Den's 30th Birthday Party

Dennis decided that the best way to celebrate his 30th birthday was to go bowling. Seriously. So I planned a part at the local Palasad and we ate, bowled and played video games all night. It was really fun!

Here are some of the photos (once we figured out how to use the flash...)

A sad day in football

It`s official. We`re out. But, I have to say, England really didn`t deserve to move on. As painful as it is to admit, it`s the truth. Let this be a lesson for us to get it together for the next time. We have 4 whole years to make a change; then bring it like never before in Brazil.

Let`s see what happens.

To be continued...

Quest to 21.5K

Getting up on a Sunday morning is not getting easier as the weeks go on - surprise surprise. But once I'm at the Running Room and we getting going, and especially when we finish, I'm really happy I got up.

This morning we did 9km for the first time in this clinic. We are starting week 5 of our training and things are now moving quickly. It's a beautiful day and quite hot. I can only imagine how much harder things are going to get as we move more into summer and hot weather and as we add on distance to our runs. This morning was hard, but good. I think we do 9km again next Sunday and then we move on with distance.

14 weeks from today is race day. Still motivated...

World Cup News







Today I PVR'd the England vs Algeria match. I'm not sure why I bothered. What a terrible game. 0:0. England really? It's like you don't want to win?!? Fingers crossed that they can pull it together for the next one. Geeez!!

Korean BBQ

One of the many perks of dating Dennis is his mother. She is a fantastic cook! She has introduced me to so many wonderful Korean foods. One of my absolute favourites is a meat dish called Kalbi. This is basically Korean ribs marinated in a mouth watering sauce served with rice. I can't describe how great the flavour is in Kalbi sauce - sesame, garlicy yummy goodness. A few summers ago President's Choice came out with their rendition of Korean BBQ sauce. I was intrigued, so I tried it. Amazing! Honestly it is so so good. Not Mrs. Kim good, but very very good.
So here's what you need to do now, like right now: buy the Korean cut spare ribs at Superstore/Loblaws and marinate them over night with onions in the sauce. Cook them on the BBQ or in a pan on the stove top and enjoy. You will not regret it!

Thought of the day....

Sometimes I think I take work and life too seriously. At the moment, I'm so glad it's Friday; it's time to relax.

UFE London - June 5th 2010

Den Den competed in a fitness competition yesterday here in London. He's been training for months! His diet was so boring and strict that it would test anyone. Egg white, chicken, green veg for months...not for me, but he did it!
At yesterday's show he was judged on fitness (how his muscles looked, how well proportioned he is etc...) and a "sport model look". He did great and came in 4th in his division. A girlfriend of mine from high school also competed and she looked amazing. Check them out!

Could it be true?








ABC to remake ‘Alias?’ This may be the best news I have heard in a very long time. I was a huge, no HUGE fan of the show Alias. My friend Madamba and I spent countless hours watching this show, some episodes two and three times - don't judge us.

This week there is talk that they may bring it back to fill in the void created by Lost. BRING IT BACK! BUT, only if the original cast come back and if J.J. Abrams (genius) is behind it.

Fingers crossed!!

Read about it for yourself: ALIAS
