Mother-Daughter Silly Incidents

I was holding my bottle of Centrum pills with one hand a pitcher filled with water in another hand. I was talking to my Mom and thinking in my head that I needed to fill the glass with water so I can drink my vitamins. I unconsciously lifted the pitcher and was about to pour the water in to the bottle of pills which I thought was the glass. I caught myself in time.

My mom started laughing and told me an incident that just happened to her recently.

She was in the kitchen talking to my Dad and at the same time cracking eggs into a bowl. While she was talking she got an egg cracked it and put the egg yoke into the SINK and the shell into the bowl with the other egg yokes and only realized that when she started mixing the contents in the bowl.

We had a good laugh over our silliness. =)

I think my Mom's happy I did that silly thing too...Coz to her it means she's not showing signs of "Oldness or Aging"...HEHEHEHEH....

November 29

It's no longer a matter of months.
It is now only a matter of weeks.
It is a matter of 23 days.

I have 2 weeks of work left.
This coming week and then the next week.
Which means that the week after is the last week before the BIG DAY!

I'm excited.
I'm nervous.
I'm overwhelmed.

I want to think about it.
I want to forget about it.

I'm looking forward to meeting Bayu.
I'm having a good time spending time with my family - Tonight we went to eat in a Thai restaurant and walk around at J Avenue. The cool weather made it a perfect evening.

Strawberry Shortcake

I could see that my student was teary eyed. She was lifting her face skyward as if to let the tears back into the the tear ducts. I asked her what was wrong. She said she misses her parents. I knew that her parents went to Australia for the week and she was staying with her maid. I also knew they were coming back today and so I told her. "Well, you should be happy! They'll be back today. " She replied "Not if the airport is closed!"

Christmas Tree

Everyone in The Village makes their hand print and then it will be put together to make a Christmas Tree which will be one of the main decorations for our Christmas Program.

Bridal Facial.

I just had a facial. It was sooo goood. I took a pictures but it's too ugly.


I'm having 2 more sessions of facials plus body scrub, manicure, pedicure, etc. etc.

They shall help my days to pass by quickly.

I went to my first concert last night and my first facial today.

Hungry and Blessed

After work the day before yesterday (yes, Tuesday) I got a call from Hazel through Dolly's phone to ask if I wanna meet them to eat at Ton Krueng. It's a delicious Thai restaurant near JJ Avenue Thonglor soi 15 or something.

I went there by taxi and the taxi driver was very talkative. He was telling me that he get around 500 to 1000 Baht income per day. And he wants to save up 30,000 Baht. He wanted to save that up and he was so excited.

I just smiled and gulped my saliva down. Here I am listening to a man who has to drive around Bangkok for hours and hours to get 500 Baht which I will be spending with Dolly and Hazel for our Dinner. *Gulp..HAHAHA..Yeah..and for that 30,000 he plans to save...well someone of can earn that in 2 or 3 months.

It didn't make me lose my apetite, but I realize that I am blessed and fortunate and there's no need for me to complain about lacking anything =)

I didn't take any of the Thai food but we ate at Swensens afterwards.
