Since I find myself awake at odd hours these days, I’ve taken to becoming an even bigger news junkie reading updates from all over the place. Which, of course, begins with my politico fix but invariably leads me to the lifestyle, fashion/style and entertainment news. And like millions of others, some of best times of [...]

Baby Q: The first month
Posted in About Life, adventure, chapters, emo-ments, Life in the Town House, life learnings, Motherhood, motherhood lessons, muse & musings, new things, Q on April 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The first four weeks passed in a blur, if I was going to be truly honest with myself. Days were broken up into feeding blocks: nursing for about an hour, interact with the baby then put the baby to sleep, eat and shower to feel human, catch a fifteen minute breather (if possible) then wash, [...]
Boyz II Men again?
Posted in muse & musings, music, tagged ahmir, david sides, music on February 20, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This Girl used to be a big Boyz II Men fan. She had all their albums, watched them in concert when they came by and loved the fact that they were known as a “vocal harmony group.” They came and went, as those of you in her age range would know. They had beautiful voices, [...]
footprints in the sand

Footprints in the sand used to be one of This Girl’s favourite allegorical poems: One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was [...]
fringe findings

As an ex X-phile, This Girl has enjoyed watching the JJ Abrams TV offering Fringe, a (on the borders of science) sci-fi mystery show chronicling events that flit on the edge and, hence, fringe of mainstream science. It contemplates cases like aliens, mind reading, time traveling and, like in the latest episode, blue blood. Most [...]
hallelujah

This girl has to be honest that while she’s sad that the world’s rather ravaged by a series of natural disasters like Haiti, she’s finding it hard to muster up much emotion about it. Perhaps its a little far from home, or that concurrently, there’re also a million other groups that need money, attention and [...]

fashion peeves

This girl will be the first to admit she’s not really a fashionista. Well, she’s got nice enough clothes, she dresses for the occasion well enough and she has a fair sense of what looks good on her, her body type. For example, she avoids yellow and mustard since it makes her look jaundiced. She’s [...]
pregnancy week 28: entering the last leg
Posted in 3rd Trimester, Life in the Town House, life learnings, politics, pregnancy, pregnancy weekly, tagged 2nd trimester, pregnancy on January 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Time seems to have flown and This Girl finds herself stepping into the last trimester with a lot of exhaustion and the knowledge that a lot more needs to be done. Her mental preparation has been going pretty alright; in particular she loves what her pre-natal yoga teacher repeatedly reminds them (especially when they are [...]
weighing in: Tiger Woods
Posted in opinions, tagged choices, infidelity, marriage, tiger woods on December 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The Boy and The Mother are ardent Tiger Woods fans. They would read his books, unabashedly support him when he plays in any tournament, stay up or record his games and watch them; The Mother would set her alarm for 4am to watch him play. In particular, The Boy has all the Tiger Woods championship [...]
Melbourne 2009: where did the bump come from!?
Posted in 2nd Trimester, funnies, pregnancy, travel on November 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This Girl is a little over five months pregnant and she’s had what The Mother terms a “neat” pregnancy. From the back, she pretty much looks the same, her arms, face, legs and general overall body size has remained the same. Ok, ok, the boobs are fuller but no one complains about that, really. But [...]

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 [...]
Truths for a world caught in relativism
Posted in causes, GOoD things, writings, tagged biblical truths, fox news on November 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When this girl was in college/university, she double majored in Political Science and Psychology; her honours thesis was an amalgamation of both schools (political psychology) where she studied the impact of foreign policy on domestic opinion and elections. She keeps a pulse- as far as she can, anyway- on this world is racked with such [...]
lost generation: are we inspired?

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 a youth herself; [...]
