Well, I’ve been back from the trip since Friday night but then I had to start getting all stressed out about the medical check-up I had to go through on Tuesday for immigration purposes (which went well, by the way) and then I’ve been busy putting together my application for Canadian permanent residency, which is…… Continue reading Home Sweet Home

Greetings from Alberta!
It’s Day 5 of the trip and it’s been tiring but fun. Right now we’re staying in Canmore (half an hour south of the town of Banff), which is our home base while we’re exploring Banff. So far, I’m not too impressed with what I’ve seen of Banff National Park. It seems to be pretty…… Continue reading Greetings from Alberta!
Oopsie!
While playing around with the stylesheet, I accidentally deleted part of the stylesheet. I couldn’t revert back to the unmodified stylesheet and I have no backup so please excuse the mess. I don’t know whether I’m going to fix the design or just dump it and either create a new design or use a pre-made…… Continue reading Oopsie!
Cookie and Photography
Why didn’t you ever tell me that the comment form wouldn’t save your information? Oh wait. You never did comment so you had no way to know! I got it. Sigh. I guess that’s what you get for being a blog lurker. Lurkers beget lurkers. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that the comment…… Continue reading Cookie and Photography
Long Walks on the Beach: Overrated?
I don’t find the idea of long walks on the beach very appealing, yet a lot of people put it in their personal ads, thinking that prospective matches will see it as a positive point, perhaps because it implies romance or something. I wonder if it really works. You see, this past Sunday Troy and…… Continue reading Long Walks on the Beach: Overrated?
Ebony and Ivory
Yesterday I went to the dollar store for the second time after supper, but this time with Troy in tow. When we were lining up to pay for the stuff we picked up, this scrawny kid (probably 7 or 8 years old) with seemingly over-sized eyes in front of us started making faces at Troy…… Continue reading Ebony and Ivory
Upgraded and Uninspired
I thought upgrading my version of Movable Type to version 4 would inspire me to post more, but not really. Well, I was thinking of writing a post about how frustrating the upgrading process was yesterday, but that would be old news. Upgrading Movable Type has always been a pain in the butt ever since…… Continue reading Upgraded and Uninspired
Travelling is Expensive
So somebody dropped by yesterday and handed me a cheque with a nice number on it for a web design work. It was the cheque I was going to spend on a new lens for my DSLR and a plane ticket to the West Coast and back. It was kind of nice holding the cheque…… Continue reading Travelling is Expensive
Vancouver Island and Canadian Rockies: Any Tips?
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it here before but we have decided to re-schedule our Newfoundland trip for next year and hit the West Coast instead for two weeks in September. Yippee! I think our main destinations would be the Vancouver Island in British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, so I’m going…… Continue reading Vancouver Island and Canadian Rockies: Any Tips?
Because I Like Photography
Uh, I guess I missed posting an entry on this here wee blog last week. Sometimes I wish I had a lot to complain about. You know how popular whiny and complainy blogs seem to be these days. I have to admit that I quite enjoy reading such blogs, though only when I’m in a…… Continue reading Because I Like Photography
