In case you’re wondering about how the Picture the Cure Again show I was talking about last week went, it went fine. I got one picture sold on the opening night, which was cool. We got six friends showing up and some of them bought pictures. Even we bought a picture (for when we have…… Continue reading Stale Weekend Wrap-up

Do you like my latest indoor garden art installation? 🙂 It’s called “Jesus and His 5 Prickly Apostles”. I had three choices for the centre piece: Buddha, Jesus, and Yeti. Buddha is a bit too short to stand out and Yeti is a bit too tall. Jesus is just the right size. I’m rather proud…… Continue reading Sacriligeous!

Hello, my name is Firda and I’m a plant addict. Right now I have this craving to go to a nursery and buy a boatload of plants and seeds. Last night I gave in to the temptation and bought myself some seeds off eBay, from a nursery in Newfoundland no less. And today I spent…… Continue reading Let’s Talk About My Addiction

I donated three prints to be auctioned off at the Picture the Cure event last year to benefit Canadian Cancer Society. They didn’t get sold, but they’ll be up for sale again between Saturday, March 29 and April 4 in the Picture the Cure Again retrospective show at *Hotshot Gallery in Kensington Market, Toronto, along…… Continue reading Picture the Cure Again

Early in December, we went to a family gathering type thing and I saw a wall spread showing a happy-looking Santa Claus in a forest surrounded by animals such as deers, a fox, some birds, some bunnies and a grizzly bear. The first thing that crossed my mind upon seeing it was which one of…… Continue reading Naughty or Nice?

This might be only of interest to new visitors coming from the Bloggie site, but for all its worth, take the rather outdated What’s Your Chance to Win a Bloggie? quiz (ca. 2004) or better still, get a blog award from the badly-styled Award-O-Matic (ca. 2003) if you’re really, really bored, and then blog about…… Continue reading Bloggie Silliness

I probably should’ve wished you a happy new year with yesterday’s post but the day was kind of blah (as in grey and snowy) yesterday it just didn’t feel appropriate. Today, however, is sunny and the sky is blue. The kind of day you’d wish other people good things and really mean it, so happy…… Continue reading Happy New Year!

And I’ve got some hits from the 2008 Bloggies Awards already. Apparently the wee blog has been placed in the Hall of Fame for winning the Best Asian Weblog category three times and is not eligible for nominations in that category anymore. Not that I’ve been anywhere near Asia in the last three years so…… Continue reading It’s 2008!

Since the last time I posted, I have: given in to the temptation and bought a Hasselblad 500C/M camera outfit a.k.a. the Hasselblad 500 Classic off eBay. bought various accessories for the said Hasselblad even though I hadn’t had the camera in hand. ventured the foreign world of video-gaming in order to give Troy a…… Continue reading Days Gone By

Since the last time I posted, I have: got a new scanner (Epson Perfection 4490); finally received my Diana+ camera (never received the pick-up notice because it was delivered to someone else’s house but we went to the post office and I showed my ID and they gave me my package); shot one roll of…… Continue reading Busy Bee?
