By | February 4, 2011

The man went in for his followup check with his regular doctor Wednesday, Feb 2nd afternoon. Before he even made that appointment, he said he was feeling super duper crappy. Huh, I wonder why???? *Sarcasm* He did look deathly, like someone on his/her death bed….very, very pale including his lips and gums too. He was [...]

A Taste of Home

By | January 31, 2011

One year ago

By | June 4, 2010

One year and an hour ago, I received a call informing me my father had passed away, a very sudden death.  I still remember vividly the conversation, the tone of my voice and what I did that night. One year ago I thought I would have had the chance to see my father again as  [...]

< Mother's Day >

By | May 11, 2010

This is the first year I didn’t send or call my mom on Mother’s Day. Sad isn’t it? The reason is I have not set up my PC or internet service in our new place. We are only “stealing” wireless connection from the neighbors using DB’s ancient Flintstone laptop. (I call my mom on Skpe [...]

No more surface mailing

By | August 13, 2009

Remember the FitFlop sandals I bought for my sister? I mailed it out to her last week Saturday.  The United States Postal Service (USPS) eliminated surface mail a year ago.  It really sucks coz it is way way more expensive to mail parcels to Malaysia or Singapore by Air Mail. What I included in the [...]

Drama in TX

By | August 12, 2009

DB said he is being spoiled by his mommy.  That’s good, after all he is really mommy’s boy, first born, and mommy always comes to him for problem solving issues!  It has been 1 week plus since he left MN.  Still hunting for a job.  The best part is, it’s just not him who is [...]

FitFlop sandals

By | August 6, 2009

I bought a pair of FitFlop before I went on my vacation in June. It is a pair of fit flops I can actually wear for my bad heels.  I think I have plantar fasciitis or heel spurs.  Not sure which, but for sure I cannot wear any shoes or slippers without cushioning.  The pair [...]
