The Itsy Bitsy Spider...

Spiders, I don't like spiders. They're nasty little things crawling all over the place and making cobwebs in every crevice and corner. Despite those things, there's something about spiders. Their webs to catch their prey, their ability to defy gravity, their venom to kill, but in the end, they're just spiders that can be killed with the whack of a rolled up book.

I Can Cook

Well, I can cook more than just pasta now, but it's still a secret to some people (mainly my parents). Why's it a secret? Well, if you can cook, people will ask you to do it, then you'll have another burden thrown at you ("Cook for me! I'm hungry!"). I cook with a bunch of people once a week. It's usually a fun affair.

Not too many words, just pictures

I used to walk to school, a 40 min walk, but a pleasant walk. I enjoy the air, the trees, and the space. I have always wanted to capture my walk. It's a scenic enough path, no people, hardly any cars, loads of houses, but most of all, lots of trees. Recently, I took the walk again with my camera this time, so pictures:

Happy 3.14 day

Happy Pi day everyone! It's not really a holiday that I celebrate, but I figured why not acknowledge it since we can never get enough holidays anyways. Life has been good lately, I've been getting things done almost everywhere: experiments are (well, were) working, books are being read, Foundation by Isaac Asimov and The Child in Time by Ian McEwan, pictures are getting taken, well, not really, I've been procrastinating, but I managed to get a few in the past month, I'll try harder, and well life has just been good lately, oh, learned to cook a bit, too, mostly pasta. I think the only hobby that I have that hasn't been moving is the knitting and crocheting bit. Somehow, I always want to make something, but when I get to it, something always seems to be off, I don't have the right yarn, the needles are being used or I just don't want to get started. Oh wells, think about that some other time, in the mean time, here are the few pictures I managed in the past month.

Picture diarrhea

As the title of this post indicates, it's mostly going to be pictures, not much words. Turns out I've been a bit picture constipated, nearly three weeks since I've put anything here, so without further ado, I present to you pictures from the past two weeks...



On a side note, I managed to finished Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice found there. It appears I'm making progress everywhere these days. Yay me!

Week #2

Here's the recent batch of pictures. There were weekdays where I didn't take any pictures, but it's okay, I sort of made it up during the weekends. Guess, I need to change my exception to 5 pictures a week, regardless of the days. It seems more likely I'll be able to do that then a daily picture.

Snow Day! Yay!

First snow day of the year, and instead of playing in the snow like I usually do, I had to shovel (with my housemates). It took 3 hrs, but at least our driveway's clean and I can see my car now. To commend ourselves for the hard work, we decided to get sandwiches at Se-port deli.

I got "The Gasm", which was awesome. (Awful picture though, my phone camera just doesn't cut it.) Chicken cutlet, melted mozzarella cheese, bacon, coleslaw, and Russian dressing (maybe lettuce, too, but I was too hungry and the sandwich was too awesome that I was blown out of my mind to remember such minor details as lettuce).

My housemate got "The Hannah". I swapped half of mine for hers, thus here's the half eaten Hannah. Chicken cutlet, melted mozzarella cheese, eggplant, pepperoni, lettuce and Italian dressing. Maybe because I wasn't as hungry at the time, or cause it's called "The Hannah" and not "The Gasm", but it wasn't as good. I think it's the Italian dressing, it's sort of lighter and not as distinctive as the Russian dressing, but the sandwich seemed to be missing something.

After the food adventure, I decided that I should upload some of the pictures I've taken the past few days. I'm going to try out Project 365, a photo a day. However, I've made an exception, that I don't need to take a picture on the weekends if I don't want to cause sometimes, I just don't go out on the weekends. I don't want to go out purposely to take a picture then go home cause then this becomes something that I need to do instead of something I want to do. I guess I'm just lazy,but I know myself too well, if I don't give myself some leeway, I'm eventually going to give up and stop altogether. So why not just give myself some leeway? Initially my idea was to take pictures of people because it seems fun and something new (I don't usually take pictures of strangers), but I'm sort of uncomfortable carrying my camera around and having people watch me take pictures. I don't really like people observing me, so it's going to landscapes and objects for the time being, till I get more comfortable.
