Just got my Ancestry.com results other day…… didn’t surprise me, though.

I am :

Philippines ———————— 60% ( Malay – Indonesian race )

Spain ———————– 15 %

Sardinia ———————– 15 %

Italy ———————- 10 %

I wasn’t surprised…… however, Sardinia ? ? ? Isn’t Sardinia in Italy ?

Anyway,

We know exactly where in Spain my great, great grandparents came from… Sta. Maria de la Nueva, Segovia, Spain. My grandma even went to Spain to attend a reunion given by her Spanish relatives years ago. My grandma taught Spanish at a university in the Philipines. So, yeah, Spanish ancestry is a given.

But, again, Sardinia ??? It’s very specific, isn’t ?

* ponders *

My sister’s hubby is Italian-American. My cousin’s hubby is Italian -American. And , a friend ( who likes me , * cough, cough * ) is Italian/Polish( ? ) -American ( although his last name is Polish, like Lywyck…. Ha ha…. ) I wonder why his mom , who came from Italy , is thankful her beloved son doesn’t have an Italian last name. She says it’s too ethnic. .. her exact words. Eh ? Really ? How about me ? A friend once told me my name sounds like a female villain’s name from a Mexican telenovela, like, Maria Esperanza Madriaga. lol.. Too ethnic, eh ? * shakes head * ” Madame Lywyck, your last name is all consonants, he he. * Trouble, trouble, double trouble. * dashes off *

Anyway,

I still consider my race as ” pure Filipino “, pure Asian, and American , of course. * raises American flag *, PTBA .

[ ………. ]

Hmmmm, Sardinia…..

Wait, why am I so focused on Sardinia ? lol

Well, whatever…. this has taken freakin’ Corona Virus off my mind. And to think this fudging virus is not even a living thing. It’s just a protein covered with fat. So, yeah, wash your hands with foamy ordinary soap /detergent and hot water. And , disinfect with liquid containing 65% or over alcohol content. And Listerine your mouth ! Mouthwashes contain over 65% alcohol.

Oh, no ! ! I need more alcohol ! !

HOME DISTURBANCE ! !

I posted about this HERE.

It happened again last night…. actually this morning around 12 AM to 2 AM.

To summarize what happened in July, 2017….. I broke up with my boyfriend, then he demanded that I return ” his ” dog , or else, he’d sue me…..and he came over at 3 AM but he didn’t create a disturbance when we didn’t open the door.

But today, it was different. So, okay, he said he wouldn’t get ” his ” dog back anymore. But then, 4 months ago, he started texting and calling me about us getting back together….. I’ve been saying NO very politely but he didn’t stop…………… but last night on my drive home, he called again. I was driving , and very tired, darn it, so I yelled on the phone STOP CALLING ME AND GO AWAY ! ! I mean, his texts and calls have already become a form of stalking and harassment ! When I got home, ( about 10 PM ) he texted and threatened he’d come over to get ” his ” dog back . So, we turned off all the lights , then , around 12 , the doorbell started ringing without let-up, and at the same time, texting me ( I received 25 texts ) , and said he had called the police. ( I actually got a voicemail from the police ) . We also heard him say , in a rather loud voice , ” I know you’re in there, Ren. Don’t make it hard on you and your family. I JUST WANT MY DOG BACK ! ”

Meanwhile, we forgot my cousin would come home at 1 AM ( from her part time job delivering Domino’s Pizza, ^__^ ” ) . Then we heard her enter the house, heard voices, and we were like, OMG, did she let him in ???? She was like, ” are you kidding ? ” She then called her BF, and on the phone, she said , ” There’s a 6 ft. tall angry dude at our doorstep, can you come over, please and don’t come in, just park the car outside and stay in the car, call me, and let us know what he’s doing. ” Believe it or not, it was already 2: 15 AM when he finally left. The BF came , parked, and kept the headlights on…… just to let the ex know there’s a witness, just in case.

Where was Dad while this was happening ? Dad is a heavy sleeper… so yeah, he was happily snoring in La la land, thank goodness. Otherwise, there’d be a huge commotion between him and this guy. Yikes.

Guys, a question…… should I be worried ? I don’t think he owns a gun.

So, this is it…. Thanks for reading and peace ! (~.~)

Thanksgiving Day 2016/Mystery Blogger Award

Posted by renxkyoko in Mystery Blogger Award, Thanksgiving Day 2016, Random thoughts. Tagged: Mystery Blogger Award, Thanksgiving 2016. 55 comments

Hello , Renxkyoko Iglesias here .

I’ve been nominated twice for Mystery Blogger Award by livepulchritudinously and Nayan Nair . However, I couldn’t find Nayan Nair’s link to that award, so Nayan Nair, please send me that link again.

Anyway, here are my answers to livepul……. questions.

a) What was the last movie you saw ? I’ve been watching tons of movies on Netflix and Hulu. I am watching Body of Proof, a crime series, right at this moment.

b) What is your favorite thing about winter ? I get to wear my cool boots and winter jackets…. and most importantly, Christmas.

c) Do you have any pets ? We have 2 dogs , one of which is my own, a pitbull. No one wanted to adopt a puppy pitbull at the animal shelter, so I did. Her name’s Taylor, and I really love her.

d) What was the last book you read ? Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

e) Are you allergic to anything ? Oh, sweet mother of pink, it’s weird that I get asked about allergies. I just had an allergy attack at work last Friday, right after Thanksgiving Day. I got worried they might fire me . Good thing I tested negative on milk ( O_O ! ) , more specifically on almond and soy milk. I work at a dairy company, for Pete’s sakes. Well, it is still a mystery what triggers it. Last time, I suspected it was the red food color of chorizo.

This is it. Again, thank you for the award, @pulchritudineously.

Now, as per Ren’s tradition…… I post pictures of our Thanksgiving feast every year. This year, however, there is really nothing much to show. The family did not really feel like celebrating, because of * cough * election issues * cough * . But, I did not renege on my promise to do some cooking. I made all the desserts…. heck, I even baked the chocolate cake, angel food cake, and fruit cake from scratch. No store – bought cakes this year. And of course, I cooked my specialty, paella.

Six main dishes……. paella, beef mechado, lechon kawali ( boiled , then fried pork ribs with liver sauce ) , lumpia ( wrapped meat ), ham ( instead of turkey ), and honey roast chicken. Desserts are biko ( rice cake ) , fruit salad , chicken-macaroni salad, leche flan ( egg custard made of egg yolks ) angel food cake ( I used the egg whites …. leche flan and angel food cake always go together ), fruit cake ( from my gandmother’s recipe ), chocolate cake.
