Rollercoaster Ride

Everybody's Fine – it's a good movie. It had me bawling from start to finish. Okay, not start – halfway through to finish.There was this scene after Robert de Niro's character almost got mugged, he was next shown calling someone up. I thought he was calling up one of his children. But the next scene made me cry.A shot of his home was shown with his phone ringing. And then the answering machine played with his wife's voice going, "Hello, we're...

Blogging

I should be sleeping. It's already past 3 in the morning. I have finished work for the day and I am exhausted. Unfortunately, my brain doesn't want to rest yet.I have rediscovered blogging as an outlet. And it's all because of two things – I blog directly from Microsoft Word – I love! I love!My twitter friends have been painfully absent.Anyway, I like this – blogging –just me and my thoughts and you, my readers – known and unknown. Whoever you are, thanks for reading. I don't care if you are here to stalk me, to stalk my friends or my husband....

2:23 AM

I am happy.I am at peace.Peace – it's something I do not lack of. It's something I have. I can go to sleep at night knowing that everything is well in my life. We may lack of some things, but after years of uncertainties and of roller coaster rides – peace is something that I will not exchange for anything in this world.With peace comes this knowledge that I am truly, truly loved. Not just loved, but unconditionally loved.by my parents,by my sister,by my friends,and most of all, by my husband.I am happy. And right now, inside me beats another...

And It's a WHAT?

I'm exhausted. I slept at 6 in the morning and woke up 3 hours after. For the life of me, I cannot go back to sleep. Anyway, we went to my OB this afternoon and we had an ultrasound. The doctor was a bit worried about the fact that I seem to have stopped gaining weight. I should be gaining weight because it means the baby is growing. Anyway, she seemed okay. Yes, she. :) It's a girl. And we're debating whether to name her Riley Patricia or...

On Death

If there is one thing that I am truly afraid of --its death. I often wonder how it feels to die. I often wonder if you even feel anything. I wonder if the struggle ends at some point or if we eventually give in to its calming embrace.I am afraid of dying. I am afraid of taking that last breath. I often wish that I'd die in my sleep. I don't care when, just that I die in my sleep.I am afraid of losing out on life because there is still so much more that I can do.My wish is that I'd one day be able to look at death, scoff at its face and say,...

I Feel Good!

Back in College, my friends and I used to sing this song a lot - it was our feel-good song. And hearing this tonight made me remember how fun it was to be giggling about boys and professors with lipstick on their teeth. :) Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of So good, so good, I got you Wo! I feel nice, like sugar and spice I feel nice, like sugar and spice So nice, so nice, I got you When I hold...

Agnostic

Agnostic – One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism (Online Dictionary).No, I am not agnostic and I am far from being an atheist. I do believe that there is God and that HE or SHE exists. I, however, am far from being a devout Christian or devote anything.I often joke about studying all religions. You know, being part Jew in some months and part Buddhist in another and part Muslim for the rest of the year. I figured that's the only way one can truly make the right decision when it comes to religion....

The Little Mermaid is a Spoiled Brat!

I have finally introduced Ariel to Paige. And as one would expect, my daughter fell in-love with the Little Mermaid. Who wouldn't? Singing fish and all that crap. Anyway, I wondered if it was wise to let Paige watch a movie where the witch died after the Prince killed her. Yep, it was not murder, but self-defense, but how can I explain that to Paige right now?In the course of worrying about the part of the story, I realized that this movie has no moral lesson at all. Seriously. Ariel is a mermaid who is not happy with being a mermaid and...

Microsoft Word 2007

I have discovered that I like using Microsoft Word 2007. I used to frown at this but I am getting the hang of it and I am loving it. I especially like this because I can easily write blog posts without needing to log in to Blogger.com – thus, the second blog post for the day. In all honesty, I have nothing to write. Yes, there were a lot of things that happened, but I really didn't feel the need to write about them.For instance, Paige was hospitalized several weeks ago. It was freaking scary. She was severely dehydrated and I was a mess....

Addicted

At one point or another, I have been addicted to many things. I have been addicted to a human being. This addiction lasted for a decade! I have been addicted to many games including Battle Realms. I was able to figure out how to kill the nemesis a few seconds after the battle started. Right now, I can't remember what was the character's name was. That was five years ago.I am addicted to books. I can never have enough of them. I love libraries and bookshops. I can kill hours on these places, but bring me to a shoe shop and I'd promptly turned...
