The lady who gave birth to me,

also known as,
the lady who wouldn’t stop cooking

has been here a week.

And I have already gained 5 lbs.

The woman needs to stop.

Wait.
I take that back.

It’s Pochero tonight.
Yesterday was Crispy Pata.
And probably Kilawin tomorrow.

My God!
My arteries.
They’re clogging!

PS
–Thank you to all those who greeted my son, on his day.
I truly appreciate it.

My Mom arrives here today, for a visit.
She’s going to be here for 2 weeks.

And as I have always said.

HOME is where MOM is.

It does not matter where that is.
If she’s there, then that’s home.

Now that she’s here,
this can only mean two things.

1.) I am soooo going to have some good food!

and

2.) The kid is sooooo going to get spoiled.

..and maybe Tyler too.

“Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, Ty?”

I was actually asked that question, a couple of years ago,
when we moved here to the States.

You see, I am not quick witted enough.

All I answered was,

“Yes, we do. But we have it in October.”

What I should have said was:

“Yes, we do. But only on Thanksgiving.”

–
I guess I didn’t say the latter because,
everybody perceives Canadians as polite and proper.

But in all honesty, I did not say that answer because,
I live in the States now, and people here have guns.

And they will use them.

So, this Thanksgiving.
I guess I am thankful that I am still alive.

For now.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

I don’t normally endorse a gadget except for this.

See this?

It’s my Verbatim 2G USB Thumb Drive,
I got from Buy.com

What’s special with this thing?
Why am I endorsing it?

Well, not just because I am a geek,
and I like gadgetries.

But also because this thing,
has passed the “idiot” test.

You see, I left this thing in my jeans pocket.
Those jeans went through the Laundry Machine,
which also went through the Dryer.

I was so sure, I lost all my files and whatever was in this thing.

But,
Lo and Behold,
as soon as I plugged it in my PC,
the freakin’ thing still worked.

All files are still files.
All folders are still folders.
All access still accessed.

Even the LED light still worked.

Now how cool is that?

Yes it is very cool.

And I am geeking out about it.

And this is why I am a lonely, lonely man.
With no friends.

Season 2 of Heroes starts tonight.

If I am frothing in the mouth,
does that mean I am excited about this?

If I am doing all my chores now,
does that mean I do not want to be disturbed later
while this is on?

If Milo and Hayden are dating,
does that mean we will call them Mayden or Haylo?

(more…)

Happy Birthday to my sister Evelyn.

You know,
it’s always fun trying to guess
which country you are in everytime I call you.

I wish you all the best, Ate.
