JJ & my kids

About two years ago, when JJ was still with Rudy, working the Morning Crew for Hitz.fm, my kids and I spend most mornings during our drive to school listening to the antics of JJ and Rudy. They would guffaw at the jokes while I maneuvered my way past cars, showing my middle finger at rowdy drivers, cursing under my breath when someone cuts me off. I don't think they understood all the jokes but they laughed whenever JJ cackles. :-) There STILL are some posters of these two dudes around promoting the Gotcha prank calls. I've seen them. I might as well have announced that I am taking their Nintendos away forever when I told them that there will be no more JJ and Rudy. Now, it's JJ and Ean. 'Who?? They fired Rudy?' I assured them that this wasn't the case. The way I am connected to JJ is funny because it's multi-layered like lasagna. One layer after another. There's the cousin who is married to a man who used to go to school with JJ (I think). Then there's me, a blogger, who, like, out-of-the-blue, connected with another mom who reads my blog and we became friends in FB. Then 'anothermom' knows my cousin and also another a friend I've not seen for the longest time. Turns out, 'anothermom' knows JJ intimately. So, there is this whole 'lineage-like' thing going on. Hahahaa. The world is funny and small that way. My cousin, the one married to someone who knows the man, held a birthday bash for her kid and turns out, JJ was there. I introduced the kids but they were too shy to say anything. My elder son is a bigger fan and upon greeting and introduction, he dared ventured out with a 'It's a pity you fired Rudy'. I thought that was brave considering he was tongue-tied. A couple of times, he came over and asked me, 'What do I say?' and I just went.....'er....dono. Just smile, I guess.' So we smiled a lot. After that, we just went home. As we reached home and I was parking the car, my elder son said, 'I can't believe we just met JJ'. I asked, 'Why didn't you ask him anything or talk to him?' Son said, 'But MOOOOOOOMMMM! I don't even know if he has a dog or anything!!' Oh. Quite true. hehehehe. But at least we got this picture. Of all days, I forgot my camera, only with my low-yar phone. So, at least we got this....LOOK! Damn good effect with bubbles some more. WALAU!! :-) All I can say is that he is a downright down-to-earth caring father and husband.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...
