I’m miserable when I’m sick. I really am. I’ve been sick since Sunday. It’s just a cold but my body doesn’t take cold virus too lightly. It just has to make me feel like dying. The worst part of it is I’ll more than likely be stuck with the damn virus for at least two…… Continue reading Misery Loves Company

Today (February 3) is the last day for you to vote for your favourite weblogs in the Fifth Annual Weblog Awards a.k.a. The Bloggies™. Voting will close tonight at 10:00 PM EST. I would say vote for me, but I know that in your hearts of heart you already want to. 😉 Sadly, there’s still…… Continue reading Just a Reminder

So the boy and I have decided to go all crafty. We’re planning to participate in this month’s A Month of Softies. I bought a bunch of crafty stuff from the dollar store yesterday and later, after the boy came back from work, we went to Michaels — an arts and crafts store a.k.a. the…… Continue reading Get Crafty

(Kitchen for Chicken?, originally uploaded by firda.) And why Comic Sans? Because they can? Anyway, that thing in the picture is from a KFC in Simcoe. We had to wait for 25 minutes to get our order that Sunday night (Sunday night is probably KFC night for the people of Simcoe) so we decided to…… Continue reading Kitchen for Chicken?

We went to the small town of Port Dover on the north shore of Lake Erie on Sunday afternoon because I wanted to see the beach in winter (after seeing the Jim Carrey and Kate Winslett characters in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” going to a beach in winter). We didn’t expect to find…… Continue reading Port Dover in Winter

If anyone tried to post a comment or email me in the last 12 hours or so and failed, that was because I ran out of space on my hosting account. See, I shared a 200MB hosting account with the boy. He got 125MB and I got 75MB (surprisingly, he has all that much more…… Continue reading Out of Space

We just got back from seeing Un long dimanche de fiançailles a.k.a. A Very Long Engagement. Watching the movie, you just can’t help comparing it with Amélie since it’s from the same director and it also has Audrey Tautou and some other actors from Amélie in it. The humours in both movies are quite similar,…… Continue reading A Movie Review? Nah!

(Fortune Cookies, originally uploaded by firda.) We bought a jar of fortune cookies the last time we did our grocery shopping, just for the fun of it. I just had one today and the cookie contained two fortunes instead of one. I’ve been told that you’re supposed to add the phrase “in bed” to your…… Continue reading 2-in-1 Fortune

The Bloggies™ site is back up now and turns out that I’ve not only been nominated for the Best Asian Weblog but also for Lifetime Achievement! Yikes! I don’t think I’d be able to compete with big names like Tom Coates, Ernie Hsiung, Meg Hourihan and Derek Powazek, but thanks anyway for your nominations. Like…… Continue reading The Bloggies™, Again!

I don’t usually do survey memes, but since this one is passed on to me by the boy, I just have to be a good girlfriend and comply. 🙂 1. What’s the total size of music files on your computer? Well, my computer is back in my room in Indonesia so I have no way…… Continue reading Music Meme
