Nachos

Category: Food

A bunch of nacho chips topped with chopped fresh tomatoes, shitake mushroom, some parsley layered with generous layer of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, all chucked into the oven for a quick snack.

This is so, so good when served piping hot, especially when you are feeling peckish.

“Be very careful of what you wish for, it might just come true. And sometimes, if you so much just fleetingly think about it and if you want it hard enough, you might just get it. Eventually. When the time is right. Take things as they come…see what happens. These things will somehow find their way to you in ways you can never imagine.”

Wise words Mom used on me as a reminder whenever I happened to bitch to her about things I’m extremely unhappy about, mainly career-wise. Those quotes I hold dear, juxtaposed and extended to my personal life.

The “it” in this case are the happenings in your life; your very innermost desires and thoughts…things that you only share to those who are close to you or perhaps, something only you yourself know. Could be big, could be small. Either way, when they happen to you, they are likely to make a dent in your life, inevitably shaping your future. These things work in their own mysterious ways.

Changes abound! I’ve been bitching about it for a while now. But soon, life at work is gonna go on a little detour. A change I’ve been waiting for. I’m psyched and ready for it.

Dexter

Category: Entertainment

Would you root for a serial killer? Seriously. Think about it. Probably not.

With Dexter though, you might just change your mind. It is intriguingly dark, twisted and just gripping. Dexter Morgan is essentially a Miami-based blood spatter analyst. Nothing wrong in that, except that he is also a serial killer by night. He doesn’t just kill anyone. He only kills if they are killers. He would also stake out killers who somehow managed to beat the judicial system. It is all for a good cause in making the world a better place. Or is it? On one hand, he definitely is a killer, yet, he only eliminates the really bad guys. To top it all, he is smart, appears nice almost all the time, makes people laugh and good with children. So where do you draw the line to not like him? That’s what makes this series worth watching…it’s hard to categorize the black or white. His narratives throughout the series are pretty hilarious, reflecting his inner voice when he is subjected to the different circumstances in his day job working for the Miami Police. Each episode is just intense.

The irony of it all. Here’s a nice serial killer working for the police department. You will be on the edge of your seat hoping that he will not get caught each time he kills. Trust me. You’d actually cheer for him. And as it turns out, his boat which he uses to dispose the dead, bears the same name with my blog. Well, not that it means anything.
