Last weekend my brother called me from Indonesia and he sounded really worried. He asked me repeatedly if I was all right (as if once was not enough) before he hung up, which kind of annoyed me because it was early in the morning and I was still half asleep.

The lack of sleep I had on Friday took its toll on me over the weekend. I was feeling sleepy and tired all the time. But we had a busy weekend nonetheless. We went to the Elora Book Sale on Saturday and Sunday mornings (because once is not enough for the book-loving Troy), went to…… Continue reading Busy Weekend

I am so sleepy. See, Troy had to leave for Michigan at 4 in the morning. He tried not to wake me up as he was getting ready to leave, but I woke up anyway. I couldn’t sleep since.

But then again, I don’t really like Spring in general so the problem is not really in the place. It’s…… Continue reading Toronto in Spring

(The Pop Shoppe!, originally uploaded by firda.) So we went to a Hasty Market to get The Pop Shoppe last night. Of course we took the long way, making stops at the bank, Future Shop, Office Depot, and Zellers. We picked up three rolls of film for my pinhole camera at Zellers for $8, which…… Continue reading The Pop Shoppe!

Oh wow, for a weekend with crappy weather, I have so much to tell you. See, on Saturday, after waking up, having breakfast, and playing a few rounds of Guess-the-Google, Troy and I went to a thrift store and I got myself a compact 35mm film camera for $1.50 to be hacked into a pinhole…… Continue reading A Thrifty Weekend

(Snow in April, originally uploaded by firda.) I hate Canadian weather sometimes. See, I have nothing against rain and snow. It may rain or snow at any time of the year. But please, not on a weekend! The picture above is not from winter. It’s from today. Stupid snow.
