An Update from Miss Molly

    Posted in Miss Molly by

    Two nights ago, Ernestine successfully guessed that I named my cat after Molly Hooper, the pathology lab assistant who works at the morgue of Barts in Sherlock BBC. Yeah, I’m that obsessed with the series. Actually, I’m planning on getting two more (male) cats and name them Sherlock and John. Oh how wonderful it would be…

    A few days ago, Molly went outside, just like she always does every morning, and got into a fight with a big cat. She came how very dirty and shaking. She’s still too young for a cat fight, I guess. I gave her a warm bath and hugged her for half an hour. Poor creature… 🙁

    After that incident, Molly still goes outside every morning, but never too far from our front door. I guess she learnt a lesson from the fight.

    The Apocalypse

    Posted in my day by

    Hi! Just a quick post to let you know that I survived the apocalypse and that I am safe and sound. Hope everyone is doing okay too!

    PS. I put “2012 apocalypse survivor” under my photo on the sidebar, just so you know 😉

    PPS. Those pictures above have nothing to do with the post, actually. (Duh!)

    At the Parking Lot

    Posted in love, what's inside my head by

    Have you ever remembered someone all of a sudden and how he treated you wrong, and then you looked around and found that there is someone else in front of you now who treats you so much better than him? I know I shouldn’t have compared them, as it’s unfair for both of them, but I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t help but think how lucky I am now to have this person by my side. Perhaps I’ve finally found someone worth fighting for.

    (And there you were, at the parking lot, folding the raincoat for me.)

    Almeria versus Crazy World

    Posted in musics by

    On 11 December, two of my favourite bands released their latest albums: Lifehouse with their Almeria, and Boys Like Girls with their Crazy World. Both of them had released a single a few months ago, so I had been waiting excitedly for these two albums.

    However, I must say that I’m a bit disappointed with Almeria. Lifehouse’s last album before it (Smoke and Mirrors) was very good. Of all the 18 tracks, only 2 or 3 that I didn’t like. Almeria has 13 tracks, and the only one I like is only Between The Raindrops. The rest of the album don’t sound like Lifehouse at all. Well, I understand that they wanted to try new things, but this thing they did didn’t please my ear. Sorry.

    Crazy World, on the other hand, has made me fall in love right since the first seconds of the first track, The First Time. Boys Like Girls have released three albums so far, and I’ve never been disappointed with any of them. They surely tried new things in Crazy World, but they didn’t lose their identity. The songs are still ‘Boys Like Girls-ish’.

    What do you think? Have you bought these albums? Which album do you think is the better one?

    Table Manner: Round 2

    Posted in college by

    You might (or might not) remember that last year I took a table manner course as one of the requirements to pass Intercultural Communication class. I passed the class successfully (I got a B); but since I was supposed to take that class this semester, I didn’t take the table manner course with my classmates. It was such a bummer because I got to attend the course with seniors. I didn’t dress very well and didn’t take many pictures.

    That was why I decided to retake the course (not the class, though; only the table manner course).

    Last year, the table manner course was held at lunch time and the students wore more casual. This year, it was held at dinner time and we were asked to wear formal clothes. The guys were all suited up and the girls wore dresses. Everybody took the course very seriously that some of them went dress and shoes hunting and such. Suddenly it was all like high school and prom night over again. It was fun, though, since I didn’t attend my senior prom in high school (it’s a sad story I don’t wanna tell ya. Sorry…)

    I wore a cute pink-ish purple floral dress (of which Velentina said was unlike me at all) and had my make up and hijab done by Ian. I took 130+ photos and had fun. It was much more fun than last year, I swear!

    And being pretty didn’t prevent me from being me. I photobombed. A lot!
