I turned 39 years old last Thursday I was planning to celebrate it with a good steak but instead I had my first ever bought sushi. Okay, not actually sushi with raw fish but with imitation crab instead. They call it california rolls. I still think it's an improvement in my part. I am so proud of myself because I did not gag on the fishy taste of nori. I hate fishy taste and smell. However, I admire non-Japanese sushi eaters. I see them as sophisticated and worldly. I'll work on the raw fish before I turned 50, I promised myself. I would like to vary my diet and train my taste bud.
My goal is to be more active physically and socially. I am shaken by the mass shooting in an elementary school in Connecticut that happened last Friday. I, initially, thought of my niece because my sister and her family live in Connecticut and there are not many towns in that State. I called my sister immediately upon hearing the news and she told me it was a town nearby. My sister is upset. This tragedy happened too close to her home. I bet everyone is shaken when very young children were slaughtered in the very place that you think they were safe. The sad part is it happened too many times in this country. I cannot sit and watch anymore. I am planning to get involve with this issue -- Gun Control. I am considering homeschooling or moving back to the Philippines once Benji starts school if nothing changes...
