Painting by Chagall

Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me You’re the moon, I’m the water You’re Mars, calling up Neptune’s daughter Sometimes rain that’s needed falls We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall All around is sky and blue town Holding these flowers for a wedding gown We live so high above the...

Me: What's up, buttercup? How was your day, gamma ray? Anythin cookin, good lookin?
Him: So far so groovy, miss cheesy?
Me: If I were a cheese I would be gorgonzola. Just because it sounds so cool.
Him: Risyiana Muthia Gorgonzola, so true! It sounds cool! 
Me: See?
Him: You wouldn't smell so good though.
Me: It's ok. I don't know any cheese that smells good.

Glass

A: I kept getting a feeling that, had she done things differently, you'd choose to be with her.
B: I can't say no.
A: Oh.
 (What's that sound? A broken glass? No. That's my heart)

cinderellainrubbershoes: due to insistent public demand by Charles Warnke Date a girl who doesn’t read. Find her in the weary squalor of a Midwestern bar. Find her in the smoke, drunken sweat, and varicolored light of an upscale nightclub. Wherever you find her, find her smiling. Make sure that it lingers when…

Abandoned Amusement →

Beautiful chaos from the remains of Six Flags Amusement Park in New Orleans. Washed away by Hurricane Katrina, six years ago, never once rebuilt. What was used to be a 140-acre of amusement is now looking like a playground for Pogo the Clown. Click on the title link for the amazing set of pictures of this abandoned amusement.

Off with the foreskin or off with the head

It was couple of minutes to midnight. The boyfriend was still working on his thesis when he heard some loud knocks on the door. He got up to open the door and found two of his dearest friends, in a jolly mood, happily inebriated, but dead serious nonetheless. They were trying to convince him to cut off his foreskin. “You should do it man, if you’re going to convert to Islam....

Nigella Lawson's Caramel Croissant Pudding

Last Saturday I got three left-over butter croissants from breakfast and I know that if I didn’t eat them right away on the day, they’re just going to be stale and I will have to throw them away. So I googled some croissant pudding recipe and found one croissant pudding recipe from none other than the Queen of Food Porn, Nigella Lawson. It’s very easy and it tastes heavenly! I...

FAQ - Hanoi for Dummies (Part 2 - Eat, drink and...

So I skip the whole chapter about all the tourist attractions you could go, along with all the guest houses or hotels you could stay in. There are plenty of those in Hanoi, and you proud travelers are surely smart enough to use Google or Lonely Planet. Besides, this is supposed to be an insider (yet outsider, I’m not Vietnamese, you see) insights of the city, so I’ll answer those sort...

The Marvelous Misadventure of the Twosome Klutz #3

Him: Just got a message from my friend. His wife is kidnapping their kid, of two years old, and is nowhere to be found.
Me: Hey is it this guy you told me before, who was having financial problems and had to give up the other kid he has for adoption?
Him: Yes.
Me: That's so sad. But I sorta could understand his wife's decision, you know. I think it's maternal instinct, you'd do anything to protect your baby.
Him: What? Kidnapping the baby like that? I don't think it's right.
Me: Well he can't support the baby, and she's afraid that he's gonna give this one for adoption again. Can't really blame her. As a matter of fact, I think this is the perfect example why people need license to procreate.
Him: Yeah, and how exactly you'd measure which one would be legit to have the license and which one wouldn't?
Me: How do you think they do it for adoption process? Background check, financial check, yadda yadda, the system's already there. 
Him: It's not that simple, and even if it works, what are you gonna do to people who procreate without license?
Me: Well, that means they had violated the law. And they shall be punished. Hard. Deterrent, baby. Deterrent.
Him: You sound like a conservative redneck.
Me: I'm not bleeding-heart.
Him: *silenced*
Me: No, seriously.
Him: Well good, because I thought you finished your period a week ago.
Me: HEART, baby! Not HARD! O_O
Him: Oh.

I wrote this because, having been living in Vietnam for almost a year now, I got asked questions a lot regarding Vietnam and specifically Hanoi. And most questions are the same, so yeah here it is. Oh please note that I don’t claim these answers to be accurate whatsoever, these are just my point of view, based on my observation. And I’ve been told that I always see things from the...

Smoked Bacon Casserole

This is my first solo-baking experience, and by that I mean, I did everything by myself without any help from the boyfriend. Now now, for those of you who know me, you know for sure that there are two things in this world that I’m disastrous with, the first one being anything related to maps and direction, the second one being anything related to cooking, baking and whatnot. The only thing I...

Frankenpie

It was a lazy Sunday loop and we were just doing nothing but watching a couple of movies when he got into his A-ha moments. “Let’s bake today!” “Chocolate chips?” “Naaah, we did it already.” “Brownies?” “No. Something new.” “Pie! We’ve never baked a pie!” “Perfecto! Do you know how to do it?” ...

Me: *coming back from work* Hi baby! How ya doin? Kisses?
Him: *cheerful shout from inside the toilet* Great, baby! But you gotta wait a bit before the kiss though, I gotta make myself puke because I just mistakenly swallowed the Listerine. 
Me: Oh.
