Andee took time off with her dad today. Diego was on 'day-off' with his Yaya. It was quite surprising that he showed up. It was fairly common that he'd promise a date, let the kids wait in anticipation, then stood them up. This time, he called saying that he'll be right over. Never seen Andee in a hurry to get ready.
6 hours later. Andee was crying. I was in a bad mood. She doesn't want her dad to go. She wanted him over, if not on Christmas, then New Year. I admit I may be the wicked witch here. Inasmuch that I tried to contain myself, I was still rude to him. I can't even stand talking to him. I don't like him asking me questions as if he'd still have control of what I do. It was hard since I don't want Andee being a witness to this. Ako nanaman ang masama!
Where do I stand now? Andee wanted to go out as a family. I don't think I can do it...even for her sake. But for her sake, I'd also rather not lest she hears harsh exchange of words again. I can hear Andee crying over at mama's room. She won't talk to me.
I just had to go out and be alone, or I'll be the next one crying..

Household help!
Received this from a forwarded email. Thought it was both insane and hilarious! Call it Japanese ingenuity! Let your little tyke crawl his way through your living room and help out polishing the floor while he's at it! Great idea, but imagine the dust and other particles he'll be collecting. That's rashes, allergies and asthma all in one package!No.....probably those mop-like thingis are just to make sure the suit's sleeves and legs won't get worn out! hehe.. DUH?!?!

I shall kill your monstah!
Who would have thought that the voice behind Mr. Beaver (The Chronicles of Narnia) would give a great impact and life to the triumphs and trials of the 6'6" Norse warrior of the legendary 8th century 3,000-line long epic poem.Watched Robert Zemekis' Beowulf in 3D at the Imax Theater (Mall of Asia) . Never really paid much attention to this epic in high school english literature-- actually never really understood it! 75% of the class got confused between Beowulf and Grendel, from the name alone, that is, which is hero or foe.
While Robert Zemekis' film adaptation contains and remains faithful to the characters and themes of the actual story, there is also a bit of 'spice' in it which involves Grendel's mother toward the movie's end. Something the would leave the viewers in thought, and something to talk about.
Visually enticing, and since it's in 3D, it gives you heart-stopping adventure and scenes, -- the cobblestones at the beach, the spear from the guard you'd swear is directly pointing inches from your face, the fight between Beowulf and Grendel, with a lot more to drool on (hehe, and you guys out there thought you've got Angelina Jolie!) --Beowulf has to strip, as he says that the 'monstah' does not have any clothing or armour, therefore he has to fight fair! OMG he can fight all he wants! The fight scene happens in all his naked splendor. But of course, it's so fast and so well done that you'd thought you've seen 'it' but...tsk.tsk..too bad...! hahaha! I like this heartwarming scene (umm..not 'exactly' heartwarming 'visually', though) when Beowulf needed to sacrifice his arm in order to slay the dragon and save his queen and mistress. It's the look on his face that makes one feel his desperation! *hikbi*
Three thumbs up! Bravo! Clap! Clap! Clap! Nood tayo ulit!

This post made me think!
This is perhaps one of the hardest posts I ever did. Hehe, my apologies to Fortuitous Faery.. but this really made me think (which I am in dire need!) trying to decipher what to do!!! This was fun! should've finished this last week.... but it's this time of year for overtime at work!!!! Anyway...
I LIKE TO BLOG because....(this is taken from one of my posts way, way back as I was starting with blogging..daya ba?)
"..... Oh well! So far my venture into this blog addiction served me well. It's the best therapy in town. From day one that I decided to open myself up to the WWW, I was able to improve my writing, be a lot more creative, discover new things and most of all, made new friends here and abroad! "
In addition, blogging gives me freedom and the responsibility not to abuse it. Blogging about the right things, opinions, or anything under the sun gives my inner feelings, mind and imagination more than enough space to 'run around'. I blog because it is a diary of events that will remain--- pages won't turn brown or tear, ink won't fade or blot, pictures won't change its colors! I also blog because people out there don't really know me. They get to see the 'real' me.. take it or leave it. Read my post one time and decide whether it's worth it coming back to read more.
I initially blogged because of my art, my kids and my cats--- but now it seems that there is an endless list of possibilities, topics, opinions, etc. that I'd never knew I'd talk about.

ABOUT ME : I blog under my name Reia, in a blog initially put up so I can talk about my art, my kids and my cats, aptly named 'My Scratch Pad' -- a place where cats find satisfaction or relief from stress, as well as where 'humans' use for writing down thoughts, lists, or just doodle. I LIKE TO BLOG because, and I like to quote from one of my posts way, way back-- "..... It's the best therapy in town.

I do try to get the humor out but I also get sentimental at times. One of my favorite family posts are Tears enough to rust metal and Unframed Peacock post for my art.
