Weblog Wannabe

I don’t have any advertisement on my weblog so it doesn’t earn me any revenue whatsoever. But if it did, I would pledge my blog earnings to BlogAid. If you generate any revenue from your weblog, you might want to…

Devastating quake redraws map. This nature.com article explains how the earthquake has moved some islands by several metres only within minutes and why the wave created by it was able to wash up areas as far as 5 kilometres inland….

Images of Tsunami Sites by DigitalGlobe show the aerial views of Banda Aceh, Indonesia and Kalutara, Sri Lanka before and after the disaster struck. Thirst and grief stalk Indonesia. Photographs from Banda Aceh, Indonesia by Reuters AlertNet show the devastating…

Tsunami death toll jumps over 120,000. Aid pours into Asia, not reaching tsunami victims. Tsunami waters raise landmine fears in Sri Lanka. Everything seems to have gone wrong in this world. I keep thinking about how the survivors must feel….

I’m sure you have all heard about the South Asia earthquake and tsunamis. I’m not going to say anything about it since no word could do it justice. The least I can do is ask you to make a donation…

Ever since I witnessed the Northern Lights a.k.a. Aurora Borealis on November 7 (which was the most amazing thing, ever), I’ve become slightly obsessed with SpaceWeather.com. I have to check this site at least once a day. One night, after…

Last month I started posting my favourite photos taken with my new digital camera to my Flickr account instead of to my photolog for reasons that I really can’t remember right now. Unfortunately, I have exceeded my Flickr quota for…

I came across this boyband parody through Swirlee yesterday and I just have to listen to it first thing in the morning since then because it never fails to crack me up. I feel sorry for the boy, though. It’s…

The Invisibility Game is pretty frustrating but you might find it fun. Just try to move your cursor from the “go” box to the “stop” box without going outside the main box. Sounds easy? Well, it would be easy if…

If your weblog is powered by Movable Type and Bob from bob@y*o.com (where the * is an identifier made up of 3 or 4 digits) loves you so much that he keeps posting unwanted comments to your random weblog entries,…

About a month ago, I got hooked playing the Counting the Stars game. You might be, too. I just thought I’d post the link here in case any of you hasn’t discovered it yet. It’s pretty addictive. The funny thing…

Last weekend, we had supper at the boy’s favourite Pad Thai restaurant in Stratford. The restaurant is run by a Vietnamese couple. It was nothing fancy, but the food was good. Besides, you just can’t help but liking a place…

I know I’m risking getting laughed at by the boy by posting this but I scored a 7/10 at the What’s that song? quiz Modest Mouse edition and a perfect 10/10 at the Bon Jovi edition. What can I say….

Patently Silly is a website that showcases some patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that they found to be unique, useful, unobvious, or all three. In poetry. Be sure to check out the Sphincter Exerciser….

The Best Way to Skip a Stone. Oh man. You don’t know how happy I was to find this article. See, every time we come across a river or a lake, I always ask the boy to teach me how…

Every evening, at 7:30 PM, the boy and I would be glued to the TV watching “Jeopardy!”. Even when he was studying, the boy would take a break just to watch the show. He’s that much of a geek. Anyway,…

That’s just my way to say that these songs frequently get stuck in my head for hours or even days which drives, not only me, but also the boy crazy because when I have a song stuck in my head,…

New design! And I managed to get it up and running before I started hating it! That doesn’t mean that I didn’t take long to finish it, mind you. I just happen to like this design that much. Anyway, I’ll…

In case anyone’s still checking my weblog, I’ve been back in Canada since October 16. I just didn’t get around to updating this wee blog until today, mostly because I’ve been sick with a really bad case of cold even…

I’m supposed to be flying back to Canada on Friday next week but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Well, I will fly back to Canada this month but probably not next Friday because I still have so…

Today would’ve been my mother’s 61st birthday had she still been alive, but she passed away last year after being in a very poor health for almost a year, only a little less than two months before her 60th birthday….

So I’m back home again. Well, I’ve been home since the 18th but I just didn’t really have anything to post. But now I actually have something to post because, after being stuck with a pair of glasses with lenses…

Well, today is my last day in Canada. In less than 8 hours, I will leave Toronto, Ontario, Canada for London, England. I’m going to miss so many things about Canada: the wide open space, the friendly people, the car…

I’ve decided to restart my weblog with a fresh Movable Type installation, a new design, a new site structure, and a new format. Whether the old entries will be imported into the new installation or not will depend on how…
