We stopped by the grocery and I was just watching the &#x22;Dirty Dancing&#x22; rerun on TV when my dad told me that Cholo was dead.&#x26;nbsp; Apparently, he licked the chemicals that were used to rid&#x26;nbsp;his cage of fleas.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Haay, he was such a sweet dog pa naman, very&#x26;nbsp;malambing because he had the habit&#x26;nbsp;of following me everywhere and licking my toes so much that&#x26;nbsp;I had to playfully scold him everytime he did it.&#x26;nbsp; He would always look so glad to see me after work&#x26;nbsp;that he would try to jump on the sofa.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I&#x27;ve had other dogs before, many of which have lasted longer than &#x22;my little boy&#x22; but this is the first time that I&#x27;ve been really attached to a pet since all the other ones were too big for me and they also weren&#x27;t allowed to go inside the house.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Thank you, Cholo for being such a sweet dog and goodbye, dear one.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;</description>

<title>north park</title>
<description>had the king dao spareribs with red sauce (P 165), shanghai spring rolls (P 128) and the fried beancurd skin with shitake mushrooms in oyster sauce (P 119) that franco of &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://tableforthreeplease.blogspot.com/&#x22;&#x3E;http://tableforthreeplease.blogspot.com/&#x3C;/a&#x3E; had recommended along with salted fish with chicken and fried rice (P 128) that was also the recommendation of the other food bloggers. doused all of it with watermelon shake (P 73).  if you go beyond the bloody appearance of the king dao spareribs to savor its sweetish aftertaste and just concentrate on its burst of flavor, then everything&#x27;s a hit except for the shanghai rolls which i found a bit so-so.(i know, i know, i&#x27;m hard to please).  total damage is 700 bucks for 3 people with plenty of leftovers. (we&#x27;re girls you know, not carpenters...) heard the fried bread with cream dip is good too (P 79 for 3 pieces) though i haven&#x27;t tried it myself yet.

super must-try: the salted fish with chicken fried rice which i give two thumbs up</description>

<title>Dark Knight (2008)</title>
<description>the latest installment in the Batman franchise, this movie is a wild dark madcap look at Gotham&#x27;s deepest recesses. this retelling lived up to its hype - with heath ledger&#x27;s standout characterization as a psycho that just simply wants to run amok and sow anarchy just for the heck of it, to the stunning vistas depicted as part of the Hongkong and Gotham skylines, to the dark and brooding overall look and mood of film that separates it from the cartoonish Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher depictions of yore.  The only sore spot about it was Batman&#x27;s voice that was so effing distracting but other than that, it was awesome</description>

<title>sincerity restaurant </title>
<description>had a late lunch with my officemates at sincerity restaurant at binondo last saturday. the kikiam was the best - had whole slices of pork that was encased in  the familiar reddish brown wrapper. good and authentic unlike the supermarket and store bought ones (tasted five spice and a bit of coriander in there, if I&#x27;m not mistaken). the oyster cake was good too though a bit gelatinous for my taste as well as the chami and the crispy chicken though I was too full already.  Food was authentic (at least compared to the Hongkong quality of food) down to the hole-in-the-wall diner nonexistent ambience.

adventure plus: got acquainted with the confusing maze that is Chinatown and got to ride in a pedicab which I haven&#x27;t done in</description>

<title>which tarot card are you? (from mikee)</title>

Ages. Transformation. Involuntary change&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;Verdana&#x22;&#x3E;Temperance is another card of aspiration, but also of much change. It often represents complex situations. Positively, you can harmonize contrary forces.&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;Verdana&#x22;&#x3E;Temperance is, on a surface level, about &#x22;tempering.&#x22; The original pouring from cup to cup might have been about cutting wine with water. So this is a card about moderation. There is, however, another angle to the card, that of merging seemingly impossible opposites. Sagittarius, the centaur, merges beast and man into a unique creature. And then there is the bow and arrow, one moving, one stationary, working together to point the way. Temperance may be, at first glance, a warning for&#x26;nbsp;you&#x26;nbsp;to &#x22;temper&#x22; your&#x26;nbsp;behavior, to cut your&#x26;nbsp;wine with water. But it may also be a reminder to that seemingly irreconcilable opposites may not be irreconcilable at all. Belief that fiery red and watery blue cannot be merged may be the only thing standing in the way of ble...</description>

<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;img height=&#x22;440&#x22; alt=&#x22;Spain&#x26;#x27;s Rafael Nadal (R) is congratulated by Switzerland&#x26;#x27;s Roger Federer after winning their final tennis match of the 2008 Wimbledon championships against  at The All England Tennis Club in southwest London, on July 6, 2008. Nadal won 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7.     POOL  AFP PHOTO / RYAN PIERSE (Photo credit should read RYAN PIERSE/AFP/Getty Images)&#x22; src=&#x22;http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/74/fullj.4b8c23650c24a99a3378999b4aaea69b/4b8c23650c24a99a3378999b4aaea69b-getty-tennis-gbr-wimbledon.jpg&#x22; width=&#x22;660&#x22; border=&#x22;1&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Had come home from watching hancock last night only to find the fed all bothered and flustered by nadal&#x27;s brute strength.&#x26;nbsp; Didn&#x27;t get to watch it in its entirety because I was the one getting bothered and flustered by the mere thought of the fed losing. (hahaha, affected daw o!) &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Call me a fed fan alright but I can&#x27;t seem to get&#x26;nbsp;over the fact that Nadal is so yabang on court, pompous even, in the way he slaughters opponents by the sheer power of his steriod-induced, galdiator-like muscles. Plus, the way he looks at the person he&#x27;s playing against (i.e. sharp beady eyes and fist pumping in the air) just does not float my boat in any way. Compared with the sheer grace of movement that is Federer, Nadal is bereft of class, if you ask me.&#x26;nbsp;though to give credit to the guy,&#x26;nbsp;he is a predator extraordinnaire with animalistic-like power that you cannot help but be awed by his brute physical strength.&#x26;nbsp;Federer is a masterful tactician while Nadal is, well, a bull. &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Oh, w...</description>

<title>lolo dad&#x27;s</title>
<description>had the 7-course degustation menu at lolo dad&#x27;s saturday night. delightful melange of flavors consisting of caviar, foie gras, sea bass, chocolate ganache and creme brulee, among many other symphony of flavors.
only downside is I paid and it cost me an arm and a leg, but whatever...it was worth every penny :) ( @ 3,000 per plate)

photos and entire French degustacion menu to be added</description>

I&#x2019;m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I&#x2019;m articulate and classy.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;I&#x2019;m not from New York . I&#x2019;m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don&#x2019;t think I&#x2019;m overreaching at all. &#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that&#x2019;s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won&#x2019;t get me to central park west.

<title>the eloquence of silence</title>
<description>&#x3C;P&#x3E;Silence is truly comforting especially when we make a living out of making noise. &#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;from pico eyer&#x27;s &#x22;the eloquent sounds of silence&#x22;&#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;&#x3C;a href=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101930125-160855,00.html&#x3E;http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101930125-160855,00.html&#x3C;/a&#x3E;&#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;adapted from wysgal&#x27;s post.&#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;&#x22;We have to earn silence, then, to work for it: to make it not an absence but a presence; not emptiness but repletion. Silence is something more than just a pause; it is that enchanted place where space is cleared and time is stayed and the horizon itself expands. In silence, we often say, we can hear ourselves think; but what is truer to say is that in silence we can hear ourselves not think, and so sink below our selves into a place far deeper than mere thought allows. In silence, we might better say, we can hear someone else think.  &#x3C;P&#x3E;Or simply breathe. For silence is responsiveness, and in silence we can listen to something behind the clamor of the world...&#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;Silence, then, could be said to be the ultimate province of trust: it is the place where we trus...</description>

He&#x27;s violently sublime :p a real sportsman on and off-court.&#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;But truth be told, in my heart of hearts, I was secretly rooting for Novak Djokovic - history books be damned.&#x26;nbsp; &#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;&#x3C;IMG height=325 src=&#x22;http://www.atptennis.com/5/images/deuce/summer2007/djokovic_pool2.jpg&#x22; width=749&#x3E;&#x3C;A href=&#x22;http://www.atptennis.com/5/en/deuce/summer2007/djokovic.asp&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;/A&#x3E;&#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;I think everything about him is endearing, hehehe :P The Sharapova and Nadal impersonations, the competitive and &#x22;never say die attitude&#x22; with aching muscles and all, and the youthful effervescence and humility that makes&#x26;nbsp;him so unlike&#x26;nbsp;Nadal - who I both like and hate because of different reasons. Let&#x27;s just say I enjoy the thought of him creaming his opponent yet getting creamed at the same time. &#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;I like this picture of Djokovic - it&#x27;s so fiery and whimsical all at once.&#x3C;/P&#x3E;</description>
