hopscotching through time

June 15, 2009

Today marks my 30th year.

People ask me how I feel. I feel great. I feel entitled — entitled to whatever life has to offer me. So god help you all.

Q and A

June 3, 2009

Una: Sa Tagalog, ano ang kinakain ng sharks? A. chicken B. fish C. baktin
Santino: Fish!
Una: Tama

The quiz mistress did a twirl and a jig every time the answer is right. The questions were all made-up and the options glaringly silly.

I intervened and ask: Sa History, sino ang pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas? And Una answered, puede english na lang. She knows Barack O’bama is the US president but if you ask her about the Philippine President, she won’t have a clue. Then she volunteered to do Jai-Ho.

counting those little things

Sometimes, life blows and it’s those really small things that make all the hardships bearable. And my list goes:

5. Steaming hot soup. Freshly made with lemon grass and ginger.

4. The 3-year old that loves me unconditionally with the breadth of his pudgy arms. And the 5-year old that looks up to me as her fashionista bestfriend and sister.

3. The toddler who thinks am the best cuddly toy in the world.

2. Cool and Downy-smelling linens.

1. Dishwashing liquid.

How does yours go?

pet peeves

5. Shoe-marks on toilet bowl seats. Very prevalent in our office. I often wish their Jimmy Choos would slip and land them in the putrid depths.

4. Flying cockroaches. They make my skin crawl and unfortunately they are attracted to me.

3. Faberge cologne. Oh please stay away from me. And yes, even when I am not pregnant.

2. PDA. Not the gadget. Yes, we get it - she’s hot and you are too and you can’t keep your limbs from each other so go get yourself a room.

1. People who have no right to be anywhere near a computer. Compound the disaster by adding Internet connection in the equation. The result — spam, chain emails and viruses.
