My countryside convalescence continues (Hey, it’s an alliteration!
YEY!) and I’m here at the Golfers’ Lounge where I lounge, eat, NOT play
golf and stare at… [continue reading...]
Ma maman has shipped me off to la maison in Tagaytay to recuperate (and
to not infect anyone at home). I am in exile here for a week. [continue reading...]
I was imprisoned at the hospital for a few days last week. I was
battling tEh MeEzeLz (not the German kind). They kept poking me with
needles to get some blood so they could check my platelet count just to
be sure it wasn’t Dengue. [continue reading...]
You’ve probably heard of Miss Teen South Carolina and how she royally fumbled in the Q&A portion of Miss Teen USA 2007.
Here are some videos I found on the internetz that shamelessly make fun
of this unfortunate young lady, and I am sharing them with you so that
you may make fun of her like everyone else. Because if the internetz

I purchased a padlock today. It was manufactured in a country where the

So some of you already know about Manang Neneng, whom I wrote about in The Lamentations Of Our New Laundrywoman. Today, I overheard her while she was in the backyard, calling out to her pet stray cat. [continue reading...]
We hired a new laundrywoman a few weeks ago, because the old one recently got married to a man she had never before seen in her entire life (it’s a funny story, but I think I’ll talk about that in another entry) and moved back to her old province. So we now have a new one, and she is an old but rather spirited lady who used to be a beautician (which probably explains why her hair is not her natural color and her penchant for wearing ornate, dangling earrings at all times).
