  • Children’s Books Forever!

    Eight earsplitting knocks and the book master unlocked, Opening the doors at us, she came out quite shocked, “Why you kids walkin’along the damp streets this dark?” Brimming with smiles, eyes oozing with hope, we then spoke, “Let us see, oh please, those castles, those chocolate houses! Can’t wait to meet those geenies that grant…

  • Why B Silent?

    “All my life, without a douBt I’ll give you, All my life..” If not for the B, he must have been the heartthrob of the singing contest. Yes, he’s tall, handsome, and quite young with a deep voice YET with a loud B before his T.  T, an unvoiced consonant, forces B to lose its voice. Simply, T silenced B. Say…

  • The Winning Thought

    Friday, Oct. 1,  2010 Every time I go out, not off to work, I try my best to list (in my head) what’s worth writing about only to find that it’s the simplest thought that truly lingers on- the stranger who told me to take a nap as often as I needed. We were sitting across each…

  • The Best House Episode?!

    I’d say I’m torn among three: M.D. tandem Season 3: Episode 4 -Lines in the Sand Season 4: Episode 11- Frozen Season 5: Episode 4 – Birthmarks These episodes seethed with life because of scathingly honest -occasionally ridiculous- conversations of characters, the crispiest lines mainly from Greg House. You’ll feel like you totally know how each of them…

  • Chased by Shadows

    Fairies blew dust to my eyes that I couldn’t resist opening them as early as 6am today. Yeah, Peter Pan slept beside me, so Tinker Bell jealously pulled my hair. Alas, sweet slumber no more! Surprisingly, Neverland wasn’t a dream, I woke up having it within grasp. “I say, how do you do it(flying)?” John asked. “You just…

  • Do Not Disturb!

    To keep my job, I’ve got to be an expert juggler. Tabs of varied functions need to be served equally, not to mention the favorite corporate term, “urgently“: MS Excel for delivery tracking, MSN messenger for love life, oopps, office communicator I mean, lotus notes for email alerts, notepad for blog drafts,Les Miserables for reading race, longman dictionary as…

  • What’s with Olivia Wilde?

    Watching House started as my way to beat the blues (yeah, a chaotic part of my brain emits loads of this). Hugh Laurie, I fancied, was as manic-depressive and brilliant as House (the role he portrayed). Wiki did confirm my hunch. I was looking forward to seeing a woman in the show who’d inspire or…

  • Reawakening

    What’s the difference between a 25 y/o Issa and a 24 one? A minute. Excuse my humor practice. I’ve been emotional lately that I cry seeing a yellow cake and a yellow bear. Was it a coincidence that I received presents with a touch of yellow? Never mind the question- it’s trivial. What matters is that I’m still alive on…

  • Back To School

    When some consonant clusters and long vowels are still yet to be mastered, would a student be able to learn concepts such as transpiration, precipitation, reproduction and excretion? My tutee’s Geography and Science lessons, Water Cycle and Life Processes respectively, demand that he decode consonants and vowels flawlessly. Not only does he have to keep…
