a cheesy western music was playing earlier, and now enya's on. for some reason i now lost the fascination that i had when i was in highschool and college for her music.

i'm trying to teach danielle and john how to make the bamboo top spin. well, at least we're having fun laughing at each other. the kids are growing so fast. dani's big for her age. she's only 7, already in 2nd grade, the youngest and the tallest in her class. (the smartest too, but i won't say that out loud, lest i be accused of bragging).

arthur and meg might join me tomorrow on my trip to toronto. they've always wanted to go with me everytime i visit my brother, and i do hope that they will come.

i'm flying back to the US tomorrow. it's a trip i need to do, something i look forward to and dread at the same time.

hah! i found something interesting about the clavitisomething fungi! i knew there was something fishy with my sister's work. DNA sequencing my butt - they're making LSD! says here in the book that the alkaloid that makes up lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD, the drug that made everyone happy during the hippie years) comes from claviceps purpurea. i'm sure you're wetting your pants from excitement in reading this.

i am feeling a little bit sick today, but i had a good nap this afternoon, and some korean spicy noodles. and my sentences are starting to sound funny. maybe i am regressing back to ilonggo grammar on top of the english language. hrmph.

i miss my family.
