After some trife news about Filipinas fighting over a corpse, now here's something from our Vietnamese neighbors. Apparently, a mother poured hot oil on her model-daughter's face. TRIFE.Vo Thi Thu Tram, a 22 years-old model from Vietnam (see photo), was severely disfigured after her mother poured hot oil on her face. The incident left the daughter disfigured. The mother committed the act because she felt spurned. *EH*
The 49 years-old Pham Thi Hanh, AKA "The Death Mom" (i totally just made that part up... ahaha), was totally arrested in the southern metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City shortly after tipping a cooking pot of hot vegetable oil over her sleeping daughter's face. Tram was in bed alone in her apartment at the time of the attack.
According to the city's police newspaper, the hot-oil-mama told police that her actions were caused by anger over her daughter ignoring her once she married a foreigner, and eventually becoming rich from her catwalk jobs. A doctor at the Cho Ray hospital, where Tram was being treated, said her face was completely burned from the attack. "This will almost certainly put an end to her modelling career," the doctor said.
Hanh told police that she had worked as a street scavenger to support her daughter while she was growing up. She, in turn, felt rejected by the lack of care Tram had shown her in return, according to the Tien Phong newspaper. In the bid to bring her daughter back into the family fold (so they could all live together again), Hanh decided to destroy her beautiful face, the daily added.
OK ---so this is totally TRIFE. And of all people to do this, it was the poor b*tch's MOTHER! Now you KNOW that Buddha is gonna strike that mother down for that one. No matter what happens, you just don't do that. You don't cut-out something from someone at the expense of their health or physical being. That is just TRIFE! What's goin' on with our sistas in Southeast Asia? Repression?! WHAT?! Please fix this, NOW!
TRIFE BITCHES. 25-Jun-2003
Apparently, the "other" woman went to the wake with about 20 armed military men in "full battle gear." The party arrived at the wake, which was held on Cristobal Street in the Madrigal Compound in Paco at about 9PM. She introduced herself as the wife of the deceased, Sergeant Julian Estrada. Estrada was a member of the Philippine Marines.
The allegedly "real" wife, Patricia Estrada, was shocked to hear who the woman was. She was even more shocked to have been told that her husband was actually married to another woman during their 24-year nuptial. It's said that the fight took place with the two women tearfully tugging at the coffin. In the end, it was the "other woman" who prevailed, only because of the help of her renegade Marines.
It's been said that a "kidnapping file" was to be made, but it was rebutted when they stated that such a file cannot be made for the deceased. There is no known whereabouts of the "other woman" or the corpse.
Personally, I believe that this goes to show how TRIFE some of our own Filipinos can be; even our women. Sometimes, people can go about their business with NO class whatsoever. This is just an example of that. To that woman who stole the corpse in such poor taste, I say - "You is gonna get yours!" Condolences to the "real" wife. And to the soul of the man who did them both wrong?! Emmm - he knows HE AIN'T RITE! Let's just hope that this trifeness doesn't continue among our people back in the Rice Lands. You got people killing people cause they suck at karaoke� You got an impeached loser-of-a-president� and now you have two women fighting over a f*cking dead corpse. All this and a Miss Universe contestant who's national costume resembled a freaking pineapple - or pinya. Now that, my friends, is TRIFE.
ESTA LOCA!!@! 19-Jun-2003
Apparently, the conversation was aired by the Spanish-language station, El Zol 95.7. Incidentally, the same radio station staged a similar prank on Hugo Chavez earlier this year, having the Venezuelan believe that he was indeed in conversation with his Cuban counterpart.
In the prank against Castro, the fake-me-out Chavez sought help from the Cuban dictator in locating a suitcase that contained "secret" documents which he said he had lost during the leaders' recent trip to Argentina. According to a report off Yahoo! News, another personality, posing as a Chavez aide, asked Castro: "Do you agree with the shit on the island, murderer?" Then he went on to say, "You fell for it�the whole of Miami is listening to you, Fidel Castro."
In retaliation, the Cuban leader said, among other things, "What did I fall for, you shit?!" He went further to add other crude expressions, including references to the anatomy of the host's mother. "He used very obscene words the president of a country should never use," said the radio host.
How hilarious was that?! It was pretty much mean, and un-called for, tho. BUT you have to admit that Castro probably had it coming to him. That's nothing compared to what he has done to others in the past. Payback is yet to hit his shores, I'm sure. This prank call was merely to "test the waters." Did you know that Miami is home to about 700,000 Cuban exiles? Cubans and Cuban Americans alike make the southern Florida city "home." Incidentally, many of them staunchly oppose Castro's communist government. BoOyA!
OH, CLAUDINE... 11-Jun-2003
First if all, let me just tell you that Claudine Baretto is an actress in the Philippines. She started as a child star, and made her way through showbiz as a certifiable actress. Of all the Baretto sisters, she's probably the most bankable; the actress that everyone loves to hate.
The poor girl has had her share of the limelight, both good and bad. As a child she was adored with her AngTV co-stars like Roselle Nava, Jolina Magdangal, and Gio Alvarez. As a teeny-bopper, she was just one of the cool kids along with her fellow actors like Mark Anthony Fernandez and Judy Ann Santos. And now, she's practically a drama QUEEN in EVERY sense of the word. (on and off screen - LOL) She can't sing worth shit, but she can act. She's also known for having a temper... for being a primadonna... and for being equally sweet. Truth? Who knows. I'll probably never know. The closest thing I'll ever have to Claudine Baretto is that we both have our roots in Zambales province in Luzon. My family hails from the town of San Marcelino, while her family hails from the neighboring town of San Felipe. And I think the Baretto CLAN has family in Subic, Zambales - where a town bears their family name.
ANYWAY. I got a clip of her through e-mail recently. Claudine was co-hosting on ABS-CBN's Sunday variety show, ASAP, which she's done on and off for YEARS now. She was walking down some steps, and she was talking to the audience about something... then she FALLS! And as she falls she goes, "Ay putang ina..." If you're a Filipino in-the-know, then you know what she said. Then she tries to brush it off afterwards saying, "Sorry!" HOW embarrassing is that?! ASAP is a total family-oriented show, and for her to make that blunder, and say that phrase, was just TOO trife. Poor Claudine...
According to an article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, two women fought over the corpse of the man they supposedly "both" married. The scuffle happened this past Monday, and created a scene as one of the women basically "snatched" the body along with the coffin from the wake. The wake took place in Paco, a district of Manila.
The world just can't get any meaner now, can it? Well, on a more-funnier-than-mean note, some Miami DJs totally played a mean-ass prank on Cuba's very own Fidel Castro. The talk show hosts called Castro, and had him engaged in a conversation with whom he thought was his Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chavez.
OK. So this might be news to some of you, but for others it could mean nothing. I don't even know if any of you people who read this know who Claudine Baretto is, but whatever. This might even be some old news, but I thought it was freakin' hilarious to mention here.
