Not Gonna Happen

It’s slim pickin’s out there.  Even if we raised our budget by a hundred bucks – nothing. So when we dejectedly went out of the apartment finder offices, and saw this apartment block advertising a one-bedroom for rent, we decided to have a look. (Never mind that it’s 300 bucks more than what we’ve budgeted [...]

Shoe Tag

❀❉ Another tag from Dyes ❀❉
What’s your shoe size?
☞ 9½W to 10 (although I normally opt for 10) 
Are your feet the same size as your mom’s feet?
☞ Way smaller! My mom’s size is between 6 and 7 probably. 
How about your sister’s feet?
☞ I don’t have a sister.  A brother, yes. 
Can you borrow shoes from [...]

Apartments: We Hunt…

Punta ako sa Lunes sa Chicago Apartment Finders office malapit sa school.  Libre daw service nila – ang clincher dun para sa’kin, ipagmamaneho niya kami para makita yung listings na gusto naming tingnan.  Tingnan na lang natin kung anung mangyayari sa aming initial meeting.
**************** 
Bat kami lilipat ikamo?  Eh kasi parang pinaaalis na kami dito sa [...]

Buset

Habang tina-type ko itong cheat sheet ng aking asawa for his comprehensive exam, binuksan ko si iTunes para naman may background music.  Linagay ko sa aking E-Heads playlist.  Naalala ko na supowsably, may concert sila itong buwan na’to.  Tapos na kaya?  Di ko man lang nalaman kung kelan eh.  Sayang talaga.  Halos buong college life [...]

Weder Weder

Ang ganda ng panahon ngayon, parang naka-aircon ang buong Chicago.  Di mainit, di rin naman sobrang lamig. Tama lang – tamang California, ika nga.  What would normally take two bus rides; nilakad na lang namin.
Kaso humid na naman daw next week.  Huling hirit siguro ng summer season.  Pa-autumn na eh.

Pasukan Na Naman

Limang tulog na lang, pasukan na naman.  Wonder what the new term holds for me?  Mas magaganda kaya grades ko this time?  Sana naman.  Ah hinde, walang sana-sana, kakayanin ko yun!
Most of my classes will be in the other building.  I guess that’s a good thing because I can walk over to Bloomingdale’s or Neiman [...]

Job Hunting Update: 3

Kahit nag-aaral ako, di pa rin ako tumitigil looking for a job.  Ke part-time o paid internship, or whatever.   It’s now official, kahit saleslady, ayaw ako tanggapin… Syet.
I guess di na ako dapat nagugulat.  Sa dami ng nale-layoff dito – na dito nag-aral o dito may experience – eh uunahin pa ba [...]

Another Stupid Question

So there I was washing the dishes… B was tying up the trash bag and hauling it outside, when suddenly he paused and asked, “Ba’t kaya mabaho ang basura, no?”
Kainis. 
Meron kayang listahan somewhere ng mga buset na sagot sa mga buset na tanong?

Diskarteng Tamad: Bistek Tagalog

Okay, so apparently, I haven’t posted a recipe for bistek yet, so here’s one.  
Now this, is particularly special to me, because this was taught to me by my hubby (sa kagustuhang makakain kagad, eh maproseso yung pagluto ko ng bistek).
beef slices
soy sauce
calamansi (juice, squeezed)
sugar (or splenda)
ground pepper
onion (1 big, or 2 small; cut into [...]

Tats

Gusto ko magpa-tattoo.  Kaso di ko magawa-gawa kasi gusto ko muna mag-donate ng dugo.  Kaso tagal ko nang pina-plano di pa rin ako nakakapag-donate.  Lintek na procrastination to!
Nung una, ayoko talaga ng tats kasi, iniisip ko, pag kinailangang mag-donate ako ng isang kidney sa asawa ko (kasi na misdiagnose before si B), eh baka kako [...]

2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.

Chocomparison

Di na masarap ang Cadbury ngayon.  Parang nag-deteriorate ang lasa ever since ma-acquire siya ng Hershey’s.  Then again, baka jaded lang masyado yung dila ko… Kahit nga yung usual suspects, di na rin ganun kasarap eh.  Dati, Snickers lang, solb nako.  Ngayon, parang ilang gatas lang ang lamang niya sa Cloud 9 ng kabataan ko.

  Buti na [...]
