My family and relatives have always questioned my decision to remain, in their opinions, "remote, isolated and cold" Ohio. Flakes of snow falling gently towards the white blanket that used to be green grass, as laughter from children making snow angels, while the "puppies" roll on their backs with wide smiles, those are the simple reasons.
For the few moments, the blazing temperature of 12F does not matter.

Still an engineer.
For more than a month now, I am the "Domestic Engineer" of the block. This position has perks unlike any jobs I ever had. Amongst the daily responsibilites are bus driver, chef, cleaner, judge, cleaning woman, listening ear, painter, plumber, gopher, handy-man, and most important one of all .... BANK.
I can hear my parents screaming from somewhere else on the globe, "YOU HAVE A DEGREE IN ENGINEERING!" Sigh, unfortunately that is very true, despite my lack of devotion to the trade.
There are similarities in the disciplines, I am still cleaning up spills, re-routing supplies (in this case food and garbage), still fixing things and most of all I am still paying the bills.
According to M Tobe, "Once an engineer, always an engineer."

What is your winning speech at the Oscars?
Who will you thank and how will you thank them?
The fastest, most visible 45 seconds of your life to express your gratitude for life will be played universally.
This is my draft,
"Ah Ma oi!! Thank you to my Grandmother, silently strong omnipresent, a vision of focus when I close my eyes. The muses, the beautiful children who test the limits of patience. Thank you to those who stood aside and applauded as I continued on the yellow brick road. Thank you to those who never gave me a chance and tried to steer my life into the black-hole. Thank you to those who tried to break me. I have reached my goals due to you."
*Ah Ma refers to my late maternal grandmother.
This were thoughts I had a few weeks ago, publication of thoughts have been delayed due to scheduling conflicts.

The Last Sunday (cont.)
Alas, the final cheer and scream and dog hugging.
Colts are heading to the Big Game.
My love for New England runs deep, however, my admiration for the under-dog cuts deeper. This was a great game, nail-biting, see-saw touchdown scores.
One of my "puppies" gets excited with my level of interests, he thinks raised arms for a touchdown score is equivalent to jump and hug. Usually this results in a "doggie"tackle, I cannot resist a 120lb collie-retriever.
So the Sunday ritual comes to an end, at least for a few months. There is also a possibility the tube will carry a good game of football next weekend too. Football, only feet allow. Hahaha.
Fred and Ron, sorry about the Steelers stinking so bad this season. I mean they really really really did badly, so bad that ..... hahaha. Got'ya!

The Last Sunday
This is the last football filled Sunday!!
Boo hooo hooo.
A few pointers and demands for future Sundays:
* A CORDLESS COLOUR T.V. is very useful,
- When a room also needs painted, correctly and neatly.
- in order to conplete the "fix-it" list.
- if you want clean dishes.
* portable no spill coffee maker.
- see above for reasons.
I would have loved the Saints in the Superbowl. They can use a win for New Orleans and hear "The Saints are Marching In." Instead the Bears are heading to the Big Game.
Currently the Patriots are pounding the Colts. Belichek, please give the kid, Manning a chance to the big game.
***back to the game.
Oh yeah, today is the first major snow in town, about 1/2 inch.

How time flies
Can't believe January is already over!
Where has the time passed to?
I have been enjoying hiatus from employment, especially the last position in the firm of Hell, ran by a conniving Devil. He will get his retribution, but not from me, I am keeping my hands clean.
All in all, it has been a good start. I have severed legal ties with the bastard who stole 8 years of life. Imagine being the slave, in physical, emotional and monetary terms, while the rest of the family continue with their denial. Yes the signs and pleas were there, however the in-laws continue to turn the blind eye. A medal of good acting is awarded for the lies told, may his parents live with their decisions that "ignorance is bliss". My children will definitely be protected from the vice that their father have surrounded himself with. My children have learnt gratitude, a quality that their father lack. They have seen the darkness and realize the clouds have cleared. An invaluable lesson the children learnt is honor and honesty. Simply defined, he "bit and tried to break the hand that fed him". He will get his retribution, but not from me, I am keeping my hands clean. (Behave Luigi, let this go.)
***************************************************
The rain from the last weeks have found their way into my basement too. A few inches in the basement is still a blessing in comparison to the inches that fell. 2 of the new additions to my home really enjoyed the abundant mud. They ran, slid and ROLLED in the mud! When fatigue kicks in, these minature horses trample into the house, decorating little paw prints where ever they go. Awwww....... not funny! (Pictures will be posted soon)
****************************************************
"Do I watch Oprah?
What do I do all day?
How do you survive?"
- these are some of the questions thrown my way lately.
Well, I am the local "bus", chef, cleaning crew, dog walker and my favorite, TIM THE TOOLMAN. Yeap, I play with power tools daily. Currently I am working on the dining room and home office simultaneously. Shall I reiterate my non-preference for wall paper covers. This is an enjoyable hiatus, being the full time parent to alot of kids, fix up the house and discovering. Having fewer "wants" is cheap, avoiding places with cash registers also help.
Dear John and Keepers, thank you for your support. I am adjusting fine and someday will fulfill my promise to help.

FOOTBALL
A battle has been raging on the definition of "FOOTBALL".
Football according to dictionary.com, varies by the language or country of origin, simply, whether you are in or out of the USA. American football or just FOOTBALL.
Let's us look at the obvious differences:
FOOTBALL aka soccer
1. The most popular sport in the WORLD.
2. With the exception of the goal-keeper, no hands allowed!
3. Legendary champions are recognized world-wide: Pele, Maradona, Zizou, Ronaldo, Becks.
4. An international sport where every country is given the same opportunity (except the USA).*
5. The only protection are on the shins and places you don't want to grab (unless you are looking for a whooping).
6. Football widows really exist.
7. Fans will give up their lives to watch the game.
8. Employers buy "Football Insurance" during Cup fever.
9. Football has deceiving pretty faces.
10. Hair accessories are unisex when worn in football, it is sexy when you wear your wife's hairband to a match.
11. A universal chant. Oh-lay, Oh-lay, Oh-lay, Oh-lay, Oh-lay, Oh-lay.
12. CNNi devotes time to Football scores.
American Football, aka NFL:
1. Played with the hands.
2. Extreme amount of protection is worn. (wuss)
3. Men encourage women to dress as skimpy distraction.
4. Loyal fans are somewhere out there. (this is a delicate subject in this town)
5. Fans are usually on the couch.
6. The players always conceal their faces.
7. If an NFL player wears his wife hair band to practice, er, that is just not right.
8. No universal chants.
9. No airtime on CNNi.
Football or Football, when one season ends the other fills in. All in all, both footballs are followed by me, played in the backyard, keep me up at night, finally, none of the ankle-biters like it on the tube.

I rather be ...
I started watching the Patriots - Chargers game, ate some chips and salsa, yawn.
Somehow the level of excitment was lower than usual, the game was technical, full of fumbles and intercepts. Both teams are formidable, having plowed every opponent they met along the way. Chargers have been a strong team. The Patriots have shown their might Belichick style. Finally a welcomed commercial break, I accidentally retrieved the list of shows recorded on the cable box.
Behold!! Superbowl Top 10! *** pressing PLAY.
Yeah, I saw that game and that game and that game too.
Wow!! Even the anti-football 9 year old began cheering, she has a soft spot for Jerry "FIFI" Rice. Good to see the God of Football in action, number 16, Joe Montana.
Once again, I was crowned the football great of the house.
*cheering
Time flew, Patriots 24 and Chargers 21. Nothing was more exciting than watching the Greats of Football, especially when the crowning moment is bestowed upon .... ME.

The latest news
Have you heard?? Football is getting a shakeup!!
Beckham did not renew his contract with Real Madrid, instead he has signed a $250 Million contract with some unknown club in LA.
What the **** are you thinking?? To L.A?
What kind of exposure will you get in the US? The Americans play football with their hands!
David Beckham, you are a great captain, an highly skilled player, for the money that will be funneled to you please try the following:
1. Please increase live telecast of football games, especially when the World Cup is in season, not delayed transmission.
2. Please do not flaunt that headband on the streets of LA. The last thing we need are the little gangsters running around the city streets with headbands shooting up neighbourhoods for a pair of high cut shoes.
3. Please keep your wife from picking fights with neighbours. There is enough scandals and filth in the news.
4. Please give as many interviews to the American media as possible, there is a need for more Foreign English on the air.
5. Encourage other team mates to LA, Zizou, Ronaldo, Owen and the CROUCH (a comic relief).
In case if you havent figured it out, this is about football as in SOCCER!!!!

All the way
DONE: FSU 41, OSU 14.
The irony, the coach from the winning team is from Ohio.
Update: a fitting close, Sarah Brightman and Andre Bocelli, Time to say Goodbye.

Sad sad sad ending to the undefeated champions.
Columbus may just about see a riot or 2.
Do you know where your car is at?

Tomorrow morning
At the rate the Buckeyes are getting whooped at the moment, 20 point spread at the 3rd quarter, I can only conclude the following:
- there are a lot of nervous law enforcement officers in Columbus.
- there are a lot of drunks now.
- there will be a lot of people losing money tonight.
- there will be a lot of hangovers tomorrow.
- I am glad I did not put any money down.

What a night
On this chilly Monday evening, 34F outside, a fiery fire burns in the fireplace. Dinner, smoked beef brisket, grilled chicken with romaine hearts, mac & cheese, roasted bell peppers with provolone cheese are comfortably settling in the digestive tracts. Ahhh, sipping the last of the coffee for the night.
OHHH!!! What a run!!
TOUCHDOWN in the first 16 seconds of the game!! Yeah!! What a run by the Buckeyes!!
Halftime score: Gators = 34, Buckeyes = 14.
Err.... 3rd quarter score is still unchanged.
** still sipping coffee.

Too close to home
Bangkok, crowded with street merchants, Tut-tuts (pron. toot-toot) filled the streets, a cab fare is negotiated before boarding, food stalls omnipresence with aroma of fragrant meats and vegetables. All in all, Tranquility. That is the Thailand I will always remember. Bali,chimes from beautiful gongs immersed with the clear blue seas and perfume of teak. That felt like such a distant memory, recent unsettling events in South East Asia has been difficult, for anyone.
Ten years ago was the last time I was home, the political and emotional turmoil has taken a new landscape. Bombings, natural disasters, upheavals of pain, seems like the most recent news of SE Asia.
Unfortunately the 9/11 has reached SE Asia. The close knitted countries have a new challenge, continue to exist as seperate entities or make an effort to assist. Any joint efforts will strengthen their resolve against terror. Somehow a generation is lost in the abyss of anger, the generation who forgot about grandma or grandpa fighting for freedom and peace.
To those who hurt, please stop. Think about who you are hurting, sri wari kup. Peace to you.

The Problem with..
The last month of carefree, almost, routine has been refreshing. All good things must come to an end, *wail!!! Or maybe not.
The problem with getting comfortable in house slippers and torn jeans is the comfort level.
*ooops have to go pick up kids from school

Back to FOOTBALL
I cant believe we are closing on the final stretch of football season.
What am I to do with Sundays, Monday evening, and the occasional Thursday?
*still pondering on the alternative.
*still thinking
*cannot arrive at an answer... yet.
*scratching head
*scratching neck
*scratching ****
No answer yet.
All I know is that I have just saved some money on a manicure as all my finger nails have been digested. Can I borrow yours? All the excitement from Sunday!
What games!!
A clencher of the closer from the Steelers and the Bengals. How the hell you missed that field goal!! What a closer from the buckeye duo on the Steelers team to squash the hunger of the Bengal's crave for the Superbowl. The only worth some praise to the Steelers this year, I may have to revive my first love, the 49ers. (Chewing Left Hand)
That is not the same Bears from a week ago. Not the same. Not the SAME!
Have the Chicago Bears become err ... err... errr ... Cuddly CARE BEARS?? Sad Sad Sad, so sad, it is even worse on my 3 year old's 17" Dora the Explorer, tv-combo (Chewing Right Hand).
Brett Favre, you stay cool, get a shave, you still have a mean arm!!
But I think you should take a rest. Still in love with the Superbowl XXXI, against the NE Patriots. Final score 35-21, sadly my dear lovely town of Boston cannot win a place in my heart then. That was THE GAME!! 99-yard Superbowl record kickoff return by Desmond Howard. Brett, also stretch his body to touch the pylon to make sure it was a TOUCHDOWN! Time to let your body rest my man. Then come back and WHOOP ASS!
On a similar note, the girls in the house are counting down to Superbowl too.
They can reclaim the tv on Sundays and Monday evenings. Sundays will not be filled with chants, jeers and lines beginning with "my grandma can do better ..." I guess all the body clashes, spit, sweat, slips, and the game is not their cup of Barbie tea. They better change brand.

The first thing we did for the New Year
At 12:02AM, my kitchen was buzzing with plates and silverware. WE WERE HUNGRY!! Out came the cheesecakes (2 kinds), baked apples and coffee.
The shorter ankle biters had apple juice instead.
3 hours ago we were jumping and running through the house, laughing along the way. I believe all the hot water was replaced in the hot water heater, due to the long play time in the bathroom. The kids were acting silly and giggly. Most of all, they were happy.
HAPPY!!
Laughter and giggles as we came out of 2 tumultuous years, filled with anger, violence in the presence of youth and innocent.
That was the past.
Today, we are Happy.
