jatkuks

Pean veel lisaks juurde mainima et, toidu korvale pakkusin vahevalt 5 erinevat teed- Jasmiini, roosioie, piparmyndi, oolong, ja valge jasmiini tee. KUigi kodus on mul hetkel yle 15 erineva tee variandi, ei suutnud ma maitsmiseks rohkem valmistada. J Lisan veel paal pilti..

To those who have no idea what I am talking about- I hosted a From Europe to Asia party. I filled room with tables and chairs, ( to resemble busy Chinese restaurant) , got food tea, snacks an Hot Pot party was ready to start. We also played few games, had quizzes, etc. It was tons of funJ

From Europe to Asia..

Apologies to my English only language Readers. Today I will give you an update in Estonian. J
Otsustasin et see blogi sissekanne tuleb hoopis Eesti keeles, ja hasti paljude kirjavigadega… mul hakkab lahku kokku kirjutamine meelest ara minema.. Taitsa lopp, peaks sygisest Eesti koolis kaima hakkama, ja oma emakeelt uuesti oppima hakkama..

Aga nyyd asja juurde..Idee tekkis juba vaga ammu,kuid julgusest jai puudu. Kunagi Leila mainis et peaks mingi Aasia yrituse tegema kah. Ja ma muudkui haudusin seda motet ja mida rohkem ma motlesin, seda rohkem see idée mulle meeldis. JNo nii, ettevalmistused yrituseks algasid kuu tagasi- Saatsin kutsed valja… Ja siis tuli paanka hoog, paanikahoo jarel.. MIs ma nyyd edasi teen, mis syya, juua.. Ja siis loi pea kohal lamp sarama … DING… Miks mitte kasutada Sizhuani toitu.. Ainus probleem selle juures oli see, et Mu abikaasa kodulinnas syyakse higisama panevalt vyrtsikat toitu, mis enamuse Eestlaste ohtusoogi repertuaari ei kuulu. Nii jooksingi kohe poodi ja uurisin kohe sealselt 99 ranchi poe rahvalt jargi et mis oleks hea asendus Sichuani vyrtsidele. KOigepealt hakati kova haalega naerma, , kuid kui naeruga pidama saadi oeldi et koik kolbab… Nii ma ostsingi siis koik oma lemmiks kasted ja maitseained et need kuidagi mahedamaks muuta. Arvan et onnestus.

Eile ohtul siis kogunes minu kodukesse 18 eestlannat ( parandage kui vale number). JA koik ilusasti Aasia paraselt ennast yles ehtinud- kes hiina riietuses, jaapani detailidega, kes rohkem Jaapaniparaselt hiina touchinga, ja kes hoopis super mix koikidest aasia kultuuridest . Hasti lahe!!!
Toiduks valmistasin Sichuani Hot Poti- yhesonaga s.t. et ostsid hasti peenikeseks viilutatud lihad, juurviljad, seened, leht rohelised, tofu, idud,, ja mis koik veel ( aitahh, kes snacke ja muud vaja minevat toid ). Ning, koik selle panime lauale, Laua keskel oli mini gaasipliit podiseva maitsestatud veega , ning sinna hakkas rahvas siis vaikselt oma toitu tippima. Nalja kui palju… Hasti huvitav oli jalgida kuidas koik endale kasteid valmistasid – valikuvoimalus oli vahemalt 20 erinevat kasted ja lasin koikidel oma kasted valmis meisterdada et hiljem ei saaks kriitika osaliseks ( tark tegu , onju ).. Samuti koostasin Aasia parase viktoriini, koik pidasid notsu pildi joonistama , kuna on sea aasta, ja iga yks pidi kirjutama fortune cookie onne, ja siis panime koik onned urni, ning hiljem rahvas tombas endale homes onne….
Magustoiduks pakkusin 10 treasure rice dessert, ja erinevaid snacke, jaatiseid. \
Olin jooksus alates kella 8 hommikul, ja magama sain kell 2 oosel… Mulle nii meeldib selline jooksmine, ja toimetamine, ja ettekandmine, ja et keegi mind kamadaks, et ma tahan nyyd seda, ja too mulle seda ja kus see on…ihih….
Aitahh teile koikidele .JA aitahh vaga hea kingi eest Kallis Eesti rahvas J
Aru, kui vasinud ma olin, sain alles hommikul. Kui kell 8 yles arkasin selg kuidagi valutas, ja ploomi veinist oli pohmakas ka veel… Kuid see ei peatanud mind ette ovotmas jargmist reisu……

Pakkisime asjad ja lapsed autosse, ning asusime Big Beari poole teele Kevadet otsima… taitsa big bear lake juurde ei joudnud, kuid kaisime ara San Bernardino national forrest – Laste metsaradadel jalutamas… Nii lahe oli. Gabriel oli taielikult hasardis- Mesilased lendasid ja sumisesid ta kuulatas, sisalikud jooksid mooda, ta viskas kohuli ja uuris. Ta peatus iga teadete tahvli juures ja luges ara mis tema ees seisis ja siis uudistas suurte syytute pruunide silmadega, et kuidas ikka ja mis .. Nii armas… Reginal oli aga igav.. Ta muudkui haigutas ja uuris et millal me siis nyyd koju laheme – Nick , mis Nick. Haha… Tore parastlouna oli.. Peaks ka selle ara mainima et soime oma lounasoogi auto pagasiruumis istudes, ime et auto esiots ohku ei tousnud- Rasvane cheese, mushroom pizza, buffalo wings ja meie kogu kaal 390 lbs oleks pidanud ju sellele kaasa aitama. JJJ

Earth day

Happy earth day… or what’s left of it?? What are you doing to keep this planet going?
I have to be honest here… I am not really good recycler .. If I remember I do it, but it is way to complicated- which plastic is ok, what kind of paper is fine, glass… I was just watching oprah, and I learned that pizza boxes are not recyclable , because something has been in it… ( greasy food, I can see earth gaining few lbs). BUT , I am trying to cut down using paper plates, and cups and napkins. I also use earth friendly cleaning products. Right now seventh generation. I have not switched out all my products yet, but most of them… I started doing this few months ago, because I started having horrible headaches after I cleaned my house.. I also had to give up using strong perfumes, again, because of headaches. I do use once in a while, but not as often I used to… I know that is also earth friendly. BUT I will not trade in my SUV. If president Bush starts driving around in Hybrid Limos ( not sure if they exist), then I will downgrade… lol but until then, I’ll pollute environment … just a little….

J

Today I went to Lowes and brought 60 dollars worth of plants. Flowers energize me.. They dye on my, but they make me feel good.. While doing some planting, I discovered that I have some major leaking going on somewhere under my house… Top soil looks fine , but then I started digging deeper and dirty secret of my gardens bottom soil came out… IT WAS SOAKED, ugly , clay like , yuck… I guess I have to contact somebody- landscaper possible to check out issues… Hate when things go the way I do not want them to go…

AND one more issue.. our plumbing is really messed up.. Seems like pressure issues. I flush, there is dripping going on everywhere. It annoys me, but scares also.. I am afraid one of these days one of main pipes will burst and overfloat our house. . Seriously – what materials were used to build this fuckin’ house??? Floam and some craft store pipes??

Soovitan Soojalt.

The Namesake.
Yesterday YMCA had half nighter and I used this opportunity to unwind. I dropped kids into local Y and headed to movies. My mission- The Namesake. It was about Indian Immigrants and their kids who were born in USA and all the drama that surrounded them

Even though I am not Indian, while watching this movie I could find myself thinking- OMG, this is movie about my life. I moved away from Estonia when I was young, I gave birth in US, I was exited, confused, lost… and now when I am older I want to go back and join my Estonian family…

I recommend this movie to all of you. I cried , I laughed and I drooled over that dude who plaid main part- Gogol (Kal Penn) . He is Yummy !!!! Go see it J

Life is good, Nick is coming home next week JJJ

Dianatansaare

( disclaimer—this is not a scam, just my view how things really are….

Let me introduce myself. My name is Diana TanSaare and I am president of foreign ministry BANK of California. I just want to let you know, if you send me 4000 dollars, I will give you about billion back( NEVER).. And I will give you this money, because president of other bank died and Now I have all this money to share with you . My dear stupid people ( but hey, all you dumbasses, just sent in those 4000 dollar checks.( or every other check amount that is less than 10 000 dollars… I do not want you to pay taxes that much….

Now let me let you know how things will work here. First you send money, then I tell you I want to marry you, then you have to show up at the airport wearing white dress, and then I will now show up…… YOU will feel mad and violated. You think that I am worst person ever…… But then suddenly I call you and tell you this bullshit story about me falling in airport because I was so madly inlove with you and that love made me blind… You forgive me, because that is your nature, to forgive sick people who are inlove. And I have to tell you that YOU have to send me more money,because I am still in hospital and here NIGERIA , they do not let you out before all bills are paid.. boohoo. And you send more, and I brake more bones…… and then we all end up in 20/20 or in dateline…

( You got the pic).. I am sorry to offend you people, BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU MOTHERFUCKERS??? HOW CAN YOU BELIVE SUCH A BULLSHIT SCAM??? I do not feel sorry for any of you , and why should I … ( harsh , huh). How desperate are you people to get rich , to believe some weird emails that sound fishy from FIRST sentence .. If you do not know the recipient, just DELITE IT

Dancing with the Stars… DID YOU SEE HEATHER DANCE. OMG.. Yes, she fell in the end, but over all…WOW. That girl can dance.. I am so proud of her. J

Nothing else much to Report… Oh, I do .. NICK IS COMING HOME NEXT WEEK. WOHOOOO

:(

Bad news about My bellydancing recital on Thursday….
I can’t dance. LLL I did not mention it on http://www.diana78.blogspot.com/ diary, but I fell at the airport and kind of hurt my butt and hip.. I can work out , run, but I can’t move my hips the way I have to, so there you go .: (LLL: I CAN”T DANCE. But I am going to support my dancing buddies anyway. JJJ

Ask Diana..

Leila asked while ago what I think about Chinese medicine… She started reading a book about it ,and now things that she learns about start making sense ( Don’t ask me what she is reading about) ;)…I have no idea. I just give my opinion..

I am ALL for all kinds of MEDICINE, ONLY if you are 100% committed to it and follow through. If you read a book about it, and think that I should starting to take ginseng but same time you will keep living your regular lifestyle- It will not make sense to me. But if you start taking “traditional” medicine, slowly work changing you thinking, replacing or eliminating people in your life who are negative, practice special workout sessions, work with your ying yang… ,… I say YES, YES, YES, you are on right track… BUT you are the one who has to work out system that works for you. Books can say million things, - do this, or that, or sleep on this side and don’t sleep on that… YOU have to know why you can only sleep on that side, and drink that drink … and eat as much as you eat ….
You have to work out your system….
BTW Leila, are you reading about traditional or western Chinese medicine?

I have something to say… I have something to say… I have something to say..
I LOVE television. If I could, I’d watch it 24/7. Well, maybe 12/7, and rest of 12 hours I’d sit in Edwards and watch movies.

Luckily this year we got digital TV and I can record all my favorite shows and later fast forward boring parts… blah blah blah…
Here is list of shows I watch….
Dancing with the stars
Americas Next top Model --- MY FAVE SHOW.
Pussycat Doll search--- Pretty entertaining… seems like most of hose girls have no brains, just lots of raw diva material…
CSI( NY, MIAMI and just CSI.
Crossing Jordan.
American Idol- this year it is pointless, since all those wannabes are just plain boring… Saija boy is pretty interesting and cute …. For a gay… hahahaj
Bachelor- first impression- he got looks but he is so dang boring… he makes me yawn… Why can’t bachelor dudes choose some rich guys with good sense of humor, who can make jokes and girls just laugh because they think joke was funny, but really, joke was on them HAHAHAH
National geographic channel almost everything in there is interesting… Love it.
L word- lesbian thing. I love it, but I do not get what the hype is all about… Everybody is talking about it. I watched it and yes, it is interesting, but since I am open minded and read few lesbian books ( you know, I thought I am one, still in closet,,,, maybe I am… still… in closet ;) )) I find nothing shocking about this show, but I do recommend it to you. It is good show ( couple of actresses should get a boot thought. They suck, I’d do much better job acting…
Deal or now deal… people are money hungry and that makes me laugh….
The view- I LOVE ROSY
Ellen DeGeneres- I LOVE HER TOOOO.. I love her sense of humor
Desperate Housewifes
Grays Anatomy- My fave medical drama… If I had a chance to be part of this show, I’d do it for free ( at least at first… lol)
Law and Order, SVU ( special victims Unit)…
There are few more shows, but I can’t remember their names…. Oh DR 90210, Workout, Real HouseWifes of Orange county-

So there you go.. These are my shows.. I also read http://www.perezhilton.com/ he is my hero. And Prescribe to Peoples Magazine… I waste my talent sitting home. I’d rather sit in somewhere in Hollywood ( like around Ivy restaurant ) lol and write down every single step Lohan Bitch takes….

Anything goes

Ok guys…. Get your busy fingers typing and reply to this blog. The thing is … I need ideas what to write about. YOU ask, I answer . ANYTHING GOES. I am not shy so GIvE me some good topics and be ready for some answers, because I know in most cases you will disagree with me ( I do not like when people agree with me, I just feel like they are trying to kiss my ass….. ;) )

Give me some headlines…..

Dancing with the Stars...

I am watchin Dancing with the starts Right now.
I am clued to screen… BUT only when Heather Mills or Joey ( from NSync) comes on. Heather just inspires me so much. I do not care what was going on between her and Paul, but OMG. That Girl can dance. SHE CAN DANCE WITH ONE LEG ( other is prosthetic, and has almost no movement at all… All I have to say is WOW. Keep up great work Heather.

Memories

I feel like I am in mood for little “Chinese”. Nope, I know it is April Fools day, but I am not trying to make fools out of you..

I want to tell you about my grocery store experience in Chinese Supermarket- you know one of those stores where clothes, food and frogs are all sold in one… Yup..

Well, there I was , standing in line, cart filled with Chinese delicacies, that list NO nutritional information.. Weird, Not sure how Chinese manage to stay so slim without knowing how many calories they really are consuming…. But that is another story…

So there I was, waiting. . It was Sunday evening and store was packed with busy , and loud Asians. IT was hard to breath…. It was hot and supermarket stank… like dead frogs… Yuck yuck…. Before me stood about 5 other people, also sweating and looking around , thinking who the heck farted… Probably that white girl… she looks suspicious…..

Well, there I was standing, uncomfortable, because now everybody probably thought that I farted… and then out of nowhere ran one full of shit asian dude, and cut in front of me. At first I thought that , oh well, it is China, people do weird things here, they think only white girls fart, and now they cut in front of white girl, who’s shopping cart was full of attention, because everybody wanted to see WHAT I EAT TO STAY SO FAT….

Back to that Asian dude. I was furious and I just said out loud – DUMBASS-/ I knew he did not speak English, HE did not look like he could speak English,.. SO I thought that I was safe.. BUT, I was not only person in store who could speak English. There were 2 girls waiting on line, next to us. After I said DUMBASS.. I heard giggling… hihihih hihihih hihihih hihihih dksoishnknkdsh398ry9nklh(Y*^876))(__& ( they were talking to each other, and I guess that long line of nonsense just ment- I CANT BELIVE SHE TOLD HIM HE IS DUMBAss.. )*^(&^NKHJKBKJ B*&TNOIY(OKLU)*NH(JOK).
It weird to look at those girls… They covered their giggling mouths, hoping that I do not understand that talk was about me… DUH… I was only blue eyed person there …

But, I was still furious.. I can’t stand bad manners… AND if that dude had spoken any English , I would have given him speech about manners and birds and bees, and toothbrush and toothpaste, but since he was genuine Chinese, I just decided not to disturb him. I just told him DUMBASS one more time with a smile and bumped my shopping cart into him….. Dumbass…

I have been punished for being bad.

Oh, I feels o gross… Yuck.. Today is third day that I am extremely exhausted.. Yesterday I spend 2 hours in ER because I was unable to breathe, I got some kind of shot that opened up my airways again.. Today I thought I feel great until about 10 AM. My tonsils are swollen and hurting, but that does not stop me eating. – Whipped cream, ice cream, sugar frosting, chocolate syrup, vanilla milk, candy chocolate- IT ALL GOES DOWN very well, but now I am feeling extremely tired because of all the extra sugar in my system… BTW. ER “’ person” suggested that I may have developed some allergies to sweeteners, so now I have to cut out all the “ bad” stuff “ that I love. AND I LOVE EQUAL AND SPLENDA. NOTHING REPLACES THE THAT FLAVOR. I hate stevia and other :really natural sweetener, so I think I am eating because I am stressed because I had to say by by to my sweet lovers for 6 years.



Now something ridiculos. One of my neighbors is old Asian lady, who forgets things… She asks me every time how Reginas Chemo is going and I TELL HER at least once a week- Lady, last time she had chemo was in 2004 december… SO why do you keep asking---- She tells, me OH, OK, I forgot, but now I REMEMBER it ( she speaks really fast, with thick Chinese accents- during 5 minute conversation, she can tell you her whole life story.. NOW, the same old lady Uses my expensive trash cans. We have 3 large regular cans, one recycling can, and one for green waste… Now, she has one tiny black, one tiny brown, and one tiny green. I PAY 80 dollars per months for trash pick up, not sure how much she pays, BUT she USES MY “designer” trash cans EVERY FUCKING WEEK. AND she never asks- oh, I FORGOT , she rings my doorbell, after each time she has loaded up my trashcans and tells me- here I boot ju sum good keik. Its from vooons, I am dajabetik, I cant eat sweet bread, but you can , thank you veri mush for letting me use jur trashcans, ju good people. Now, eat that fuckin’ crappy vons cake….

AND she does it every week. I have told her many many times, LADY, I DO NOT WANT YOUR crappy cakes. Give me liposuction, and you can use my trash cans as often you wish. Do I LOOK LIKE I WANT YOUR FUCKING CAKES????


( OMG, what the heck is wrong with me, she is old and sweet, and all I do is bitch about her.. .sorry my freeloading neighbor.)

Premonition.....

HMH. Today I went to see really expensive movie. REALLY, REALLY expensive. Total price for it was 50 dollar ( JUST ME). You think I must be crazy, and probably are saying things like – YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THAT money to me, or join Weight watchers instead- blah blah blah. BUT, Instead you spend watching crap like that. And I must tell it was crap, but just a tiny bit crap…. Sandra bullock was good, IDEA for a movie was excellent, and very well played, and I liked idea that all unexplainable things do not have to be explained , things just happen sometimes…. But crappidy crap… why is it always us, woman who screw up big time…. Huh?? Go see Sandras new movie - Premonition- You’ll find out why I am saying things I am… BUT oh yeah, at first I almost fell asleep, because beginning of movie was very “ calming” lol.

And now that expensive part- hourly after school daycare pay – 14 dollars per hour… and in the end I ended paying 7.25 per ticket and 42 dollars for babysitting center…. Sucks…..

See you there

This is not funny...

…but I almost hit an leprechaun today. Little green , Mexican dude… I am not rude here you guys, but after leaving Estonian house, I had to make that famous right turn , and traffic was bitch. And there I was trying to make right turn and SUDDENLY, out of nowhere jumped out little green fat dude and started waving his hands. OF course, “zebra” was not seeable from where I was, and I did not see any people crossing. But I must be getting old, or I just do not see little people. .. Anyway, I hit my brakes as fast as possible , and stopped before I hit my little green Mexican, but oh damn, that Mexican was angry Mexican, he started waving his hands, showing me middle finger and pointing his eyes like letting me know, hei you bitch, where are your eyes. He was really angry looking and I looked at other cars, and everybody else was laughing their asses off. So there I was holding my laughter back, because I was scared that that green guy would pull green gun out of his pants and start shooting…. But yeah, after he crossed I started laughing too, because he was just fuckin’ funny… who thought that day after St Patrick’s day I would see green dudes running wild….

Congratulate me.... ;)

(Karm esinaine Mall koos oma "teemiga)

Ja korraga sai Anti-Eestlasest Eesti Seltis Juhatuse Liige. Nimelt , tehti Dianale ( minule siis. toim) ettepanek yhineda vanade heade Eestlaste ja Eestlannadega, et hakata ajama “Eesti Asja”. Hetkel on Diana vaheke segaduses ja hoiab kahe kaega peast kinni, kuna pea ei taha raputamist lopetada ( kaks pohjust- Liigne kohvijoomine, voi siis lihtsalt sellest et ta ei saa aru miks ta sellise sammu ette vottis). Aga asja mulle meeldib ajada. Ja nyyd on mul pohjust ka seda teha….
Eestlased- Yhinege LA Eesti Seltsiga ..

mees, marss magama....

My prince has arrived and he is snoring his nose off right now. I started my trip to LAX around 3 pm. Traffic was a real bitch. Just horrible. SUCKED. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to complete 53 miles. But we made it. AND then flight was 15 minutes late+ customs…. Instead of 5.15 we left 6.15. And made it home before 8 PM. Now my poor dude is sleeping and tired and is just sleeping. GOOD FOR HIM. Tomorrow he will take kids to chucke cheese and mall, and wahoos. Not sure what we will do for dinner,but I am hoping something good, because he is leaving Sunday early morning, ( yup, he is here only for a day) – Nianxiong Tan is dedicated to his work…. He better make enough money , so I can visit Estonia whenever I feel like it and not worry about going over BUDGET line.... OR budget line would be around 10 000 dollars per month. Hahahah…. I am not asking to much.. this time I blame it on Orange County. People around here live large and enjoy life…. I want to be one of them…( but do not expect me to gain chest size or 2)

Mida, mida???

Don’t act like you know me, You don’t know me , ( doing my little head thing from side to side). Just kidding you homies…

I think my husband lost his mind. He decided that it is OK to have a meeting in Virginia. So weird. SO now he is coming home tomorrow ( yes I am going to pick him up from LAX, and myself, I stand under ENCOUTNER restaurant because I just want that thing to fall on me right there and then, so I can earn my WINGS… ( NO I AM NOT SUICIDAL). I just want my wings…. So he comes home for a day, and then runs as fast as possible to Virginia, because for GODS sake. ONE DAY with family is just WAY to much- AND I completely agree. So after that week he comes home for a day again and then we will celebrate his forty something birthday early this year….

ATTENTION--- ALL OF YOU WHO ARE USING PICTURES TAKEN BY ME , AND DISPLAY THEN ON YOUR WEBSITES ( HINT, HINT), PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE THEM, BUT GIVE ME SOME KIND OF CREDIT. Right now I am working creating my logo to display on my pics , but until then, be nice to me…..
