Crabs. People close to me know that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CRABS.  I love them and I am very patient when it comes to de-shelling crabs (and most crustaceans).  I make sure that I take out every meat that I can from these crustaceans.  When everyone else doesn't want to get their hands dirty I am the exact opposite when it comes to crabs.  I don't care if I'm in formal attire (let's say it a wedding reception with Chinese lauriat) I WILL NEVER TURN DOWN eating and de-shelling crabs. My Panget, well - he's really tamad to de-shell.  He's very lucky that I LOVE to de-shell, well I don't mind to make himay for him.  Honestly, I don't mind making himay for anyone (just make sure you feed me more crabs! Hahaha). So last Wednesday, I gamely joined Gerry and Donny.  Secretly, I was very excited - I was telling my kids that I will be going to the mall to eat some crabs!  And EAT I did!  Hahaha!  I'm so lucky that I don't have any allergies when...

First quarter is almost up.  As of the moment, Kailee is taking her quarterly exams.  She's adjusted pretty well to waking up at 5:30am to eating some breakfast (if you can call a buttered pandesal, a piece of cocktail hotdog, and cereals), playing with classmates and learning.  I am mighty proud of how she is becoming.  She's quite friendly saying *Hi* and waving to friends when I bring her to school and *Bye (insert name of classmate)* when I pick her up in school.  She remembers the names of most of her classmates and even tells me which colored table they sit it.  In my opinion, she's doing well in school. One day though, she told me that one of her classmates told her to *Shut Up*.  I asked her why, it was because she told this classmate to keep quiet so this classmate can concentrate on her seat work.  I think I was more affected than Kailee.  In her 5 years and and 5 months of living, I've never EVER said those words to her and now...

I honestly can NOT live without alcohol.  I remember when I went to Beijing to study, this was one thing that I made sure to bring.  Apparently, there's no alcohol in China.  Can you believe that?!  Oh my, when I learned this, I had friends and friends of friends bring me bottles of this.  Don't ask me how many bottles of alcohol I used up.  Hahaha!! Biogenic Alcohol left quite an impression on me.  I remember about 10 years ago, they were they only alcohol brand that was packaged in a spray bottle.  It was the spray bottle that attracted me to them.  I don't remember looking at the price, I just always grabbed one in the supermarket because it was so convenient to use.  I wish the spray bottle and the brand was available during my schooling days - it was so easy to use! So, when I received an invite from Nikki to attend the My Biogenic World event in Market! Market!  I immediately said yes.  I LOVE ALCOHOL.  I use it ...
