A is for Epol

My boyfriend met a Filipina at a restaurant. He then started showing off the precious mouthfuls he could mutter:
"Masarap ang patatas"
"Gusto ko ng gatas"
He ran out after that so he asked her how he might refer to the "carrots".
She very matter-of-factly replied:"it's kerots"

ah.. of course

congratulations, poox! for both passing the test and proving that the system is flawed! we're so proud.
back here, we take comfort in the system we have in place...which is, you pay extra money and they give you the written exams with answers already plus no practical test required! hooray! :)

The system is FLAWED!! (thankfully)


The funniest thing happened this week.. well two things, technically: (1) I passed my driving test (2) on the first try AND (2.5) I even got a perfect score on maneuverability. Is this for real?!? It's like i woke up in some parallel universe called America.
p.s picture attached is of me earlier this year when i drove a "new" car into a ditch beside the highway. here's to redefining the test drive

Don't have a cow, man

hear ye, hear ye, holy cows to usher in the apocalypse in place of those antiquated horsemen?

Apparently so with cow breathe, cow flatulence and cow raising being the highest contributor of methane: a greenhouse gas 21 times a more potent than carbon dioxide.

In the meantime, it was 65 degrees today! Springtime in December... my turn-of-the-millenium guilty pleasure.

Chicken poox

Sorry but i have yet to crack the conundrum that is poox. Choobie, i've said it about a hundred times out loud (ok, it was more of a whisper) and it still doesn't make sense. I pray to the goddess mother for enlightenment in my hour of need!

How to Type an ENYE (or the N with a Tilde)

Niña Bonita was in a pickle a few minutes ago. She could not type in her name because she did not know how to type the enye or what is otherwise known as the N with a tilde or what I lovingly refer to as the N with that sguiggly thingy on top of it. But thanks to google, her problem was quickly solved in 4.2 seconds.

How to type an enye (or the N with a Tilde):

Windows:
ALT + 0241 = ñ
ALT + 0209 = Ñ

Mac:
Option + n, followed by the letter n = ñ
(you hit Option + n first and then that sguiggly thingy comes out, then you release the keys and press n)

Option + n, followed by the letter N = Ñ
(you hit Option + n first and then that sguiggly thingy comes out, then you release the keys and press shift + n which gives you the uppercase N)
