The Benefits of Oregano

Oregano (Scientific name: Origanum vulgare) is also known as Wild Marjoram, Mountain Mint, Origanum, Wintersweet and Winter Marjoram.

A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the paper, you probably will never see it.

Tracey Connelley, Baby P's Evil Mom, Shows NO Remorse

I have never been affected by any story as much as Baby P's story has affected me. Yesterday evening, I found myself sobbing twice! I just can't get over the sheer horror of the story.

Baby P's Murderers -- Why Are They Being Protected?

In my country, it has never happened before that the media and the people have been forbidden to actually reveal the names and faces of TC and SB, the murderers of Baby P.

That Winter The Wind Blows Finale: Did Oh Soo Die?

Over the holy week break, I spent the entire four days just watching the 15 episodes of this Korean show. Yes, I am a self-confessed Korean drama addict. I already have my favorite actors and actresses; albeit, I don’t know their names.

"Ever The Same" (For Settie)


We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same

We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Hey, look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same

Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same

Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same(Ever the same)
Settie, I will always always be here for u.. u know that. love u.

Whimsy...


I miss these people -
1. Bobet and Pipo - for their crazy antics and for making me laugh a little bit more everytime I am with them.
2. Bessie - because I don't know any girl/woman/lady who is kinder than her.
3. Settie - because I just miss talking to her. We haven't been able to for a long time. Life doesn't allow it.
4. Tin and Che - because they are like old blankets, warm and familiar.
5. Balon - for his idealistic and almost naive views of women and virginity. (Wag kokontra!)
6. Rarye - because he has the most confusing yet seemingly sensible thoughts.

I miss a lot of people - those that are far, but mostly I am just missing them. It's funny how I am able to do so considering how busy I am.

the memoirs of a cow..no! a hippo..


I feel like a lumbering humongous cow.

Well, people kept telling me to “slow down”, “move slowly”, “act like a lady for God’s sake!” Well, that is because prior to this period where I have to move slow because I relatively have no choice, I was happily moving like I wasn’t carrying anything inside my stomach. Now, I feel like a cow that has to be craned to be able to move! Sometimes, Erbe has to literally pull me off the bed. Yeah, it’s not like I’m the only person who experiences the joys of pregnancy. *sigh. But sometimes, I feel like I have the worst of it. Remembering Sugar, she was damn pretty during her pregnancy, but I feel like an ugly hippopotamus. Yes, that’s it! More like of a hippopotamus than a cow. J

Never mind my ramblings though.

Pregnancy really amazes me though. Since Ikay is a girl, I realized I have a vagina inside me. I have two hearts, 4 lungs, 4 kidneys inside me! Sometimes, I looked at my stomach and be at awe by the fact that there is a tiny living person inside of me. Completely dependent on me.

And do you know what’s even more amazing? The fact that I love this person. Totally, completely love this little girl that I haven’t seen but I would give my life for. Isn’t that amazing???
