PEOPLE equals DESSERTS (Part One)

It's Sunday morning and it dawned on me. Yes, a lot of things has been "dawning" on me lately.While making fudge - I realized that people in our lives (yours and mine, my furry friends) - are like desserts. Here's the analogy I came up - while stirring my butterscotch fudge:

People can sometimes be like:

COOKIES - you hold them too tight and they can crumble before it reaches your mouth. And if you let them cool down a bit after coming out of the oven, you can hold them easy and both of you end up happy - you appreciate 'em and they don't burn your tongue. Awww!

FUDGE - as most desserts, they can take awhile to make - the constant stirring so it won't stick to your saucepan. Most people like to be constantly motivated, thus, "stirred" to get to their goals. Nothing wrong with that I guess, but if you get distracted, they too get distracted and would rather not be where they would want to be. Another look at fudge - people see 'em, they never think twice - but just swallow 'em whole. Yes, there are peeps out there that can swallow you whole too, my furry friends - so be warned!

CHEESECAKE - takes time to make but if you wait long enough (like the next day), you can actually enjoy the fruits of your labor (or others'). Same goes with peeps in your life, if you stick around long enough - you get to enjoy their company and know their real "flavor" or lack of it. Ha!

I wanted to post more but I don't have the luxury of time today. I am making fudge and cheesecake today. And cookies you say? Nah, I am concentrating on those two for now.

So - to go back to my analogy of peeps and desserts - I think it's a pretty good one. Looking at the people in your life as desserts - they add color to your everyday existence. And hey, who doesn't like desserts, anyway?

That's it for now my furry friends. This is just part ONE. Don't ask me how many parts I am planning to make of it, 'coz I got no answer to that one just yet.

'Til next!

New Powerpuff Gurl

It's confirmed. I joined the Powerpuff girls
since I last visited my doctor. He prescribed the blue and the orange puffers. Yep!...I joined the wagon of puffies (that doesn't sound right, does it?)
Given no choice (see my previous blog about coughing), he thinks I could use a break and maybe I "maybe" developing (excuse me, redundancy here) asthma. Oh, he's such a worry wart! I'm fine! I'm breathing! That's all that matters, right? Wrong! At least that's what he said.
But no worries, my furry friends. I'm not allergic to furs. So we can still hang out in fairy land. Nice....
In the meantime, we'll just have to wait and see if I'd still huff and puff and blooooowwwwwww the house down! (Hey, I'm no bully!)
Seriously, it's no cause for any alarm (as long as you got the right timer! ha!). Okay, can't be serious.
But if you can think of a nice name for my new identity as a powerpuff girl - that would be G-R-E-A-T! (for those of you who needs a review: the names of the original 3: blossom, bubbles, buttercup - geez! watch more tv!)


P.S. What about Bundles? Ha! like I'm a bundle of whatever bundles you can think of! Yes! including bundle of yarn!

Chasin'

My song for the week...I think..



And I thought people chase dreams and not pavements! Yay...if you chase the pavement, might hurt ya. Ouch!

The Heat is On!

Really. The Heat-er is still ON! It's almost the end of May and our building apartment still has it's freakin' heater on! And at night! I am literally "grillin'" mad about it! But I should stop shouting, right?!

Honestly, the past few days I've been worried how come each time I come home, I start coughing my brains out (not exaggerating here- but I think I almost lost some of it in the sink). I've been wondering like crazy - trying the process of elimination what could I possibly be allergic to. And even to the point of getting a doctor's appointment for it. Each time I get bouts of coughism (okay, this word I just made up), I thought I will be laid to rest pretty soon! Talk about paranoia! (Shouting again..)

Niweys, I know the culprit of all this mayhem. The heater!. I am allergic to the kind of heat they use in this building. Enough of the problem. Let's focus on the solution, shall we?

Windows in the bedroom open?- check. Windows in the kitchen - open? Check. In the Living Room? Check. In the bathroom? Check. Dining area? Check. Okay. Now, the whole apartment windows are open - open for all the pollution - noise and whatever type you can think of. Called the building super? Check.

Geez, I am just typing away here and I just took a shower and I am sweatin'.

Pleeeease! somebody save me!

Enjoying the not-so-long weekend

On this wet, windy Saturday, I have been contemplating on what I will do for this long weekend. Should I turn the apartment upside down? Should I make upside down cake? Or should I learn to stand upside down? Hmm...too many choices!

In the meantime, I thought and pondered until I ended up sleeping! What a day! Everybody deserves a break...including me...and you, my furry friends...

So, while I enjoy this long weekend doing whatever it is I will decide on doing...I found this video of (my new favorite) Cher.

Oh c'mon, aren't you feeling the 80's???

Feels Like Dorothy

Yesterday was a verrrry windy day. Did you get blown away?

Good thing I live in the city. Can you imagine living in the countryside with all that space? Why am I full of questions this morning? How come I can't stop asking so many questions? Can you see it? Do you notice it? Can you help me stop doing this? Can you PLEEEEASE help me stop asking you so many questions? Pleeeease???

PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. sTOP.

(Sigh) That was close.

Must be the effect of the twister-like effect of yesterday's wind. Yay!

Anywho, I am off to tidying up the mess I made in the kitchen this morning. Well, not really so much of a mess but the stuff I used in making those muffins.Yep, they were gooood. Hey, you should know me by now!

In the meanest while (see I made that up, instead of meanwhile, I put in "meanest" - not to be mean but just something a bit different today -okay STOP).Whew! Here's a clip for you to enjoy. Don't forget the red shoes, Toto!

Tuesday Specials

Today is Tuesday. A special Tuesday. No work Tuesday. No school Tuesday.

Ahhh...life!

Back to earth. I realized I have a lot of things to do today. Laundry.Cooking.Baking.Tidying Up.Going to PO.Some Shopping. and a whole-lot-a-domestic-duties.

Ahhh...the realities of life!

Why can't we just live in a dream? Or maybe we are living in a dream...Who knows?

I remember my physics teach'r in high school, he told us a "profound" scenario which made us think and ponder (that he's nuts) - he said, 'what if you are riding the bus, you look out the window and you perceive that you are moving WHEN the world around you is actually moving and you are stationary?' For some reason, of all things he taught us - that's one of two things that I still remember.(The other one being, he looked at my watch intensely - until he realized that there's a tiny spider spinning around the clock -afterwhich he asked me -'are you spiderwoman?')

Okay back to Tuesday. I love tuesdays. Not only does it come after Monday - which is usually a toxic day. Tuesday may be a bit of a drag (like you can't see Friday from tuesday) but it's a sign you got through Monday.

It's funny how things work out.

Ha!

BFF names through THE YEARS...

It's 12 past 2 am and I am laying here while watching the last 2 episodes of Dresden Files, my mind is also typing away - my fingers are a little slow to catch up.
Anywho, I've decided to share with you the names of my bestfriends - ones I can still remember since I was 7. Here we go:
In grade school: Jennifer, Abigail, Joanna, Jenny, Lyvia, Carol, Rosalie, Arlyn
In High school: Cathy, Charina, Jennifer, Myla, Antonette, Leah, Joshelle, Heizel, Gina, Ivy, Rizza, Leonor, Aileen, Anna, Sheila, Claudine, Joanne, Joy, and Tinky.(I went to an all girls school, in case you're wondering why all girls names)
In College: Abby, Raquel, Joy (I started dating during those years so I was kinda busy - plus some of my bffs in high school carried on til college days)

During my first year at SOLAIR : Janine, Malu, Mel, Mon

And when I started working, and I mean really working in various companies and different industries, I also met a lot of interesting and nice people who has touched my life in one way or another. And some names I can recall: Jing, Wini, Alessa, Olivier, Lil, Mercy, Raffie, Bobeck, Jane, Bunny, Scheilla, Maya, Nona.

And for the last 6 years, some of the above names still exists inside my circle - we may not be talking everyday, but you know that you will be there for each other NO MATTER WHAT.

Latest names are: Esther, Bing, Denise, Mary Rose, James, and Annette.

I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some names (called old age),like the friend I have in college who'd always share a laugh or two and draws a caricature of our Rizal& History professor. Maybe tomorrow her name will dawn on me..

Okay, this post is going nowhere now, it's half past and it's late. (for what?)

I suppose I didn't do too bad in choosing and making friends along the way, huh?

And I am sure most of you are as excited as I am when you meet new people in your life. It's always a good feel. Trust me.
