My Newly Acquired Baby...

It's 3rd week of Paul returning back to school and I am enjoying every single moment of it. He had recently decided to pursue his BA in Business Management and to me it's splendid ! I am a firm believer in the theory, it's never too late to learn and it's always good to have a diploma or degree under your belt. Since Paul is so enthusiastic about earning his degree, I am ready to be his support pillar and cheerleader to support him along the way.

So what is the benefit of him going back to school ? Well to begin with, since the start of his school, his homework have been piling constantly ontop of him, the endless reading that occupying his every waking minute and the weekly assignment that faithfully arrive week after week and his 1500 words thesis that he is cracking his head to compose. And how can we forget about his current R & R (Reading and Research). So he is one busy bumble bee now, trying to multi task everything at the same time. I enjoy watching him working hard for his degree and finally I have a fellow reader at home. Normally he is the one witnessing me holding my novel up my face and reading it. Now he is also a fellow bookworm but the difference is, his is pressure and mine is leisure.

Like a twist of fate, instead of parking his butt infront of the TV, it had changed to the laptop reading articles and assignment related to school. Whereas I am happily holding the TV remote and sitting infront of the TV watching whatever my heart desire. Yes, I have officially gained 100% custody of the Remote and the TV. In the past, both Paul and myself have share custody and there are some channels which is a complete "no-way" zone such as Home & Garden or Cooking channels or even some insane reality shows. But now gosh, it's like F-R-E-E-D-O-M !!!

Just last night, I was infront of the TV having a Home & Garden makeover marathon (checkout their website www.hgtv.com, and you'll have a clearer idea of what I'm addicted to). It's refreshing and educational for me as I am a fuss-free person, I pride myself with my ability to adapt to the situation and live with whatever I have. So watching shows of home makeover presented to me was like being transported into a whole new world and concept altogether. Next switch is the Food Network channel (www.foodnetwork.com). Oh Boy, it's like 20hrs of non stop cooking show one after another and all those yummy food that's mind blowing !!! I have to admit that watching beats cooking it but instantly I was transported to heaven.

To my extreme excitement, I came across the Boxing reality show THE CONTENDER on ESPN. I was so excited and so closed to screaming with joy, it was beyond believe. I've always love that boxing show and I am like a sucker for that show. I remembered when it was first aired on TV which happened to coincide with my trip to Bangkok, Thailand with Tricia and Cecilia. (Definately one of the best trips I had in my life). During our trip, one of my shopping resolution is to buy a pair of boxing shorts like those professional boxers wore in their game. Luckily for me, I came home with not one but 2 pairs of boxer's shorts. Since then, each time THE CONTENDER was aired on TV, I make sure that I am wearing my boxing shorts as well. Naturally my Mom thought that I am insane for rooting those boxers by wearing similiar shorts and my love for such a violent sports. Check out my purchase of the boxing shorts from Thailand.

Regardless, now that the remote is 100% under my full custody, even the commerical seems entertaining hahahah. The downpart is, I am like constantly running to and fro the TV to Paul's laptop like a crazy woman. Why ? Cause one of the undying support for his degree is that I would be helping him with his school work, vetting through his thesis, setting up his slide presentation and also assisting with his report...
