Blog Action Day 2008 Is My Thanksgiving Day 2008

I know, I know. Thanksgiving is a month away and we don’t officially celebrate Thanksgiving Day here in the Philippines, but what the hell.

It’s also a nice way to work out, especially since I’m fat and too lazy to go to the gym or run or bike or do sit-ups. Helps my lung strength too (I really should stop smoking). The best benefit I get from swimming in our pool is I get to be alone. I get the chance to meditate about my life. You know, important stuff. And now, I’d like to share these things to you in a piece I’d like to call…

First of which is “FUNNY CATS”

Wimmens Baffle Me

Usually, when something baffles us, it’s only a matter of time before we figure it out. The more we learn from these perplexing things, the more we understand their nature. We eventually uncover the truth behind them. But sometimes, the more we learn about these things, the more they frustrate and bewilder us. That’s exactly what women are to me. Baffling. Perplexing. Frustrating. Bewildering.
