Snow pictures taken a week and a half ago. It's all gone now. The rain washed it all away. There's about a cup of slush left in my front lawn, that's about it. As much as I hate having to wash and/or blow dry Charlie after playing outside, we really enjoy watching her hop like a little bunny and waddle like a duck when she's in our backyard full of snow. Simple joys of life.

And another one.

T celebrated his birthday quietly. He has always wanted it this way. A few moments with family, sometimes with very few selected friends. We went out for pizza (one of his favourite foods) with a couple of friends, then coffee, followed with a few rounds of tequila (pffftt... what's that?) Mario Kart at home :) I didn't have a present for him. (Worst girlfriend award of the year,

When she e-mailed me and asked to use my pictures on their BLOG, I thought I was gonna go into cardiac arrest... I got so excited. OF COURSE I SAID YES! It would be totally stupid to say no.

Being a few steps ahead feels good. Now I have time to slow down and enjoy a cup of cinnamon hot cocoa in front of the TV yule log... in my pajamas, with uncombed hair and all. My kind of holidays.

I was one of the lucky ones who got to see WATCH THE THRONE. Vancouver was Jay-Z and Kanye's last stop. I was one of the most luckiest because I was supposed to sit at the upper level aka nosebleeds section but somehow was upgraded to floor seats. FLOOR FUCKING SEATS...within spitting distance of the stage. OMG, I was hysterical when Jay-Z rose like god from behind, but not like

Krispy Kreme donuts Late night dilemma. Situation: A giant box of freshly picked, bright Mandarin oranges given by our neighbour and half a dozen of glossy, delicious, intoxicating sweet smell of Krispy Kreme donuts that I bought sitting side by side on my kitchen counter. Which one did I choose? You know. I'm only human.

I'm glad the power didn't go out in our area and nobody was hurt despite all the news about trees crashing into people's houses. It was just last week

So here's our pumpkins last halloween. I know its a bit late posting it but better late than never, right? Right? First time we bought a white pumpkin. A trick-or-treater, a boy, asked if I painted it. I told him I bought it like that already and that white pumpkins do exist. I don't think he believed me. Another boy, a bit more grown-up, said "Hey, very cool pumpkin". He loved T's Angry

I'd even hand feed you your hay :) I just noticed that they have horizontal pupils. Cool and weird at the same time. I just found out about this and little brother says "You didn't know that?!?!" Well I didn't, okay?! Our house in the Philippines was
