Wordless Wednesday 2008-03-04 18:11:38 I've chosen this as my Wordless Wednesday
.. for I don't only see a sculpted woman in granite but a statue of a woman becoming a deity. On my own thinking, All women have the essences ofa goddess of fertility. Guiding as Juno... Devoted as Isis... Protective as Artemis and having “Unconditional Love” like Hestia.
Putting Sense 2008-03-04 16:47:30 I been tiptoeing my way here. And thinking that I should be putting sense in my life. “PuttingSense
” what is it? I can't remember where or how I get these words. Has these phrase made me wiser to even think of it. Or just some presuming acquired wisdom happen to across by. Or maybe out of my waiting.For the longest time, I been staring through my window. I see movements, people choosing direction & driving to it. And sometimes, someone even stopped by and drag me out from my self-imposed cell. And occasionally, I allowed them.There, I was having my child eye, Seeing, feeling & wondering...what they want me to see? My inner me asking... "Should I see what they want me to see, or feel what they felt or just stop wondering and be drag by their flow. "Then, I'm back on my window.

Warning: There's another ME. 2008-03-03 11:08:23 warningFrom my last few entree, they are more on my self-reflective tone. And somehow, some good bloggers and friends. Have given me wonderful reviews. I've taken them deeply, teething on it and beaming the whole day. So, THANK you so MUCH.To be honest, I don't consider myself as a writer. You see, I 've some grammatical errors and so on. No good with rules. Don't know why. I just keep on bending them to a point on break, too. So, its not my forte. getting appreciated on this is another thing.But talking, YES!!! I'm a blah blah blah person, a chatter box by core. I could shift in second to another subject and go back after a minutes. Person in front of me would even wonder how a chimney(smoker) like me, finds a way to talk without take a pause for breathe. And what more, relates life to fo

My white nights... 2008-03-02 07:04:43 Its been weeks having my attacks (insomnia).To a point that i voluntary gave-up my bed, for the sake of the Man of the house to have decent sleep. Or else, this shack will have two grumpy semi-adult brains running it. No good at all!In my newly acquired sleeping quarter which I happily (in some occasion) shared with my adopted Sally. We're bonding great from watching TV and munching anything edible... to pass on our White Nights.Though sometimes, I felt that she abused me by giving me those pleading looks to have my last slice of cheese. Darn, how I hate when I fell for it. Watching her nibbling my last piece of roquefort and finishing it with a lick(that did me!!)...& then throwing me the looks of “ Can you fetch us more yummies ,pls.” The heck! if i'll do it.Childishly i've turne Read more:nights
Adornment reflects you? 2008-02-29 08:06:55 Adornments are so many in forms, arts, colors and…. are not just making someone stunning or fashionable. It’s a fragment of unstated self-reflection as an individual, within cultural background, beliefs, social status and more… Also it shows individual’s adaptation of something new that pleases personal taste. Consider as growth. It also helps how to project emotion. We often see people metamorphosing through adornments. Showing a part of our personality on how we adorn ourselves. However, it doesn’t fully defines a person.Gifted with having vision, this adornment can be tricky… it could put someone particular category personalized by the looker. Anyway, what matters most is, Are you happy what you’re wearing now? If yes, then flaunt it. Read more:reflects
Letting go, your BUDDY. 2008-02-29 08:01:32 Another day to start. Hubby & kids are out & me staring at my "need to do" list. Telling that, I should clean our bureau preparing it for a facial-lift. Almost raced to the second floor with a coffee mug & tobacco in hand. Stunned, what lays on a 5 m² room.Chaos!Asking myself, why did I CALL this a bureau ? Ooh, coz it got a 2 processors with one monitor, printer, office table with a pitiful chair & bunch of files clattered. Other than that…nothing more, Just… junks, boxes, a cabinet with a broken handle, some travel souvenirs and funny photos of my kids hanging on the wall with a draft of late 60's wallpaper, inherited from it's former owner. If it's floral. I won't mind, Got a heart of a hippy.Now, summoning the courage to get me started. It's nowhere to be found. Sl Read more:Letting
Sunday morning is such a drag 2008-02-29 07:58:44 Waking up on Sunday
like some school day is not a personal choice. It has been forcefully imposed by my kids. I wish, I could reprogram my little patrols(kids) to indulge themselves to stay in their beds until brunch time and sleeping like some angels. To avoid hearing them fighting over the remote control and “who's-turn-who” to watch or pick channel. Worst of all, hearing Sponge Bob sharing his wit.& Me, dreaming to have time to play “tag of war” with blanket, after pulling out my white flag , then resigning by curling-up with hubby to warm me. (Nothing kinky thought please, Sunday morning,k. )Unfortunately, this mama doesn't have this luxury. Forced to be awake & dressed with an apron to start a day. Down we go,Whisking some flours & eggs.. for pancakes, Got to leave
Gray can be grace... 2008-02-29 07:56:47 This time of year..gray sky lurking in my horizon as often as I can count. It makes me a bit depressed (Ok, a lot) from time to time. How this shade can play on my emotion. In some stage, I see Gray is equal to Depression.Through, living here for 6 yrs have taught me... What is depression. How it sucks the life out of you and the most important of all,To Know when not to lingers to your grayish(depressing) mood. Like I would have done before. No good would this feeling brings you. I tell you. Now, I 'm learning how to use gray in a positive way . As a fusion to see what is significant in my life. It gives me the time to slow my pace to review my deeds....And more, it helps me to illuminate the things I ought to see best.
Fingerpicking, picks my nerves 2008-02-29 07:55:52 To those who doesn’t know fingerpicking, it’s a technique for playing some stringed instruments using fingertips or fingernails instead of a pick (plectrum). It creates new sound… highlighting notes & so on. You must be wondering why praise something that picks my nerve. So contradicting! Tell you what. A bit of hubby’s other love. His guitar. A passion that I should be supportive, but no, I’m not. Though, I’ve given a hand to earn a bit passion like his. Yet, I’m having difficulties hearing it every time his at home. Playing his favorite guitarist so loud just irks me. Restoring on locking myself in my domain which is kitchen. Still, it’s high pitch find its way piercing my eardrums. Even brain humming my mantra doesn’t work. Plus, seating in a hard stool, just crack Read more:nerves
D'man with his superlatives 2008-02-26 10:49:31 Superlatives : toujours(always),jamais(never), tout le temps(all the time), aucun(e)(nothing), vraiment(very) and more... These are some of his word amplifications, always attached on his opinions. Which for me, it's a trigger to illuminate my facial lines. Nothing sightly about it. I assure you.Another issue between this wrecked couple is how some adverbs of frequency have been misused or misplaced in their phrases. D'man of this shack just love using them. At first, I thought he was just practicing his English.. a la Word Power baga.Lately, I myself have been acquiring the french equivalent of it. And hearing him using the french one.It can't be associated as a word power drills any longer. For some time now, these practices are getting off hand. And it tickles my nasal to exhaust flame.
BEWARE what you asked for 2008-02-20 08:52:54 I can't help not sharing this. This line just really have a deeper meaning to my Eldest son. Let me break our confidentiality as mom to son.Lets go back 4 yrs ago. He was in 5eme about to enter the adolescence age. Physical changing is on progress and noted..in terms of height and hairs.And Him as an Asian or just in his genes had some little late on that growth. The year before that, he doesn't really mind, him different from others. It just, when he keeps on seeing in their locker room. How his peers having some baby mustache & bushes down their belly button. And the talks of using razor & cream... where he can't reliates.Tick him off.These must be really bothering him a lot to confine to me. I told him that it will come & not to worry. Then he told me "mais(but) non, I keep
A la Mode de Mardi Gras 2008-02-19 09:45:35 My little Missy was so hyper arriving from School. I can hardly make up what she was stuttering about. All I could hear was fluctuating tone of excitement.I started frowning to a bouncing kid in front of me. It made her calm in seconds.She started back from “Mama il faut que, je m'habille (mumbling after.....) comme à Borcéliande, D'accord? ( mama I must dress......like in Borcéliande,ok?) And me, magnifying effortlessly my facial line being asked Où est-elle,mama?(where is it mama?)I stupidly asking Where's what?Then i got slapped by “Don't you speak French, mama?” With strong French accent...Uh, that hurts!!! I was about to mimick her and gearing for the girlish fight. Then comes the Kuya.(elder brother)explaining it all to me. I finally understand what was the yackety-yak abou Read more:Mardi

Big Persona @ play?! 2008-02-18 13:29:14 Here me, playing my dear wifey role, Watching and hearing the recaps of news about the BIG PERSONA in France & from hubby twitting mood about him. Can't help thinking that, how the Big-tiny (you know who,right?) so dynamically playing with his newly acquired wand . To me, he seems loving it. Wagging and dropping some new spells in different sectors, & poor operators (law enforcers) getting confused how to interject the new magical spell given.Wondering me... Is he boldly playing god? Reviving historical pains to 10 yr. old eyes. What good does it brings to them (children)? I don't know.Or he's still on the transition of a newlywed, So Obliging and Giving. He might have felt the needs to bring Roses (offerings) to every doors, he knocks ... Or is he merely a loud thinker? Perhaps, p
The Ruins of Tonquédec (TONKEDEG) 2008-02-18 13:12:33 While I'm waiting for some positive response from my sole prospective employer. I was indulging myself looking through my snapshots. Crossing with..... "Château de Tonquédec" In breton, Its Tonkedeg. The Château dominates the valley of Léguer, west side of Côte d'Armor in Bretagne region. The Origin:"Viscount Prigent, the last known Viscount of Tonquedec, marries his eldest daughter to Geslin de Coetmen. Together the two begin the story of Tonquedec’s Lords.Geslin de Coëtmen, belongs to the family of the Dukes of Penthievre, a younger line of the Sovereigns of independent Brittany, and is the owner of Coetmen Castle.13th to 14th Centuries: From the 13th to the end of the 14th centuries the Viscounts of Tonquedec and Coëtmen are at the crusades."[These coloured captions were taken Read more:Ruins
Friday should never be confusing 2008-02-16 07:14:26 Normally, i should be running up & down with rag & broom in hand. After setting on all the mechanical helps ( laundry & dish washer, dyer & etc... ) working for me. Can't help to THANK those INVENTORS making my life easier." Praise you people. "If some inventors happen to lost their way here, " Can you please invent some MAGIC WAND." Pretty sure, I can handle the pointing thing, that's where I'm good at.Oh non, need to do the ironing... doing grocery list...and pack for my little boy, while thinking what plate should i put on our table tonight.. Well, should say that i did the switching " ON " and cleaning the salon.Guys, i'm allowing you to image me with an APRON but omit the lacey thing on my head, please. Stepford Wives persona? Not bad, but to be more realistic, don't e Read more:Friday
First Plunge 2008-02-15 09:12:44 It is normally so simple to plunge in. Yet, when we took time weighing our moves... its pros and cons, and then, it become so impossible to dive in. I speak about how I have sheltered my life here in France. I took time to acclimate. Not even knowing that by taking those times, I have lost a part of me. My nerve and self-esteem seems in the past now. There, I affirmed. The deafening impact of these written thoughts awakens me. What‘s left to do? Take the first plunge! [Thought of this photo, i took from "ABBEYE DE BEAUPORT" in Paimpol, Bretagne 3 yrs. ago. Should revisit it,to see the progress of its restoration.] Read more:First

Want some Lollipop 2008-02-11 10:30:55 Can’t say that I’m engrossed with political issue here. Handling a profound discussion on this subject shouldn’t be cast on my direction. Yet, with little glimpse of news and as an audience from hubby & his family analyzing current events, sometimes hearing heated debates. My unsolicited speculation forms that, the new President addresses the people like some children,pacifying them with lollipop to stop from whining. Soothing effect follows…. Then, the lollipop will be revoke. Does HE (president) see them in diaper? I wonder...And for the video, Thank you so much, POMARETTO. Read more:Lollipop

What's your Dinner? 2008-03-11 05:23:30 How I've tried not to start talking about food here... and now getting tag about it. Nevertheless, I should apologize to Rojoy, who have passed me this tag. Which it took me awhile to post it. I felt like explaining here. "Sorry, hear me please."The time I found out she had tagged me. I was cooking our dinner as well for a friend surprise party. On the next day it was the party, then the day after some best friends visited us and lastly my little princess got sick. In Case that you wanna know, she's getting better. Hopefully I could throw her back to sch this Thursday.For those who doesn't know and doesn't care to know, I'm basically a slave in my kitchen. Its one of my diversion to escape becoming a loony. What? No, nothing fancy cooking. (How I wish!) I'm more like an experimentalist. L Read more:Dinner
