I'm very, very proud with what I did today. I can finally say I AM OVER YOU.
Now it's time to move on.
I just wanted to say that and take advantage of this awesome awesome feeling.

Who is Betty Go-Belmonte?
Kai and I rode the LRT 2 last weekend and passed by the Betty Go-Belmonte station... I asked Kai how odd the name of the station was, then she told me she knew who BGB was because of me... And I was like, "What?! I shared to you who she was?" Apparently, I sent an email about BGB to our chorale yahoogroups about 2 years ago and I obviously didn't remember it, so I searched for that message in my gmail. When I read it, it sounded really funny and informative, so I decided to share it with you guys. =)

Hahaha. I suddenly got curious when i saw Chin's (aka Betty Go-Belmonte) So I decided to search about her in Yahoo and find out WHY a station is named after her.. Here's what i found. hehe
- http://qrs-complex.blogspot.com/2005/07/betty-go-belmonte-station.html <-- this site has an entry about BGB, cute nga entry niya eh.. hehehe:)
- BGB is actually the founding chairman of Philippine Star. O ha? Hindi lang siya station, chairman pa siya! Woo! (http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14356 )
- http://drmkng.blogspot.com/2005/10/roads-less-traveled.html <--- another blog that talked about BGB. cute... we can surely relate :D
- She has also been the editor of the PHILIPPINES YEARBOOK. (http://www.newsflash.org/2002/11/hl/hl016995.htm)
- She is also the FIRST FILIPINA Newspaper Publisher of a National Daily... Talk about GIRL POWER!! ( http://philamlink.com/PhilAMlink/filipina_firsts3.htm)
- BETTY-GO BELMONTEUmm... It was named after the wife of Mayor Belmonte? What else can I say? It's a dead station (http://www.livejournal.com/users/bitchgod/ ) ... So hindi tayo nag-iisa. We are not the only ones wondering WHO BGB is. :) This site also has nice insights of the stations. hehe :)
- "Betty Go-Belmonte. Although most of this area is residential, you could while an afternoon away sampling the delicacies at Green Eggs and Blue Bacon and viewing the exhibits at Boston Gallery." ( http://homepage.mac.com/gabemercado/blogwavestudio/) <-- I've actually heard of Green Eggs and Blue Bacon and they say that it's a good cafe.. :) hehehe.
- Betty Go was married to Sonny Belmonte, (former or current) mayor of Quezon City.As quoted: "He was married to the late Betty Go Belmonte, a devout and virtuous wife, mother, friend, businesswoman and a model Christian." ( http://beta.inq7.net/viewpoints/index.php?index=2&story_id=46174&col=69)
Well, that's all i found, although they are a lot na. hehe. Some trivia from a bored lady!!!
Puede ko pala maging idol si BGB. Astig siya. :)
