  • photoblog: Taiwan Pride Parade 2008

    guess what i did today…























  • blast from the past


    my Mom sent me this photo by e-mail. it’s of me and my childhood friend Corné, with our first catch! we were hoping for loads of calamari rings *lol* who knew you needed more than just that one to feed a family? (or that preparing calamari from scratch was an art and not a mere matter of frying the hell out of it *lol*)

    also in this photo is my aunt Ella – may her soul rest in perfection.

    i should write more – but school’s a callin’

    remember when sun, water and friendship was enough?

  • Bear Square @ Ximen, Taipei


    as close to “safe for work” as we got *lol*

  • TPE this weekend!

    TGIF! Heavens, this Friday came just in time. For a moment there I thought I was losing it.

    Me and Peter are bound for Taipei this weekend. We’ve got tickets to see Wang Li Hong (LeeHom?) in concert! I’m super excited!! Not that I know LeeHom’s music or anything – but a break-away from the South is way over due. That – AND we’re hooking up with Heather, Mathilda and Stacey! I haven’t seen them since our island adventure.

    This is going to be good :0)

  • healthy relationships are all the rage

    judging by my blog stats – this post from 4 september 2007 seems to be very popular lately. worth a re-post, methinks ;0)

    • Love should be honest.
    • Avoid that which is bad in favor of that which is good.
    • Let your affections be kind, sincere and honorable.
    • Honor each other.
    • Be the example.
    • Never cool in your commitment.
    • Nurture and develop your enthusiasm!
    • Serve the Lord.
    • Rejoice in hope.
    • Be steadfast in the face of oppression.
    • Pray.
    • Help those around you.
    • Always be courteous.
    • Bless those who persecute – for they are hurt.
    • Never curse another.
    • Share in the joy of those who rejoice.
    • Share in the sadness of those who weep.
    • Always find agreement amongst yourselves. (“find” is a verb.)
    • Never, ever be conceited – in fact, avoid the conceited.
    • Choose in stead those who are humble – and be humble.
    • Be mindful (not proud) of your opinions. Learn more.
    • Forget about getting even – hurting those who hurt you, hurts more.
    • Rather fill your hearts with goodwill towards all mankind. All year long.
    • As far as possible, live in peace with everybody. Make it possible.
    • Revenge is not in your jurisdiction – leave that to God.
    • Rather care and provide nourishment to those you believe to be your enemy.
    • Even more so to those who believe you are their enemy. (The lesson goes both ways.)
    • Do not let evil overcome you.
    • Defeat evil with good.

  • i laughed so hard!

    Father: Hurry up or we’ll be late! If we’re late mommy is gonna spank you!
    Toddler son: (shocked look)
    Father: I’m kidding, mommy would never spank you, mommy would spank daddy.
    Toddler son: Mommy spanks daddy?
    Father (with a devious smile): Mommy spanks daddy all the time!

  • reminders

    my cellular is probably the single tool i rely on the most in my day-to-day existence. not only are all the important people in my life 1 sms away because of it – but it also keeps me on form, on time and (what passes for) sane through memo’s and reminders.

    to illustrate, here is my list of reminders for today:
    0600 – wake up sunshine!
    0615 – check you pulse
    0630 – you snooze, you loose!
    0645 – break the fast
    0700 – flock (and blog something)
    0800 – shower time (can’t touch this!)
    0830 – leave for school
    0900 – lesson 1 @ Rabbit class
    0945 – snack time!
    1000 – lesson 2 @ Rabbit class
    1045 – lesson 3 @ Rabbit class
    1130 – lunch and nap time
    1400 – wake up Rabbits

    *aside: my ipod touch desperately wants to help out where my phone cannot go – but without a speaker it’s alarms are useless. (anyone want to send me the new iphone? *lol*)
