The gunfire around us makes it hard to hear.
But the human voice is different from other sounds.
It can be heard over noises that bury everything else,
even when it's not shouting, even if it's just a whisper.
Even the lowest whisper can be heard over armies--
when it's telling the truth.

-The Interpreter
what a great quote

in unrelated news,
jazzercise class is FUN!
our instructor makes us do all these sexy dance moves like thrusting the pelvis and grinding the hips and she says "Move your butts! Or I'll do it for you!"
SO CUTE! its not everyday that i see middle-aged women rocking out to the Gorillaz

have a safe halloween!
p.s. Anjam Bahl where are you now

The West Hollywood Costume Carnaval
is the largest Halloween street party in the United States! The Carnaval spans over one mile of historic Route 66 in the heart of West Hollywood. Santa Monica Boulevard is closed between La Cienega and Doheny Boulevards to host over 350,000 attendees. Many will be wearing some of the most outrageous, unique Halloween costumes anywhere.

In addition, four stages will feature non-stop talent, dancing and costume contests.

The entire week will be filled with special events, costume contests, and, of course, the world-famous costume party on Santa Monica Boulevard Halloween night.

i'm so excited! i'm making my costume as we speak!

i just want to give a HUGE shout out to my sister
for helping me pick out thee perfect pair of black faux-croc pumps,
for patiently waiting in the dressing room while i tried on collared shirts and sweater vests,

i don't know if this is a filipino thing or what

but my dad always makes beef-potato-cabbage soup
and sometimes he throws in those big chunky round bones that look like donuts
and inside the donut-shaped bone hole is that squishy brown cube of bone marrow

do you know what i'm talking about?

well i freakin love it
but the thing is, that squishy brown yummness is the size of a sugar cube and usually there's only one or two of them in the whole pot

and hmm there is no poetic way to say this so i'll just say it straight out
Christmas is coming up y'all...i don't want any presents, i just want a spoon and a big ass bowl of bone marrow

mann does anyone know what i'm talking about

p.s. shut up with the fat kid jokes, haters

[edit] oh crappy nevermind...i just looked up the nutritional value and its like 800 calories for 100g. bah

my parents are getting kind of old
old enough to get senior citizen discounts
and in a few months my dad can start collecting social security benefits

it feels like twenty years passed overnight

lately i've been watching my dad cook,
and not just watching, but asking questions and memorizing the recipes
always good to know these types of things

the other day i went to the library and i saw this old man at the check-out desk with a stack of library books
and do you know what his books were about?
how to use computers and the internet.
HOW cute is that.
we young folks take things like technology for granted

and do you think your grandkids will look you up on the internet? pretentious question, but if your grandma had a blog, would you read it?
to me that's one of the coolest things about the internet and public journals... even if we don't live to see our grandkids or great-grandkids, they can still get to know us in the first-person point of view

in case my future grandchildren ever find this moldy old blog of mine, i have one timeless piece of advice to pass down:
learn a few of your parents' recipes yo

p.s. be good to your parents!
p.p.s. Nick Riddick where are you now

"Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something."
-Last words of Pancho Villa

I am a pencil
ready to write
my life
-Jessica, 4th grade

I Open My Eyes
Take The Crusts Out
Stretch Myself And Check (If I Haven’t)
Returned Again And Everything Is Okay
Still There Is Something Missing
Like All The Walls
-Staralfur, Sigur Ros
