A Case of the Mondays »

A rainy, dreary morning is what I woke up to.  A massive headache is what I woke up with.  Sitting here at home drinking water and taking some aspirin are the remedies I hope will be effective, but its probably just a stress headache.  I am trying to stay on top of everything that is [...]

Don’t Know Much About History »

Another day, another play! I can certainly make a habit of this. I hopped on the metro again and rode it into the city to see a 2pm performance of The History Boys. Here is the plot outline I found online which is so much better than I could have explained it:

Saturday Activities »

Today was a very eventful day. After waking early and taking in an extended morning run I watched some television before making my way over to teach the SAT preparatory class I have been working with for the last month and a half. It takes me about forty five minutes to get there [...]

Comfort In Music »

Driving around today from the dry cleaners to the bank and to the car dealership for some final paperwork, I popped in a cd that T made for me shortly before his extended trip back to the Philippines almost two years ago. Simply titled, the disc is a compilation of songs that holds a [...]

Maligayang Pasko ng Pagkabuhay! »

Happy Easter, everyone! Hope you enjoyed the day and spent it doing something productive. I made my way over to J and N’s for brunch. It was a wonderful experience as J’s parents drove in from New Jersey and arrived shortly before I got there. The food was plentiful and scrumptious [...]

Busy Saturday »

Yes, today was spent on many productive activities. First of all, we got a new SUV today. We now are the official owners of a 2008 Jeep Patriot. How American! This is a brand new SUV that is also new to the market. After five hours in [...]
