Since I am unable to move and be up and about, I got to reading a lot of year-ender articles. I absolutely love these article summing up what has happened. There are topics and issues that are familiar and there are those I just encountered just now.
I have been reading about the decade’s cybercrimes when I got to open several tabs which made me search for diamonds and in turn made me read about NatGeo’s SuperDiamonds.
I don’t know, there is just something about crime and diamonds that go together.
Oh well, now I am off to read more. Who knows, I might learn something new today and I am sure I will 🙂

I wrote about my son helping out in the kitchen in this post.
Presenting the finished product: our Jell-o No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake dessert:
Yes, it was a finger-licking, lip-smacking and two thumbs up dessert. What bliss!
After putting away their textbooks for the homeschooling lessons, the two kids are pretty much free to do whatever they like and sometimes they either go out and play or help out in kitchen/home chores. Cooking and the smells associated with it always draw them in the kitchen to offer a hand or two.
I bask from the compliments they freely give 🙂

There was this classic television commercial about a little boy who was playing basketball with a pro player and I just had to look for it otherwise I will toss and turn and can’t sleep just thinking about it. I found a video of course.
Of course it seems unbelievably possible that the little boy beat the big guy. While I was watching the video which someone uploaded in YouTube, I was laughing and thinking, it could have been human growth hormone that the tvc was promoting and not evaporated milk, LOL.
Watch the video here:

Family reunions are happy events as loved ones gather to enjoy each others’ company in once-in-a-while moments.
If there is one thing that makes love ones feel awkward with would be to think of topics that will sustain the conversation and keep the communication a two-way street.
It probably feels weird being face-to-face with a cousin you haven’t seen in years and where the only memories y0u got between the two of you is childhood spent together playing games during weekends.
Of course you can’t possibly bore your relatives about the nitty gritty details of your work unless they are interested nor should you explain in detailed version how you bought your new condo unit or how you got the best auto insurance quote or maybe even about your stock market portfolio.
What should you talk about then?
- Update each other about how you are doing but be general with the details unless they ask you.
- Introduce your children (if you have some) but do not spend too much time enumerating their best features.
- Try to find a topic that will interest them.
- Play fun games.
- As much as possible, avoid gossiping about those who did not make it to the reunion.
Last of all, enjoy the moment of togetherness 🙂
