Spaghetti ala Randamok

I tried making spaghetti following Rand's receipe.
It didn't turn out to be as good as his b/c I used
1) ground pork instead of ground beef
2) white mushrooms instead of shitake mushrooms
3) fettuccine noodles instead of spaghetti

*sigh*

Guess I should stick with my sweet spaghetti recipe ala Jollibee.

Over Speeding

I couldn't believe we were pulled over but we didn't get a ticket after all.
Sarah was driving 105mph on highway 5 but then she lowered to 90mph on
210 towards San Bernardino, that was when we got pulled over.
For some reason, my sis has a deceiving charm for cops.
Cop: Can I see your driver's license? How come you were driving 90mph?
Sarah: Oh, I'm sorry but I was hurrying to take the next exit
b/c my daughter needs to throw up
My half asleep niece: Mom, my tummy hurts
Cop: Ok let her throw up now...I should not be doing this but I'll just give you
a warning and know your speed limit.

...and she ended up asking him for directions.

The Look


Simple smile

Quiet strength

Gives me a look

with those eyes

that echo

the sonnets of angels

without a sound.

The Way To Be A Woman

Maybe it's time to stop believing in fairy tales and happily ever after.
Finding a life partner, someone to love who will love you back for the
rest of your life is a tricky business. The problem is that most women
are brought up on the notion that it's supposed to be easy,
it's supposed to be magic, and it's supposed to last the rest of your life.
Maybe that's true in the beginning...but for it to last the rest of your life,
it's going to take a lot of struggling.

Ask the people in long-term loving relationships whether already married
or simply dating, and you'll find that even they suffer emotional setbacks.
Arguments can crop up, jealousy can ensue...and temptation can get to
the best of both men and women. There really is no happily ever after...
in the sense that you can lie back and believe that you will beloved and
vice-versa forever. It's not impossible, certainly, it can happen...
when two people put their minds to committing themselves to their union.

We all have to recognize our own respective weaknesses.
Girls have to realize how vulnerable men are to temptation(especially if he
lives in L.A. with Bobby around and you're in S.F.)...and they have to be on guard.
At the same time, they should also learn that no man is worth losing
their own self-love, respect or esteem. Being with someone
can be a wonderful thing, but not when it is at the expense
of one's own self-worth.
Stick to your guns, girls.
Accept only the best for yourself and nothing less.
Don't be like these women who have said the following:

"I don't want to leave him, because we've been together for so long"

"He doesn't mean to hurt me. He just has a terrible temper.
He's very sorry afterwards"


"I felt he could change for me...so I gave him the best years of my life."


Game Plan For Your Life

It's certainly time for women to start taking charge of their own hearts
and to accept once and for all, that most of the time, men will be jerks,
only if we women are dumb enough to let them. Sad to say, even in
these contemporary times, based on what I've heard, there are still
too many women willing to be that foolish.

Does this mean we should be cynical and cold, and believe that
all men are rats and deserve to go to the sewers?
No, of course not.Love is still a wonderful thing. But falling in love
shouldn't mean losing your mind. A woman should still keep her
wits about her. She should also realize that love can last a long time,
if only both men and women are willing to work at it...
harder than they ever worked at anything.
