i really like this song

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place,
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade away

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall, for
I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck up on the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My God it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

"pork roast temperature"

just got up from a "nap"...what is it with me and quotes these days? anyway, yea, so so tired from our SF trip for our friends gretchen and jake's wedding.

at 7 pm mark was cooking a roast and vaughn and i just crashed in the bedroom. and i woke up because my eyes were starting to hurt. oh yea cuz i haven't taken off my freakin contact lenses yet.

i have the pictures and i want to arrange them in an artistic way but well who has time for that?

a million things running thru my mind (like always)...laundry, work tomorrow, vegas trip this weekend gotta figure babysitter logistics (hi sang!) and what the hell am i gonna wear, damn it's hot is this the greenhouse effect? eileen took leilani to florida? i wonder how the plane ride was for them, oooh that turon from goodha was really good, i need to call my mom, etc etc

random, i know. but it's also 3 am so synapses are misfiring...and i need to take off these damn contacts =P pictures of the wedding at my multiply. this weekend, vegas with everybody sans bebe =)

whoa my mom never did this for me

recently saw this at martha stewart's site:

Apple Cup
Cut an apple crosswise, about one-third of the way down. Scoop out the flesh with a melon baller. Using a lemon stripper, carve the child's first initial into the flesh. Rub the cut areas with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning, then fill the cavity with chicken salad. Refrigerate inside a plastic container.

Cereal Bracelet
Send a special note from you to school by stringing Fruit Loops or Cheerios onto an elastic string, then tying to make a bracelet. Attach a message such as "Have a great day" to the bracelet, then pop the tasty jewelry into the lunch box.

have any of you seen stepford wives? this is the image that crossed my mind while i was reading this. i think it's a bit much for a wee creature. but if i experience a brain glitch, i might do it for vaughn. hahahaha!

hahahaha they posted it

i submitted something to this website and they posted it hahaha!

it's in our vernacular so non-bisaya speaking friends won't "get" the joke/s. contrary to popular belief, NOT EVERYBODY who comes from the philippines speak tagalog. the people from the two biggest islands Visayas and Mindanao speak BISAYA. god how i hate it when people ask me if i speak tagalog! because i really don't. i speak broken tagalog and it's really hard to get my message across. like when this gas guy came over at the house, he's like, "you filipino?" so i say "yes" and he said "maraming salamat" (many thanks in tagalog) and i responded back "you're welcome" nice! now he must think i'm some whitewashed asshole. i can't think fast enough to say "walang anuman" (you're welcome in tagalog)...wait do tagalog people even use that phrase anymore??? thank god i didn't marry a tagalog guy because i would totally confuse him on a daily basis. lol whatever, BISAYA rules!

p.s. oh and i hate ignorant tagalog people who snicker and laugh and ask if it's a foreign language whenever i speak bisaya. tsk tsk, some people were not taught diversity by their mommas -- so tragic!

A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
