Let’s Hear it From Ms. Hyde!

I don’t have to convince anyone about my being weird. My wicked sisters are totally convinced that their Ate is one of the weirdest persons on the planet. Read on to know why they thought so.
 
Lest I forget, this is in response to SexyMom’s tag (also known as a meme): write 6 weird things about yourself.

I’ve […]

One Voice in the Blogosphere Fugue

I didn’t always blog. I did it the old-fashioned way: I kept a diary. I started as early as high school. I don’t know what happened to that first diary, but I managed to maintain my diary-writing throughout the succeeding years. The earliest intact diary I still have with me was started in 1990, around the time […]

Five Years of Happiness

Time flies. And as for growing children, time flies even faster. How could it have been five years already since we took home this sleeping jewel in our arms?
 
The day after Aya was born, Baggy and I just stared at this tiny breathing, wailing, demanding (don’t you dare take your eyes off me), red and toothless thing […]

Haro, Paro!

Question: What do we and former Japan Prime Minister Koizumi have in common?
 
 

Answer: Except for the obvious observation that we held the same the “Mental Commitment Robot” named “Paro,” none.
 
Of course, there are dozens of these babies, and it’s quite unlikely that we held exactly the same Paro unit as PM Koizumi did, but can you […]

Until Then - Remembering Daddy on Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all dads out there. I lost my Dad three years ago, but his memory is alive and well in my heart and mind. I especially remember him this day, Father’s Day, as he was one of the most significant persons in my life.
In his very last letter to me, dated on […]

Pretty cool, huh? I was able to visit several places in Luzon, […]

Lose the Wheels, Lose the Weight

I was getting pretty tired of seeing Billy’s Boot Camp tele-ad on TV. Day in, day out, I would see Billy and his little band of six-pack-abs girls and boys crunching on TV. Showing off their bodies is more like it. Just order and pay 14,700 yen for the videos and the greatest product ever […]

SexyMom Asks; Salamin Reflects

You are probably familiar with the “interview meme” that has been doing the rounds of many blogs lately. Anyway, I had the opportune time to visit SexyMom’s blog where she posted her own interview, and I promptly left an “Interview me!” request.
My heartfelt thanks to SexyMom for obligingly granting my request for an interview! I […]

Sushi: Japanese Tradition?

Oh sheez, this video is soo wickedly funny. I just had to put it in my blog so I could easily access it and watch it again. *lol*
For me, listening to the voiceover is even funnier (I guess that only works if you do understand Japanese). There are some practices that I am already familiar […]

Can You Hear the Bugs Tonight?

In Japan, summer season is BUG season. I can handle the occasional fruit flies and the blood-sucking mosquitoes, even the centipede-looking hairy thing that turns up every now and then. But one thing that definitely gets my hackles up is the La Cucaracha, the bane of every household, the vermin that appears out of nowhere, […]
