meatballs and sticky cake

i was thinking about josephin's cousin today. anna came last august and i didnt realise that her trip here is coming to an end. time really flies. josephin has been taking care of anna like a mother hen tending to her chicks( in this case chick, excuse the pun ). she feeds anna, takes her shopping and sight seeing, whatever she could to make anna's trip here worthwhile and memorable. im sure anna had a good time and i hope i havent scared her too much.

before's anna's arrival, jo has been pretty down with our friend marisa's personality change. well, both of us were but i dont see marisa as much as jo does. in a way i must thank marisa for introducing jo to me. when marisa stopped being the 'marisa', the only person i could depend on was jo and i still do. i really can relate to her, i didnt realise till then how much we had in common. i was grateful for her kindness and her willingness to let me crash her place when i needed to get out of the hell hole im currently living in.

but thats not the only thing great about her. she can cook. really well. damn if i were a guy i would kiss her everytime she made something to eat!!..( since i am not one i shall spare us both of that potentially traumatic experience ). i love her desserts [ excessive salivation ongoing ] and her meatballs..superb!!

you see..i cant cook. usually i eat out or one of those instant stuff. or my staple of bread and generous amounts of nutella. at home my sister or brother does the cooking for me. i'm often on the cleaning up duty which i gratefully accept. sometimes i have 'cutting the ingredients' duty but that usually does not work out too well. this is because i am not to be trusted with sharp objects and i often get blood all over the food. lets face it, i suck big time.

josephin cannot understand this. to her credit she simply cannot accept that some people ( ie me ) are useless in the kitchen. sometimes i ask her to teach how to make something, and the same words come pouring out, "its very easy, even my little brother can do it". if i am not mistaken her brother is 8 years old. totally embarrasing. also very, very funny to see her look of depair on her face. classic..

one more thing, she got me hooked on roswell, the tv series. i mean COME ON!!..its about aliens and i'm not a science fiction kinda gal. josephin absolutely loves the series and doesnt mind watching her dvds over and over again. there was a point when we'll just hog her tv for hours going through the episodes. i'm not a hopeless romantic like she is, and there's tonnes and tonnes of lovey dovey stuff going on with the characters. geezzz...this is something my sister would watch, not me!

but i must say, the sheriff and his son kyle are pretty hot..

anyhoo, anna is leaving on tuesday. i have to admit that i will miss her. she's such a sweet girl and i hope her experience here was fulfiiling and fun. i do worry about josephin though. anna provided her an excuse to be distracted for awhile but now what?..i dont want to see the angry, disappointed side of josephin that surfaced earlier this year. we provided each other company initailly but i didnt go over as much when anna came. i fear that she might be a little lost and a little miserable. i cannot replace anna's company and i think she wouldnt want that from anyone.

i dunno..we'll have to see i guess. time to make my instant pasta.

hasta la vista, baybeh!!
