my twin american sis just called and there were a gazilion of updates from her side. and the most exciting news of all: she's got a boyfriend! there's tremendous joy deep inside me. i realized when i treasure someone so much, i would feel her joy and her pain. from the very beginning of our friendship, i never feel a pang of jealousy or envy toward her. may our friendship last forever! i am also happy that she's planning to do her graduate studies in ireland. long live our globe-trotting experience! :)
my boss is leaving this friday. so is another boss in december. things are changing constantly, but being in california for a month or so, i am starting to get over things quickly. i'm nuts about cooking these days. the spring rolls were a hit in the house and though the curry puff pastries burst out opened, they tasted pretty good overall. my next cooking experiment? banana muffins! right before megan leaves.

earth, wind, and fire
yep, that's the music group that i currently enjoy listening to. i don't pay attention to the lyrics, but their song beat is so catchy and urges you to dance along. am always looking forward to 'september' or 'let's groove' whenever i tune in to the radio station during a drive.
found a purdue alumni in my stat class! was definitely thrilled. as soon as she found out that our alma mater is the same, she immediately gave me the email address of her indonesian best bud. 'just in case if you need a job.' she said. wow, can you believe how a common ground can bring two strangers together? i think a sense of identity plays a significant part in this. hopefully i'll get to know her better over the semester.
after being nosey through friendster or blog, i found out that many of my pals broke up with their guyfriends. at the same time, a pastor brought up a good point during the sermon last sunday.
when you are listening to your significant other's woes, do you quickly try to resolve the problem? or do you simply listen to her? sometimes a woman just wants you to listen. so maybe you men should just ask you ladies this question before she starts firing up with the problem. 'honey, do you want me to listen or give my opinion?'
i think that works fairly well. considering we ladies tend to keep things to ourselves. (and let disappointment engulf ourselves) this lets the man understand your feelings and at the same time, you don't feel like you're initiating something that he is supposed to do.
cool eh?
