If I'm able to say this right... I'll kick Poca's ass. Let's try...

"My love, meet me at Lake Chaubunagungamaug."

or by its complete name ---

"Honey, take me to Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg."

Hmm.. I'd probably stick with "can we go see THAT LAKE?"

This blog entry is a by-product of my research for Accent Modification. In the process of downloading audio guides for proper pronunciation of cities, states, countries... I found Lake... oh you know now.

What the hell ???!!!???

So sick, so wrong in so many ways.

• The guy who did it? Sick. Wrong.
• Seeing it in the news? ---
• The word "ejaculating" in the headline? ---
• Writing about it? ---

I dunno. If I had my way, this wouldn't be in the news. And no, I'm not even explaining myself.

US court fines Pinoy for ejaculating into co-worker's water bottle

08/11/2011 | 05:34 PM | GMA News > Pinoy Abroad

A California court has ordered a Filipino to pay $27,000 for ejaculating twice into a co-worker’s drinking water bottle, a US television station reported.

The judge ordered Michael Kevin Lallana, 32, of Fullerton, to pay for the victim’s loss of wages and medical expenses, news site KTLA reported Wednesday (Thursday in Manila).

Lallana admitted that he ejaculated into an “attractive" co-worker’s water bottle because “her lips had touched it." But he told detectives he never thought she would drink it.

It rocks indeed

Our boss sent us an email about encoding our goals for the year in this online tool... special note for me was --- personal KPO (Key Performance Objective) is required for work-life balance.

Now, that's really something. A company that values its people integrates personal development mechanisms into its performance management system.... I can't help but compare with the ex-employer. We were not allowed to put in any goal that will not have an impact to performance. NOT ALLOWED.

Indeed, my employer rocks!

Oh, and I now have more reasons to blog. For my personal KPO, I submitted this blog and said that I will post at least one entry per day.

Gardening Lesson

These are the flowering residents of our fire exit. From (L-R) White Angel, Pretty Minnie and Weeds (hindi kinaya ng puso ko na bunutin lang sila at itapon, nilagay ko sa isang lalagyan).

Almost a three weeks ago, I thought I was going to lose them. I failed to give them TLC (water, cultivate, conversation) for two weeks and their leaves started to turn yellow. All the flowers dried up.

Pretty Minnie's case was tougher than the rest. When I got this baby, there were two intertwined main roots. Since she's growing too fast, she no longer fit her pot. I had to "separate" the two main roots. I held her roots with my bare hands and the "mud" felt really warm. My last attempt to revive the dying plants was to put the two Pretty Minnie's in different pots.I was so scared, I thought she'd/they'd die. I was so scared to find out that I'm not meant for gardening - maybe I didn't really have the green thumb.

Days passed by and Pretty Minnie just looked like she's ready to pass on. She looked dry and... dead. Honestly, I was just waiting for all the leaves to turn yellow. I was ready.

Yesterday, I saw more than twenty flower buds on Pretty Minnie! Miracle? No. I was merely impatient.

And that's how Pretty Minnie taught me an important lesson in marriage. Just because it looks dry, dead and there are no flowers in sight doesn't mean you're losing it. Or that you're not meant for it.

TLC. Faith. Patience.

This morning, I did some cultivation. And I forced the hubby to water the babies. We shouldn't let them die. We shouldn't let IT die.

Thank you, flowering friend.

Sour Grapes

We're still talking about this.

Kainis. Ito ang nanalo. Hindi dahil panget ang output ok? It's just that... kayang kaya rin namin ito ng mga bekla.

Grrrr.... Bakit ba hindi kami mapusok sometimes.

Peace tayo Lola Reg.

I should be writing

... an Accent Modification Course for work but the "block" showed up last night.

This visit, I don't resent.

The ruthless block came with an explosion of creative juices and white light.

I am yummy!
