Old Lady Vajayjay Day

Life has been...well, rather predictable.  It's a happy life, but it's a predictable one.  Even ghosts and helpers scratching each other's eyes out are predictable.  But every now and then, something unexpected happens..so, I blog. Earlier this morning, we decided to eat lunch at Greenwich after Paige's event.  While eating, Riley wanted to go "pee-pee".  So, I grabbed her and ran to the bathroom. It was occupied,...

The Cockroach Story

One night, I was watching TV and Riley was playing by the window. When suddenly a cockroach flew in and landed on her head. I started screaming and screaming like a raving lunatic, "Aaaaaaaagh!!!" This startled Riley so she ran towards me. I frantically looked for the cockroach on her head, but I couldn't find it. I breathed a sigh of relief and wondered, "Where did it go?" On cue, Riley held the cockroach in front of my face. Apparently, she caught...

His and Mine

It sucks when your husband's thighs are skinnier and fairer than yours.  I also have more hair. It's like I'm the Missing Link to the Human Evolution or maybe I'm Bigfoot with amnesia. Published with Blogger-droid v2....

Just Give Me a Reason by Pink

I have been playing Pink's The Truth About Love album nonstop. I'm addicted. This is one of my favorites. I love every song in the album but I love singing along with this. I am so in-love with her.  I'd be a lesbian for her. :)...

Kabute

There are some people who pop in and out of your life with no regard to how you'd feel when they appear and eventually leave. People like that exist and they're one of the most cruel human beings who ever walked the face of the earth. I exaggerate, of course. It's just that I realize I have a lot of that kind of people in my life. You're one of them. Published with Blogger-droid v2....

Rooftop Prince: The Ending Sucked!

Time travel love stories often suck.  This time it sucked big time. I am crying my eyes out and it's because of that blasted Korean drama - Rooftop Prince. I absolutely hate the ending.   I mean, the story starts with this Prince who time traveled and met this spunky girl. And for 19 episodes, it was about this Prince and this girl. And then he went back to his own time - 300 years ago - and he was shown to be pining for...

Because It Only Happens to Me

I know these things happen to me, so I shouldn't have been surprised. After all, I am cursed. I fall down stairs with half of the University's student body watching me roll - literally roll from the second floor to the ground floor. I am that girl who walks around with her ass hanging out for all the world to see - and yes, again, I mean that literally. So, when something embarrassing happens to me, I shouldn't be surprised, right? No. For...

Got My Mojo Back

If there is one thing that can inspire me to write - that would be my sister's writing or blog. She's a goddess when it comes to writing. You should check out her blog and see for yourself.  Actually, she's the one who introduced me to blogging. Every now and then, people would ask me, "What do you do?" Short of telling them to go fuck off, I always force myself to explain my work. But unless you're Internet savvy, I doubt that you would understand my work.   I started out as a writer and for a while there, I get this little...

Banned from Mexicali

We actually just wanted to have an early dinner and maybe coffee - and actually, that was what we had. We had an early dinner at Biggs, then we transferred to Avenue Square for coffee and cake and then we transferred to Mexicali for nachos, beer and french fries. Yes, we ate a lot Tinay and I had a blast while Tin sat there and pondered over her life - or her love life to be specific. I think we're banned from Mexicali for life.  First,...

Off My Bucket List

Sing with a Band in a Bar? Done.  Of course, the band was composed of only 2 people, so it's not really a band. And my audience was mostly outside the restaurant. And it wasn't a bar - it was a Mexican restaurant. But yeah, I did it, so there. Off the bucket list.    Tinay and Tin were posers!  Did you read that Tinapay?  You should have sung!  Oh, I forgot you did! :)) ...

An Open Letter to Teacher Mots of Teacher's Pwet

Dear Mots, It's just sad that you are already taken. My friend has a HUGE crush on you. You seriously have an awesome effect on her. Sincerely, ME P.S. I know I am doing a poor job on "marketing" my friend right now, but I doubt it if your girlfriend would appreciate this blog post. P.P.S. You have got to admit this is flattering though. As you would say, la lungs....

An Ordinary Life

I haven't been blogging. It's easy to just tweet a thought at any given moment that I don't find the need to blog anymore. Life is not that different as well.  Life is... well, the same.  Life is as it should be.  There is nothing extraordinary that is going on, but curiously enough it's the sheer normalcy that makes it all so worthwhile. I'm content and yes, happy. I can probably right about that, right?  But who would...

I have a secret. I have secrets. They are really not my own; although, I have my own.  There are secrets that I will never tell.  They are mine and mine to keep. This day has been...well, interesting, to say the least. Secret #1 is a good secret or a horrible one.  It depends on how you look at it and in whose perspective.  I think I can say the same thing for Secret #2. Again, it can be a good secret or a horrible...

Mobile Blog

Sometimes, I don't want to go online and I just want to do a random blog post on my phone. Thus, I have my mobile blog.  I haven't been blogging here. I've discovered the pleasures of anonymous blogging. I get to write every thing down without worrying about what you'd think or offending anyone. The thing is, I don't know who reads this blog. I don't know how much information I divulge here. So, yeah. I like writing anonymously. I still have...

If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda

This Used To Be My Poem For You. Well, at least until I forgot about this poem and sometimes, forget about you too. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you forget me I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little...

I'm 32 Today.

So, this is how 32 feels like. It doesn't feel any different. I still feel the same inside, but the number is so intimidating.  It forces me to come to terms with things in my life. What Have I Learned at 32? At 32, I have learned to like myself. Oh, I am not at all perfect, but I have learned to be truly comfortable with who I am. It doesn't mean, however, that I will be complacent.  There are some things that I can still change...

Ranting: 03.08.2012

God, I'm so tired. I am not cut out for this. I've realized that I do not EVER want to be a businesswoman.  Erbe revels on this however, but I hate it. I HATE IT. I hate waking up early and I hate sleeping late. I hate dealing with people and worrying, constantly worrying. The thing is Erbe loves this, but I end up with the ugly tasks, mostly scolding people. I don't know how many times I've scolded people the past few days. People have come to hate me.  When I used to be "Tere", now I'm "Ma'am".  See? That's how bad it is! ...

Staring At The Monster

Sometimes, bad things happen to people you love.  Often you'd find yourself pretending that it's not really "that bad" or that the monster will just go away.  Sometimes, you end up with a really stubborn one that refuses to let go. And then, for a single second, it happens.  You find yourself staring at the same truth that you've been trying to ignore. I'm staring at that now. My daddy is sick.  He's not perfect, but he's my father. He has his eccentricities, but he taught me one thing � faith, absolute faith in God. And...

Random Thought: 02.29.12

I feel sad. I don't know why but I do. Here I am, idly tapping on the keyboards. I still can't use my left hand properly. The damn cut still hurts, so I still have to rely heavily on my right hand. I really do not know what to say. I just want to write and let my thoughts run. It does not matter where they end. I have been feeling sad since my parents decided to seek treatment for Daddy in Manila. He has been sick for four months now and the doctors here do not know what to do with him. We have been to three doctors and none of them have been...

On First Loves

For a couple of days now, E and I have been talking about first loves.  This was prompted by my own talk with Ms. Francisco.  E knows who his first love is.  I, however, have just realized who mine is while writing this. (Yes, Tinay, you read that right and after you read this, you probably will arrive at an incorrect the right conclusion. :) ) I have been with several people and at one time or another, I felt strongly...

My Little Girl Has a Crush

Paige has seemingly developed a crush for this little boy in our neighborhood. As her mother, I would have probably just shrugged it off IF the boy were even remotely adorable, but he's not. And that is the understatement of the year. The poor little boy has not seen a bucket of water in days!  He's dirty.  He's often walking barefoot and he is always, always buck naked! Yep, his little twiggy is wagging for all the world to see. ...
