THOSE SONGS…

Monday, November 26th, 2007

I got three hours to kill before returning to work.  Hop I went for the bus after picking up my medications from cousinbear’s lair which j. lo bought and mixed for me.  Destination: mall.  I soaked up the warmth of the mall the moment I got through the door.  A welcome relief from the harsh [...]

SHUTTER-HAPPY DAY

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Click, click here… and a click, click there. Here a click.  There a click.  Everywhere a click, click, click!  {Did you hear the Old McDonald song in your head just now?}  That’s my camera “singing“… my company on a long walk in a minus one degree sunny weather.  I took pictures of the coniferous [...]

RAINING MONKEYS

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I’ve been too distracted, there’s a conversation playing in my mind.  I forgot to take the borrowed-expensive-brand-new umbrella laying on the bus floor.  Good thing, cousinbear’s wifey took pity on poor me and didn’t chew my sweet bum off (just a li’l bit in the ear:)
Everything seems to drag this morning.  I didn’t want [...]

SUPER PARALLEL INFINITE TWIXES

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

When I feel the earth’s negative pull of gravity; dragging me slowly down… down in the lowest depths; I struggle to push myself up… up… slowly… slowly tear off my shirt, raise my right arm… up… towards the sky; and yell . . . “SUPERJOY!!!”  (modern darna, noh, santafango?:)  Defying the Law of Gravity, I [...]

THE JOY IN WORDS

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Bachelor of Science in Biology.  Swell!  What was I thinking, majoring in that field when all I ever loved about it was the roll of organisms’ scientific names in my tongue, being  Latin… now, that’s Languages.  The course was way off the road to the career I want so much to pursue.
It is never too [...]

LOSING CONNECTIONS

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

It is simply amazing what comes to light during casual conversations.  What dear Ms loveLydia said on one of our recent chats about writing, trauma and relationships, jolted me.  An issue which I had been trying to push way behind my mind reared its ugly head full blast, finally.  It is heart-breaking all right but [...]

THE HONG KONG CEO’S KITCHEN AND THE FIERY DISHES OF GUIZHOU

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I am promoting Chinese cuisine in the Western world.  Here I am in the Northern American soil, cooking for the Filipinos — Chinese dishes, the Canadians — Chinese dishes, the Koreans and Japanese — Chinese dishes.  Everything Chinese.  It’s very much appreciated though, especially the sweet whole chicken in dark soya sauce.  I learned that [...]

WANDERING MOUNTAIN BIKER BOOKWORM

Monday, November 12th, 2007

The front brake snapped five weeks ago but I did not find the time to bring it to the bike shop.  Blame Vancouver’s frequent rains, I got a lift from bosslady on my days with my cousinbears, I rarely use it.  Now I don’t want to miss a bike ride on a blissfully sunny day.  [...]
