To My Dearest...

I want to...

I want to sleep more,
I want a not-so-chill fall,
I want to have fun,
I want to be happy.

I want a Wii,
I want a pair of black boots,
I want a sumo pillow,
I want a PetTree,
I want a set of Kung Fu Kids stationary.

I want to graduate,
I want to build a better blog,
I want to move to Toronto,
I want to get a job,
I want to live in a loft,
I want to open a cake shop.

I want to travel,
I want to go to Spain with my special someone,
I want to wish all brides-to-be as happy as they can be.

To my dearest ......

What is indian style hakka chinese cuisine? Only the chef and the owner knows!
To me it's a bit of confusion fusion here.

I am not as adventurous as to go figure it out myself. Anybody volunteer?

To my dearest slowpoke,

There are many slowpokes around me in my life, and in the last few months I have been living with one. It doesn't bother me much most of the time but there are times you just want to strangle the slowpoke and leave him behind.

Hm, where should I start? ok, my housemate is busy with her exam today and didn't have time to take her boyfriend to work, so we organized a car pool. Since the shop is open this week only I want to get to school as early as possible to get work done. We agreed to leave by 930am last night.

This morning while I was packing my car while eating breakfast, slowpoke arise from the stairs at 925am. He saw me eating breakfast so he asked if he could have breakfast before we leave. We end up leaving the house 2 minutes before 10am.

Yes, Mr. slowpoke has his own car, but he spent last friday afternoon to fix the brake only to know that he broke another part, so he needs to carpool before this thursday while the car is in the garage.

He also complains the amount of errands to fix around the house. He broke the kitchen faucet on the weekend. (He broke so many things recently. :p ) Since he doesn't have his car around I had to take him to Home Depot to get the special screw to put it back together. Too bad Home Depot doesn't carry the screw so we have to stuck with the broken faucet for a while. No, I don't know when it will be fixed, since the kitchen is not the first priority on his list.

Oh, forgot to mention, when I was ready to pick him from the office this evening, I called him 15 mins before hand to let him get ready. Took him at least 5 more mins after I arrive for him to get out of the door.

Thank god we don't have to carpool with him everyday or else my model will never get done.

“Polar bears are not white, they're clear. Their transparent fur doesn't contain a white pigment, but the hair shafts house many time air bubbles, which scatter the sun's white light, and we register the spectacle as white fur."

Leaves are, in fact, red and brown as we see them in fall. They only appear green during summer because of their chlorophyll. Trees stop producing chlorophyll in preparation for winter and that's why their leaves fades to masses of yellows, reds and browns.

Butterflies and bowflies have their taste organs on their front feet. They taste by stepping their feet on the food to be tested. Imagine you stepping on your dinner and feel what it taste like!
Sugar, fat, and some other foods, have the ability to stimulate endorphins - morphinelike painkillers produced by the brain - to calm our nerves and give us a sense of comfort. Time to grab a cookie!
