106. Zoei loves Gaga
June 25, 2010Putting Zoei to sleep has been a challenge lately.
Sitting up on her own and standing up with the assistance of the crib’s railings are some skills Zoei discovered a couple of weeks ago. And because of this, putting her to sleep has been a challenge. We even wake up in the middle of the night with her standing already, banging her pacifier on the wooden part of the crib. She knows how to attract attention.
Until Zoei’s yaya discovered a potent lullaby; Lady Gaga.
Her favorites are Bad Romance and Love Game. Whenever she hears these songs, she quickly falls asleep. Sometimes she even sleeps to No body But You.
I wonder what kind of subconscious side effects these songs are doing to her.
105. Swiss Miss bliss
June 4, 2010Damn I am a Swiss Miss person indeed.
I love me some Swiss Miss, especially on rainy days like this. I just want to go home, wear my comfy clothes and watch TV with a mug of warm Swiss Miss. No Marshmallows for me okay?
Though, I have to tell you, I wasn’t always a marshmallow hater. There was a time swore off the yummy drink. I was in highschool back then and I always drink a mug before going to school. There was this one time, when I was so sleepy, I opened a pack and poured the contents into a mug before pouring hot water. I stirred the chocolate drink for a while together with the marshmallows and minutes later, I was set.
After consuming half a mug, I realized that I wasn’t really paying attention while I prepared the drink. Instead of marshmallows, the white bits floating around were actually maggots. I raced outside the house trying to delay the vomit that was building up until I puked to my heart’s content. After that unfortunate day, I swore I would never drink Swiss Miss ever again.
Until a couple of years ago when I found out that there was a variant without marshmallows when I started to pick up the habbit again.
Now, I am a Swiss Miss person again, sans the marshmallows.
104. Brain Storming for Grey’s
May 21, 2010Spoiler Alert!!
I know you guys don’t care much for Grey’s Anatomy but you’ve got to hand it to those drunk writers who said, “fuck it, there’s too many characters in this show. Let’s have a fucking shooter in the hospital who hates surgeons and let him roam around shooting these drama queens/kings. Then let him kill himself at the end”.
And a writer, who totally hates Meredith goes, “make that damn whore miscarry while performing a damn operation on one of her colleagues who got fucking shot.”
Then, they all high-fived and drank some more beer.
103. KIDS HATE BROCCOLI
May 20, 2010Zoei loves pureed food.
She could finish a small bottle in a day and she’d be completely happy laughing and dancing while consuming the bottled food. Interestingly though, after tasting most of the pureed vegetables and fruits, we bought her another variant - Broccoli. And you know what?
She hates it with a passion of a thousand burning suns. I’m not kidding. Kids, I think, are genetically wired to hate Broccoli. Well, that or she just takes after her mom and swore the good fight against this type of vegetable.
Oh, by the way, she loves squash.
