It's such a pain wondering what to cook for dinner, but to tell you the truth I actually love cooking, even though, let's be honest, I'm not that good at it. BUT, I am learning after all. This sunday I'm going to cook Pininyahang Manok. There's actually a ton of useful (and delicious) recipes on this blog, and while the serving sizes seem to be mainly oriented towards families, with a bit of tweaking you should be able to cook the appropriate amount for the number of people you have.
A useful link! Who would've thought?!

HI all. Exams finished on friday, so it's all about that holiday time fun :P I managed to drag most of the boys with me (not that it was hard) down to Perth for an end of exam pub crawl, and judging by my (and everyone else's) hazy memory of the night, good fun was had by all. Unfortunately I also lost my scarf that night, and there was much rejoicing. Jerks. Eh I'll get a new one. Shame on the boys who didn't come you lousy pikers, and please remember that with the approaching winter the roads will be slippery, so try to drive safely.

Last exam tomorrow. Just came back from dinner, it was my dad's birthday today, almost forgot in all the exam business =/
It's kind of funny...my father and I didn't get along that well in the past, although that's changed a lot since my mother went to Canada. It was recently that we both admitted that we didn't get along because we're just too much alike. The thing is, in my life, my father was never really anything more than a person who gave me advice I thought I already knew, and an authority figure I resented. As the years went by, I grew to resent the person that he was, and I grew apart from him. I became the person I am because, to me, that was everything my father was not. Yet, I am my father. The same cheeky irreverence, the boyish playfulness, and the "I don't give a fuck" attitude, are all the trademarks of my father when he was young. My uncles and aunties even tell me I look like him when he was my age, with the same mannerisms. It's funny, he and I walked our separate paths, yet in the end I am still my father's son. My parents have always been relatively affectionless ( though you musn't mistake that for loveless) unless I coax it out of them, so I guess its natural that a space forms between parent and child, especially if you have two very alike personalities under one roof. I guess it can also explain why I can be emotionally distant at times. Years ago I swore to myself that if I ever had children, I would shower them with the affection that I never recieved, because sometimes all a child wants, all anybody really wants, is to know that someone loves them, and it only takes a simple hug or gesture to convey it. But when I think about how distant I can be at times, I wonder if I can really be that sort of parent. Hell, I am my father's son after all. Just in a weird mood right now
Have you ever gone out of the way to be with the one you love?

Gah, I give up on Summer and Seth. More Marissa hotness please.
A favourite trick of mine is to nuke some cookies in the microwave for a few moments (10-30 seconds, depending on the hardness of the cookie), resulting in (if done correctly) warm chewy cookies. That's right. Call me Iron Chef Jasey.
P.S - Pete is back.

Jessica Simpson
Just saw the video clip (and thus, heard the song) "These Boots Are Made For Walking" By Jessica Simpson (ft Willie Nelson). Although Willie's presence is little more than lending his name to the single, drowned by a more vocally dominant Jessica Simpson, the song is better than I expected, though to be fair I didn't expect much. Video clip however A++++ CLICK NOW

Fuck Microsoft. So much for "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
On an unrelated note, Jessica Simpson (ft Willie Nelson) is releasing a single of "These Boots are Made For Walking". The video clip should be...interesting.
