People have asked This Girl and The Boy if they know if they are expecting a girl or a boy. And when they say they have no idea and wish to be surprised at the end of the pregnancy journey people think they’re nuts.
But seriously, there’s a certain fun-ness with not knowing. And, truth is, [...]

An old classmate had one of the most harrowing- and traumatic- pregnancies. Her little girl had organs in the wrong places, liver and lungs had not progressed as per normal and she knew, even in the months and weeks leading up to the birth, she, her little girl, her husband and friends and family were [...]

Brunei Princess and one of their interns showed this girl this video clip; its not new, really, its been blogged about, shared on facebook and received its fair amount of due press from the general online community.
This girl spent pretty much the last 15 years working with youths. First, while as [...]

Its been a crazy day and the people this girl has had to meet with today really tested her patience. Like REALLY. R.E.A.L.L.Y. tested her patience. Even The Boy who’s got infinitely more patience than she does, especially lately with her pregnant brain and moods, found himself so annoyed his ears began to heat up. [...]
Not at ground zero this year
Posted in just me, life learnings, life rules, travel, tagged 911, ground zero, new york on September 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Two years ago this day, this girl stood at ground zero. She watched protesters set against the backdrop of families and friends who came to remember loved ones they lost when the twin towers and the Pentagon was hit in the world’s most public and daring act or terrorism.
Then 911 happened, this girl was in [...]

This girl’s 29th birthday passed queitly and with little fanfare- time with family and take away crab noodles from the famous Melben Crab place and loads of laugh. Over the week prior and the week after, this girl cut 5 separate cakes with different groups of friends and ate far too much.
And as she celebrates [...]

Bonds are a funny thing- it transcends time, space all of the other good stuff. Kinda like how when we find a new old friend on facebook- its a mildly surreal feeling, in particular when said person is from a life past.
This girl saw this on TV the other day, the story of Christian the [...]

Posted in emo-ments, life learnings, writings, tagged NY Times on July 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The NY Times (online or otherwise) has great articles. Mr. Toesocks, from the bowels of Uganda would read it as religiously as possible (in particular the fashion section- for good writing, no less) on the many days he spends at the club where they have internet. Kungfu Master is another one and a while back he sent [...]

Its been another tiring week- busy with clients and projects and little time for much personal rest. At least this girl managed some stolen time away with Brunei Princess and Warrior Princess (oh my goodness, she just realized there’s a lot of princess-ness happening) where they mixed work and some girl time out at a [...]

Temple medium abuses girl for seven years. Monk faces charges for embezzelment. Religious leader faces sexual assult charge. Pastor comes under fire for controversial music video. The news these days seems rampt with news on religious leaders getting setting poor examples for the flock they seek to lead. Some, even, betraying and abusing people left [...]

This girl and The Boy were unfortunate guests at a friends wedding recently where they literraly bit their lip for most part of the wedding.
It was a gaudy wedding with a clash of off-bridal colours- seriously, unless its on a pair of fraternal twins, its never really ok to have baby pink and baby blue [...]

A friend recently posted something she read from a couple-couple book called His needs, Her needs; that aspires to help couples build an affair-proof marriage. According to the writer, one Dr. Haley, couples need to learn to understand each other’s needs. One review site writes:
“This book is simply amazing. The premise of the book is [...]
couple sleeping positions

This girl came across an article a while back that talks about how how a couple’s sleeping position together reflects their relationship. She could never find the actual article again, but she’s pieced together what she could find.
(From Top Row: Left to Right)
The Spoon: “Semi-foetal, genitals against buttocks”, this position provides both of you with [...]

The whole Susan Boyle phenom has taken the world by storm and many are touting that she’d win the latest season of Britain’s got talent. This girl has watched the youtube video of the broad (how English is that word!) when The Boy read about her on a news channel. And truthfully, she’s pretty amazing [...]

While Mickey Mouse is a childhood icon, this girl was never really a fan of the Hollywood rodent, prefering Donald Duck instead. The underware-less fowl (though he wears a towel to cover his modesty after he takes a bath) is funnier, more absurd and ultimately more entertaining.
Anyway, this girl read a news article that the [...]
