Zong

If there is one thing I try to avoid eating, it would be Chinese food. Why? Its because I grew up practically dining in noodles, chop suey, beef with broccoli, dimsum, steamed fish and ending always with one dessert almond jelly with lychee. Birthdays and special occasions were often celebrated at places called Jade Garden or San Jancito Panciteria. Back then, I always found the dishes bland and everything tasted alike.. they all tasted like sesame oil. It did not take me long to have taste buds stress.

In The Face of Adversity

I just have to write about this. Please indulge me.
Last night, while Warren was in the middle of a heated exchange with his elder brother, I sat by my husband’s side watching his facial expressions closely, each time I’d see his eyes flicker and dim, albeit only for split seconds, I’d prod him to tell me what had just transpired. I kept on prodding and did not give up, purposefully because I wanted my husband to immediately release the pain by sharing the impact with me. I wanted him to feel that I wanted to share the moment with him, no matter how ugly, because we are one flesh.

War!

The last two days have been burdensome for Warren. He even blogged about it yesterday while he was feeling downtrodden. I stood beside him trying to give him comfort and assured him that he is doing the right thing, but for a man who looked up to his family as his lifeline for 29 years, my words of comfort – no matter how Scripture-based- are just not enough.

He may be in pain but I am so proud of Warren because he continues to stand his ground even up to this minute, by God’s grace. He repeatedly declined the offer for him to be godfather to his nephew who is scheduled for baptism, under Catholic rites, in two weeks. We both thought that after making that clear to everyone, life will go on as usual. Well, we were wrong.

New Flats

Somewhere in the middle of this month, my mom bought me new flats.

It’s somewhat a big change since my old flats are in the verge of breaking apart. Even so, I like them.

I really liked the old flats because there more of like modern and simple-yet-lovely ensemble. I also fell in love at love at first sight and they were my first.The nearest thing I got to them were actually penny-loafers or Oxfords, which I prefer to be high-heeled as those men’s shoes in the Pirates of the Caribbean.
