bookcrossing
From Transposable Element, 4 days ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
i’ve been trying to relieve some of our bookshelves of their burden. much as i want to get rid of them, it doesn’t feel right to simply throw books away, so i’ve been looking for places where i can drop or donate them. the national library is an option, but while browsing online, i came across book crossing, and i think it’s cool!
basically, you tag your books, and then set “free” them into the “wild”– park benches, taxi, bus seats, or diner...

bruxism, my foot' or jaw

with all the brouhaha surrounding her botox and thermage treatments, charice should just sing and leave the press to her manager. after openly telling local pres that she had these treatments for cosmetic purposes, it required a lot of quick thinking for her american manager to spin a story for damage control. tmj? bruxism? nice try. but if that were the case, why go to a cosmetologist, er, dermatologist' she’d be better off with a charlotte cosmetic dentist, wouldn’t she'

C

i’m currently writing an article on breast cancer and it makes me want to check term life insurance rates for myself. see, i’m terrified of the big C. i lost my father to it, and many other acquaintances. it could be the age, but i’m hearing of new folks succumbing to cancer on a regular basis of late. and it’s not like i’ve led a health-conscious lifestyle so naturally, i’m worried. sometimes, on morbid moods, i think that it could be just a matter of time.

for a while, my inbox hasn’t been receiving any spam mails, thanks to the selective filter i’ve made that automatically shunts spam mails to the trash bin. however, i’ve noticed that of late, i’ve been getting quite a number of testosterone booster emails again. these people are getting sneaky. must create a new filter.

i’ve been baking gooey sugar-laden cinnamon melts yet again. i think this has become my comfort food, next to sinigang and tocino. and leche flan, and turon. and planters cheeze curls. and giotto and nutella. arrgh, maybe i should add apidexin pills to the list.

trying to declutter when you live with pack-rats is like raking leaves off your lawn before autumn is over. document management system? a friend recommended freedomfiler some time ago, but i’m not convinced it’s really what we need. most of our important documents are organized anyway (alright, semi-organized, but i can still find important docs and am on top of our bill payments); it’s the sheer amount of stuff we have, particularly books and manuscripts, that’s...

first in first out

i’m on another decluttering mode at the moment. i would have called it spring cleaning, except that there is no spring on this side of the earth. i’ve finally been able to convince hubby to part with some of his prized possessions– books– pointing out that until they’ve invented some kind of modern furniture that swallows stuff and regurgitates it as needed, we simply do not have the space to accommodate all our acquisitions. i’m still working on convincing...

wish i had wings

we’ve barely settled in from our last holiday and i’ve already been booking for the next one, this time for the christmas holidays. we figured there’s not much sense waiting for airfares to fall; most likely the prices will go up instead of down anyway, and since we are not that flexible with the dates (jan’s school starts on the first monday of the year), we’re can’t afford to gamble with last minute bookings. i tried to look for online coupons for airlines,...

rainy season

drought is over; rainy season has arrived. and that means: flood time, and yes, in singapore, too! we were not here when orchard road got submerged in knee deep water in flashfloods that were repeated in other parts of the city just a few days later. since we got back from our holidays, the weather has been rather cool, and the last few days, rainy. yesterday was particularly heavy in our area, and the amount of rainfall appeared too much for the drainage systems to handle.
fortunately, floods...
