I think for almost a year now, the House has pretty much been Kitteh Central, what with my cat Siopao lording it over everything.  Siopao claims ME as her hyoomin so we pretty much have meowing conversations and kitteh scritches every day ( Read more... )

So my cousin is getting married and she is the first person in our side of the family and in my generation to get married.

Thus, this precipitates a LOT of discussion between Mommy Duck and my paternal grandmother, Grandma Alien, because of course, I am the eldest cousin of my generation and also, the first born girl. And incidentally, still ( Read more... )

I've mentioned in previous posts that my Mom is also a Fangirl. So there's reason for her to smile and listen indulgently when I squee over Steve McGarrett and Danny Williams and Hawaii Five-0 (2010).

She still prefers Original Flavor Five-O, though.

However, we had this conversation:

Mommy Duck: You know, I've figured out why you like this new ( Read more... )

If there were such a thing as blogs and the Internet back in the 1960s, I'm sure my mother would've been one of the first to be squeeing online.

Mom's history of fandom is legendary. If there are any Filipinos out there on my F-list - know that my mother was one of the original Nora Aunor fans. And yes, she was a shameless, shameless Nora Aunor / ( Read more... )

Found these lovely pics via alexoloughlinrocks.com but since I don't want to gank on someone's bandwidth, I decided to put these in my photobucket album.

My mother and I have a long-standing argument about the 2010 version of McGarrett & Danno versus the 1968 version. Mommy Duck is of the opinion that the 1968 guys have better dress sense (even if ( Read more... )

Anyone who's been hanging 'round my LJ long enough will know that yeah, I've had my brushes over the years with the Weird and Scary.

Understand that I don't go around Looking for This Kind of Stuff.  But apparently, I'm a bit sensitive to it.  I don't See Them.  But I've learned to trust my intuition for this over the years.  So when I start ( Read more... )

This is, more or less, the conversation I had with darling Mommy Duck just before I managed to drag her off to see Star Trek for the SECOND time.

( Mommy Duck & Me... )

Mommy Duck went to the market today.

Mommy Duck saw a cute little baby boy (probably not a minute over one year old) with blonde hair and blue eyes, sitting amiably in his pram, apparently determined to accompany his nanny to the market.

Mommy Duck made the acquaintance of Blue-eyed Baby and Nanny and Baby proved to be a charming, affable young ( Read more... )

I had to do it. This had to be recorded for posterity.

This is what my Mom told boyfriend-less (and happy to stay that way) me today:

"Oh duckling? I've just found the place where we can buy your wedding dress!"

My Response:

a. Falls off chair.

b. Flails.

c. WTF?????!!!!!

d. Dies

So Mommy Duck is now almost as addicted to watching Initial D as I am and just finished watching Initial D Third Stage. Over breakfast today, she announced that "Of course Ryosuke is gay. Look at him racing with Takumi at the end of the movie, he says he never wants to let him go! And Takumi gave up his girlfriend to join his racing group. They ( Read more... )
