- Susie
Susie is a friend of mine from school. She's got the hots for Daryl. She thinks he's the best-looking spunk in the school. Sure he looks nice but frankly, I'd rather go out with Daddy because we have a great time, and he speaks to me as though I've got a brain. Most boys our age are, well, immature.
- Sweetheart!
Daddy picked me up from school again today! When I asked him why, he said he just wanted to see his sweetheart! Wo! "Sweetheart! Sweetheart! He called me his sweetheart!" I think I've got the nicest Daddy in the world!
- Turtle Jelly
Just a short distance up the road, a new Chinese grocery shop has just opened. And they've got Guiling gao! Wow! I love that stuff!It's a rare herbal jelly which is made from turtle shell extract. It was originally formulated in the mid-1800s for the exclusive use of the Qing Dynasty emperor and his royal family. It's got about twenty or thirty different herbs in it, as well.
According to Chinese medicine, guiling gao helps get rid of toxic wastes, nourishes the vital essences of the body, dissipates fluid by removing edema, nourishes your vital essence, and cures blemishes of the skin.
It is also believed to prevent the development of cancer. I eat mine with honey - it sure seems to give me energy and glowing health!
Dr Cheung Hon-yeung, Associate Professor of the University of Hong Kong, did a research report called "Scientific Study of the Herbal Components in Guiling Gao (Turtle Jelly)".
The research was funded by the Tong Zhi Tang Group. I'd be very interested in reading what the results of the study showed, but unfortunately I can't seem to find what the results were, anywhere on the Net.
- Dinner
Tonight I cooked a nice potato bake, with cheese and onions and bacon sprinkled over the top. I'm getting good at cooking, I think. Daddy thinks so too. I love cooking for Daddy, he's so appreciative!
- After-dinner Kisses
After I finished the washing-up, I put on some more lipstick on my lips and gave Daddy lots of kisses. So he got my lipstick all over his lips! Ha ha ha! To save him any further embarassment, I wiped it off him again, though!
