My Meme~Blego
February 21, 2008
Gay, from A Scientist in the Kitchen, tagged me for this meme the first week of February. Although I had my response saved as a draft since the day after the tag, I’ve been putting off posting it. You see, if there is something I should share about me (one that is worth a discussion across a psychiatrist’s desk, I think), it is that I am a sucker for kindness. Show me one little good thing and you have me hooked for life. Take the case of Gay. During our early days of blogging, she was nice enough to guide Read more
2008 Recipe Challenge Round-Up
February 1, 2008
I was sitting at our dining table, lazily flipping an old issue of Better Homes and Gardens, when my daughter, Liane, noticed me and remarked, “Ma, isn’t your round up due today?”. It was around 10 PM and, normally, around this time, I would be in front of the computer, either just contentedly gazing at my blog pictures or actively hopping around from one favorite food site to another. But tonight, there I was, half-enjoying a lukewarm cup of ocha along with a copy of a very tattered magazine. If truth be told, I was feeling a little sad, a little crushed…

I need real resolutions, a solid game plan on how I can achieve all the things I have prayed for, and have wished for this 2008.
I want to be bathing suit ready in July. I want to add more pennies to my piggy bank. I want to have more alone times with hubby. I want to be my 16-year old daughter’s bestfriend. I want to learn beyond Mi nombre es Lalaine in Spanish. I want to waddle my tired housewife-slash-career-woman feet in the clear waters of Honolulu (by MYSELF, if I may). I want a DSLR camera which I didn’t get for Christmas because I have a husband who never listens! (got me a watch!) I want more than 30 unique hits on my blogsite a day. Read more
