I hope to share this podcast with you as it has helped me view things in a different perspective. He might as well have personally dedicated this post to me as it totally hits everything I’m going through in the head…I have exerted precious energy on too much unwanted stress…been focusing on how the world has turned against me; when I should change my attitude towards how I approach the tribulations that come my way; the way I relate to the world. Prayer…Meditation…to be in the Buddhist practice of “Present Moment Awareness” where we learn to focus on the task at hand and not to put too much worry or stress on what is to happen next…What I have only chosen to see is the austerity of my life…how much I carry in each moment…and what I should do is to “take it one thing at a time”…and I have lost all my focus…for those who think there is a myriad of obstacles that are stacked on your weary shoulders, take a moment to listen to this message.
I should be scourged for forgetting to blog about this yesterday….Viggo turned 48 last October 25…it should be deemed illegal that someone like him is still sinfully libidinous. So in honor of my obsession admiration for him, I’m going to ramble the little I know of my imaginary “querido”:
1. Born to a Danish Father and American Mother
2. Speaks fluent Spanish, French, and Danish…
3. is a shoe eschewing fiend and prefers to do interviews without them
4. is a staunch Democrat and environmentalist
5. has one son, Henry
6. moved to Argentina at a young age with his 2 siblings. He is the oldest of 3 boys.
7. doesn’t own a mobile phone
8. fell in love with his co-star Hidalgo (the Mustang); adopted him and gave him a home in Topanga Canyon.
9. is an accomplished poet, painter, song writer and photographer
10. has a scar on his upper lip due to a brawl he was involved in when he was young (the barb wire did it!)
11. was hesiitant to take the role of Aragorn against the continuous prodding of his son, until he conceded…it ended up being one of his best career choices.
12. always played the bad guy prior to LOTR and was even in horrific movies like Leatherface (in which he played the cannibalistic antagonist).
and lastly (because I still have to prepare dinner before I run off to yoga…)
13. is in love with Gretchen Leonardia and has plans of eloping with her …
Ok so the last part, I totally made up. But wouldn’t it be sa-weeeeeeeet if it were true? Man if he only knew of my growing fixation, he’d want to start processing a restraining order against me…but shhhhhh….don’t tell. Just let me creep into his room one day and let me have my way with him. To covet him is divine…
- OVERHEARD: “How about this weather we’re having? They say it’s a dry heat but tell that to my armpits.”
- I just had a funny recollection…it’s one of those, “I remember back when I was employed…”, flashbacks. I used to buy software from a man called, Richard Diechlic. So basically, he was Dick Diechlic. It’s hard keeping a straight face when you utter his name.
- Yoga is starting to get a little more interestiing for me…you know how I’ve always moaned about having stinky Zubin (whose scent very much resembles a very very ripe…guava )in the same class? Well, I’ve got a new classmate. I’m not sure if I care to know his name,but he smells like feet. Wet, hot and sweaty feet…eeeew.
- I have discovered a new instructor. His name is Rodney and he’s awesome. He teaches Ashtanga which is a first for me since I have always learned Hatha under Tom’s tutelage. The weird thing though is the first time he met me he immediately went on his, “Have we met before?” approach. Too bad, I was starting to respect him…
- How about that UFC fight eh? Tito Ortiz spanked Shamrock…again!
- had a garage sale at a friend’s house last Sunday. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a few outfits I’ve been missing from my closet being sold for a buck a piece. One of these days, I’m going to wring my husband’s neck…
- Maia bird is a certifiable hellcat.
- I have been appointed co-moderator of the BoothBrennan Yahoo Groups by none other than the mightiest chick to ever yield a pen, Laura Dugan. Call me List-Mommy.
- I am in dire need of a ladies night out. Someone, please…rescue me.
- Happy Birthday to the October celebrants: Viggo Mortensen, Hugh Jackman, Hiroyuki Sanada, Aio Gallaga-Esteban, Leilani Tad-y, Rojevette Paclibar and Zubin Tiku. I owe you a shot of Surfer On Acid…
Update:
Here I am flogging the BoothBrennan Group for all you “Bones” fans out there. I am afterall, a co-mommy of this new and wonderful ship **grins**
Yup, the personality disorder song suggestion sums up my entire being. I am going nutters…

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE - On the First Day of Christmas My True
Love Gave to Me (and then took it all away).
Aaaah, a life without love is a life not worth living…and I have hung in there just because, no matter how morose my outlook in life sometimes is, I’m always a frickin’ hopeless romantic. Show me a good movie or even a friggin’ commercial that has the capacity to tug on heart strings and I’m back in the world of the living once again…and yeah, Viggo and Hugh Laurie lives there too! **smirk**
As you may also notice, I am also all about “angsty love”…it makes my world go round.
Have been offline for awhile…well, mostly just lurking…
My Mom had just undergone a triple bypass last Monday (as she was feeling the effects of an impending M.I the week before); and my sister (who had flown from NY) and I were at the hospital from 5:00 am till 11:30 pm…and while we were anxiously waiting for the Cardio-Thoraxic Surgeon to come and brief us on how the operation went, I had come to take an arcane glimpse of my universe…
and I prayed…prayed fervently more for anything I had ever prayed for…mostly for strength…so when I saw my mom back in ICU after being wheeled in from recovery, I showed her how strong I could be…for her…because I didn’t want her to see me break down…and my sister and I were her cheerleaders…she did an extraordinary job hanging in there…and after they removed her intubation tube, with a coarse voice she whispered, “you are my reason for living”…
When I finally dragged my weary body home, I plopped down in bed, and let everything go…I cried…whatever I had held in that morning, I just let it all go…I am just so beside myself with gratitude for everything our relatives and friends have done…their prayers and show of support were so overwhelming it carried us to the heavens. And for all those who have kept us in their thoughts and in prayers, there is not enough words to express how grateful we are…
