Yes, no, and in the air tonight

Musical Monday: In The Air Tonight
Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem

It was either Don Johnson or someone whose name I didn't pay as much attention to. Globe-trotting, short-term boyfriend mentioned that he briefly worked with one Miami Vice actor. Then off he went out to finish a meeting while I stayed behind to finish viewing bundles of photos. In one snapshot the guy he pointed out as the actor preceded him on the stairs of a plane. My mind ambled along opening scenes of The Real McCoy; the roar of Ferrari as Burnett and Tubbs sped on a dark highway interspersed with Phil Collins' bark-like "oh lord, oh lord, oh lord..." God I must have existed in the 80s already :D

Monday Mayhem: Yes or No
Please scroll up for Musical Monday

Today's meme is based on the popular YES or No.

We will focus on the internet. Answer yes or no for each question. Because I am so very nice, I will allow you to tell one story about one of your answers.

HAVE YOU?

1. Googled yourself?
I thought it was silly, but I got to sort something someone said. Read: skin the little bug alive



2. Googled your neighbor?
Sometimes we're on the lift together; and as the mercury on the neighborliness thermometer plunges, so does the interest to bother about remembering that I don't even know their first names




3. Used Google maps to spy on someone?

You should be asking if I used google maps to locate Mt. Ararat






4. Spied on someone via Facebook?








5. Friended someone on Facebook that you don't know?
It's the other way around







6. Tweeted gossip?
not my style duh







7. Followed a celeb on Twitter?
I'd rather follow my own dreams







8. Kissed any one of your Facebook friends?
and loved it!




9. Regretted an online relationship?
knowing when to stop has its advantages







10. Dumped someone online?





11. Played a prank on someone online?








12. Spied on a High School bully online?
The bully in my high school must have had brains enough to victimize only those he could






13. Written a nasty email?
At my age, if I have to attack someone, I'll do it face to face







14. Sent something X-rated via email?
received - yes







15. Searched your state's/locality's database for predators?








16. Done an online search on someone's traffic offenses?
If it's not my concern, I don't bother







17. Ordered dinner online?








18. Purchased something over $250 online?








19. Left an anonymous comment?








20. Checked out someone else's email (as in spy on your s.o.)?
it's not me

Harriet, I had time :)

Amanda, Phil is one of my faves too! I like many of his other songs as well

Diane, I didn't realize this MM would become sort of an 80s flashback but well, it's always good to reminisce the days :D

Peggy, I don't know. Last time I saw him perform was at the Queen's Jubilee at the Buckingham in what year was that... I've forgotten which year was it. I will always like his hits though

A little boy's tiara

It's a week abundant with life's little pleasures, and I'm enjoying such a great Friday mood with the FFF ladies over at Susanne's Living to Tell the Story . If you are dropping by from Mommy Moments, please scroll down a bit; thank you. Now the highlights of my week -- 1. Birthday dinner at Cabbages and Condoms . A friend put up with my fondness for dining out and exploring restaurants. C & C supports social development programs of the PDA, an organization that complements the Thai government's effort to promote family planning. 2. Cafe de Tu . We took the sky train to get to a posh mall for dessert. There's a lovely ambience for a slice of chocolate banana cake and a long glass of iced lemon tea. It was sheer relaxation verbalizing ephemeral wishes. From the high ceiling pretty lamps cast off a warm, soft glow making the place conducive for twilight dreams. 3. Work over lunch at Fuji . Now comes a hard, raw bit. I had to carry work to one lunch bu...

Newborn Days and Foggy Mornings

Friday's Fave Five: Foggy Mornings (Please scroll down for Mommy Moments) i. Refund . The business office refunded my visa problem expenses. I had to pay the fine but they took care of everything else which was a pleasant surprise as I didn't expect them to and I already conditioned my mind to face a few deprivations. A colleague who is privy to the vice president told me, "They refunded you because they need you." I don't know whether I should believe it. Foreign employees are sometimes treated like necessary evil around here. But well, it's the refund that's the fave. ii. Foggy mornings . I counted two early mornings of fog. I could not see buildings 2 minute-walk away. The illusion of cold made me smile. iii. Bible Heroes , Ceejay's new DVD interest. He never wanted to watch it when he was 3. I'm glad he's back to christian stuff. For now it's goodbye, Buddhism. iv. Phone conversation with Mama . Mozart's (on left side...
