Here’s a list of the features in our newly acquired house as compared to this list I made of my ideal house: — older than your grandparents, if your grandparents were born less than 84 years ago;— detached (yes!);— not…

Yesterday I became a permanent resident of Canada (basically like a Canadian citizen without the rights to vote or be voted in the federal election and can be kicked out of the country if committed a crime) and today? Today…
Things I will miss about this apartment once we move out into our own house: Relatively cheap rent; Not having to pay for utilities because they’re already included in the rent; The location, because I actually like Waterloo. Things I…
According to Troy, we still haven’t found a house to buy after two weeks of hardcore househunting sessions because my standards are too high. I disagree with that. I don’t think my standards are too high. I just know exactly…
Been more than a little bit obsessed with househunting lately. Hence the lack of post. I didn’t even bother to make a birthday post. I turned a year older on Monday. And yes, I had a good birthday. I…
In case you’re wondering about how the Picture the Cure Again show I was talking about last week went, it went fine. I got one picture sold on the opening night, which was cool. We got six friends showing…
Do you like my latest indoor garden art installation? :) It’s called “Jesus and His 5 Prickly Apostles”. I had three choices for the centre piece: Buddha, Jesus, and Yeti. Buddha is a bit too short to stand out…
When I was trying to find a colour scheme for the current design of this site, I kept coming across these three-letter words. The three-letter words are hex codes for just a few of the many web-safe colours. The…
Hello, my name is Firda and I’m a plant addict. Right now I have this craving to go to a nursery and buy a boatload of plants and seeds. Last night I gave in to the temptation and bought myself…
I love cover songs and I love folk music, so when Google Reader recommended Cover Lay Down to me, of course I had to subscribe to it. It’s chock full of folk song cover (folk cover song?) goodness, including covers…
I spent the whole morning redoing my about page. A big chunk of the time was spent choosing a self-portrait to put there. I had to choose between a blurry photo of me that looks kind of dizzying, a not-so-blurry…
In January, we went to see Hayden performing live in Kitchener and a singer/songwriter named Basia Bulat warmed the stage for him. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy her performance as much as I did so I was pleasantly surprised….
This blog is currently undergoing a complete makeover. As long as you don’t stray too far from the main page or the individual entry pages, you’ll be okay. Otherwise, you might get lost. Some pages are still looking ugly and…
Early in December, we went to a family gathering type thing and I saw a wall spread showing a happy-looking Santa Claus in a forest surrounded by animals such as deers, a fox, some birds, some bunnies and a…
This might be only of interest to new visitors coming from the Bloggie site, but for all its worth, take the rather outdated What’s Your Chance to Win a Bloggie? quiz (ca. 2004) or better still, get a blog award…
I probably should’ve wished you a happy new year with yesterday’s post but the day was kind of blah (as in grey and snowy) yesterday it just didn’t feel appropriate. Today, however, is sunny and the sky is blue….
And I’ve got some hits from the 2008 Bloggies Awards already. Apparently the wee blog has been placed in the Hall of Fame for winning the Best Asian Weblog category three times and is not eligible for nominations in…
