Today is March 14th, or 3/14! HAPPY PI DAY!
Things I can do to celebrate:
- Eat half an apple pie (since half the pie is ∏ -- eating the whole pie would be 2∏. And piggy)
- .. That’s it.
(Hmmm. Maybe I’ll do the whole pie thing on June 28th, for 2∏ day. Hehehe.)
Next day to look forward to: StarWars Day! May the Fourth! Maybe then I’ll download the lightsaber app, wear my Snuggie backwards, and engage in battle with my siblings.

This Lot is Not For Sale
There’s a gigantic empty, unkempt lot along Temple Drive, beside the, well, temple. We were driving too fast for me to snap a picture, but on the lot was a sign that declared: “THIS LOT IS NOT FOR SALE.” (I don’t know how this is different from not putting up a sign at all and leaving the public with no way to contact the owner of the lot .. Although there’s probably a whole reason to do with fake deeds -- Brooklyn Bridge and tralala. But I digress.)
That sign got me thinking. It’s empty and not looked-after, and it’s been not-looked-after for as long as I’ve known it. Twenty and almost-a-half years have come and gone, and no one’s made a move on that lot, not even the owners who so steadfastly refuse to sell it. Why?
The muni-muni home from White Plains to Xavierville came up with a theory, probably brought on by lack of sleep and inhaling the whole of EDSA earlier that morning.
Beside the lot is the Mormon temple, which I hear has a neat little underground tunnel connecting it to the residences across the street. If these Mormons are secretive enough to have a little tunnel to cross the street (or perhaps they sparkle melt in the sunlight?), what will stop them from making a whole little village that the tunnel just branches off to?
So the lot can’t be for sale, because if anyone buys it and starts building, they’ll end up the little town in a quiet village hiding underneath! With people milling about just below, eating and shopping and chilling! In mall-lets! Where Ponds and Avon can’t get a stall because nobody needs their whitening products anyway! And with X-Rays from the sky, they will look like little ants! Beside the real littler ants! Maybe there are massage tables under there. (Because, I mean, why not?)
Maybe the next time I see a This Lot is Not For Sale sign, I’ll get down from the car, stand by the sign, and stomp the morse code for “I know you’re down there!”
If they’re down there, they’ll know. They’ll know.

Saturdae
If I were a kind of ice cream, I think I’d like to be a Saturdae.
In the morning, I left home to go to White Plains and spend the day at my cousin’s. I did nothing scholarly, but! Today, I:
- downloaded both Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory
- watched both Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory
- received a PvZ cupcake from the mom and titas after their Mercato Centrale trip
(Mr. Piaya says hi!)
.. that I still refuse to eat because it’s too cute and my camera is lobatt so I can’t take a decent picture of it even if my titas tell me to eat it already and they’ll just buy me a new one just eat it already omygod just eat it.
- ate a too-full lunch of fish and chips, steak, and spaghetti, with Golden Spoon cappuccino yogurt, cookies with pink Himalayan Salt (c/o Mercato), and mochi balls with ice cream (again, c/o Mercato) for dessert.
- watched Barney and Bob the Builder with the bebe cousin.
- made him giggle as we clapped along to Mr. Knickerbocker.
- took vain pictures with the bebe cousin.
- had a foot massage, half the time of which I had the aforementioned/pictured bebe cousin on my lap insisting I play “BOB! BOB!” and the other half, asleep.
- had dindin here with baked chicken and crispy pata and all sorts of yummy yummy things.
- And now here I am, fiddling with my gadgets beside the mother and the tita, also fiddling with their gadgets.
- Also, I have pretty hair tonight, I think. :D

Testing: 1, 2, 3!
I am writing from my Mac Journal from my Mac. Later, I will sync this with my iPad so I can blog from my iPad too. I am complicating my life by using all these applications and gadgets ..
But that’s okay. I feel chichi.
(Chichi-er now, too, because at this moment I am getting a foot massage. Mmmmm.)
