THIS GOES OUT TO...

The one and only DJ in my life.
My girls (flying in and driving out).
The month of August.
8/28
My 28th year.



We don't care if the sun comes up.
'Cause you know I'll be dancing with the DJ.


......


I can't take it. July has officially turned my brain to mush. So for now, I'll just have August to look forward to and this song to keep me from losing my mind.

On loop.

Home is where the heart is.

Our first home as a young and happily married couple and my own Warhol-inspired picture - a birthday gift from my husband.

The Kitchen and Dining Room

The Living Room (and Law & Order on TV)

.....

The Bedrooms... are private. =)

.....

And even though it took my car AND my TV to get stolen in my previous, ghetto of an apartment (because I was a self-inflicted pauper who valued independence more than luxury) in order for me (and my loving family) to realize that I needed a serious living space upgrade, I nevertheless, consider those two unfortunate incidents a productive and divine catalyst of sorts.

A quaint and lovely little condo where my daughter can be safe and my husband and I can feel secure (and take the awesome-ass MRT to work) in exchange for a car and a TV... not a bad deal at all.

(Oh but how losing my hatchback hurt! *cringes at the memory*)

I guess in a waaaaaaay *sigh* ... it's cool that God took away that excess so I can better appreciate the more important things in life.

Like the utilization, appreciation, and utter maximization of public transportation.

And can I just say that I love the MRT and the fact that my office is north bound thus opposite the mad rush of those headed to the CBD all located on the dirty dirty south. And God love the siomai places located on the station so I can grab dinner just before I have to go up to our condo. And thank you for the exercise being car-less allows me to have now that I'm happily forced to make that 20-minute walk from the office to the MRT station (with KFC along the merry way).

It's more than I could've ever wished for at 27.

Ok... maybe our condo could use the wonder that is THE FRIKKIN' PAINT ZOOM. (I so want one, it's not even funny.)

One of these days, I'm going to paint our condo and all of our walls RED and there ain't nothin' anyone (not even my husband who I love to pieces) can do about it. =)

BECAUSE TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO EMOTE.

Man, these rainy days and knowing that I finally found "the one" makes this semi-old emo favorite all the more special (cue 19-year old self smoking a pack of cigs and drinking laced coffee whilst staring off into space asking self, "when will it be me?")



Don't wanna be alone no more
I'm telling you what I need
I want...
Someone who loves me for me...

Rainy Days and Saturdays

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Psyche goes to her room, sprawls onto her bed, on her tummy, onto the cold sheets, Justin Bieber poster hanging awkwardly on her wall, iPod in hand, and sings Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" at the top of her lungs... and I think to myself as I sneak a peek from behind the door, that that's how I used to spend my days... bed, music, walls, and my poster boy.

And she actually just came into my room so I can look for Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and ran right back out...

To emote.

.......

And I hope, with and whether whatever technology, be it a radio, an old desktop pc, Windows Media Player, iTunes, walkman, cassette player, CD player, or iPod Touch 4... she still finds the time and the solace to go to her room and daydream to her favorite songs.

Especially on rainy Saturday afternoons.

***My husband's so talented. *giggles* I totally influence his writing. =P

Michelle.

One night, President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the president’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you?” She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant,” to which Michelle responded, “No. If I had married him, he would now be the President.”

One of the things that attracted me to Barack was his emotional honesty. Right off the bat he said what he felt. There are no games with him—he is who he appears to be. I feel fortunate as a woman to have a husband who loves me and shows me in every way. - Michelle Obama, Prevention.com

Me, too Michelle. Me, too.
