Nita's Random Thoughts

I didn't do much blogging as much as I want to but I did finish watching Catch Me If You Can movie few hours ago. Catch Me if You Can is a 2002 comedy-drama crime film based on the life of Frank Abagnale Jr., who before his 19th birthday, successfully conned millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor and Louisiana prosecutor. His primary modus operandi was check forgery, becoming so skillful that the FBI eventually turned to him for help. Catch Me If You Can starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Amy Adams, Martin Sheen and Nathalie Baye under the direction of Steven Spielberg.

1. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever made with bread? I normally dip bread in my morning Milo drink. My mother love to dip bread in her coffee before eating it. Well, I guess some Filipinos did the same thing.

2. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever done with mac and cheese or pasta? When I cooked a Filipino style spaghetti back in 2003 and I normally put some sugar in it and dear hubby was complaining because it was sweet! He didn't like it :(

3. Is there a food you eat other then it is intended? Nope.

4. What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever seen? Rambutan which looks like atsuete. Weird looking food I ever seen but they tastes good though.

In the meantime, I talked to my sister on the phone and she mentioned that our mother has been suffering from joint pain for quite a while now and I heard that Super Cissus is the supplement to use. We'll see...

Wondering where have I been? The start of the year wasn't good for us. Dear hubby was sick for three weeks. He had a bad hips and been suffering for days. But he's a lot better now. Four days ago, dear daughter started sneezing and coughing and had a fever after, while dear son got the same virus after a day. Yesterday, my whole body was aching and can't eat solid food because my throat was hurting. So now, we're all sick. It's really annoying. I've been taking garlic gel and chewing fresh ginger for my sore throat :( Being sick is no fun, especially if you have 2 kids to take care of. Anyway, that's enough ranting. I better go and check out some tv stands online. Our tv stands finally give up.

Our friend Mark was supposed to come over today to watch Arizona Eagles vs Philadelphia Eagles game but he bailed out in the last minute. I took a nap this afternoon but was able to watch the second half. It was fun. Arizona once again dominated the turnover battle. It had three takeaways and now has a plus-9 turnover ratio in the playoffs. After the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants, the Cardinals hosted their first NFC Championship game in Arizona. Cardinals defeat the Eagles 32-25 on Sunday. Kurt Warner and the Cardinals are headed to Super Bowl XLIII after a wild win over the Eagles.

Okay, that's all for now. I have to go and check out Seattle injury lawyer before taking a break. Have a great Sunday everyone!

I know that shopping's a blast, but I prefer to save money. I hardly ever give into an impulse buy, unless it's a total steal. As far as online shopping goes, it's a great way to find the cheapest price for things I need. I always browse around for cute things on sale and find the best ipods deals to save money. My older sister is celebrating her birthday pretty soon and I've been wanting to buy ipods for her as a gift.

What about you? Do you shop more than most women?

What does your weekly chore schedule consist of, if anything? I had a schedule. Like from Mondays to Fridays, I do most house chores here and there. Do the laundry, clean the bedrooms and bathrooms on Saturdays and Sundays.

Do you plan when you’ll do things, do them as you go, don’t do any chores or leave everything until the house needs to be condemned? I'd like to do things according to my plans, just like taking up digital photography but it's hard to do it since I have two kids to take care of. It's good thing there is such an online college degree

What is your favourite chore? Least favourite? I love cooking and my least favourite is cleaning the bathrooms, but it has to be done.

What item makes doing chores less stress/hassle or more fun/enjoyable for you? Doing the laundry since I can use washing machine and also cleaning the dishes.

Dear hubby has been sick for days now. Last night, he had a stomach pain and I told him to take Colostrum right away. I told him to stay home today so he can relax but he doesn't want to do it since the company needs him. He's the only one in charge in the quality control department. Anyway, I just hope the kids and I won't get the same bugs but I doubt it. Oh well, I guess that's the way it goes.

Rain and melting snow bring floods to Washington this week. The floods shut major routes between Washington and Oregon. On Friday morning, the National Weather Service extended flood warnings for parts of six rivers that flow through five counties in western Washington near Seattle and Tacoma. The rainfall swept across virtually all of the state, but its biggest effects occurred along the western half of Puget Sound. The risk of landslides was high, leading to the closure of all passes across the Cascades. You can read the rest of the story here!

It's really scary. I have some friends and cousins who live in Tacoma and Spanaway, and thank God they were okay!

1. Would you rather be stranded on an island alone or with someone you dislike/don't get along with? I would rather be with someone I dislike or don't get along with because it would be too boring if ever stranded on an island alone.

2. Would you rather accidentally walk in on your parents having sex or have them walk in on you? Well, I don't want to walk on anyone's sex life activity. It should be private.

3. Would you rather be snapped by paparazzi during a nipple slip or while exiting a car with out any underwear? (guys, consider similar circumstances) Oh my, that's a tough one. I don't know which one to choose. LOL.

4. Would you rather not have sex for two years or not be able to use the Internet for two years? This question is very funny! I don't know but I think relationship is important to me.

5. Would you rather find true love or 1 million dollars? I already found my true love. Hopefully I can also find 1 million dollars in the near future! LOL.
