The Journey Goes On

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

This blog started in fulfillment of a requirement for my Computer Ethics course in my MA back in 2005. If I tell you that I chose that particular subject as my elective because it was the cheapest-priced, you might laugh at me. It’s true, I thought at that time that hey, I think I can Read More …

Metamorphosis and All That

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Changing one’s packaging can happen in at least one of the following instances:

When the person badly needs it
When they feel like it
When others like it
When nobody cares anymore

This website has been re-packaged twice already. From a free account with Blogger, it metamorphosed into a personal domain. I think at the moment, it is ripe Read More …

Healthy Burger for the Whole Family
Being a vegetarian, I sure miss the taste of burgers. Even after years of not eating that all-American favourite, I have no problem inhaling its aroma every time I pass by a fastfood store. In fact, I relish it and am content with just the smell of it.

The trouble comes Read More …

My Little Master Chef

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

This is my second son, Elijah. Since he was small, he has shown an interest in cooking. Last week, he was so delighted to be given a place in a ” Make and Take Session” in his school, where a parent can join him for a one-to-one activity.

We chopped vegetables for vegetable curry. I Read More …

Hoarding as a Disease: Do we Hold the Cure?

Very recently, two incidents of death happened here in Britain that are related to hoarding. One of the victims was a male who died of thirst and starvation as he could not find his way out of his stuff to get water. His “stuff” were actually rubbish he collected through the years.

Zzzzzzz

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

You might not believe it but snoring is a major cause of splits among couples here in the UK and am sure, anywhere in the world. I just don’t have actual statistics (because that, I think is impossible to get accurately). Suffice it to say that a lot of couples who go to marriage therapists Read More …

Hosiery by Trickery

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Have you ever been tricked by a company before? How did you feel?
Recently, I signed up to receive a pair of hosiery offered by a company for free. It was part of their promotion, I supposed. There was no mention of any purchase to be made as far as my understanding of the promo materials Read More …

New HotMomma Invention
And so the Christmas season is over and with it, the gluttony, er, over eating we indulged in. It is time to shed those extra pounds and make ourselves believe that 2009 is just the best year to slim down and take control of our health. And HotMomma declares this is the right Read More …

Beautiful Thoughts for a Beautiful 2009 (Part II)

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

That was a long interlude there, my friends. While I was raving about starting the year right with beautiful thoughts, my blog posting statistics speak of a rather dismal start to the new year. Eight days of 2009 have gone by and this is just my second post, tsk, tsk, tsk!
I hope you are still Read More …

Beautiful Thoughts for a Beautiful 2009

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

I hope everybody had a grand time welcoming the new year and saying goodbye to 2008 (with all its woes, worries and its triumphs, too). We gathered in a friend’s house and watched the London party and 12-minute fireworks on TV. We had loads of food (of course we could not even finish a third Read More …
