Precious Than Watch: Seiko

When I say Seiko, you say watch.. get it? uh well.. that was before I met Seiko.. not the watch you silly, but yeah when I hear the word Seiko, the first that comes into my mind is the brand of watches (and/or jewelries). Then I met the real Seiko.. more precious than any watch I have seen. The mommy behind Seiko’s Diary.

It was her name that caught my eye. It was her witty remarks on my entries that made me want to know her more. It was my envy (in a good way) to her five amazingly pretty girls that made me want to be her friend. At first I thought she was a native of Japan. Her name sounds like Japanese to me. I found out she was actually a Filipina married to a Japanese. Since I discovered her blog it has been my wiki (almost) of Japanese culture. She tells it all with much gusto and enthusiasm. She gives her readers the chance to know more about the culture there.

Entries by entries, my interest on her grows bigger. I feel like she is a mature version (I don’t want to use the term older hihi) of me. She is adventurous and have a strong beliefs on life and marriage. I envision myself doing the things she do when I am older.She is a loving mom too and very fun to be with. I give high regards to her (and an ASTIG remarks) on how cool she can be with her daughters . She let them fly on motorcycles. Isn’t that super duper cool??????

Aside form coolness, she is also a loving daughter to her mom. It melts my heart to read her entries about her mom and what more, her mom reads her blog! Now I know where she got her coolness. It’s in the genes. And her relationship with her Mother in law is great too.

Who would not want to be Seiko’s friend? And so when she asked me if we can be kumares, I was more than pleased and honored. It was a great feeling that amidst our geographical differences, our friendship blossoms. It was a very nice feeling knowing a person as sweet and friendly as Seiko. It was such an honor, calling her my kumare.

It would be fun to think that my Sati will be benefiting a lot from her five pretty ladies.. LOL

My OCD Strikes Again

I usually don’t approve a comment right after it hit my dashboard. I wait for a while or for a time when I am awed by its number, It’s when the time that I would take out my notes and list the people who comment on my blogs. It is less tiring for me and works for my OCD best. You see guys, when I list your name and put all your comments, I make it a point to get back at you and answer back or to that effect. It’s my Obsessive compulsive disorder that usually wins. So if somebody commented on an entry with as simple as “nice post”, I am forced to think and get back at them with a comment too about the”nice post”. I could not bear to think that I left out a comment. It would haunt me for days and nights. That’s how my OCD works.

Would you like a tour on the mind of a person suffering from OCD? haha.. you would not want too. It is as busy as a bee making plans, drafts etc.

The Octomom’s Reality Show

It seems that the news about Nadya Suleman and an upcoming reality show is not for US consumption. From what I understand, the show will be produced Eyeworks in England. This television producer, though have a US arm, provided the contract for the reailty show. It means that the US arm has nothing to do with it. If I am right, Eyeworks in England is famous for their shows about Americans and their, uh, well, unusual life. Two of their biggest reality show is about a obesity, two American who weighs almost half a ton. In the promotional materials it can be read:

“Half Ton Dad is the story of a father, his family and a country which currently has 15 million morbidly obese citizens.” source

Would you watch it? Reality shows are not my cup of tea. I really don’t believe in reality shows, because it is not real. The mere thought of a camera following you will make your behavior a bit refined or different. And then this octomom reality show..what else does she have/need to show?
