(Scary looking dwarf under a Citibank-sponsored Christmas Tree beside the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel) Doesn’t Christmas freak you out a little? Doesn’t it seem weird that this is the “holiday” season, but for most people it doesn’t feel like a holiday? I’m assuming that more than half of Canada is stressing out at this time … Continue reading Christmas wasn’t that painful

What's up
Needed a laugh and these spots always cracks me up….So what’s up with you? If you know of any commercials or short clips that are funny, let me know. You don’t have to send me the clips, but if you have a link to them, please let me know. Otherwise, just tell me about the … Continue reading What's up
Say Cheese!
(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!
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
Holy hayfever, batman!
Who would've guessed you can get hayfever in Bangkok. First, there's no real drastic changes to seasons. I mean, basically the city has a wet, dry and hot season, where temperatures range from 25-38 degrees C… Sure its not so humid now but why all of sudden are all the symptom of being back in … Continue reading Holy hayfever, batman!
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.
I'm drowning 'ere!
So it's been raining in Bangkok, and pretty much all of Thailand for the past month. And, its getting worse. As I'm sitting here typing, it's pouring rain! Ok, the word "pouring" is an understatement… let's just say you're sitting comfortably at home infront of your computer reading your emails (or this blog) and, what's … Continue reading I'm drowning 'ere!
