My Beautiful Okasan, the Lovable Contradiction

She is not one whom you'd call a typical housewife. She is no soft ultra feminine woman with the perfectly coiffed hair. She is an Amazon. She is strong and opinionated. She gets things done--and done to her exact specifications--while she donned a frilly woman's blouse, form-hugging pencil skirt, and high heels. She is the epitome of the 21st century woman. And she was, and still is, awesome to behold. I miss her tons. And I know she misses us, too. But this is the way of the world. And people have to plod on and be strong somehow. But we love her still. Oh yes, we love her a whole darn lot. And I just wanna yell to the world how proud I am she's my mom, this strong and capable woman who have made me strong and independent... who have made me "me". :D

We love you, Ma.

And this may be a day late, but I hope you had a great birthday!

I just found this old photo of her. She was so pretty in it I couldn't resist sharing. :P

You see, I collect books I think I want to read and just dump them in boxes whenever my bed becomes too crowded and start to smell like an old library. So I have tons of books I've had for years but never really read. Lately though, I've been rummaging inside the aforementioned boxes because people have been asking to borrow some of my books. And the nerd in me gets excited when I get to convince people to read... so rummaged the boxes, I did. And in ...

Pardonnez-moi

It has never been much of a secret to people, or to myself, that I can be quite brutal when stating facts. Sometimes, I'm just too impatient to find ways to skirt around hurtful words and just bluntly say things that pop into my head. In short, I'm usually tactless. Other times, I'm just plain careless. But contrary to what most people probably think of me, I don't like nudging people's sensibilities. I don't like stepping on other people's toes either. And this might be a hard concept to grasp, but some people do know how to make up their own minds... and stand by them--come hell or high water. And I am one of them. I don't know why?! But with every set of friends I make, this concept seems to be quite hard for them to swallow. Why?! I just want to dodge those seemingly inescapable monikers "bitch" or "ice queen" for a change. Is that so hard to comprehend?! Yes, I know. Some people find it irresistible to goad me because I'm a p...

Funny Day

This surprised me when I pressed "home" on my net browser.  Strange, but cute. ^_^ Grazie, Google! I guess? And no, I still don't celebrate it. Haha!
