Ozumo is not your traditional sushi house. The oversized restaurant is divided in three environments. First, a large bar seats casual diners and attracts the weekday yuppie crowd. The dimly lit room is usually packed and serves mostly appetizers and small sushi plates. The second space is a slightly brighter dining room with a view of the kitchen. Keep walking and you'll find the third space, a large dining room with tables set around a rectangular sushi bar. Inside, six chefs work busily to prepare all orders. The room has high ceilings and is much brighter thanks to obnoxious spotlights and side lamps. A questionable design choice hangs around the windows; red Christmas rope lights that almost blind you from realizing a beautiful view of the bay hides outside. Granite walls, wood tables and bamboo floors, all in a monochromatic palette, make the room feel somewhat bland. Although the usual intimacy of a sushi restaurant is not what you find at Ozumo, the food lives up to its promise.
The menu
I've been to Ozumo a few times but mostly for sushi and sashimi. This weekend, I wanted to try something different. The menu brings together several types of Japanese food (things you'd most likely never find in the same restaurant if you go to Japan).
Beyond sushi and sashimi, you can order from several appetizers, small plates, salads, hot pots and robata plates. There's also the Omakase, a Japanese version of the Menu Confiance. Sounded pretty good. Unfortunately, when I inquired about it, the waiter apologized saying they were not doing it that day (Saturday night, go figure). He offered a tasting menu instead, even though it was not on the menu. He said it would be a selection of their best dishes. I decided to give it a shot. Service at Ozumo is friendly but, as the meal progressed, proved not so well trained.
The meal
A tasting menu is usually made of multiple small courses prepared and sequenced carefully by the chef. Thomas Keller (The French Laundry, Per Se) says the secret is for every dish to leave you wanting more. The point is not to eat a lot but to enjoy all the different flavors, textures and preparations in a specific order. Ozumo thinks diffently. The tasting menu consists of 8 courses but, instead of serving them in smaller portions, they come full size.
First course
Miso soup with manila clams. The soup was very tasty and perfectly seasoned. A good start to a very fulfilling meal.
Second course
Unagi salad. Broiled fresh water eel with Asian pear, Japanese kyuri cucumber, kaiware and sanbai-su dressing. The salad wasn't bad but lacked care in the preparation. The Unagi was slightly mushy and the dressing, although good, was excessive, overpowering all other flavors.
Third course
Agedashi tofu. A handmade organic tofu lightly covered in tempura batter, deep-fried and served over a hot tentsuyu broth and bonito flakes. Despite the fact that the dish arrived midway through our salad and the waiter just dumped in our table without explanation; it was amazing. The crispy tempura crust brought a perfect contrast to the incredibly fresh tofu. The broth gave it a delicious flavor, no wonder it came with Japanese spoons. Probably the best course on the menu.
Forth course
Sashimi, chef's selection. Highlights were Beni Toro (lightly seared salmon belly), Toro (melts-in-your-mouth tuna belly) and Hotate (deliciously sweet scallops). Everything was very fresh, properly cut and served at the right temperature.
Fifth course
Sushi, chef's selection. Three pieces of nigiri sushi; Beni Toro, Aji (spanish mackerel) and Suzuki (sea bass). And on the side, 3 pieces of Toro roll. Like the sashimi, the sushi was very good; though by now I was already pretty full. I asked the waiter if that was the last one and he said back laughing "No, no, no. Two more!"
Sixth course
Robata trio. That night's special, a trio of grilled meats on skewers. Petaluma chicken with plum sauce, pork belly and duck breast with green onions. The chicken, served warm, was incredibly tender and moist. It was cooked medium rare (yes, you're technically not supposed to but the waiter assured us they prepared it very carefully). The pork was good but came somewhat charred. The duck was excellent, tender and flavorful.
Seventh course
Shacho's Shabu-Shabu. As the final course, before dessert, a full Sukiyaki plate of vegetables and thin slices of Prime Angus rib-eye with ponzu dipping sauce. The charcoal fueled ceramic pot was filled with a thick miso-dashi broth. Quickly submerging the beef in the boiling miso broth and dipping it into the ponzu sauce brought together delightfully complex flavors to the tender rib eye. It was really good but I ended up having to leave most vegetables untouched; my esophagus was full.
Eight course
Chocolate fondue. A strange but welcomed dessert choice for a Japanese restaurant. The fondue was served in a Sukiyaki pot, over red-hot charcoal. To dip in, fruits, cake and mochi ice cream balls. Somehow I found space for it and it was definitely worth it. The good quality chocolate was a great topping to the mochi ice cream, they both melted together the moment they touched each other. A decadent end to an eight-course meal.
It was a great dinner but, in all honesty, I would have been happier with half-size portions. It would have been easier to appreciate more each dish and definitely not leave me as full. The whole point of a menu confiance is to trust the chef. The problem was, the chef wasn't the one running the show, it was the waiter.
In short
Ozumo is a great choice for a high-end Japanese meal. Give preference to the middle dining room if you are looking for more intimacy or go directly to the sushi bar if that's what you want to eat. The tasting menu is a good opportunity to try the different things they offer but it is definitely excessive. I'm happy I had it though, now I know what to order in my next visit (3, 4 and 7).

Brian Doherty's "Is American Foreign Policy an Infinite Crisis?"
Brian Doherty began a recent article in Reason Online by writing:
He was the undisputed ruler of one world, convinced that the larger world outside his own immediate control was corrupt, lacking inspiring heroes and proper values. He acted boldly on the belief that through his own genius, combined with force, manipulation, and powerful weapons he had no hand in creating, he could make a difference—a positive difference, one he'd eventually be lauded for, petty carpers be damned.
To actuate his initially well-intentioned scheme, he launched an enormous, convoluted and confusing set of manipulations, tried to rid the world of magic, generated an interplanetary war, and built a giant cosmic tower capable of creating an endless array of alternate earths from scratch, powered by the energy forces of kidnapped Martians, Kryptonians, and random superbeings.
I am speaking, as the astute reader will have guessed, of President George W. Bush.
Doherty has put together a funny article. I've also argued that the world, at some level, looks at the President of the United States as a superhero or supervillain, simply owing to his tremendous impact on global affairs. And that we can in some ways gauge how people would feel about dealing with other beings far more powerful than themselves by assessing how they deal with the one who is already present in their lives.
It's an interesting question, and probably also an argument for the distribution of power -- so much of what we do in life is affected by this man, and is impacted by how well we attract, or avoid, or deal with his attention.
But we can talk about all that later. In the meantime, read the article.

Gift Card holders
I was looking for a different way to wrap gift cards and found this link last night- http://www.thesunsethouse.com/2008/12/11/mr-twigster-says-thanks/ and thought they were really cute. I made this one last night for my mother-in-law's gift and have a couple more to make. Super easy, but cute and not so boring. :) Sorry for the quality of the pictures... I have been kicked out of my normal craft area for our Christmas tree and the lighting isn't as good.

Christmas gifts for teachers
A friend made one of these for me at Halloween and I thought it was so clever- then I found the tutorial here: http://scrapadoodledee.blogspot.com/2010/11/fabulous-friday-and-tutorial.html- and knew I had to do them for my kids' teachers for Christmas. I modified my pattern a little, but same results... I used Bazzill Basics cardstock that had a bit of a shine for the poinsettia (cut from the Winter Wonderland cartridge) and for the holder, then I used removable Glue Dots to hold the hand sanitizer and gift card in. The pictures aren't great- the shine on the paper made it a little difficult- but I think they turned out cute. I hope the teachers love them!

Sewing projects
Wow, over a month since my last post... That's awful! I have lots of cards to post, but today, I'm just posting 1 and my sewing projects.
These 3 purses are for my girlfriends for our Christmas gift exchange. I just need to add buttons to the blue and black ones.
This is the start of a bag that I am making for a friend to give as gifts- I made one for her already and have this one & 2 others to go. I'll post pictures of the final products.
And last, one card- I made 6 of these for a swap through Crafty Card Gallery. Looking forward to getting the other cards from the swap. I really like the colors and texture on this- I thought it was fun. I've been trying to find more ribbon so I could make some more like this, but it was from the $1 spool collection at JoAnn's and they don't seem to have it anymore. :(

Christmas cards for Operation Write Home
So, I'm not good about sending cards out to my family and friends... But, Operation Write Home is such an amazing cause, that I did get in the Christmas spirit early. Maybe I will keep up the cardmaking after the deadline for OWH and actually send out some of my own this year. :)
I just realized that I forgot to take pictures of the quilt I made before I gave it to the happy couple. I will get my friend to take some pictures for me so I can post them....
Here are some pictures of the cards I made. The first ones were made with a chipboard set that came with a cardmaking magazine I just bought.
The rest are with my Imagine and some stamps- but not Christmas themed... I'm really liking the Imagine and can't wait to have more time to play with it!

These were made with different stamps and little help from my new Cricut Imagine. I used the Winter Wonderland one to make the poinsettia, trees and snowman, with color from the Imagine. The holly was a brad set with the leaves and berry brad.
Inspiration for this one came from this post: http://acreativeneed.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/a-cuttlebug-christmas/ I thought this was very classy- I may try to find a different stamp...

Huge Giveaway- check this out!
I found this giveaway through a Facebook posting of a good friend and fellow card maker. :) She used Elmer products to create a super cute wall hanging for her craft area. I need to use that as inspiration to create something bright and cheery for my craft area. Check out her blog if you get a chance. She's got some great layouts- might even motivate me to start scrapbooking...

I haven't had much time for card making lately. I am working on a quilt for a special lady who is getting married next month... I have to have it done in time to have my mom help me with the binding- for some reason I haven't been able to get that down yet. Hopefully having someone show me will make it click... :) Pictures of the quilt to come after the wedding...

Operation Write Home Stars and Stripes blog Challenge #34
The Operation Write Home Stars and Stripes blog has a sketch challenge going on right now to make a Thank You card with the following sketch and the color yellow:
Here is my take on the design- I actually have 2, but I think I like the first one better:
Thanks for checking out my cards... Please leave comments- I love advise and constructive criticism.
Operation Write Home day and 2 birthday cards
My bible study group got together this weekend for our Operation Write Home day- and we came away with 73 cards! I whipped out a few cards today and raided my stash of completed cards and have a total of 92 cards to send in. I'm going to try to get a few more done this week so I can send an even 100.
This is our haul from our card making day, not including duplicates or the ones I took from my stash:

|Thinking of You
|Just Because
These are the ones that I finished up today- I found some great love/anniversary stickers, so that is the theme for these.
That's it for the Operation Write Home for now- I think I captured all of the cards, but may have missed a few. I'm pretty excited about what we did and look forward to having an opportunity to do this again.
I made these cards for my sisters for their birthdays. I've been looking for a way to use these fabric flowers and I think these turned out cute...

Operation Write Home
This weekend, I am getting together with the awesome ladies from my bible study to make cards for Operation Write Home. Most of the ladies say they aren't crafty, so I created some sample cards for inspiration.

A card; 2 bags; an index card, um, thing; some inspiration; and an idea
I made the follow card and bag for a friend from work. She has been my mentor since April of last year. I recently accepted a new position, so this is just a little thank for you all that she has done....
This bag is for me, I think.... It's the same pattern as the one above. I got this in a kit at a quilt shop in Cannon Beach, Or. It's the Amy Butler drawstring bag.
I made this for my "secret" pal at bible study- Jill again this week. :) There is a brad in the corner to hold index cards for bible verses and other inspiration.
I found these paper clips at Michael's this weekend and fell in love... I have some images of what I would like to do with them, but we'll see how they actually turn out.
Lastly- I found this website today: http://operationwritehome.org/
If you make cards, will you consider sending some for this great cause? I don't know about you, but I feel pretty good when I get a handmade card from someone... Wouldn't it be great if the loved ones of the brave men and women serving our country could feel that too?

Hi Articulate! Glad you're having fun teaching.
[Discussion of course specifics]
... Students who miss a lot of classes and miss the exam: assume he's gone. If he missed the exam, with no word to you, that's that. He may have withdrawn. If he hasn't withdrawn, then at the end of the semester you have the option of giving him an F or (I think it's) an FW, which means he failed b/c he stopped going to class. If he shows up at some point wanting to make up test etc., I would tell him sorry, missed the exam with no word, you're going to fail so you should withdraw from the class. Of course, say it nicely.
No problem on the office, I know it must be hard not to have your own space. We're going to be getting several more offices for part-time faculty--they are building them in a space that's now just empty hallway in [Campus Building]. I don't know if they will be ready for Spring, but hopefully!
Spring contract: same as Fall, it takes them forever, you will eventually get a contract and it will be for the same as the fall, same classes, times, pay. Eventually--probably in January if I know Lemon. As far as we're concerned, you're hired for the Spring too, so you don't have to worry about that.
I totally understand where you're coming from re needing full-time employment with benefits, especially with RocketMom taking time off and your THIRD!! baby on the way. And I understand the time/payment ratio not being good for you, given your commute and the time you need to spend with the courses and what they pay part-time instructors.
Unfortunately, we are very restricted about number and type of full-time positions we have for hiring right now. Here's our schedule for hiring (and yes, I'm the right person to talk to about this at this point): for next year (2008-2009) we'll be hiring 2 full-time positions, one for [job description 1] and one for [job description 2]. Those searches are ongoing now. Next year we will be searching for another [job description 2] faculty (for 2009-2010), and in 2009-2010 we'll be searching for another [subfield 1er] (for 2010-2011).
So unfortunately, we can't hire a [subfield 1er], or someone with your background, until 2010. And we are allowed only part-time hires for classes like [course #] and [course #] right now. This is from the Chancellor's office--we'd love to hire someone full-time right now, of course. You are right that there is certainly enough enrollment for 2 sections each, but part-time faculty can only teach 6 credits per semester of lecture courses (because the university is too cheap to pay for benefits, which they would have to do if a faculty member taught more than 6 credits). So if we offer 2 sections of both classes, we'd have to hire 2 part-time faculty to teach them.
I'm sorry I don't have better news for you! Universities move at a glacial pace, as I'm sure you know.
Please let me know ASAP if you decide not to teach for us next Spring--I'll have to find someone else. Of course I'll understand completely--although I think you are doing a really good job (from what I hear so far) and I'd be really happy if you taught again in the Spring.
Thanks, Articulate! Say hi to RocketMom and the boys.

First let me start off by saying that the show was fabulous. It has treasures, bombs, conspiracy theories and Nicholas Cage. What more do you want?
Nicholas Cage has long joined the ranks of Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery and Tom Hanks (well... maybe Johnny Depp) whose screen presence ooze with charisma. These men can practically save a lousy script just by looking at the audience through the big screen. The "I wanna be like THEM (when I'm their age anyway)!" feeling got me every time I queue up for the tickets.
Anyway, London is perhaps the last place on Earth to screen the movie. I really wonder why sometimes. It's like Hollywood decides to start from the States then go west to Asia, trudges its way across Middle East and the whole of Europe before finally descend on London. I'm pretty sure that people in Congo got it earlier than Londoners... The stars would then parade round Leceister Square as if it's a world premiere! To make the matter worse, London has perhaps the most expensive movie ticket (up to £10.50). To think that I was complaining about the lousy S$9.50 (£3.15) weekend movie ticket back home.
Curiously, unlike Singapore's cinemas (or movie theatres), London's do not provide a seat number to the ticket that you've sacrificed your lunch for. It's on a first come first serve basis. Kind of reminds you of those !@#$ budget airlines, doesn't it?
It doesn't matter whether you've gotten the tickets years ago. If you're late for the show.. sorry man. I've seen people sitting on the staircases in the cinema just because they couldn't find empty seats that were next to each other!

I was quite surprised to hear the recorded voice of Mr. Parkinson - he of Parkinson's Law fame - on radio last week: I thought he had died sometime in the 18th Century. But it was as recently as 1955 that he first articulated the adage, pronouncing it a law of science, that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". This law (along with the kindred "if you want something doing, give it to a busy person" and "if it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done" - both of which are yet to be scientifically validated) wrings a knowing smile from those who have observed its effects.
Parkinson backed up his argument with compelling statistics from a first-hand study of the British Civil Service where he had worked. The main thrust of his case, however, was to demonstrate the alarming rate at which the numbers of civil servants inevitably multiplied regardless of whether the volume of their work increased, diminished or disappeared altogether. This image of an inefficient institution has stuck in the popular imagination ever since.
Perhaps this is why, when the Chancellor announced this week he is to put an end to automatic annual pay rises in the public sector, he received a metaphorical round of applause from those in the private sector, where such entitlements have not been seen since the early 1980s. Why, they ask, has it taken so long? After all it has been 57 years since Parkinson spilled the beans. Do these people live in a different world from us?
In a way they do - as do many others.
At the corner shop yesterday I was served not by the proprietor, as I usually am, but by a young, second-generation immigrant chap I had not seen before. The till was short of small coins so he was pleased that I offered him a handful of loose change. One of the coins, however, he rejected on the grounds that it was foreign.
"No it's not" I said, flipping it "look - it has the Queen's head on it".
He studied it for a while. Then his mate came over and took an interest.
"Is that the Queen?" he said.
"Yes, look she is on all the coins" I replied.
"Oh yeah. So, is that our Queen?"
"Yes" I said, probably sounding incredulous by now.
"Yeah but I heard" said his mate "that she is on some Canadian coins too".
"Yes" I said "and on Australian coins".
"Is she?"
"Where are you from?" I asked.
"Here" they replied.
By now they were sufficiently intrigued to listen to the short lecture on British colonial history I felt obliged to deliver in order to convince them that I was not trying to pass off a foreign coin in exchange for a bag of onions.
"Well, thanks for that. They didn't teach us that at school" said one.
"Yeah, that's really interesting" said the other and with smiles all round, I went back to my world, leaving them to study all the coins in the till.
When I told this story to my partner she countered with one of her own. That morning she had taken a group of 13 year-old schoolgirls on a guided tour of the newly-opened BBC TV news studios. When invited to put questions one of them said "Where do you get the news from before you see it on TV?" The exasperated newsroom staff were enlightened by another of the girls who explained that none of them has ever watched TV news. They get all they need to know from Facebook.
It seems we all coexist in different worlds - which need not be too troubling as long as we don't delude ourselves that ours is the only really valid one.

My dream morning did not happen this morning. At least, not entirely. I set my alarm to 7:30am, as I did not go to bed until 12:30. Mainly because Fiance doesn't come home until 10:30, and it really stinks to go all day without having a real conversation, or spending any time with him. Which honestly is my biggest obstacle to my early morning dream. Let's face it, his work schedule isn't likely to change. I will have to decide if watching the sun rise is worth not having those couple of hours with him.
It was successful in that I spent some time working on homework. I'm not done by any means, but at least I've worked on it. I will have to choose between exercising, and writing though as I don't have time to do both now.
Fiance is off of work today. Perhaps I can convince him to go for a walk with me after I get off of work. I would like to get some form of movement in today, but by the time I get off of work it is dark still and I am nervous about being a lone woman walking around in the dark. I wish I didn't live in a world where I had to worry about that.
I'm thinking about waking up at 7 tomorrow even though it's my day off. If I continue waking up a half hour earlier every day then it will be easier to wake up before the sun rises. However, it would be nice to have one morning that I don't wake up to an alarm.
So, goals for the week:
1. Work on achieving dream morning
2. Continue working on Master's Degree
3. Continue planning wedding
4. Write
5. Exercise.
If I don't talk to ya'll before then, see you in a week!

Aztec Temple
In the month of August I had the opportunity at Schell Games to spend a week working on an auxiliary project with a small team. Our goal was to figure out the pipeline for and create a small interactive experience in the Unreal Development Kit for the iPad and iPhone, as it was nothing we had done before.
Our aim was to follow a Dear Esther experience for a quick story teaser.
A lot of the 5 days was spent researching what we had to do to get it working on a mobile platform. We discovered things like terrains and foliage brushes not compatible with mobile, and materials having their own mobile set up within UDK. We used some existing assets we had previously created, as well as a tree or two from Epic's asset library that came along with the development kit.
The idea for the project came from something I was going to do personally on the side. For awhile I had wanted to use the skills I have learned to find an existing piece of art (whether it be from the game industry or another piece of art) and make an homage to it. At the time, I had begun with looking at the ruins that can be seen on Delta Halo in Halo 2 by Bungie -> Image Sample Here
I brought this concept to my good friend and coworker Max Davenport, who is a phenomenal concept artist. After speaking a lot with him about him helping me out with concepts, he brought up the idea of doing something a little bit differently. I told him to go crazy with the concept, which can be seen below.
concept art belongs to Max Davenport. See his work on his site here: http://maxdavenport.wordpress.com/
We ran with the idea. I had begun doing architecture research and block outs, with which Max had helped me out with some blueprints. Before I knew it, Jam Week was coming up at Schell Games, which seemed like a fantastic opportunity to see this idea come to light. As stated above, Jam Week was a week we took off from our typical projects in the company and worked on something a bit more personal. We could work alone or in groups on these projects. The concept of this all was to try and learn something new that we could use to potentially contribute to Schell Games, if not better ourselves as members of the video game industry. All I needed now was to find people to team up with and give us an end goal for the project.
My coworker and former professor, Gabe Sabourin, had been interested in discovering the pipeline of getting the Unreal Development Kit working on the iPad. I approached him with a level that he could use for his purposes, and off we went.
second concept of the environment that our level is more based upon. by Max Davenport.
Once we began the project, a major thing we discussed was the plot behind this interactive experience. If we wanted this to be anything like Dear Esther, we needed it to have some captivating element to it. Between Gabe Sabourin, Jared Mason and myself, we began brainstorming a small and simple storyline. Without going into too much detail, the concept is that you are an explorer whose partner had claimed of an ancient Aztec site, where the ruins had not been touched in a very long time. After a time, your partner had vanished, and you had acquired all of his assets. Among them, a journal. As the explorer, you go on to continue his quest, following your partners footsteps via the entries in the journal.
I was in charge of level design for this project. In doing so I analyzed what we needed to fill the world and what would help it make look more interesting. I set up the basic blocking and pathing based on the initial concepts, and followed through with asset population, optimization, event triggers, audio editing, along with some other tasks including a little bit of modeling. As mobile does not support terrain, I created a unique static mesh plane within 3ds max which was brought into UDK and had all the textures vertex painted onto the plane with the assistance of Ross Kimball. Also, since the foliage brush was not compatible with mobile, I hand placed each one of the grass plane sets throughout the level (which believe me, took a long time).
The project was an overall success. We did not get to create as much as we had wanted to in the beginning, as discovering the mobile needs trumped our 3d modeling desires. However, we ended up very pleased with the project, and I was extremely happy to work on it.

A boy who appeared to be in his mid 20's, seeing out from the train's window shouted…
"Dad, look the trees are going behind!"
Father smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the boy's childish behavior with pity,
suddenly he again exclaimed … "Dad, look the clouds are running with us !"
The couple could now not resist anymore and asked to the old man…"Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?"
To this the old man smiled and said…
"I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today…"
Simple story with an amazing climax isn't it…? So what do we learn from it ?
Every single person on the planet has story.
"Don't judge people before you truly know them. the truth might surprise you…Think before you say something…!!!"

Scrum et al.
An introduction to the Agile Scrum "methodology" is presented in this talk by Kent Schwaber (Google Techtalks, Sept. 2006). He speaks for close to one hour from memory, resulting in a somewhat sketchy but nevertheless thought-provoking talk. This is also a strong testimony in favor of refactoring legacy code… If you are interested in understanding more about when or why to refactor code, or are simply looking to be inspired by the lively description of an Agile methodology, watch this now!

My mother used to tell me--"Anak, para kang basketball player. Last 10 minutes ka lagi." She'll tell me this whenever she sees me rushing a delivery (I was in the garments business before) or when she sees me adding beads and sequins on her gown an hour before the start of the Philamlife Recognition Program.
Well, some things just don't change.
Last Saturday, June 16, 2007, as I was getting ready for my daughter's Parents Orientation in school, I suddenly remembered that I should have bought Miggy's special monay and Baguio raisin bread for my father's small group prayer meeting that afternoon. I looked at my watch and found out it was already 1:45PM, exactly 15 minutes before the Orientation. In a flash, I drove to Miggy's Bakeshop in BF Resort and went back, put on a light make-up, fixed my hair, picked the right accessories and wore them while I was walking to the car. And pronto! I arrived at the venue exactly 2PM. I wasn't late after all coz the meeting started at 2:30PM (which by Filipino standard is still early because of our 1-hr. delay Filipino tradition).
I smiled to myself and thought of Nanay. "Hindi na ako ngayon last 10 minutes. 15 minutes na. At least, may pagbabago."
Fast Forward to SM MOA: Philamlife celebrated its 60th anniversary with lots of activities from 10AM to 9PM. I was still fortunate to catch the concert which started at 7PM. The Philippine Idols and the Company traced the music hits from the 50's to the present. It was nostalgic, at the same time hilarious. Then the much-awaited Apo Hiking Society took the center stage. People clamored "More . . . !!!!" from them that the concert ended 9:30PM. By that time, my daughter and I had to go to the rest room which was full as expected.
Then I realized that I still have to look for a Father's Day Card where I could place my monetary gift. I looked at my watch and read 9:45PM. Oh, no. Not again! Last 15 minutes . . .
We (Eia, Keendie and I) ran to National Book Store which was located at the farthest end from the Music Hall. Eia "read" books in the children's area while I bumped elbows (literally) with the other customers who, like me, were also "basketball players"--still searching for a father's day card before closing time. When I finally chose my card, I looked for the nearest cashier and saw a long queue of payers. I decided to look for the additional school supplies that my son needed while shaking my head in disgust "Why are these items not included in the list of sch. supplies given to me on enrollment day? I should have bought all of them in 1 trip, instead of making 2 trips to the bookstore. Don't they (the teachers) realize that the parents have so many things to do aside from making trips to the bookstore for their children's supplies?"
The following day, Father's day, I woke up early to give tatay my gift. I hugged and kissed him and repeatedly told him "Thank you, Itay. I love you. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo. Happy Father's Day." in between sobs. When I say repeatedly, I meant over and over and over . . . again! Tatay and I embraced each other for eternity and I thought I saw a tear or two on his cheeks. For the first time in my life, I knew Tatay has finally accepted the fate of his only daughter. I could no longer feel the pain in his heart, only gladness and joy. And for the second time, I heard him say "I love you" (please refer to my previous post "My Permanent 'Boyfriend'".
Let me share with you what I wrote in the card:
My dearest Tatay,
Last June 6, I received the best birthday gift ever--
When you hugged me and kissed me and told me "I love you. Happy birthday."
Thank you for finally giving me what I've been longing for in my whole life!
Whereas the father's day card reads:
Whatever brings you joy, whatever makes you happy . . .
Whatever good things you want most in life . . .
May these be yours.
Happy Father's Day!
Then I signed:
I love you, Tatay,

I'm already tired of the election process and it hasn't even begun yet. Talk about over-exposure and pettiness.
Spring is here and I love it, but not the storms forecast for tonight, However, since it is Art Fest, it does mean rain.
As much as I love conference, I will be so glad when it's over. Lazy person that I am, I much prefer going with no responsibility for anything but myself.
I want to get back to writing so much and conference has totally interfered. Just not disciplined enough I guess. I blame it on conference, Lori being in hospital, full time job-never laziness.
And I can't wait to finish Bloody Murder and start to plot Fairy Dust the Novel. Maybe sneak in a nocturne bites in the mean time.

The temperature in the city is already reaching 34 degrees Celsius and is predicted to go higher. Imagining that I'm walking on the cool, fine sand of Boracay and feeling the sea breeze caress my skin makes walking to work under the scorching sun bearable — until an irate driver honks the car horn that is.

I'm sitting in the final webinar of my class and decided to work on some of my most severely damaged pictures while listening to it. I'm pretty happy with what I've been able to do but now I'm thinking I'm going to have to re-scan everything at 600 dpi (currently at 300 dpi) to get more data to play with. I know, I'm crazy.

Pros and cons of the salons?
Give me your feed back ladies
My salon experience with my current stylus is relaxing and comfortable. The pros of going to a salon for me are the convenience and saving of time. The cons of previous salon experiences have been the unprofessional-ism of the salon staff and the nature of some of the conversations that are allowed to go on in salons especially if children are present.ReplyDelete
I find it that in our community as African Americans we have this particular problem. I feel it is time for a change. Classes should be held for stylists to administer exceptional customer service.ReplyDelete

text: Migrant worker program slammed as "worse than slavery" A leading advocate for migrant workers has slammed the current program, claiming it strips foreign nationals of any power and fails to protect them. "To be blunt, I consider this an apartheid system," Chris Ramsaroop, of Justicia for Migrant Workers, told CBC. "Migrant workers live and work under a different set of legal rights and obligations that we do," he added. "We aren't denied basic human rights, we're not denied basic healthcare." The Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program brings approximately 30,000 farm workers to Canada every year – mainly from Mexico, Jamaica, or several other Caribbean countries. The workers are granted temporary visas to help address the labour gap that many farmers struggle with during the planting and harvesting seasons. However, the program has repeatedly come under criticism as it leaves workers almost entirely powerless. "If they complain, they get sent home and don't come back," Marcia Barrett told the news outlet. "Some are the only support for their family," she added. Barrett's cousin Sheldon McKenzie sustained a severe head injury while working on an Ontario tomato farm – confined to a hospital bed and unable to move, McKenzie was stripped of his work visa and health-care coverage. Based in Winnipeg, Barrett told Go Public that she was pressured by McKenzie's liaison officer to ship the 39-year old back to Jamaica before he could receive the medical care he required. "What I found out after much talking to people who will never talk on camera, when the migrants are hurt, sometimes they don't take them to the hospital, they ship them back to Jamaica," Barrett told Go Public. "It's worse than slavery — they dispose of them," she added. Carlton Anderson, the chief Jamaican liaison officer for Canada, stressed that, if that was true, it would be a serious violation. "This type of action by an officer would be inconsistent with the officer's obligation and commitment to the worker," he said in a statement. "The well-being of the worker is the prime reason for our existence or presence in Canada," he added. Barrett eventually succeeding in securing a temporary stay for her cousin but the married father-of-two died before a decision was made on a humanitarian visa.

"Who are you to judge another?" James 4:12b I am guilty of judging others I admit that. It is not verbalized usually, I do so in my heart and thoughts. I need to stop and judge myself before I judge another. Why should I complain about the speck on one person's eye when I have a 2x4 in mine. The thing is that when we judge someone or find fault in them we usually have the same issue in our own lives. (Romans 2:1-2) I pray today that I will stop and judge my own life before I judge another, Lord please give me the understanding and compassion I need to accomplish this.
The Quote:
"Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?" ~ James 4:11-12The Drawing:

|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
The Zen Stone House is situated on the less populated wilder side of Corfu at Agios Georgios Pagi, 2km from beach (St. George North) in a magical place, surrounded by unspoiled nature and its revitalizing sounds, just a short walk (20min) or an easy 5minute ride by bicycle from swimming in the crystal clear Ionian Sea and the virgin sandy beach of Agios Georgios Pagi. The house sleeps up to 6 guests with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and is an idyllic place for a relaxing holiday for all the family or for a meditation break away from everything. Cozy and warm rooms and indoor spaces, large verandas that open out to wild nature, constructed with wood and stone and with sincere respect to the environment, the house is a green haven in the heat of summer. Although quiet and peaceful there are boating activities and amenities within a few minutes' walk, so a car is not essential for those who want the pure nature experience. We would suggest bicycles though, as it would really make the difference! During summertime you can rent a boat and explore the bay's headlands of towering cliffs which hide sandy coves and rocky reefs.
A double bedroom (matrimonial bed) and another twin bedroom (2 single beds)downstairs, which share the main bathroom. Both bedrooms open to their own verandas with a shaded pergola facing the garden, the riverside and the open Ionian sky. Minimal modern furniture and utilities offer a relaxing decoration. Ceiling fans in both bedrooms are there to ensure a good night sleep. Both bedrooms have large doors out to the veranda and have sunlight bursting in throughout the day.
1 bathroom downstairs, with bath tub and a washing machine which is essential if one stays long, and another small one with shower in the upper floor which is exactly what you need whilst spending time in the kitchen and living room.
Large, brand new, open plan fully equipped kitchen with a large dining table and enough space for 6 guests. Oven, large fridge/freezer, dish washer, stove, electric kettle, toaster, boiler and iron, kitchenware & kitchen utensils, pans, kettle and anything one may need in order to prepare meals and enjoy the flavors of the local products!
Living Room:
Walking up the wooden staircase will lead you to a cozy open plan sitting room/dining area opening through French doors onto wide veranda with panoramic view of the wonderful surroundings and the stunning colors of the horizon when the sun sets behind the Afionas Peninsula. Minimal modern furniture and decoration indoors and outdoors, create a relaxing environment.
Outdoor space:
Large verandas with sitting and outdoor dining furniture. Portable BBQ facilities available for a real countryside outdoor dining experience. Sun loungers also available in order to enjoy the endless interaction of light and nature. Well maintained gardens that offer beautiful surroundings & privacy and parking space for at least 2 cars.
The owner lives in South Africa. Has been visiting Agios Georgios for years and fell in love with a place. When the owners decided that they had to build their own house in the area they needed to construct something that would perfectly fit the surrounding nature they fell in love with, and so they did! Enjoy Corfu at its best!!!
George Sotiropoulos purchased this house in 2010
The Zen Stone House is an idyllic place for a relaxing holiday for all the family or for a meditation break away from everything. Cozy and warm rooms and indoor spaces, large verandas that open out to wild nature, constructed with wood and stone and with sincere respect to the environment, the house is a green haven in the heat of summer.
Lying tucked away several miles down a twisty road and 30 km from Corfu town, this little resort can be found under several names including Agios Georgios (North), Agios Georgios Pagi, or San George, and is a haven for lovers of a quiet and restful holiday. So far the demands of the tourist trade have not spoiled the natural beauty of this delightful bay or the friendliness of the local people. It should be noted that there is another Corfu holiday resort of the same name in the south of the island.
Set on level land at the mouth of a wide valley between high rocky headlands, this collection of private houses, small hotels, tavernas and some apartments sprawls lazily behind the beach road. You will not find any tall apartment blocks or large self-catering complexes here, just small family run enterprises.
Behind them is countryside of fields, olive groves and wooded hills. The ancient olive trees with their contorted and perforated trunks form a grayish green carpet when viewed from a distance, but the views are made so much more interesting by the dark green colors of the numerous tall, pencil shaped cypress trees.
Certainly not known for vigorous nightlife, Agios Georgios suits families with young children, or couples and individuals of all ages who enjoy restful holidays in beautiful countryside, while at the same time providing endless fun for the kids on the beach. The area is Corfu's meditation center, as there are more and more people that chose this part of the island for its revitalizing energy and the uninterrupted tranquility.
However for stressed out 'workaholics' this is the ideal place as you have no choice but to slow down. Everything goes slow here. For a more lively night life it is easy to take a taxi or car the short drive to Arillas or even longer to Sidari (which is the extreme opposite).
At the superb beach with its crystal clear water you can just relax and enjoy the sun under a beach umbrella, hire a boat or enjoy a variety of water sports.
There is an ample choice of friendly Tavernas, Restaurants, small mini-markets and a few tourists' Gift Shops plus the occasional small quality shops. All are run by friendly local people.
You can hire a Motor Bike or Scooter for the day, or a Mountain Bike (this is the ideal choice if you visit Agios Georgios to crash out), or try the water sports available on the beach. Many visitors enjoy walking in this delightful undulating countryside with its shady olive groves and wild flower bordered rural roads.
Our favorite 'not to be missed' short car trips are to:
• Afionas: This delightful village must not be missed if possible. There are several tavernas with stunning views. Take your pick of an eagle's eye view of Agios Georgios bay with drinks at Dionysos taverna and/or Porto Timoni Cafe; or in the opposite direction the truly beautiful view over the off-shore islands, especially the evening sunsets from The Three Brothers, Panorama or Anemos.
• Pagi village for coffee or drinks at a local greek cafe-bar, and on up through Prinillas via the twisting hill road with its magnificent views to the small village of Makrades, now well known for its souvenir shops and the local residents who leap out into the road waving cars to stop to buy their goods. (If you do stop they will have your door open before you know !)
For a longer trip carry on through Makrades down through Lakones with more superb views over the rocky bays of the famous resort of Paleokastritsa.
