Home Alone

I can't quite put my finger on it, but lately, I get this sad lonely feeling every time I get up in the morning. And as much as I'd hate to admit it, the root of it all has something to do with the days moving ever so fast towards the 6th of February. What happens on the 6th? Christine goes off to the East Coast (Connecticut/NYC) and then onto Brazil to attend her cousin's highly anticipated Emperatriz performance at the Annual Carnaval in São Paolo. After the Brazilian festivities, she then returns to Stamford to accompany her niece until March 2nd. I could have packed and gone with her for the trip, but since I no longer have any time off from work left, I'll probably end up jobless when I get back should I choose to take a leave. Therefore, stay in Vegas I will. So why was I getting all sad and lonely again? That's three whole weeks without my wife, the longest we've been apart since getting married. Just the very thought of having to go through a day without her gets me all depressed, imagine what three-weeks will do. You'd probably find me bumping into things like a chicken with it's head cut off: I wouldn't know what to eat, wouldn't know what to wear, and would most likely start wondering where all these bills are coming from and why no one is writing cheques to make them go away. I'd live life aimlessly wandering the streets of Las Vegas while continuously muttering incoherently only to be interrupted by sobs and sudden bursts of wailing. Anyway, drama aside, these coming weeks will suck. Dear wife: please ignore this post and enjoy the trip, and don't forget to score me a pair of Havaianas. In size 11.5 —love, your husband.

During my childhood days, for entertainment, kids would play hide and seek, climb trees, race tadpoles and do silly stuff like blow up the neighborhood cow ranch. But that was because we didn't have all the cool toys that kids have nowadays. And there was no internet. So what do you get when we round up them cool toys + internet along with a bunch of bright and articulate kids? You get "dawambo"—"a blog for children by children". My two nephews and godchild (the token muse) has put up a new weblog of their own, which quite frankly puts some of the review sites out there to shame. Keep up the good work guys and strike it rich, ninong needs a flat screen TV. Heh.

PS. Here's dawambo's logo design pending the kids' approval.

This weekend, me and wifey quietly celebrated our 5-year (Civil) Wedding Anniversary. And before anyone asks why civil, yes, we're one of those couples who also had a church wedding a few months after. We just love each other like that. He-he. Anyway, we decided not to involve too much fanfare and just had lunch at home with everything lovingly prepared by my awesome cook of a wife. With the small amount of time she had, we were able to feast on honey walnut shrimp and her delectable spicy seafood spaghetti. There were other sides (and cake!) of course, but those were the highlights of the meal. And soon after we had our fill, I snuck out to the nearest GameStop to load up on a couple of new games courtesy of the gift card Christine gave me as an anniversary present. So, please excuse me for a bit while I try and figure out how this Iron Chef game works on the DS... Allez cuisine!

Surprisingly, despite my late tendencies of getting out of bed during cold mornings, I arrived at work spot on. To get my brain back to a functional level, I plugged into my iPhone and rocked out to the music of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour (Around the Bend). As I was unconsciously bobbing my head to the beat, I paused and caught myself feeling like an Apple commercial.
