Busted!


My very first TVR for a busted headlight.

And I thought the traffic aide was being nice until he whipped out his TVR booklet!  Grrrr.

November 2012

Already?!?

Why, it's practically the end of the world! 

Everyone is away today and for the first time in so many years, I cleaned the house all by my lonesome, gave the dogs a bath and cooked rice.  Cleaning the house once again proved that I am allergic to house dust therefore I should avoid disturbing it forever.  My dogs were happy I gave them a bath this week.  They got squeaky clean and fragrant unlike Yaya's perfunctory baths.  Igor was a well-behaved boy and suffered my ministrations.  The rest were their usual angelic selves who let me soap then shampoo then trim then clean their ears then brush and blow-dry their hair.  They love it.  Now they are all peacefully asleep at my feet except for Igor who is on his pillow like a little spoiled arthritic brat.

As for cooking rice, Kayla had a say in it.  She said just put lots of water anyway we like our rice really soft and it will turn out ok.  Once upon a time, when Kayla was still in my belly, I couldn't cook rice if it killed me.  One day, I put some rice on and forgot to turn on the cooker and only remembered it after a couple of days.  You can imagine what a smelly mess that was.  Ugh! 

Thankfully, my Mom cooked the chicken adobo although I do make a killer chicken adobo.  I remember how the last one I cooked was so good you'd want to keep chewing it because you don't want the taste to leave your mouth.  That was a good 25 years ago. I'm sure I can do it again!

This time last year, I fell in love for the first time in my life and got broken-hearted a few months after.  End of THAT story.

This year, I am happily loving someone special.  It's not the same.  There are risks and limitations but it sure is worthwhile.  I hope it lasts a long time.

Otherwise, life is still the same. 

Fun!
