Adventures in a Cambodian Airport
So, after an adventurous trip such as Carly and I took last winter, one of the most common questions (if not THE most common, next to inquiries about how the water of SE Asia worked on my stomach) would be, "what was the best part?" Simple enough, right? And really, I would have to answer that it was the Cambodian leg of the journey.
But then, were ( Read more... ) -
Overview of Hong Kong & Macau
I feel like this post could go on forever if I tried to catch up with everything that's happened in the last several months. The idea alone has created such a daunting prospect, that I've kind of settled into avoiding my blog altogether (a thing that has become increasingly easy, with all the events, happenings, and stories that have been piling up ( Read more... ) -
Can You Relate?
Someone forwarded this to me in an e-mail. I laughed for like, 10 minutes. XD

Random Update to Fill the Void
Hello all,
Yes, I know. I really need to update more. *sigh*
Since it's been SO long since my last update, there are actually quite a lot of looong stories that I could share, but due to the fact that I'm catching a cold (first time sick in what, like a year? : / ), I'm not sure I've got the patience for it. But I do have a bunch of little stories to ( Read more... ) -
SO. MUCH. THE TIRED. @_@
Ok, so here's the breakdown of the last 3 weeks:
(Disclaimer: in light of my current state of semi-unconsciousness, I'm just gonna drop links to everything and let other websites do most of my 'splainin' for me.)

This Just In: Satan's Preferred Weapon of Choice is the BUG FROM HELL
I don't think I ever churned out that DEMON INSECTS OF AOMORI post last year... I know a lot of people heard about my "issues" last spring and summer, but I don't think I ever sat down and committed it to a blog entry. But hey, Spring has come again, and here I am facing new demons.
For those of you who didn't hear about my adventures last year, ( Read more... ) -
The 8 Deadly Sins of E-mail
Read this today in the Writer magazine. ^_^
THE EIGHT DEADLY SINS OF E-MAIL:
1. The e-mail that's unbelievably vague. ("Remember to do that thing.")
2. The e-mail that insults you so badly you have to get up from your desk. ("HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE DONE THAT THING?!!!!")
3. The e-mail that puts you in jail. ("Please tell them that I asked you to sell ( Read more... ) -
Earth Hour
"Earth Hour" is an event that started last year in Australia, where people in Sydney turned off their lights for one hour to promote energy conservation and raise awareness on global warming. Over 2 million people participated, as did many businesses, and even places like the Sydney Opera House. It was such a success (achieving a roughly 10% energy ( Read more... ) -
A Weekend of Firsts
I just had a really awesome weekend. In fact, it was so awesome that it took four days for me to recuperate and focus enough to churn out a blog entry about it. Seriously, I don't think I've ever been so exhausted in my life. >_<
This constitutes a super-long blog entry of explanation!
It all started about a week and a half ago...
I was at school, ( Read more... )
