was sitting at my desk yesterday and a colleague of mine comes with a bunch of roses. 'take one, a little something to brighten your day' he said. I was very surprised. I picked one and thanked him. I had thought that someone had given him a bunch of roses for some reason of other and he decided to distribute it among the girls. that actually happened a few times at my workplace. it was

olympics olympics olympics!! such a waste of time I tell ya!! you think you can just keep the tv on in the background and do something more fruitful with your time right? wrong!!! this does not happen with the olympics. you get sucked in!! watching skiier after skiier come down that stupid slalom course. watching stupid bobsleds slide down one after another. is this actually entertaining? mildly

so the winter olympics is here. do you get excited when the olympics comes around? there really is magic around the olympics. resulting in hours wasted in front of the tv. the drama. the pressure.but this olympics, the talk has been on michelle kwan. the darling on the ice. I've watched all her olympic skates. unfortunately although she is such a beauty to watch on ice, the jumps have always

so here I was minding my own business. and a chinaman asks me if I am chinese. yes, he is a chinaman. no I don't usually call them chinamen but this one was asking for it. people from mainland china always feel the to urge to chat up chinese looking people. maybe they like talking to their own kind. anyway, back to the chinaman. 'are you chinese?' he asks. different from the usual 'you chinese?'

chicken. do you love chicken? I love fried chicken wings, deep fried breaded chicken drumsticks, spicy chicken vindaloo, juicy chicken curry, tender chicken tandori, ayam masak merah and on and on and on. I actually like the taste of pork better. darn the trichinosis! anyway, before I sound like a meat craving freak, what led me here is this post on how chicken tastes different here. supposedly

watched sayuri not too long ago. I know next to nothing about geishas. supposedly the real geishas are enveloped in secrecy. one has to be introduced into the world of geisha. outsiders can only ponder from afar. hence, I have nothing to say about the portrayal of geishas in the movie. geishas are supposed to be artists and are themselves an artform and by no means are they courtesans. that is my

so the linz family won. I was rooting more for the bransens in the end. but I guess it's all fair since the linzes still have their backpacks while the other 2 teams are carrying plastic bags. somehow, curling doesn't look so hard. heh! but that bata shoe museum was surprising. not just because it sounds so ridiculous. trying to find 2 women out of 200?? at least that's what I understood from the

I suppose it was bound to happen. with the reported widespread discrimination. but even without such outright discrimination, there is discontent among immigrants in other EU countries. even without blatant discrimination, being the minority can be difficult.

hurricane wilma is long gone. not so the woes she left behind. it really has been a tough year. watching the whining plastered on tv shortly after wilma came through made it even worse. the long lines for water and supplies. people complaining about how they were beyond disappointment. how they don't understand why the government still can't get it right. so wilma has just come and gone.
