So what's up?

1. My birthday...

( Turning the big 2-8 )

So life has begun again after the interim that is Spring Festival. What does this mean?

Well...

1. School has started again - with 2 new half-day students for me. They are two cuties: shy South Korean boys. Teehee~ So much fun!

2. New MP3 player called Sebastian... thanks to my accident with my old MP3 player... TT___TT RIP Hyden-zou-san!

3. New blog ( Read more... )

So... life... lately...

1. School: I'm getting a new student and a new half-day student. Halfway through the school year... V.v;;; I'm excited for new kids... but it's a little daunting trying to fit them in and know where they are at... Go me!

2. Writing: So I've been a bit more serious about my writing lately... I've gotten into writing an actual ( Read more... )

This is my past year in a series of nutshells.

Education

My philosophy in life is that you learn everyday. Well, some days, you feel as though you learned more than others - but with living in Asia, I find I learn a lot.

Ano saa... ano saa...

This year, like one's birthday, doesn't appear to have changed much as of yet. It doesn't help to remember that in some parts of the world (ie. one's birth home), it still is stuck back in 2009. Ha!

So... resolutions and all that crap which comes with the new year seems rather... strange.

Resolutions, resolutions... Do I even ( Read more... )

So my friends and I were playing Apples to Apples and wow... I ended up embarrassing myself (as per usual).

First of all, one of my friends didn't know what engorged was... and well... that is just too embarrassing... trying to explain it.

Then, for the word convenient, this dude put down "Carmen Electra". I had no idea she was a porn star. v.v;;;

Madness of life has so not died down yet. This evening I nearly crumbled and NEARLY had another Poppa Johns episode (which around here means, a moment for Nan-chan which involves total lack of filter between brain and mouth resulting in silliness, hilarity and mind-numbingly embarassing moments for said Nan-chan).

Gah!

But, I took a deep breath ( Read more... )

1. Christmas ShoppingChristmas has now started in earnest - which means shopping. Which is just fine - if you have the energy for it. I can't say I have the total energy for shopping in the super busy difangs (places) that make up my large city - but I survive ( Read more... )
