Day to day ramblings of Tammy Wang
The desserts are terribly good. Except I had too much to eat before this. Had i known it was going to be so good, i’d have saved more room before!!
The cook.
I’ve always thought Marcia is a great home-maker. She has tastes in home deco, green thumb, and cooks fantastic desserts. I wish i were such a good housewife.
By the way I got myself a little Xmas present too.
Accidentally found this pic of my parents.I think its sometimes between 1985-1987. They are in their early 30’s.
Today we went to the dog market with Gordo’s brother Ricardo and my friend Mary. Was a long drive. According to my past experience, going to a dog market is a very dangerous thing to do, because we always ended up bringing one back. At least one.
But today I kept reminding myself to never settle for less–It has to be some dog that I couldn’t leave behind. In other words, cute is not the word, it should be super-cute.(Deep down I was hoping to find one exactly like Dalilah:P)
We found 3 miniature pinschers in the market–one is too big, one is full of pimples on her forehead(skin problem—>not healthy enough???), the last one is normal, brown, bigger than Dalilah but not immediately fun.(too tamed—>character problem??? sick???) Anyway I did not feel the excitement I was supposed to feel.:(
There were many many bunches of Chihuahuas too. They were sharing one big box. It was cold and drizzling and they were left in the open, so these little puppets snuggled among themselves.Gordo would pick up one and said:”This one is cute.” I would put it in my arms and said:”Yes. but nah, I am not taking you home.” Then he would pick up another and said:”This one is fun.” I would look and said:”Ya, but it’s not special enough.”–In the end, the whole team did not find the right one.
I think when you intentionally go out and look for something, you could not find it. And you find it when you don’t even expect it.
But, I am gonna find anyway,maybe next week we will go again?
P.S. Doggies are poor animals. They were left in the cage like orphans waiting for someone to adopt them and give them lots of loves and warmth and attention. I really felt bad each time I picked one up and had to put them down again, because they look so much more comfortable in my arms than in the cold cage. But the thing is , I have been such a bad dog owner before, and I hope this time I could take things a bit more seriously.
my x-ray shows that I have a dislocated joint. I have a 3-day massage session in the hospital and have to wear a neck corrector for one month. It just keeps getting better and better…
!!!
Cannot type Chinese but there is one and only one Chinese word that can describe my current status: Bei!
–I am literally having a pain in the neck. Really painful. No reason, not that I know of…
Report of the week:
Saturday lunch was at Latin (FD class reunion). Herina was on diet, only Mark showed up. Geez nobody is working any more except for Mary, who is tempted to quit end of this month. parasites. hahaha–no, seriously, everybody worked our a** off, but it happened that for one reason or another we happened to meet at one joint that we really looked bad, hahaha…
Mary got coupons in Asia International, so sunday we went for bruch, and since that my pain in the neck had gotten worse I had to rushed home.
**Now I can’t even turn my head.
Let me write down this terrible trip because I tend to forget things.
Saturday Dec8 evening train 6:04—>arrived at Beijing west station a bit over 4pm on Sunday Dec9.
Got to hotel 5 pm–>showered, rested.
6:30 Dinner at Hard Rock.
8pm walked out with some HRC shopping.
Went to bed early.
Found out hotel had channel TVE. Very interested, wish we had that in home.
Middle of the night woke up with a stomach pain, wondering if it was dinner or the junk snack I had on train…
Everything looked ugly in a couldy day. Everything grey. Forgot to wear pantyhose as underlayer, feeling cold in the night out.
Monday Dec10
Less grey, a bit snow/ice.
After shower went to Embassy. Waited in line outside the gate for 15 minutes until Gordo showed his foreign face.
Got in, more waiting.
Whole morning, waiting for some chop on a new passport. Like rocket science.
Meanwhile talking to another couple in the waiting lounge, who were finally getting their marriage certificate.
Walked to the bank for payment—> more snow. This time it was snow, not heavy but not ice.
Had some spicy food around the hotel for lunch. Tasted so good.
After that, nap—> went to Xin Dongfang shopping mall. Bought bottle of wine, cheese, 2 decks of cards, pringles.and other snacks for train trip.
Back to hotel. Showered. Drink at hotel lounge. Dinner at hotel. Peking duck was good, great actually. Pity I was full before I ate anything.
Back to hotel room, watched more TVE, same news watched 3 times still did not figure out what happened.
Tuesday
Bright day. Gordo got uo earlier. Went out to take pix.
I stayed in bed for half an hour more and showered.
Breakfast at hotel. Packed. Checked out.
Train started at 12pm, again, 2 of us in the cabin.
Played cards, drunk wine, cut cheese, slept, bs…ect. Very very boring trip. Train music bad, very bad.
Heater was on all the way, very hot.

The whole trip, only good thing was the FOOD.
