earthquake craziness!

Penne Rosa trio

Parmesan-crusted Chicken Penne Rosa with Chicken Noodle soup

After J visited San Francisco, C & I wanted to catch up with her and hear all about the trip, so we planned a lunchtime gathering at Noodles & Company. I ordered a Trio: Penne Rosa with parmesan-crusted chicken and a chicken noodle soup as the side.

While happily chatting away, we felt our booth shake. We all turned around thinking someone was shaking it. Of course, we saw nobody behind our booth and that’s when we realized that the whole restaurant was shaking. One of the customers immediately ran out of the door. Having lived in the Philippines as a young child, I remembered all the earthquake drills we had in grade school. I was ready to go under the restaurant table for safety. Fortunately, the tremors quickly subsided. Thank goodness there were no injuries.

My inner thighs were hurting and very sore. Continue reading →

Pottermore

Pottermore Account Validation

As someone who devoured the books, it’s only normal that I got excited when J.K. Rowling announced Pottermore, a “unique online Harry Potter experience” enabling millions of fans to interact with her books online. And, with the revelation that she’ll be sharing many more backstories and information about the world of Harry Potter, I promptly signed up to receive an email in October when the site was open to all! Like many fans, I didn’t want this magical world to end. This was my childhood. I grew up with these characters. And, in a weird way, they were my friends. Continue reading →
