This is hilariously brilliant! I am not sure how many girlfriends/wives out there got really pissed off with this, but I like the humour in this.
I may be a girl, but I love this ad campaign (executed in Spain).

Deep fried stuff
Category: Food
“Sweet dreams are made of these…who am I to disagree…I travel the world and the seven seas…everybody’s looking for something”
…and all I’m looking for is a bunch of deep fried Dutch snacks like these…
And, of course, being back in Bangkok, I’ll be shit out of luck.
We had these yummilicious babies while we went gallivanting in Amsterdam without Spud during our last few days in Holland. The biggest balls on the right were Bitterballen and unfortunately, I can’t quite remember what the rest were, except that I wouldn’t mind having every single one of them again. Right now.
They were so, so good that I took a picture of them (which I had forgotten till now!).
OK. I’ll tell you one thing though: those were really bad stuff…they make my mouth water just by looking at them.
Not very good for my mental state of mind.

One Woolly Wombat
Category: Baby Milestones
Typically Australian, this book is a gift from one of the Mom friends I befriended when we both were still pregnant. We caught up several times after our babies were born and thought that they were a very cool couple to hang out with. I mean, who gives books to kids about one woolly wombat sunning by the sea, and 5 pesky platypuses splashing with their feet!
The book totally rocked, and while reading it to Spud the other day, she actually started chuckling at one of the pages that has six cheeky possums looking for a treat. We got to the page with nine hungry goannas wondering what to cook before she screamed out to tell me she has had enough. The book just stops short with 14 slick seals heading out to sea.
Why 14, I don’t have a clue. What I do know is that the book is a pretty neat book for kids. Never mind the counting, but the way it was written is so deliriously kooky, even I like it.
Sadly and very unfortunately (for us), the couple has moved out of Bangkok and went back to Australia recently. That means, we have one less cool family to hang out with and do a play date for Spud.
Oh well.
Reading the book to Spud certainly reminds me of them. I hope they are settling in well, back in Australia.
