Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

I'd love to read this book, so hopefully I can find one here in the Philippines. Surely I will be laughing in situations that is familiar to me, having been raised in a strict household as well. They would not call my Mom Tiger Lorns for nothing.

Bored = Corned Beef Sandwich

I'm officially bored. I have updated every sites that I have, I have been posting to this blog almost everyday and I could not think of anything else to do while I am resting from my operation. I think today I have regained my appetite after several days of soft diet, and by appetite I mean BIG, so tonight just like my normal night I am looking for something to eat. A pre-midnight snack, so now you know why I had gallstones at 28.Since this morning, I have been craving for Jollibee, because there is a new branch that opened today which is just 5 minutes walk from our house, but sadly, I can not push myself to go outside and walk, and what's the point of having it delivered if you want to see the opening of a new food chain branch? But then our pantry is empty, I do our groceries but since I was not fit for it in the last 7 days, I could not find something. So I went to Jollibee delivery website and selected the food I wanted to be delivered. And then I thought, they will ring

Tangled

I want to see you

The day I saw the LIGHT

I never thought I'd see this light After several back pain, stomach pain, trip to the toilet and trip to the doctors, I finally found out that I have gallstones. First of, how do you get stones in your gallbladder? doctors said they have 3 F's for this, female, fat and forty, so two checks for me but it'll be over 10 years before I'll be 40. And when that time comes, I'll be using Olay. LOL. Okay back to getting gallstones, if you eat too much salty and fatty food and of course hereditary. So yes, my Dad had an operation because of gallstones as well as my uncle, aunt and a cousin whose stones were detected earlier so he doesn't need to go through an operation. Plus I have my own guilty feeling about fatty food. As the day gets nearer to my schedule of operation, I pray that I will not feel a thing once I am in the operating room, because the thought of going in to the operating room, pulls my blood pressure to the line, all the more the sight of it. True enough

ARTS -ING

Everyday when I sat in front of my computer I have the view of my not so tidy bookshelf (it's the hardest part of the house to be kept clean-just to defend myself). I have the classics, chic lits, teens novel, from Steve Berry to Dan Brown, Ludlum to Clancy, I didn't realized it that these books are all fictions not until I bought ... Art History for the Dummies. You might be laughing but this is the most educational book I ever purchased well, next to Hamilton's Mythology which I bought because I need it not because I wanted to. The dummy book made me look back Art Appreciation subject back when I was still in College and happy to know I still remember some of it. The book made me appreciate more the styles and artist that invented the styles and buildings that we know today. I must admit I felt smarter knowing this things too. LOL. Now I must leave the cyber world first and will be taken back in time with Leonardo, Rafael, Donatello and Michaelangelo, not the turtles.

Sissey

When your sibling is one and only, you've got no choice but to get along well, thank heavens they gave me no choice, because I don't mind having one and only sister as long as it's my Ate Min. It'll be another couple of years before I see her. Taken back in 2002 the first time she visited Philippines after 5 years in UK 8 years later, Same room, same time (we just woke up) Still as close, but bigger. LOL!
