5 am update
I just got back from a 2 week vacation in Hong Kong earlier this week and wow, what an unbelievably great trip! Unfortunately, one of the side effects of traveling halfway around the world is being up at 5 in morning right now. So what better way to pass the time until the rest of the family wakes than to →
move over taco bell!
I have just discovered the most delicious Mexican fast food ever: Chipotle! They've got a really simple menu, fast & efficient assembly line style service, huge servings at reasonable prices (not cheap, but not expensive either), simple modern decor, and the most important part: scrumptious food. I kind of just stumbled upon it this evening as I was looking for someplace →
i want your money!
Before getting into the main part of this post, two quick things: just got to Vancouver today for a week long vaca here with the family and family friends and will be going on a week long Alaskan cruise on Saturday. Had japanese food for supper and wow! The sushi and sashimi here is soooooooo much better than the stuff →
urbana 06: day 1
I love this free wireless. I never thought I'd still be connected to the net here at Urbana. These couches in lobby are pretty comfortable too. Too bad I can't sleep here. So it's been a day and a half since I registered for Urbana and so much has happened. Tried a bison meat burger, registered for Urbana, saw the huge →
ramblings from a hotel lobby
So I've already been up for 7 hours (minus the hour and a half I was asleep on the plane) now and it's only 11 in the morning. Good ol' 7 am flights forcing you to leave the house at 4 am. So I'm in St. Louis now for the tri-annual Urbana conference. Except I'm not quite there yet. As →
warm fuzzies
when you have your first drink of the day and the way you can feel it just travel through and coat your insides getting a phone call from a good friend a good piece of stinky cheese putting on a warm pair of worn-in jeans fresh from the dryer hot chocolate with some good friends getting mail, real mail, not credit card bills or junk →
last beautiful autumn day?
It's 2am, and I'm still up...why? I don't know, I never seem to go to bed before 1 these days. Interesting weekend. Thanksgiving dinner at CCF on Friday. Great times. Good food + food for the soul. Very unproductive Saturday. Went out for lunch with the parents and my grandma before she heads back to HK. Very yummy dim sum. Weird →
falling autumn
It's that time of year once again. When the leaves change colour, school work builds up, and you don't know what to wear in the morning because it's cool in the morning/evening but warm in the afternoon. Stupid weird fall weather. Great night last night. Scrumptious pizza and seafood at John's Italian Cafe with many many friends, a little "surprise" cake →
O Deus é bom! God is good!
Just a short disclaimer before I start this post: this is going to be super long. So be prepared to be reading for a while if you you're going to read this. If you don't feel like reading through all this, you can just browse through the photos and read the important stuff in the last 5, 6 paragraphs. You →
i’m singing in the rain (well, not really, but that’s how I feel!)
These past 2 days have been awesome. It all started with Future Blue Day yesterday at IBM. Good times with all the other interns, taking a day off, playing games together, eating BBQ, going on a scavenger, just good times, even if it was raining intermitently. Then came the adventure worship practice downtown. Got picked up by Gizelle in the middle of one of →
it’s a beautiful day! *insert guitar riffs here*
What a beautiful day it was today! Too bad most of it was spent working inside. :( But I there is some good news and bad news. First the bad news: Montreal was eliminated last night and I can't pre-order the Starfield CD cause you have to have an US address. Boo-urns! Good news: I'll save $10-$11 on the new →
