Sometime last week or early this week, a friend asked if I could run 10km because he was looking for marathon teammates. I told him that I can barely run 2.4km in under twenty minutes and running was not my favourite activity, so I was not a good choice for a team mate. Coincidentally, on the very same day that he asked, I read a post regarding the Great Eastern Women's 10km …
Seriously, it's hard to keep track of all the characters. I'm not even a quarter way through the book and not only are there about at least twenty characters, they have multiple names, and the names are very similar too. I kept having to refer to the genealogy tree at the index pages, just to keep track of the main players.I've been reading it at a relatively slow pace since …
She makes me want to re-read The Vagina Monologues.
I got to wake up late this morning and I didn't have to go to work. I spent most of the day watching my DVDs and then I went to watch a movie. Also, because I spent most of the day alone, I really enjoyed it since I was in badly need of some personal downtime. Now, back to my DVD watching.Technorati Tags: Life

I’m relatively new to yoga but I find that it really helps. Especially since I’ve been hitting the gym regularly, I find that yoga helps with my stretching and toning of the muscles. On a …
I just came back from watching Sweeney Todd with my sisters and it was good. Disturbing, but good. I loved the blood and gore and the way he murdered his victims but the singing. Gosh, the singing. It was like I was reading Lord of the Rings again, the part where Legolas was singing and singing and singing. Pages and pages of singing. I almost walked out of the theater if the …
Remember back in the day when you were still a child, for twenty cents, you can get a small pink bottle that you can blow your own bubbles until your lips pucker up from the soap? I love those. It's been years since we last had any bubble blowing toys in the house as my sisters are all grown up. That is until my dad received an elephant-shaped bottle of bubble liquid at the …
That should be the real title for all board games, because seriously, it's true. I happen to be one of those a**holes too. I play to win and when I lose, I'm a sore loser don't take it very well.My favourite board games to play are Scrabble, Monopoly and Cluedo. I wonder if Boggle would be counted as a board game. I do have Scrabble, Monopoly and Cluedo at home but my sisters …
It was a perfect day for a swim, so I went. Now I'm tanned even after all that sunblock. The only problem was that I didn't have water confidence and stamina to swim a full lap. Instead, I swam near the ropes (they roped up the pool to partition off the continuous lap lanes and the other lanes for the kids learning to swim) and stopped every third of the pool and hung on for …
I'm not a very flexible person, especially my hamstring area, even when I was back in school. After years of not exercising, my muscles are tight and it's damn uncomfortable when I'm stressed out, causing my muscles to tense up. On top of that, my balance was shot to hell. I could trip over my own feet even when I'm standing still. So when they had the yoga classes very near …
Normally, orcas (or killer whales) are black and white but this particular orca (as reported here and here) isn’t. It’s actually pale tan where the black parts are supposed to be.It’s thin …

It's been a while since I actually did something proactive about my egoistical need to look pretty even though no one else notices the way I look, so I decided to do a little torture pampering.I started the day early with a session with my sister's beautician. I have to say that it's one of the best facial experience I've ever had. She had a gentle touch and she didn't prod …
There's so much I want to say but I can't ever put into words without sounding clichéd. The ladies mean so much more to me than anything. So here's to my mum, my grandma and my mak. I love …
Oratane does make you feel a little depressed. So to dispel the negativity going on in the brain, I want to give thanks for the things in my life.I'm glad that my mother is well again. Even though that she still has another doctor's appointment coming up, I'm praying and hoping that it'll be clear and then I can finally breathe easier.I'm glad for my sister, for the wonderful …
I'm done with The Silmarillion on the commute back from work. I was right; I really want to read The Lord of The Rings now but I'll read A Girl's Guide To Vampires before I pick up Fellowship of The Ring.Also, these came in the mail today:CSI:Miami Season 5, so bad and so cheesy that I love it.CSI season 7, I could and want to say something about Nick Stokes but I …
What the hell is going on?! In the past ten days, you've only had dinner on three days and you've refused to have dinner the rest of the six days. Are you trying to hurt/maim/kill me? You starting to have the early symptoms of gastric and yet you still refuse to eat. And don't you blame it on the House dvds because this started way before those dvds arrived. There's so much …
