28 giugno How do you sleep? Things I missed most: Santol Noche buena (christmas eve party) Media noche (new year's eve party) Bibingka (christmas rice cakes) Green Mangoes (the sour type) Mommy's kare kare (oxtail and tripe in peanut sauce) Good night's sleep Stress free day College friends Friends lastly.... 02 maggio The Wedding-Finally Finally, finally, the wedding's set for tomorrow. No, no, no, it's not me, it's my friend's. I'm happy for her and I know she's been waiting for this to happen for years and it has come down to this, the walking on the aisle made true. I'm also thankful that she also gave me the liberty to choose the design for my gown, which i know i kept bugging her on the details and design. In spite of being busy with the prep, she also has the patience to spend time to see the details of my gown made perfect, (she took pity on me, when i reacted about the squid design, hehehe). Best wishes to Lilibeth and Anthony, this time the journey of your lives is about to start a new chapter. God bless your marriage and may you continue to have a fun and wonderful life together, filled with love, respect & laughter. Cheers!  05 aprile The Europe Thing Going to Europe is part of my dream. This is considered to be one in my list just before i kicked the bucket (hope it doesn't happen soon) I've been thinking about it again , but two things are holding me back: money (the main part) and company. a friend of mine who has the means and time might be coming along. However, deciding on what kind of trip we should take is also quite a challenge. Joining a package tour, is convenient, with all the arrangements already made, we just need to think of ourselves and its already enough. still being on a self tour can also be interesting cause we can find more time to explore the cities extensively based on our own time. i just dont want to spend that kind of money then have the feeling of "bitin". I hope it could happen this year or the next. I'm now planning on how to proceed this trip. God! now I'm kind of excited! 31 agosto McCain -Palin ....Hmmnnnn?Who would have thought? After indelibly pointing out that Obama was not fit enough for the role of head of a nation due to inexperience, McCain's team in dire need of an "Holy Cow" kind of publicity has chosen Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska to be his running mate. The first woman Republican vice presidential candidate and with no hands on work on national matters. A very brave and eyebrow raising move by the Reds , to which i will be anticipating the debate between the politically perceptive Biden and the sudden globally reknown Palin.
I just hope Palin should stop using the line that women should vote for her because she is a woman. Can't her advisers think of something else? An Overstated PromotionI haven't paid notice to the keynote address delivered by Obama in DNC 2004. This is the one that nailed his name in the map of Democrats or rather the world.
Never knew how profound the effect of those words until now. Reading the text as it flows to its final end has instigated a sort of strong faith in the unknown....Hope in the betterment of tomorrow.Through his words, I have somehow forgotten how invincible one feels when optimism resides in one's heart. Even far better , to be able to instill this in others and able to make a 180 degree turn in their lives is like holding a prized panacea for all pains and suffering.
Though I am not an American and am unable to vote, I pray that on the 4th of November 2008, the people of the United States of America will make the right choice. They are afterall the ones who have the right to choose who will lead their nation and also bring to the pedestal a man who can also change the state of the world.
A partial and over-recognized portion speech of Obama.....
Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America - there's the United States of America. The pundits, the pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. 09 agosto ReflectionTake a look and seat back, reflect on one's past deeds to make a better future.
Let's pray for a more peaceful nation and hope someday poverty will cease to exist. My utopia. 20 marzo Obama's PromiseObama's promise of change has taken America by storm. It has touched and moved the hearts of not only the US but also the world. Some may say he's a dreamer but believing in hope will spring eternal future. A star-studded video seen in youtube. "Yes, we can"
16 marzo Do you have to let it Linger?Totally dig this one by the Cranberries. Will never get tired of listening to this song.
Boracay ParadiseLove the art of photography but not an afficionado in the act itself. A terrible , terrible photographer to the point only strangers asked me take their pictures or friends who don't want to include me in the picture itself (heeheehee).
Boracay, Caticlan Philippines although commercialized to a disgrace, the pure shores has its enchanting allure. I loved my stay there. Though a bit pricey yet inspiring.
A few photos I've taken that managed to turn out almost decent.
Come & Sing the "Ken Lee" songSurely most of you have seen and heard this on youtube..... it's Karaoke time.....teeheehee

11 Signs that You're Crazy for Someone<<BORROWED FROM A FORWARDED EMAIL, DONT KNOW THE SOURCE BUT FINDS THIS ARTICLE INTERESTING... READ ON.. (Some personal comments on each line).
 >>ELEVEN:
You laugh at their stupid jokes [Guilty as charged] TEN: You feel shy whenever they are around. [Gee...] NINE: You smile when you hear their voice. [Like music] EIGHT: When you look at them, you can't see [Skip this one] the other people around you, you just see him/her. SIX: They're all you think about. [Not always, but most of the time] FI VE: You realize you're always smiling when [Smiling like a jerk] you're looking at them.

A debate goes on what are the up options. At first thought comes either expiring in your slumber or instantanious death thru an accident. However the thought of dying in your sleep might also be torture, being terrified to death is not exactly by definition, a bed of roses. As for the latter, probably crushed to death in a matter of minutes may also be equivalent to hours of suffering.
But a sure standout to exit this world and go into paradise would be nothing else than to die in exquisite pleasure (no pun intended).
So if you wished some assh*l to die, as someone I know said "Don't ever judge me for being cruel, cause at least i'd hoped that death comes thru feverous delish". Hmmnnn, that kind of generosity makes sense after all, don't you think?  20 gennaio Sunny Side of MelbourneDidn't check! Hours just before my flight to Melbourne, my companion called to inform me to change my luggage into summer clothes. Yup, it was a Sunny Summer of 39 deg Celsius in Down Under. We were kind of planning to surprise a friend there on our arrival that we failed to check with him about the weather there. Fortunately last minute calls were made otherwise I'll be in dire need of buying an entire wardrobe during my stay there cause I've only packed winter clothes.
What can I say about Melbourne:
It was a super clean and green city. The parks are nice and flowers everywhere. Especially the path going to Dandenong Ranges, it was nature's love written on it.
Aussies are nice and polite. Friendly and very hospitable.
Taiwan and Australia time difference is 3 hours (We're 3 hours advance).
Skies remain clear and bright until 8pm. Sometimes I lost track of time and forgets its already night.
Love Hungry Jacks burgers . I think it is called Burger King here. Their burgers are really tasty and juicy.
Peaches, man, they are really sweet and delicious. I would really love to take a crate home but discarded the idea cause Im worried that the customs might confiscate it.
Weather so unpredictable, day time can reach up to 40 deg and nights drops to 20 deg.
Stores close at 6pm. They close really early and being used to a city with stores opened until 11pm is quite a weird feeling for me.
Overall I can say my stay there is not what I expected. It was certainly unforgettable.
Thanks to the hospitality of Javier family who tirelessly showed us around during our entire stay. Hope you guys can drop by Taipei and we'll give you a taste of our stinking tofu.  25 dicembre How do I love theeBy Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 17 novembre Doggy Dog WorldAs I was about to leave the building, to my surprise a huge dog was resting like it is Palm Springs at the bottom of the stairs. Noticing that it has no collar, increased my fear of jumping over him (he was blocking the exit). I decided to wait awhile before going out, only to find out later he was still there. Fortunately he seems to be quite a nice mutt and didn't bit or growl when I passed by.  22 ottobre What's to talk aboutWatching the cartoon movie of "Curious George" makes me reflect on my life. Maybe some of you are familiar with this story of about a monkey in Africa that ended up in the States and together with Ted they've been into an adventure that has both opened their eyes the explicit wonders of simple moments in life.
This movie has used a song entitled "Talk of the Town" by Jack Johnson and i fell in love with its acoustic sound and meaning. It simply foretells that there's so much to talk about by looking at the beauty of nature and our surroundings. I somehow missed that kind of feeling of just looking at trees and having an inexplainable emotion of content just hearing the rustle of leaves and the smell of fresh leaves. Just taking time and cherishing each second without a hurry. Just being a kid and playing around without a care.
26 agosto When One Goes Choco-LocoIt's kind of weird when for the past few days I've got these cravings for chocolate in any form. The fact that I consider it uncanny is because I don't have a sweet tooth. Don't love sweets that much. I just find them too overpowering for my taste buds.
Maybe this strange reaction might be caused by reading on e of the recent MarketManila's post on Tagbilaran's sikwate (tsokolate tablea). It brought me nostalgic feelings during my childhood when my mom, for our breakfast would cook hot champorado (chocolate rice porridge) using cacao tablea. We used to swirl some evaporated milk on top and have our hot pandesal dipped in the heavenly consistency. Ahhh, that is heavenly and pure bliss. 25 agosto I'm So Pretty oh so pretty... Experimenting on different styles of make-up is a hobby of mine. There were times when the effect s really di d some wonders but also there were moments when its a disaster. Worse was when I thought I look amazing but got disconcerted when my friends saw me and expressed their concerns (comments such as "Girl, did you get some sleep last night, you look wasted") then I know it is not one of my best looker. I've learned from my mistakes and now I bother checking myself on natural light whenever I donned a new look cause believe me, light really does do tricks to one's eyes.
So remember to check out yourself several times , best with natural light when you had your face made up. You never knew who you might see looking back from the mirror . A "Heidi Klum" look or a clone of the bride of Frankenstein. 22 luglio Fun night at the Comedy BinlangLast July 7, CAPT (Chinese American Professionals in Taiwan ) organized a comedy club night at Cosmopolitan Grill. Starting with a buffet at 7:00pm and the show opens at 9pm. It was a great night with 7 performers including Rick Monday of ICRT (who I believe was more funnier in his radio show). For the most outstanding stand up comic, I guess it is hands down to Sammi Wu, who was the only lady performer with a great sense of attitude. She really knew how to deliver her lines and relate her humor to the audience efficiently.
For the price of NT$450 including buffet, it was well worth it. Hope they have more to follow. |
