yesterday, today, and tomorrow
when friends all the way from frankfurt pack their kids and (in tet’s case) car and make the hour trip just to say hello and play with jan, it always helps drive the winter gloom away. never mind that i didn’t have the proper gastronomic offering. never mind that not a single item is left unturned in jan’s room, leaving not so much as a square foot of bare floor you can walk on. never mind that jan chose to display his artistic talents by drawing on the whole length of the sofa. never mind that the neighbors were probably wondering if i’ve turned my living room into a ktv room, our thin walls not withstanding the beats, thumps and mooning over abba’s dancing queen. with such company, it takes little else to make a day so much fun! thanks for coming over, guys!

i’ve just voted for doc emer’s site and i implore you to improve the less than 2% advantage (when i casted my vote) and do so, too. doc emer’s parallel universes brings medicine and science on a level palatable and unimposing to the common mind. aside from merely reporting the facts, he also includes snippets of personal info that makes his blog an even more interesting read. but until today, i’ve just realized i didn’t even have doc emer on my links; gotta rectify that. i’ve always simply jumped from some other blog or another to his; just goes to show how popular and how well-read doc emer’s is. absolutely no reason he shouldn’t get a clean, clear win.

i’ve been giving my new year gameplan quite a big deal of thought, but am still stuck as i have never been one to make new years resolutions. i can remember i made one last year, and the only reason i remember it at all is because i made it rhyme: “clutter no more in 2004!” well, if you’ve checked our flat recently, you’ll see that i haven’t made much progress. until i can convince hubby to throw the collection of time magazines dating back to 2001 (he wouldn’t accept my argument that everything’s available on the net, anyway), i don’t think i’ll be able to make much headway into clearing this apartment of a lot of junk. aaaargh! but i swear, there’s no way in heaven i’ll be lugging all these stuff WHEN we move to a new place!

Ruth: Your reference to abba just made me smile. You see, my daughters (especially the the 4-yr old) have discovered abba’s songs and are liking them! Kitschy? Di bale na.

justice: parang snobbed ang carpenters this time (tama ba? carpenters yong top of the world, di ba?)
shy mango: they’re doing a lot of abba revivals these days. hindi naman kitschy. cute nga eh, especially with little girls! pag mga ka-age natin, bordering on pathetic and downright ludicrous na, haha!!!

Naku, get this: hindi revival yung ABBA na gusto ng mga anak ko. Buti nga nakahanap ako ng CD kasi, minsan narinig ako ni liit na kinakanta+gitara and dancing queen. Aba’y nakasampung ulit na yata kami ng chorus ng kanta, e di pa sila nagsasawa! Ngayon, ayan gasgas na yata yung CD sa kau-ulit nila…

Ahh, Dancing Queen — it brings back memories of karaoke with friends with matching dance steps. I’m sure the kids will thank you in the future for introducing them to good, fun music.

yupki, er, i don’t know. maybe if we had original cd’s like shy mango, yes, but as it was, we were doing a massacre of it at the magic mic, hehe…
