We went there early this month. Just because this was one of the featured places in the ‘Taste Of Chicago’. It’s actually good. Better than that rib place we went to, along Pulaski, where the ribs are a little dry. Bread was so so but the corn muffins taste good. We both had ribs plus half [...]

Books & Reading
I woke up this morning to the jarring sound of the buzzer. Then I remembered that the UPS guy is scheduled to come by today. (A wala nang mumog-mumog direcho baba na! Di naman ako aamuyin eh! Besides, I know they hate waiting around for people to show up.) So I rushed down 2 flights [...]

Life’s Natural Highs
The list can be found anywhere and everywhere in the world wide web. Apparently it’s from an unknown author. (Well, at least that’s what most of the sites say). It makes for a good read, but I took the liberty of tweaking it a bit to suit my taste. So, in no specific order, here’s my [...]

Mga (#@!*) Tanong – from various sources
pag ang lason nag expire, makaka-lason pa kaya yon?
pag nasa north pole ka na, yung compass mo kaya tuturo pa sa north?
pag ang uod o kaya maggot namatay, uuurin din kaya sila?
ano abbreviation ng abbreviation? (this one from B)
babae ba talaga yung ladybug? (again, from B)
I’m sure there are more out there, waiting to be asked…

Fried Chicken
There are times when, in the course of everyday life, somebody points out something so blatantly true about yourself, you wonder why you haven’t acknowledged it as a fact before. B simply stated the obvious – “you love fried chicken”. I nearly hit myself in the head. Duh! How come I wasn’t aware of that [...]

” I Say…Brrrr! It’s Cold In Here!”
Just been to the neighborhood laundromat. Although our building has its own laundry room, our winter clothes are way too bulky to fit in the machines, several at a time. A pity as it’s cheaper here in the building.
It’s not even that long into the autumn season and yet it’s already chilly outside, even dipping [...]

Say Hello To My Little Friend – the Nokia E61i
It’s been my phone for nearly two months now. It was a bit more expensive than the 4gb iPhone then, but I wasn’t even tempted to buy the latter, nope, not for one minute. As with all initial releases, I knew a bug (or two) will come out sooner or later, followed by a second [...]

In the Office
Some of B’s office tenets:
“There are no true friends in the office. At the end of the day, people will always be loyal to themselves.” (Which brings me to the next one) “Your loyalty should be first and foremost, to yourself, then to your family, then to your country.”
A pity I learned these things from him [...]

Night Rites
As we age, we seem to incorporate more and more nightly rituals into our life. I used to remember simpler times when after you take a bath, you wait for your hair to dry a bit and you hit the pillows. Now, I find I have actually created my own. Some of my earliest memories [...]

70’s Disco
Nothing like it! You just want to move to the familiar old strains…donna summer, gloria gaynor, marvin gaye, beegees, barry white….the list goes on. I don’t like going to bars yet do you need to go to one to appreciate this fabulous era?!
I am a domesticated office girl myself and whenever I cook, I prefer [...]

Only Human
The saddest (if not one of the saddest) realization you can make as an adult, is to find that your parents are only human. They get sick, they make mistakes, and they die.
(One of B’s pearls of wisdom)

Apple Slices
Think, maybe I should write an irate email to Steve Jobs too? Well the first IPhone customers got $100 credit just by bitching about the price cut and phasing out of their phone model, why shouldn’t IPod customers (specifically those who, like me, bought the fifth generation 30gb model) do too? For one, Apple phased [...]

Comfort Food
Just when I thought I was sick and tired of Chinese food, I found myself sitting inside one and waiting for our food to be served. We ordered a couple of the house favourites, spicy chicken wings and red noodle soup, as well as a plate of beef fried rice. The food was good enough [...]

Football
I love sports, as much as the next person. To be specific, spectator sports. Boxing (Pacquiao bouts of course!), basketball (at the moment? Miami Heat!), soccer (currently Liverpool, but if Steven Gerrard transfers…), swimming, diving, and now…football! I guess it is inevitable, since I live in a city where people love their sports so much they [...]

Marriage
Why do couples break up? Let me narrow it down a bit more – why do married couples separate? I do not want to talk about this for fear of jinxing my own marriage (yeah, shallow right?). But lately, there seems to be quite a lot of that happening around me. I know there are so [...]
