Mmmm… Donuts…Donuts turn me into

Mmmm… Donuts…

Donuts turn me into Homer Simpson. I suddenly found a peculiar fascination for donuts and donut-related products. Perhaps there’s also a job for me at LAPD — just kidding. But donuts… mmmmm… tasty!
Excuse the brief post — I will be busy the rest of the night scavenger-ing my kitchen for something […]

I am glad that the nation of Jordan has given full control of naming offsprings to the prospective parents, even if it means naming their child Osama or Saddam. Eesh. Like anyone would want to name their kid after […]

Immigration’s One Fickle Pickle

I’m having a great day. And a great night, except for the frustration involving logging into my Gmail account. First, this morning, I got a call from the in-charge-of-international-student’s-immigration-although-she-doesn’t-do-crap person, saying that now I can get an I-20 (needed document that provides me with the permission to study in the […]

Dialogue: The Moor’s Last Sigh

Rushdie’s The Moor’s Last Sigh is finally growing on me. The mood is very similar to Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, as mentioned before. However, the stories are more fluid, and the characters are more diverse. I found some intriguing passages — I should have […]

Learn Korean — somehow, I feel quite guilty that I never got around to doing something like this.

Inner Leo — Unleashed!

I am a Leo, astrologically speaking. If I could be an animal, I’d be a Lion — why be anything else, when you can be king(or queen) of the jungle and animal kingdom? Ok, maybe a monkey, but Lions are pretty cool.
So astrologically, not that I believe in horoscopes, I […]

Unkymoods!

I’ve featured “Unkymoods” which is on your lower left — it is supposed to depict my particular mood for the day. Well, I found it extremely dissatisfactory, because they don’t have nearly enough of a selection! I am very particular about my feelings on a particular time — I would need more than […]
