(A close up of me and my friend during a bicycling trip at Ancient City) The last couple of weekends have been interesting spending time with friends and going around taking photos. I don't think I've ever taken so many photos in a span of a couple of weeks… I actually filled up my memory … Continue reading Say Cheese!

I might FAIL!
(Wat Rakang at sunset while taking a stroll through my old stomping grounds and where I lived when I was last in Bangkok) The past week has been an interested one. The only downer to this week was finding out that I might fail one of my courses. The professor has given me a second … Continue reading I might FAIL!
Crazy weather, everywhere…
First, residents of Vancouver were asked to boil their tap water before drinking it because wind storms was wreaking havoc along the Pacific for the past couple weeks stirring up a lot of dirt and minerals in the local reservoirs. Now, the city is under a heavy snow warning. After hearing about this news from … Continue reading Crazy weather, everywhere…
A low-key, yet eventful Birthday weekend
Birthdays are a strange phenomena… other than the physical indication that you're getting older (i.e. a little more white hairs, aching body parts, etc.), you wouldn't realize it was your birthday. i've come to realize that its letting people know of your birthday that makes it a special day. It's this day that everyone celebrates … Continue reading A low-key, yet eventful Birthday weekend
Sir, can I have some more?

Banana-leaf-boats
Yesterday was the Loy Krathong festival in Thailand. This is where people get to the nearest body of water and drop a little banana leaf boat to pay respect to their ancestors and make offerings to the water (god?). Had a chance to make my own banana boat… it didn't really help my confidence level … Continue reading Banana-leaf-boats
One week to go
I best get my a$$ moving and start finishing this paper for one of my uni courses. The subjects a little heavy… the link between propaganda and democracy. If you're interested, go and read a bit of Noam Chomsky's stuff – he'll set you straight. Basically, I'm arguing that democracies, like authoritarian governments or dictatorships, … Continue reading One week to go
Bowling with elephants
So what does this PICTURE have anything to do with bowling? Not much, really… except that these girls came out and starting busting a move. Maybe it’s some entertainment while we bowl, but once these girls came out, no one was really in the mood to bowl. For a second, I wasn’t sure if I … Continue reading Bowling with elephants
Your "trusted" news source.
So if you’ve been following the news lately, its a scary thought to think that another country has nuclear weapons… shouldn’t there be less countries with nukes? I mean, after the whole Cold War period and talk about reducing the stockpile of nukes, the US still is leading the way. Well, with recent live tests … Continue reading Your "trusted" news source.
