These skeletons are getting tiring....
My weekend started early. Unexpectedly Friday was a holiday in Quezon City. Since my office was located in QC, I had a holiday. But I still friggin worked!
Bunny called and invited Thad and me to dinner at People's Palace in Greenbelt. Her cousin Trisha flew in from SF with her boyfriend. They're suppose to attend Trisha's Dad birthday party on Sunday. At the same time, Chris, her yummy Chinese American BF is suppose to ask her hand in marriage. Chris is yummy. And I'm not the only person who thinks so. Dan, who was at the next table, thinks so. Lol.
After dinner, I went over to Synder to join Malvin's birthday bash. I brought Jing and May next door to Bed. I stayed over because the gang's all there! Besides, I wanted to flirt and there was no one passable at Malvin's bash. Got drunk, forgot to pay my bill and had a cholesterol laden snack at Silya.
Saturday was more of the same. Bed with Thad but he left early. Bed was packed. Had a couple of beers and left for Tribu to have some sex. I forgot to pay my bill again! I gotta give the money to DocTony when I meet up with him this Tuesday. Kakahiya! Lol.
My sister forwarded a text from my bro last night that made my blood boil. "Wife will bring my daughter to the Tita Mila's house yet she can't bring her to Mom's house next door to visit Mom. I need a girlfriend!" Yes, my dear bro. Your sister and I will find you a girlfriend so you can leave that bitch of a wife that you have. She does not deserve you. (sorry for the rant, couldn't help myself)
This is what greeted me today at Cocktales, Vic Agustin's column at the Inquirer. And its getting a bit tiring. This guy never stops! What can you expect from a gay business gossip columnist? Lol. This time, at least, he's got his facts right. Lol. I wonder which of my adorable, fucked up cousins managed to correct Ms. este Mr. Agustin's facts on Mercedes Teehankee? I'm glad I'm out of it. Lol.
Victoria, meet Catilina
TOP corporate lawyer and newly minted billionaire Victoria delos Reyes was a no-show in Friday's probate hearing for the will of her aunt, Pacita Ongsiako delos Reyes-Phillips, despite the lawyer having instituted the petition and being named heir and executrix of the fabulous fortune.
Instead, her lawyers from Accralaw spent the entire session questioning the appointment of Vicente Chuidian, the counsel of the widowed US-based husband now claiming his conjugal half of the multibillion-peso estate.
Exasperated by the delaying tactics of his pañ'eros, the Ateneo-educated Chuidian could not help but blurt out the opening lines of Cicero's First Oration:
"Que asque tandem abatere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eladet? Quiem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia?" ("When, O Catilina, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now?")
Hearing the peroration, even Makati RTC Judge Ma. Cristina Cornejo broke out into a wide grin, and forgot her being ticked off by Chuidian with his earlier suggestion that the judge, an admitted friend of the executrix, had been hasty in approving the will disinheriting the husband.
Chuidian even alleged that Delos Reyes flew to the United States and withdrew about $400,000 in a bank account that she co-owned with her aunt right after the billionaire former Miss Philippines passed away.
In addition, the executrix has allegedly disposed more three-dozen lots at the Manila Memorial Park that her aunt owned.
Delos Reyes claimed that her aunt left only about a P100-million estate; Chuidian, on the other hand, said his original estimate of P2-3 billion estate was "even conservative."
The hearing continues Sept. 16, with Chuidian still insisting that Delos Reyes appear on the witness stand.
Heard through the grapevine
THE RAMON Tambunting inheritance row is getting curiouser, if not messier.
In reaction to a Friday item here, a Tambunting relative claimed that Ramon's marriage with Mercedes Teehankee Rivera had been annulled, long before the billionaire passed away.
The "wife" is now claiming the conjugal half of the estate, the bulk of which is now under the control of Ramon's eldest (not youngest, as reported Friday) brother, Jose, and his son, Jose Jr.
