25th since we didn't able to come home on the Christmas Eve. So the opening of gifts happened on the night of December 25, still Christmas. I enjoyed looking at the recipients excited faces as they opened their gifts. I wrapped Unisilver watches for father, brother and sisters and a Secosana bag for my mother. It was nice looking at their happy faces to have at least received a gift on Christmas. I was able to open gifts that night too. I received a Bobson top from Cheep and a pair of Unisilver butterfly earrings from Cheem. We&amp;nbsp;didn't&amp;nbsp;wrap gifts this year for all my godchildren for I did not have the money for it. It was sad but the current financial situation couldn't be helped. We didn't even have a Christmas preparation, which was alright. At least we all were able to be together on Christmas day.&lt;br /&gt;

Online work kept me occupied since early morning yesterday. I was blogging, clicking ptc ads, and writing sponsored posts while listening to some metal, rock music...and oh, while sipping few cups of coffee.

I am glad I checked out the latest updates in Bisdak Blogger group in Facebook where the said blog photo challenge was posted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am catching up. The challenge is now on its third day. My share today would be this picture below:&lt;br /&gt;

Montaño Ginisang Bagoong and green mango are perfect mate. My friend Pabz got me a bottle of Ginisang Bagoong fom Montaño. Thank you Pabz!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;_____&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;To complete the challenge, I posted another photos for day 1 and day 2 of the blog photo challenge. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;The photos below were taken on the New Year's Eve.&lt;br /&gt;

This is a very late blog post entry to claim my prize - a page rank shirt to Gagay's contest. I am so sorry for I've been very busy going out and about last December not to mention the busy preparations for the special occasions I've celebrated during that month. There were two birthdays (mine and my youngest sister's) to prepare, the Christmas eve, alumni homecoming and New Year. Last month/year was pretty a busy month for me so I hope I could still get a chance to claim my consolation prize, which is a medium &lt;a href="http://gagaymd.com/2011/12/page-rank-shirt-winners.html#comment-12468"&gt;Page Rank 2 Shirt&lt;/a&gt;.

That long. It's that long I stayed in the lazy lane, lazy for writing or just simply couldn't make time for blogging due to partying every night with friends. The right term would be I've been partying every night with friends that when I get home, I am tired and would just sleep all day leaving me no time to blog. It needs to stop, the partying!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.diaryofane.com/"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s71/ane_fallarme/Blog%20Photos/wbfcbutton125.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I badly needed to get back to blogging for I missed a lot of activities online. One is the &lt;a href="http://www.diaryofane.com/2011/12/wbfcs-new-host/"&gt;Weekend Blog Follower Caravan&lt;/a&gt;. If I didn't religiously adgitize earlier today, I wouldn't know that this blogger caravan from MommyRubz is no under its new host and on its second week already. It is now under the care of Ane, the blogger behind &lt;a href="http://www.diaryofane.com/"&gt;Life According to Me&lt;/a&gt;. Congrats Ane!&lt;br /&gt;

Most of them are educational and teaches young kids different skills that they can use in real life situations. One of the most popular simulation games are &lt;a href="http://www.cookinggameforgirls.org/"&gt;cooking games&lt;/a&gt; that got every young girl talking. Do they learn anything from these games at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Young girls are fond of dolls and any activity that their moms usually do. Maybe you have seen your kid looking at you when you cook, and this means they are interested in what you are doing. An early start in the kitchen world is crucial to spark their interest. But the kitchen is not really a safe place for kids. Online cooking games (like &lt;a href="http://www.dressupmybarbie.com/games/cooking-games/"&gt;Barbie cooking games&lt;/a&gt;) are the safest most realistic way to prepare your child in the world of cooking minus the hazards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recipes found in online cooking games are based on actual recipes that will therefore imprint these ideas in their minds. When the time comes when they will be allowed to prepare meals in the kitchen, they might try out what they have learned from the game.&lt;br /&gt;
Creativity is another important aspect that a child can learn from these games. Although there are recipes, they are on their own when they decorate their meals. This is especially fun when they decorate their own desserts like cakes and banana splits. Their imagination is the limit of these games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The games also warn them of the possible dangers of the kitchen. They show them how to properly hold a knife, the use of pot holders when something is boiling and how to properly peel fruits and onions. These basic kitchen safety and etiquette are simulated while playing the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These computer games are safe and educational. From the factual references to recipes up, creativity and cooking safety, the basics can be learned by simply clicking the button. These games would be more educational if parents will be able to guide them throughout the entire playing time. Educate your child early and she could probably be a great chef one day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1794832278634400394-6009264583821963469?l=chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~4/sLY2LtOCvFQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~3/sLY2LtOCvFQ/what-children-can-learn-from-cooking.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chie_Wilks)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-children-can-learn-from-cooking.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794832278634400394.post-6412719525436588313</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-29T01:18:15.961+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">friends</category><title>Snug Hours in Fat Cat</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WNPVw8O50Hk/TtO7ViB4PPI/AAAAAAAAIPQ/7L-i50aChms/s1600/DSC08471.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WNPVw8O50Hk/TtO7ViB4PPI/AAAAAAAAIPQ/7L-i50aChms/s400/DSC08471.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Boracay that is heady enough to make me walk crisscross plus sisig to munch on plus music that could get me off my chair plus cool friends equals a perfect night out for me. Above is a jag of Boracay mix drink served at Fat Car disco bar. That's P150.00 per jag. Their sisig? Dang, I forgot how much!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XgXG7k5lNac/TtO7c5DgVRI/AAAAAAAAIPY/oKLxVf_XaKI/s1600/DSC08491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XgXG7k5lNac/TtO7c5DgVRI/AAAAAAAAIPY/oKLxVf_XaKI/s400/DSC08491.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Arriving early at Fat Cat, we had the entire dance floor for ourselves. Notice the blue jag cover.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F4nhIAE42JE/TtO7lCAsI4I/AAAAAAAAIPg/qpAmjfPFdg4/s1600/DSC08511.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F4nhIAE42JE/TtO7lCAsI4I/AAAAAAAAIPg/qpAmjfPFdg4/s400/DSC08511.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Then came 11:00 or 12:00 midnight to dawn, Fat Cat was then in chaos. It was packed with party goers old and young and we were all in sweat even when we remain seated. It was chaos but fun! If you are a frequent goer in Fat Cat, you already know that during those hours on Fridays and Saturdays are SNUG hours. That's actually what party goers love in Fat Cat - the snug dancing. With the many people inside that disco box, you'll end up dancing with strangers leaving only a snug space between you and sometimes, no space at all!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I didn't believe the first time I saw it uploaded by one of my friends (which the friend got from a random website) in Facebook. How come the mugshots taken in a hospital? Or was she?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MgQ39xup2WU/Ts0Hj-RU_hI/AAAAAAAAIN4/STAXHawAPj8/s200/gloria+arroyo+mugshot.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;photo not mine&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are two&amp;nbsp;conflicting&amp;nbsp;statements I had read just a while ago in an article regarding the above mugshots of GMA. One party said the above photos are the real mugshots while the other denied. There is even another fraud mugshots of hers that came out. You can see and read the whole article &lt;a href="http://manila-paper.net/gloria-arroyo-gma-mugshot-fingerprints-taken-today/18538"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Whatever the truth is, I found the former Philippine President in&amp;nbsp;these photos piteous. To pity her is all we can do. She has done a lot of wrongdoings in our country that she must pay.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1794832278634400394-4521501527659407578?l=chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~4/ZWs4NZzpKwU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChuchiesHideaway/~3/ZWs4NZzpKwU/gloria-arroyos-mugshots.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chie_Wilks)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MgQ39xup2WU/Ts0Hj-RU_hI/AAAAAAAAIN4/STAXHawAPj8/s72-c/gloria+arroyo+mugshot.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://chuchieshideaway.blogspot.com/2011/11/gloria-arroyos-mugshots.html</feedburner:origLink></item><language>en-us</language><media:rating>nonadult</media:rating></channel></rss>
