CROMWELL ST.

I had finished reading my third book, Hour Game by David Baldacci that is all about a serial killer who had killed because he wants to revenge for his twin’s misfortune. It was an exciting thrill of events and that made me want to read and discover more such stories.

And as I was watching the Discovery channel one Saturday night that was entitled “inside: crimes that shook the world”. It was about that Cromwell St. and that was so nerve-wracking. It was so heinous that it made me interested on discovering full details about it. As I typed the text “Cromwell St.” on the search engine, on a second the search was up.


1973 was a year for the Wests to celebrate. They walked away from Caroline Owens' rape and abduction charge with only a fine and they murdered Lynda Gough with no police repercussions at all. Then in August, their first son, Stephen, was born.

Emboldened by their success, they abducted fifteen-year-old Carol Ann Cooper in November and amused themselves with her sexually -- that is, until she outlived her entertainment value and was snuffed out by strangulation or suffocation, dismembered and buried. She joined the growing city of the dead at 25 Cromwell Street.
Industrious Fred, persistent in his home improvements, had enlarged the cellar and was demolishing the garage to build an extension to the main house. No matter that these improvements were done at very strange hours.
A little over a month later, university student Lucy Partington had gone home to her mother's house to spend the Christmas holiday. On December 27, she went to visit her disabled friend and left to catch a bus shortly after 10 P.M. She had the misfortune to meet up with Fred and Rose, who probably knocked her out and abducted her. Like Carol Ann Cooper, she was tortured for approximately a week and then murdered, dismembered and buried in Fred's construction projects. He cut himself while dismembering Lucy and had to go to the hospital for stitches on January 3, 1974. Lucy, like Carol Ann Cooper, was reported missing, but there was nothing to tie the two girls to the Wests. read more

Max's with Music Box

It was Friday afternoon when we decided to go bar hopping or somewhat find a place to stay away from home. We don’t wanna spend the night doing nothing at home because we have done it the whole week. We had dinner at Max’s Restaurant. It was a plateful of fried chicken, bitter gourd with beef and the so delicious kare-kare. It was years ago when I last tasted that scrumptious fried chicken because there was no Max’s Restaurant in Davao. It had Max’s but it was years ago when it closed. It was the first and the last time I ate at Max’s Davao. Good thing I had the opportunity to eat at Max’s once more. After the mouth-watering and stomach filling dinner we headed out way to Music Box comedy bar. There were gay men performers who excellently performed in front of the crowd. They had beautiful singing voice and they were so accommodating inviting us to sing on stage. Of course, I refused to do so because I was reticent. They were so amazingly funny that even my niece Kyla refused to go even though she’s sleepy. She had fun with that gay performer named chat cause she looked like Dora the Explorer that person who really performed at Dora Live. We laughed our hearts out and enjoyed the night. We took pictures and I am gonna post it as soon as we transferred the pictures from the Digicam to the computer. J

APRIL 22 - EARTH day

We’re celebrating Earth Day today—April 22! Maybe time for us to reflect on the sins we’ve caused abuse to mother earth. I know there are still people concerned. They still think of our environment’s condition (thank God!).

I have an this article on the Philippine Star yesterday which talked about “Green Death” I mean, things considered for a burial is made up of environment-friendly materials like cardboard as a coffin and clothes made up of plant fibers. They also don’t use formaldehyde to embalm the dead body instead, the use of refrigeration or dry ice is considered for the process. Weird? Yes, kind of. But it just shows that people may think of a better way than to stick on to the convention. Oh, I forgot to tell you that before using the coffin made up of cardboard, you should first consider the place of burial; I mean the soil where you are planning to bury the dead because obviously it’s not pleasant to see the coffin with a dead body collapse because it’s wet. Right? And if you’re thinking of the budget, like the usual burial, there are funeral parlors which are of high prices and also there are still which has reasonable prices.

I just hope those innovations would also be here in the Philippines cause it’s still at London. J Happy MOURNING! :-p

of becoming a BOOKWORM

A few days ago I started reading the book Digital Fortress by Dan Brown and I had finished it after reading it for two days with breaks. That was my 2^nd pocketbook ever read for almost 18 years since I was born next to “My Daughter’s struggle with Alcoholism” if I’m not mistaken with the title. It was strange for me finishing a book because from elementary through high school I haven’t finished even a single pocketbook knowing that in high school students are starting to be trained to love reading. Back then, I still haven’t finished any despite those book reviews. J I now realized that reading books isn’t boring at all, especially with those fictional and thrilling books. Now, I am starting my third pocketbook by David Baldacci entitled Hour Game—a serial killer whom they are trying to catch. Up to this time, I’m on my 15^th out of a 100 chapter and I am looking forward unto finishing it hopefully by tomorrow. J this is what boredome can result to—reading even though it isn’t my interest.

ice cream for a tooth

Damn! It was Saturday and i am going to meet the dentist nearby to have my teeth cleaned and to have tooth extracted. I didn’t expect it for me to experience such pain…such severe pain. It was my first time for both procedures so I don’t have any idea on how much pain it would cost me. I thought it would be painless because of the anesthesia they injected. But, I was wrong, really, wrong. It was truly painful, a whole lot painful than having my tongue and eyebrow pierced and if I would choose between having my tooth extracted and having a body pierce, I would surely love to choose the latter. This was the price I have to pay for not taking care of my teeth. Too bad it summed up in to extracting my teeth. And again, hopefully by next week another tooth will be taken out of its place and I’ll have to suffer such pain again…I just wish this tooth will disappear overnight so that I will not have to experience that pain once again! Too bad in reality it won’t really happen. L
