Sadly, it was for last night.T_T  I wrote down a lot of details in the contest and didn't know I would only be informed via mail.  I feel so stupid to even waste a slot from the other contestants.  I'm sure any of them could have been more worthy than me. 


Based on this I learned several lessons:

1. Checking email on a daily basis is not enough, should be at least twice a day.
2. Keep track of contests joined to know when the winners will be announced and expect though may feel like waiting for a rain in the middle of a drought
3. Join more because I could really win! lol;p

Movie Review: The Switch Movie

Just watched the movie "The Switch" starred by Jennifer Aniston as Kassie Larson and Jason Bateman as Wally Mars.  It is a romantic comedy drama film.  It seems more on the drama side.

Its about a Kassie who is approaching middle age who decides to get a child through artificial insemination.  She and Wally Mars are best friends.  They separate and then seven years after she returns with the kid named Sebastian.  That's when things got complicated with Kassie, Wally and the donor.  The plot was kind of weird and unrealistic to me although it was pretty good to watch.

While watching this movie, it reminded me of another film which also involved a single woman getting artificial dissemination called "The Back Up Plan".  With two movies like this, it got me thinking.  Is it really possible that some women give up on finding the right one and prefer to raise kids on their own?  I guess, times have change.  Gone are the days where being a single mother was taboo and wives have to tolerate their husbands just for the welfare of their kids and because of their public outlook.  Women have become more confident and independent.

As I watched this, it made me dreamy of having a guy best friend like the two main casts.  I agree with Kassie in the movie that it is essential that guys have a sense of humor and that is also why I prefer to have guy best friends.  From childhood, I've had several close guy friends before.  (Really miss those good days!) But it never worked out.  I'm amazed at how long there were able to make it work.  What do you guys think?

Sophia's Ice Cream Peanut Milk Ice Cream Bar

Due the heat of the summer, we had to fill our freezer with so many frozen treats.  One of them is Sophie's Peanut Milk Ice Cream Bar.  It sounded unique and interesting so we bought it from a small taiwanese grocery store.

When I took my first bite of the crunchy peanut milk shell, I instantly recalled the taste of peanut butter.  But peanut milk is as thick and heavy as peanut butter.  It was lighter and creamier.  It also had peanut chunks in it.  It was good. 

Inside the peanut milk shell is the vanilla filling.  The vanilla wasn't sweet.  It wasn't bland either.  It was just right.  Although it was not the best vanilla ice cream I've tried either.
