Year: 2013

Usually, at the start of a new month, I like to talk about the highlights of the past month, then mention a few things I’m looking forward to in the new month. However, I sat in front of my laptop yesterday morning, thinking about April and I got stuck… I was wondering, when am I ever gonna be able to write “Happy New Month people!! Last month was just great!”? When is last month going to be “just great”? Yeah, I know if I think hard enough, I can come up with a few good things that happened in April……

Good morning people… As usual, I had a horrible weekend. Friday wasn’t so bad… NEPA was good to me that day so we had power most of the day. It was on Saturday that the devil decided that he didn’t like that I was almost smiling. “How dare she almost smile?!” he roared. “I must put an end to this at once!!

You see, I grew up watching things like Oprah, the Bold and The Beautiful, As The World Turns, Santa Barbara and later, All My Children. My parents never ever sat me down and said, “Ngo, when you grow up and your boobs get bigger, do not bang another woman’s husband”. No… I learnt my right and wrongs from these soaps…

Good morning people… Has your friend ever called you up late at night crying? She’s crying and you keep asking what the problem is but she can’t speak through her tears… A million things race through your mind. You’re hoping that it’s her boyfriend and he just dumped her, because that’s the kind of news you can handle. Getting dumped is bad enough for her to weep so bitterly, but it’s not so bad that she can’t get over it in a few months. But she’s crying too hard, so you know it’s not her boyfriend. Then she finally manages…
