My Life Is Such A Freaking Bamboo


Moving so many stuff, furniture, appliances, upholstery, chinaware and all what is important for good living you wont believe how long it took us to settle in our new found home.Almost eight days of gruesome back breaking hard work, yeah call it hard work carrying and lifting, loading and unloading of heavy boxes and you wont believe how we managed to do it. My husband Lorne and I are compared to bamboos for our endurance, strength, and flexibility to obstacles.

I was carrying big box full of stuff when I fell down on the staircase. I hit my spine on the lower part of the stairs. It was painful but I managed to get up and pretend that nothing really happened. I have to get out from that house and moved out. It's a miracle that I was able to get up and walked. Same thing that when I was run over by a car and still managed to walk. Although just for few minutes then I fell down on the pavement because my leg was so sore and numbed. Numb because there is no feeling whatsoever. I was limping up to the hospital and the medical practitioner found nothing from the x-ray result. WTH is that? That I don't know maybe sort of paranormal happening or maybe I was delusional but having those people as witnesses of a miracle that is something to think about. Or call me crazy. Maybe I was an alien. lol

 Anyway, here's another bamboo collection. It is a set of "Bamboo leaf Corelle collection of coffee mugs, plates and saucers. Nice beautiful square piece stylish design. Instead of the traditional rounds we have the square ones. This set is a birthday gift for my husband Lorne. He loves the square because it's unique and extra ordinary not boring.

I kind of think that it's all about SQUARES now.

After all my name is such a SQUARED.


 What else is bamboo here? Oh. my teen is into Bamboo collection for his gadgets, tools he needs for his painting. His artsy endeavour is surely a lot of help. It keeps his creative mind going to the ideals of creativity and asethetic beauty. Skills for life.

The above photo shows the bamboo, a japanese bamboo given by my daughter's teacher from school.


 Here I am sampling the macaroni chicken and beef sopas with lots of spices using the bamboo leaf collection square bowl and plate. We must square everything today or now or never.


My creativity (self-portrait painting of myself) and wholesomeness image > pacute! in my olden days age 28 sitting on a sturdy rock beside a brook and the background is a cascading water. Tossed a coin and made a wish.  On the left side of the background are young bamboo trees and probably since many years have passed those trees are already up so tall and lively and old but strength and durability that they can withstand the test of time.

Okay, not to remind you of the "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" wherein the bamboo trees captured so many exotic and vibrant cinematography in that one of the greatest movie ever told.

Bamboo, bamboo, bamboos!
