I’m back online!

So.
Yes, it has been a while since this blog was updated, but I cannot be blamed for that. We didn’t have the internet in my new house, and the few times I was over at the res or at Abel’s, I had more important things to do. (like World of Warcraft)
Here’s a short [...]

IELTS

Today I get to take an exam that proves that I can speak English!

From the hospital, with love.

First of all I would like to express my deepest sympathies for Josh, who has gotten sucked in by the work monster. We feel your pain Josh.
The one unique thing about this post is that I’m writing it from a work computer. Usually it takes me a few days on a particular ward to get [...]

Ikea madness

I have been sucked into the madness that is Ikea.
It’s nothing to be ashamed of, millions of other people have succumbed to the call of the giant store that sells furniture packaged in little boxes that the naive customer can assemble himself.
Things weren’t always like this.
I used to think that stuff from Ikea was plain, [...]

why craiglist has me giggling

Ok, craigslist. I’ve always known what the site was for, but until today I never really visited it. The first time I heard about it was in that story about the guy who traded up from a paper clip to a house. You know the one I’m talking about.
Anyway, yesterday I was talking to [...]

Anyway, ignore what the first sentence said, this week was not exciting, just vomit inducing. I’ve just graduated from university and am a fully [...]

Hong Kong Airport revisited

Ok I never though I’d say this, but here goes:
I wish our stopover in the Hong Kong airport was longer. =(
That’s weird right? I mean, who in their right mind would want to stay in an airport? Every traveller knows that an airport is almost hell on earth, at least if you’re an economy [...]

I’ll miss you 2007!

That was awesome! The New Year’s Eve fireworks have got to be the best thing about the end of the year here in the Philippines. The lightshow started at about 11, and even though it’s already 12:20 you can still see the bright lights and hear the extremely loud noisemakers in the neighbourhood.
My family [...]

Happy new year!

I wonder if any shops are open… It’s New Year’s Eve, and I am sorely lacking in the round fruit department. Mmm, there’s nothing like eating several kilos of round, ball shaped fruit to welcome the new year.
Why round fruit? And why so much of it?
Ok, first of all let me ask you, do [...]
