Send me a shapeshifter

Saturday 9: Half the man I used to be
Please scroll down for Weekend Funnies

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

1. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that your were ten years ago? psychologically, yes. dermatologically, no

2. Is there something that you have to give all or nothing to? all to life

3. Have you ever gambled? What have you bet on and for how much? postgrad stuff - I get it done, party on my bucket list. I don't and party on the bucket list gets more intense

4. Can you sleep anywhere or does it have to be in a bed? in a tent during a snowstorm is fine. send me a shapeshifter

5. Tell us about the most disastrous or embarrassing first impression you've ever made on someone. nah..wala...none

6. Do you have a memorable "ripped clothing" moment in your life? No? How about in someone else's? not memorable enough for me to remember who but it must have been on a movie

7. What's changed on your blog since its inception? ...a redo? ...a change of pace? ...or is it about the same? frequency of posting and tweakings, the memes I try, drop or continue doing; mostly I'm exploring

8. If you could travel back in time and whisper something to yourself ten years ago, what would it be? snap out of it!

9. Okay, let's have it! What's the craziest, most impulsive thing you've ever done? that weekend in Kuala Lumpur; tried to forget it but the passport stamp screams I did it

Weekend Funnies: Arab student's email to his Dad
Please scroll up for Saturday 9


Another hilarious email: I thought of that wide grin on the Funnies badge and loled at the similarity with an image at the end of this post.


Dear Dad,
Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but Dad, I am a bit ashamed to arrive at my college with my pure-gold Ferrari 599GTB when all my teachers and many fellow students travel by train.

Your son,
Nasser

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The next day, Nasser gets a reply from his dad:

My dear loving son,
Twenty million US Dollar has just been transferred to your account. Please stop embarrassing us.

Go and get yourself a train too.

Love,
Dad

Tarunita, thanks for dropping by

Thom, KL has no evidence, except the stamp lol! Try a bucket list, I'm keeping mine as inconspicous as possible. Dad probably has more Ferraris than sons :D

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
