Ha! who am I kidding? Readers?? my blog stats are at its all-time LOW this past few days and it is preventing me to write something…lack of [...]

Wannabe »

Now, I may be alone in this but I loved Britain’s most famous all-female band, the Spice Girls. They were talented and that period of their popularity, phenomenal.
I like the way Posh was still decent with natural body parts and still knew how to smile sometimes; Mel B haven’t met Eddie Murphy yet; Geri in [...]

can’t blame her, really »

As expected, there was a major happening at the movie house where the teachers took the KG1 and KG2 kids to see Shrek 3 yesterday. Pristine came home without socks, not with her usual skirt uniform but with her extra shorts on and new! undies, different from the one she wore when she left in [...]

moon cradle »

The symbol of a crescent moon cradling a five-pointed star is today identified as an emblem for Islam, just as a cross popularly signifies Christianity. Imagine the overjoy of the whole UAE population who witnessed last night’s rare occurence of a moon cradling a star in Dubai’s skies!!

the chevy picture »

M bought home the car yesterday with a big grin on his face and our whole weekend plan written on his forehead, he, he.
It was already night when he parked the car and too dark to take picture. We got a red hot Chevrolet Cavalier Sport Edition (whatever that means!). RED. I know, it’s so [...]

Instead of the company giving him a company car on September (that means we have to brave the hottest months nah..most probably hibernate at the temperature controlled home), he earned [...]

anime talk »

I don’t know, hubby being Japanese and all, does not like Disney cartoon. You all know how Japanese animes tend to look like real people, details and all. I’m not talking about Pokemon or Naruto. I am actually [...]

Happy Father’s Day »

Dear M,
I thought I had to have you checked in the psychiatric hospital when you proposed to me 8 years ago, just after we dated for a month. Although I did not accept that sweet proposal, I played your game and thought to myself that all these selfless sweet acts you show everyday would eventually die [...]

i’m injured »

Still very sleepy at 6 a.m. I dragged my butt into the kitchen. I promised my mom I’d wake up early and teach her how to make German Potato Salad, Pristine’s favorite breakfast of late.
As I was opening the bacon with the knife I finally sharpened last night, but instead of making a straight cut [...]
