Farewell Miko…

May 29, 2006

You may not understand why some people have cried over their dog's death. The grief I'm going through… After living with dogs all my life, I realized that it is one of the cruelties in this world that the longevity of our dogs is shorter than ours.

What does your SIGN say about you?

AnnaChu is one of the greatest people in my life. Millions of men were down on their knees crying helplessly the day she got married. She fell in love with a French (boy band) guy in New York (Viva La France Eric! hehehe). I was so thankful to have witnessed such true love celebrated in a beautiful wedding.

The party erupted with drunken cheers. The bartender, who was fixing yet another round of shots for the group, looked perplexed. He shouted above the din. “We are running out of Bacardi Limón”. “Not a problem, we'll change our drinks after this round”. There were serious grinding actions as the revelers shake their booties and sing ”I shot you down, Bang Bang. You hit the ground, “Bang, Bang”….

Run Wild…

May 3, 2006

I spent a couple of days at the hospital convincing everyone that everything was peachy keen. “Doc, have you seen me naked? You'll know what I'm talking about when I take off my shirt.” My very words to my doctor friend who promised to have me sent to the basement if I don't put on weight. Let's be realistic, you think I would have the perefect abs if I actually ate like an ordinary Joe? No way! I spend hours at the gym five times a week so I can have the Abercrombie look…
