Love is about knowing all the facts
--good and bad--
and caring about the person anyway.
Where romance is nuance,
love is encyclopedic.

—Lainie Keslin Ettinger

Been talking with my girls tonight
Don't know if it's because of the
Wedding invite from my nephew
Or just feeling ... je ne sais quois...

************************************

Don't know why this blog
was not finished

Can't even remember
what it was that
We talked about.

Probably about
How things are
not constant

& with the changes
& moving-ons...

We can't hold onto
what we knew
from way back then.

Or perhaps
it was about love
that lasts

& love
that doesn't

or just finding
true love.

That's why the quotation
is all the more

Poignant...

We are going to Frisco
in about 9 hours' time.
Can't wait!

Everyone has been warning us
About the cold weather there
How it would be colder than LA

Strange that it may sound
Although the 3 of us....
Wait,
There are always the 3 of us
Yet,
We can't wait to have
Our 'alone' time again...
Seriously..

Anyway, major shopping today!!!!!!
at Beverley Hills no less...
(nod approvingly to self)

Totally indulged myself
Bought stuff that
I don't normally buy,
at least not at the
Price I paid anyway

There is a 'spirit' of abandonment
of 'heck-it-for-once'
So I bought
'Designers' stuff @ so-called sales prices
Even undergarments
@ $7 per piece
That's over $10 each...

Blimme...
I must be still
B****y drugged
Outta my mind....

Well, might get
Better buys in
San Francisco

I was reading my blog
& realised that
I wrote my last blog in
Kinda drugged stupor.

But seriously
I did feel some differences
this time round....
There was some icy-ness
within the family.

It's really sad
as if the 'magic' of this
Once-so-happy extended family
has lost its pixie dust.

I know the individuals
are trying very hard to
Make our stay pleasant
But we do feel the difference.

Guess I had always been awed
by my Auntie
Who was able to hold the whole
Family of nine together....
that even her daughter-in-laws
loved her
& I wished to be a lil part of that.

But I realised that every family
Has its fair share of problems
and what one sees, or what
One chooses to see,
is but a
Facade

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It's a surreal feeling
With us receiving
A million and one messages
Wishing us Happy Christmas
& we have not reached there yet.

Busy with shopping now,
We were torn with buying things
Now for the festive season's giving
or

Buying later
for More reduction.

Well... pamper we did,
with extra clothes
Shoes and stuff

This time round
the weather is much colder,
both meteorically and otherwise..

So everyone
enjoy your Christmas
with your in-laws and out-laws
coz it wouldn't be forever and
you will just miss them
when they are no longer around....

We are in LA - finally!!!!!

This is one of the most stressful
but is gonna be the most memorable
Christmas we would have
for a long long time.

Having been so busy since
beginning of the month
With events galore
and the big move

We kinda forcefully
Moved into a smaller flat
and left the place like a tip
Following morning
without so much as
A wink of sleep.

Our last trip was 5 in the morning
Which ended with a shower
Change of clothes
& grabbed the suitcases
Partially-packed way back then
& off to the airport

Poor Victor had to do
So much salvage work
for us....

So our trip consisted of
vague memories of
food, water, some movies
more food....
& final arrival.

Comatosed the first evening
We managed some shopping
A trip to Universal Studio
& another shopping trip today
Christmas Eve...

Anyway... we arrived!!!
