I lost in the Pumpkin Carving Competition, yeah it’s sad but I’m still happy and proud of my pumpkin. I’m going to submit it to extremepumpkins.com.
My Ms. Universe costume plan didn’t pan out. As it turns out, my long evening dress doesn’t fit. There’s a 2-inch gap in the zipper!!! Neither did Arwen of LOTR. [...]

Last night was pretty spontaneous.
I started making some really sour and spicy sinigang because I was feeling a bit cold but hubby came home and pulled me out of the kitchen, convincing me to abandon my pork friends in the pot of half-done sinigang and brought me to Walmart. It’s our favorite store for household supplies now though hubby hates [...]

“A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.” -Old Rose, “Titanic”
I had a stange dream last night.
It’s about an old flame…an old friendship that had a lot of potential for romance but never blossomed into anything more. Yes, it pretty much tiptoed on thin ice at different points in our lives (think YEARS in between those sporadic tendencies) [...]

-written yesterday at Coffee, anyone?-
It’s Monday.
I pressed the snooze twice on hubby’s ancient Sony clock radio. Hubby always rises half an hour before I do and he willingly– or mercilessly?– resets the alarm to my waking up time. Could it be a form of torture? An indirect way of plotting his revenge at me for hogging the [...]

Fairly recently, I got bored and dipped the other end of my pen on my leftover coffee and drew some lines on scratch paper.
That was one of those face-flushing, blood-rushing, heart-thumping, lightbulb aka EUREKA! moments for me. I brought my paintbrushes to work the next day and started painting with coffee on the 5×7 sketchbook I have [...]

The year flew by me like an F-16 breaking the sound barrier and I felt the sonic boom today! Well, Halloween is just around the corner and I’m stressed out because I haven’t gotten my ideas together for the Pumpkin Carving Competition at hubby’s workplace, which I won last year. That was simple and easy, almost elementary. But [...]

The baby shower was a huge success!
There was a lot of cooking and and prep time involved on Friday night and Saturday morning. My sister and two cousins slept over to get the place and our props ready and we stayed up until 4am! A tough feat to do since the baby shower was set [...]

The “klutz” factor runs in my family.
You won’t be able to imagine how much time, money and emotions we’ve spent on appliance replacements, furniture repairs especially back in the Philippines where warranties don’t pour as easy as here in the USA. Especially the girls in the family, we’re all Calamity Janes reincarnated. Cute clumsy girls out [...]

My stepdaughter came up here for a short visit last weekend. We flew her in so she could help warm up our new house and feel like she’s part of this new home even if she’s mostly away at her mom and stepdad’s down south.
Hubby was young when they had her and after that, both of them moved on [...]
