Much delayed reaction on snow

A month ago, I think, we finally experienced snow here in the city central. We had no idea that it will snow. Even if we did, we would probably be nonchalant about it. We were already diasppointed once and another disappointment would be too hurtful to bear. Once bitten twice shy.

It was really cold that day and being frugal as we are (well, I am..hehe..cus i pay for the electric bill) we didnt even switch the heater on. But to compensate for my "frugalness" I cooked braised lamb shank with creamy mashed potatoes and steam veggies that day. It was yum, even Rita said so (she, who has such discriminating taste).

So on with the snow story. As I was saying we had no clue that snow would be falling on that day. Until I got a call from Malou around 2pm and ecstatically (with a hint of bragging..hehe) telling me that it's snowing in Hornby. I rushed outside to check if we could even get an ioata of snow here and there it was!..Gently, the wind blows a speck of snow. Little by little we were getting snow. It was so soft as a feather and for an untrained eye they even look like ashes from Mt Pinatubo (hehe..still remember that in 1991). And within 30 minutes the ground was covered with snow. We were like children jumping with glee and enthusiasm outside our flat (luckily, our neighbours were all inside cuddled up, too uncaring and less mindful about the snow..hehe)

Some places still got luckier than we did, but it's alright. We will always remember our first experience of snow here in Christchurch :)...with lamb shanks..hehe...

Dangerously Dating Dexter

I cant wait to see Dexter again. I've been suffering from Dexter withdrawals for weeks now and the symptoms are showing. Yes, I'm dating Dexter...dangerously. He is charming, quiet, reserved and soft-spoken. He dotes on his sister and works as a blood spatter analyst for Miami Police Force. He gets paid well and has his own boat. Dexter could be dreamy and perfect... well, at least for Rita, Lila and me.

There's a slight problem though. Only a matter of perspective. Depends on which side you are seeing things from. Well, you see..Dexter, aside from working for the cops, he also moonlights as a serial killer. But with a conscience. (have I become an enabler that Im even justifying his urges now? hmmm). Following the Code of Harry, he channeled these urges into something "constructive."

He decided that he will only kill the "bad guys." Those that get away with the law, he hunts them down, puts them into sleep and when they are awaken to he butchers them with great precision and disposes the useless limbs into the depths of Miami waters.

Dexter, based from the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, finished Season 2 last year and the third Season will begin this September. Cant wait to fall in love with Dexter all over again. Must remember to grab my pillows while watching though, cant bear to watch the blood all over the tv screen.

For mature audiences only. :) and pls read with discretion.
