Monday mystery

August 30, 2010

Pristine: “There’s poo on the floor!! There’s poo on the floor!!” My mom and I dropped everything we were holding, paused whatever we were doing and rushed to the living room where the scream came from. Poo!? Pristine had been out of diaper (and of course toilet trained, she’s almost seven) a long time ago…like, dinosaur-wiped-out-of-the-face-of-the-Earth [...]

When someone’s leaning against your car

August 23, 2010

Photo credit Yesterday the three of us (me, M and Pristine) went out for dinner. As we were approaching my (small) car in the parking area, we saw two women talking  and one was leaning on my car.

Bad timing for bird batch #3

May 7, 2010

Summer is here. I only go out from the office at 1:00 pm to go to the gym and back at 2:00 pm but I am wincing and complaining. I don’t look good either, sweating so much walking in that 100 meter walkway stretch. Then I think about the little bird in the nest outside our window. [...]

Without further ado, birdie batch 3

April 15, 2010

ALREADY!? Yep. While I was busy working and not updating my blog, the birdies did not waste time giving me something to write and think about: apparently, birds do not know anything about birth control. I know I say it again and again and again! Remember the newly hatched birds (two of them) a couple [...]

The day I almost went Gaga

March 18, 2010

I got bailed out. From heavy work, that is. When work got in the way too much that I have to do at least one hour of overtime per day (no overtime pay) and even miss my lunch to finish up reports, I thought enough is enough – especially if in the middle of this mess, [...]

Blogging and work clash

March 14, 2010

Hi, I did not die. Literally, no. After all, ghosts don’t write blogs, right? I had been very busy with work – I know not the most colorful excuse of the day but I don’t know any better and it’s true. It’s a shame that it’s true. Two of my colleagues are still in their [...]
