So sorry for not having been here in a long time.....our only child just graduated from her high school, her division 3 state tennis finals, my full-time career, and our brand new business.  OMG, I've been soooooo busy, not enough time to polish my amateur (immature) blogging skills.  Anyways, with much love for soccer, my husband (mainly him) and I decided to launch a women's soccer related business.  Since he's a pretty talented designer, all the t-shirts seen on the www.wososhirtco.com have been carefully thought out and designed by him.  He's spent countless numbers of hours nightly/weekendly (like my grammar?) working on the business.  Whether you like me or not, please.....please check WoSo out and buy something.....you know.......our daughter's going to college which means lots and lots of dough :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much has happened since the first of January, and it's been a long time since I last visited my own blog.  I miss writing, bitching, and lamenting so much.  I guess I'm back but I can't guarantee the lameness of my stories.  I've been crying, laughing, and smiling so much lately.  I don't even know how to begin to tell any of my stories that have happened within the last couple of months and a half.  Anyway, who gives a s--t!!  As you can tell, I have mood swings and that happens quite often.  

I thought I would have never wanted to mention that it's been over a year that my dad has suffered a stroke.  He hasn't been himself since February of last year.  He's still hanging in there not being able to tell us where his soul is. He's laying there with emptiness in his eyes.  I went home twice last year to be with him but he neither said a word to me nor to anyone.  He hasn't said a word to anybody..................................................................................nobody.

You might start to realize I'm not all about silliness, my life is not always filled with rose petals and cakes.  I've sometimes been visited by rocks, hail, blizzard, typhoon, monsters, and...may I say........shit.  I can only hope and pray that they stay very briefly and move on rather quickly to their next destinations.  Good bye unwelcome/uninvited visitors...............good bye for good!


Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

Ooh, you and me, girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
And, my love
I can see beyond forever
Everything we own will never die
Love is such a beautiful thing
Oh, you make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away?

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

You and me, girl
Got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night or day
And the tears we had to cry
You're my life
I can see a new tomorrow
Everything we own will never die
Love is such a beautiful thing, oh
When you are to me
The light above
Made for all to see
Our precious love

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Love is such a beautiful thing
Oh, you make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away?

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as wide as a river
And harder to cross

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

Oh, oh, oh
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

Texas Hold' Em Poker seems to be a standard practice among me and my friends.  It's a great way to make money while having fun at the same time, what an ideal activity it is!  Two days before New Year's Eve, my husband and I were invited to an exclusive BIG BALLS casino.  (Sorry to inform you that not everyone can just barge in to the Big Balls.....invitation only.)  We played games and games of poker hoping to win big that one of us could have had our mortgage paid off.  After spending about 3 hours at BB that night, my husband decided to go home first because he was having a date with Ambien.  Ambien makes him feel good about himself and she sometimes gives him sweet...sweet dreams.  In case you're wondering, NO I'm not jealous of Ambien.  She and I agree that it is a good thing to keep my husband satisfied.

I should mention that my husband is probably the most negative gambler/...being in the world, he has no faith in any of the games.  Every time he gambles, he's predetermined to lose.  Isn't he a lovely man?  This is the reason why I have no problems with him hooking up with Ambien.  The sooner he hooks up with Ms. Ambien, the more money I have in my pocket.  How annoying!!  As he gets more tired, he intentionally plays to lose.  Hmm...I have to continuously remind myself that my husband is a millionaire.  
                                                                                       to be continued............................................

Christmas came at me very fast this year (and last year, and the year before), I find it hard to believe that the day is almost over.  It's been our tradition for about 4 years now that my mother in law stays over night with us here on Christmas eve and spends the rest of the Christmas day with us.  Before I get into our Christmas activities, let's go back to the day before Christmas eve for a little bit.  We had a great big dinner here with my MIL, my stepbrother IL, his wife, and his adorable almost brand new baby.  It was a great day, I say.  I made a few noodle dishes and Calidelphia rolls (see the food section for the recipe), they were all very yummy.  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves quite well.  In the meantime, dare I mention.....Miu Miu the Kitten is in heat.  She went nuts the whole day making all kinds of weird noises and provocative sexy moves...yep very sexy moves.  How could an 8 month old kitten want to engage in some adult activity?  This doesn't make any sense and it makes me wanna pass out over and over again.  She's growing up way too fast.  Never in my life that I've heard such weird noises and moans...well...I guess I'm learning something new everyday.  I must admit this new experience is driving me off the wall, Miu Miu can go on and on for hours.  I'm sure she's driving herself off the wall too for not getting what she needs...poor kitten.  As badly as I feel for her, I absolutely cannot allow her to roam outside, I'm sure there are plenty of perverted male cats out there waiting to take advantage of my little Miu Miu.  I I cannot allow that to happen to her.  Also, I cannot have any more baby animals in the house...NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  May be an alpaca??  I love animals but I can only have so many at a time, please do understand my circumstance.  Thank you very much.  (She's moaning and yodeling as we speak, no kidding!)

The Eve
 We (my husband, my daughter, my MIL,and I) went to our family friends' for the usual Christmas Eve gathering.  Our friend, Dr. B (one of the kindest/bestest human being on earth) had her usual honey baked ham and other fabulous fixings, they were so delicious.  Who in the right mind wouldn't like honey baked ham?  If you happen to know anyone who fit the "I dislike honey baked ham" category, please introduce them to me immediately.  I need to have a serious conversation with them.  Anyways, we visited with everybody in Dr.B's family last night and it was a very lovey one.  The visit also made me realize how much I adore and respect Dr.B.  We got home about 9 o'clock and I still had to make cinnamon rolls for our Christmas breakfast...no worry.....I had no problem tackling any cinnamon rolls.  As I was prepping for them, my daughter decided that we all should play Monopoly.  It sounded great but as we all know...one round of Monopoly could last 4-5 hours.  The game went on and on from 9:00 o'clock until 2:00 in the morning.  Despite the game, I managed to accomplish several things simultaneously.  I made my cinnamon rolls, I assisted Santa in putting presents under the tree (my daughter doesn't like to see her presents before the Santa's actual visit.), and last but not least I read my daughter T'was the Night before Christmas book during the game. What a talented mother I am!!  I'm so proud of me.

Merry Christmas
Although I wasn't ready to open my sleepy eyes yet, I was awaken by an excited teenager at about 7:30 a.m.  She woke up her grandma, her dad, and last but not least me.  She was very kind for giving me an extra few minutes to sleep in.  She couldn't wait to open her presents, her eyes were sparkling with joy and happiness.  The present opening ceremony went by very smoothly as planned.  My daughter was exceptionally pleased with every one of her present this year.  Whew...I just dodged the bullet as she could get pretty upset if some of the presents didn't meet her satisfaction.  My MIL was also very happy with her presents as well.  We all were very happy with our presents to be precise.  Stella the Bulldog and Miu Miu did very well with their presents as well.  Stella loved being part of opening every single present, she got very excited.  She loved helping my daughter out.  As for Miu Miu, she was very busy moaning and yodeling.  The Presents were opened, cinnamon rolls were baked, and ham & cheese omelette was also made.  What else did I need to do?  I needed to take to meat out of the fridge and thaw the lobster tails.  Our menu today was prime rib, lime butter lobster tails, mashed potato, glazed carrots, scalloped corn casserole, and cherry pie (recipes are to be posted very soon).  Everything turned out beautifully; the meat and lobster tails were perfectly cooked.  Everything was grand, I couldn't fancy a better Christmas dinner.  By the way, we watched the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation movie while waiting for the prime rib in the oven.  The movie was stupid but I love it.  I laugh every time I watch it and so far I haven't been sick of it yet.  We all enjoyed the movie including my daughter...surprise.....surprise!!!  Well...I'm getting extremely tired right now, but before my eyes are completely closed, I'd like to wish all of you the happiest Christmas.  May you enjoy the rest of the year and look forward to a great year to come.

P.S.  I heard somebody's got a Tiffany bracelet today?  Who's the lucky duck??

Today I'd like to talk about my best friend.  It's neither a he or a she, but it's hot and sassy, and its name is Sriracha.  Here's the synopsis about Sriracha from Wikipedia.
 Sriracha sauce From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Sriracha (Thai: ศรีราชา, Thai pronunciation: [sǐrātɕʰā]) is a type of hot sauce, named after the coastal city of Si Racha, in the Chonburi Province of central Thailand, where it was possibly first produced for dishes served at local seafood restaurants. It is a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. In Thailand the sauce is most often called sot Siracha (Thai: ซอสศรีราชา) and only sometimes nam phrik Siracha (Thai: น้ำพริกศรีราชา).
Traditional Thai Sriracha sauce tends to be tangier, sweeter, and runnier in texture than non-Thai versions. Non-Thai sauces are different in flavor, color, and texture from Thai versions. The Huy Fong Foods brand ("Rooster Sauce") dominates in the USA.

Anyway, I'm going to be very honest, I love Sriracha and I don't think I want to live without it.  I add Sriracha to almost everything I eat...pizza, hamburger, sushi, cinnamon roll (I'm kidding about the cinnamon rolls), eggs, and et cetera.  If you don't believe me, try it for yourself.  Start out a little bit first to see if you can handle the heat.  The more you eat, the hotter it gets.  Sriracha can be found at most grocery stores nowadays.  If not, an Asian store would be your best bet.  Trust me, give it a try and you'll find your new BFF.

Joe's my most favorite brother, because he's my only brother....no no no, he's my favorite just because we get along so well.  We don't live in the same country; neither of us lives in our hometown.  First of all, I must mention that we didn't get along at all when we were young, we literally hated each other.  We fought constantly as if we were great enemies up until Joe came to school in the US.  Then the fight ceased, we were too far apart from each other to fight.  Fighting over an international date line would have been too ludacris and too difficult.  Joe and his wife just recently moved to Seoul, Korea.  His wife has been appointed as an attaché to the Thailand's Ministry of Commerce for a four-year term there.  I couldn't have been happier for them; they both are extremely happy about this awesome opportunity as well.  Most of all, I believe they deserve it.

Joe and I were roommates when we were in college here in Michigan.  I cooked and he did the dishes which worked out beautifully.  He sometimes did some laundry for me and ended up shrinking half of my clothes in the dryer.  I had to beg him to leave my laundry alone time after time, he finally got it due to the fact that he shrunk my most favorite skirt down to a size of a toddler.  I was furious.....so furious that I wanted to do some laundry for him and shrink everything he owned.  I threatened to destroy his stuff, if he continued to do my laundry against my will.  Since then, he's never touched my laundry ever again and it's been 22 years.  

We were together in Michigan for about 2 years, then Joe left to attend a graduate school in San Francisco...lucky him!!  It was
very sad for me when he left, he was my favorite brother and best friend after all.  I visited him in SF a couple of times before he headed back home after graduation.  Almost forgot to mention, Joe loves my daughter very much.  He spoils her rotten whenever we visit home.  We laugh over the most stupid, ridiculous, and non-sense things all the time.  Anything that nobody thinks it's funny; it's so dang funny to us especially if my childhood best friend is around.  We would laugh and laugh that I literally urinate my pants (a.k.a. pee my pants).  Joe would call me when he spots any stupid movies or shows on TV, because he knows I would enjoy those stupidities very much.  I miss hanging out with him so this blog is dedicated to Joe.....my brother.....my best friend.

Note:  Joe has always wanted to be James Bond, but he says he can never be Bond...James Bond because he's not British.....alrighty!

Early Life:
Nostradamiss Cykosyss was a Nostradamus wanna be, unfortunately, Nostradamiss was not as smart as Nostradamus. She was born in 1695 to a family of 15 siblings in a small town near Lichtenstein.  She loved watching Nostradamus documentaries on Netflix and sometimes YouTube (she preferred Netflix, because she could stream the movies through her brothers' X-Box).  She was extremely obsessed with Nostradamus (that Nostradamus had to hide from her).  She then was inspired to be like him, she determined to know the future of everything without any psychic talents.  However, she attempted very diligently to use her psychotic talents instead.  She was obsessed with herself, thinking ohhhhhhh.....I'm so smart and I know everything.  Nostradamiss was born in a family where everyone competed to talk, whoever talked without breathing for 25 minutes at the dining table won a sardine.  Winning a sardine in her family was a huge deal.  She and her siblings were very competitive at this dining table activity.  The more sardines they won, the more recognized they were.  Every night her parents had to call an ambulance, because one of Nostradamiss' siblings would pass out due to lack of oxygen.  Her parents were very... very... proud of their children's ability to become more and more psychotic, but Nostradamiss was their utmost favorite.  After she won her sardines, she would proudly hang them around her waist and walk around the village bragging about her psychotic ability (She didn't know the differences between psychic and psychotic.).  The villagers tried and tried very hard to explain to her the differences between the two words, but she disregarded everyone.  Why wouldn't she, she friggin knew everything.  Come on.....dumb villagers!!

Final years:
Nostradamiss blossomed to be forever more psychotic, she couldn't have been more proud of herself (so were her parents).  She fell so deeply in love with a young man named Insayne Indamembrayne.  To her surprise, Insayne wanted nothing to do with her and that caused her to be very upset and hurt.  For the love that she had for him made everything in her life unbearable.  She decided to stalk Insayne, she was everywhere he was.  She made sure to make herself visible to him.  One late afternoon, Nostradamiss followed Insayne in the woods.  She was hoping big time to play hide and seek with him.  She thought to herself.....saaweeet!!!!!!!!!!  Insayne eventually spotted the sardines and recognized right away that Nostradamiss stalked him again.  To his irritation, he confronted her and decided to grab the sardines off her waist and started eating them one at a time.  They were kinda rotten because Nostradamiss had them for a long time without adding any preservatives to them; although they were organics which was pretty in...in today's world.  She was definitely ahead of her time.  To Nostradamiss' shock, nobody dared touch her sardines......nobody!!!!!!!!!!!!  She was so furious that Insayne had to run away as quickly as possible.  She wasn't going to forgive him (who was supposedly the love of her life).  She apparently loved her sardines more than anything, they were her pride and joy.  She didn't know what to do, but she knew that she had to chase Insayne and punished him.  As she started running, she slipped on her own sardines.....yup her very own sardines.  She then fell into one sardine after another; she was so mad, and that caused her to not even remember who she was.  She didn't remember anything, she didn't remember her own home.  She continued to wander into the woods and she was never to be found ever again.  

Hope you learn something from this story.  "Don't get mad, get Glad"!

Note:  This story is almost based on a true story.

What a weird day it was!!  Everything seemed to be inside out...upside down.  I needed to sit back and chill and hope that things will be OK again ...... hmm.  Anyway, I'm switching gear now and I'm not worrying anymore.....just because the Mayan said the world is gonna end on December 21, 2012.  Alright y......what should I do?  What should I do for the next 16 days before the end of the world?  I've got some brilliant idea I think I should do starting tomorrow.

By the way, a friend of mine named "Sue" would like me to mention her on this post.  Hi Sue!  (Sue's one of the greatest animal lovers in the universe)  Good night.....Sue..................we love you.  Keep up your kind heart and amazing work with the animals :)

Yo..........Yo.........somebody's turning 5 today.  That somebody is our Baby Chubz.  I can't believe she' s a big girl now.  It's time for us to enroll her in Kindergarten or should we home-school her.....tough call, can't decide?  Let's talk about her school situation some other time, shall we?  She's got s few new toys today as her birthday presents.  If you look at the photograph, you'll see the squeaky pink dog.  Stella loved it so much that she murdered it within 2 minutes or something like that.  When buying a squeaky toy, we have to always keep in mind that she may swallow the squeaky piece.  Yikes.....not a very good idea.  As soon as she bites the ears or the head off, we must take it away from her.  I'm so glad Baby Chubz loves her present, she also likes catnip (I bought some for Miu Miu today.).  I strongly sense that Baby Chubz is a cat-dog.  She behaves so much like a cat...unbelievable.  By the way, Happy Birthday Baby Chubz.  We love you very much and we wish you the very best forever.
 
The current weather is 64 degree Fahrenheit at 10:03 p.m.  How magnificent!!

This post is sincerely dedicated to the "Two Fat Ladies", the two English ladies, and the best chefs on earth.  By the way, their names are Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson.  Some critics may say they were a bad influence to today's diet since they were not afraid to cook with lard, bacon fat, and other fatty rich ingredients.
 
Despite some negative criticism, in my opinion, they are charming, lovely, delightful, and extraordinarily funny.  They make me laugh every time I watch their show.  In the mean time, I learn a great deal about the traditional English cooking from them.  The series are no longer aired, but you can rent the DVDs from Netflix.  If you've never seen them in action, you must do so.  They will make you laugh so hard that you'll burn every calorie after eating their food.  However, it is shameful that Jennifer is gone, she died of lung cancer in 1999.  Regardless, her lively personality shall never die (especially from my heart).
