Yes we have finally moved to our new house, a place we can truly call our own. The house is like a warzone now. There are boxes just about everywhere. For 2 nights, we slept on the sofa bed in the living room while waiting for our new mattress to be delivered. Though the hubs [...]

I wonder

I wonder
If you are among the stars above
Watching us on earth try to live life
The way you would want us to.
I wonder
If you miss us
Or know how everything reminds us of you
The songs, the sounds, the sights,
Of memories to which we cling on so tight.
I wonder
If you know how hard it is
For try as I [...]
The Birthday Booty

It was a quiet birthday for me yesterday. The HB wasn’t feeling too well and it was sweltering hot outside, prompting us to remain at home where it is relatively cooler.
The HB had just gotten back from his business trip to Morocco, and he got me a load of stuff from there as a pressie.
Left [...]

When I was little, I loved it when the postman arrived. We would be able to hear the drone of the postman’s motorbike from afar, and waited for his BEEP-BEEPs indicating that we had mail.
Now, I dread it when the postman buzzes the house. I would have to answer the intercom with a “Si?”, and 90% [...]
What I miss most about home

In no particular order:
1. Eyebrow threading

4. Availability of late night meals anywhere, everywhere.
5. McDonald’s Delivery at 3am.
6. My family + my dear Shih Tzu, Boo.
7. Driving on the left side of the road.
8. Cinemas + movies + GSC’s caramel popcorn
9. 24 hour [...]
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO

A poem I found on The Net which brought tears to my eyes.
When I come to the end of the road.
Amd the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long.
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love [...]

It has been SWELTERING hot here in Modena. I kid you not. Coming from a girl who lived in the tropics all her life, this is something serious folks. I have been walking to class every Mondays and Wednesdays, and the usually pleasant 30 minute walk has been arduous to say the least. [...]
The First Anniversary Dinner

The HB tried to surprise me with the dinner on the eve of 9th July, but LOL the poor guy can’t lie to save his life ( I hope! ) so he came clean and told me that he had made reservations at Zelmira, one of the nicer restaurants in Modena, if not the nicest.
I brought my camera along [...]

Sometimes I think that God enjoys playing jokes on me/us.
I wonder why is it that the honest, straight-as-arrow people like me and HB seem to be the victims all the time.
If it is said that people are inherently good, why is it that most times we seem to be dealing with the shittiest of em [...]
