Random Ramblings

I will be using bullets this time - kinda lazy - maybe because of the weather!!
  • Finally saw Die Hard 4.0 with my Panget last night (using his portable hard drive) - and it was great!! I enjoyed the movie so much - that I now know why it's Joey and Chandler's favorite movie of all time.
  • Caught Disturbia last Tuesday night - kinda dragging at first - and the female lead? Well, her head is quite big for her body shape... Hmmm... The lead up was quite long though... The movie was okay - I was actually expecting more.
  • Finally caught a glimpse of Marimar last night - Marian Rivera is very pretty!! She seems promising in her role! Dingdong Dantes seemed like he was left in the oven too long!!
  • Found out a way to relieve my lower back pains - stretching my right leg!!
  • Went to National Bookstore yesterday to buy my stash of Panda's scented blue pens. ( I just had to say this)
  • Slow work week! Seemed like everything was in slow motion. Maybe because of the rain!
Highlight of the day:

Had really good Pepper Crabs for lunch - My mom (who's a great cook by the way) prepared them. Yummy!! :)

This is the best picture from my camera phone!!
We all couldn't wait to eat them!!

    Ooohh I want those crabs! I've been slightly crab-obsessed lately, plus it's almost 4 pm and I haven't had lunch. Have a great long weekend Didi! :)

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
