Archive for April, 2008



Daytime is siesta time on the bed, where the sun streams in through the skylight. Taken with my cameraphone, so you don’t see the crazy amount of cat fur on their blanket. I just washed it two days ago, but you’d never know it!
I’m also vacuuming far more than I usually do, to try and [...]

Netfile was particularly busy today, and I completely forgot to change my address with Canada Revenue Agency beforehand. The deadline of April 30 was never much of a consideration before since I’ve always had refunds. But this year I have a balance, and I wasn’t too optimistic about getting through to them on the phone [...]

Fortune (Cookie) 500

Ooh, can’t wait! Funnily enough, this was taken last Sunday at a restaurant near my previous workplace, where my former workmates and I used to go to for lunch. Was this my fortune delayed, then?

Weekend Preview

The weather forecasters were all wrong about the weekend, and this time it was in our favour — it didn’t rain! In fact, it didn’t really rain until today, which is fine because it’s Monday and most of us are working.
The fact that the TTC was on strike didn’t seem to deter people from getting [...]

Had to set the alarm to get myself up to do this; Saturday mornings are typically lie-ins for me. This walk had already been postponed once (last weekend), and the forecast for today called for rain. Not to mention there’s a transit strike on right now, so anyone who didn’t have a car or didn’t [...]

TTC On Strike

The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) started striking an hour ago (midnight) with a notice of an hour and a half, and I just started reading the news about it:

Oh boy, this is going to wreak havoc. It’s times like this I’m glad [...]

from Father O’Five
My older brother, Allan, recently scanned and uploaded this photo of our family (minus Alvin, who was still a bun in the oven) of the day we left the Philippines in October, 1974, from a photo album that belongs to my Aunt Felipa (the lady holding a bag). We were bound for SASKATCHEWAN*, [...]

Jose-Jose’s fortune cookie is right — he is travelling far and wide. Actually, we all are, but he’s going the third-soonest after Anf and Rosie, who are leaving next week. That’s one thing I love about the CSers: everyone is either catching a flight soon or just got off a plane. Everyone’s on the move [...]

What??? How does this work? It’s correct! Try it and see if it works for you. I’ll put in a little poll at the end after publishing so you can answer in one click.
(DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!)
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you don’t read [...]

Since the new windows were installed in late January, the room at the back of the house has been occupied. In about a week, the room will be free again and I suspect the cats will be the main occupants, judging by their intense fascination for the gigantic trees in the backyard filled with birds [...]
