Still Around

Hi All! I'm still around! It's been a little over a month since I've last been here, but I'm still good and happy. (Thanks for asking! Haha!) So what brings me here? Well, Harry Potter, of course. Today is the opening day of the last Harry Potter movie, and although I don't like the movies as much, it still sad to see the ending to the series. I grew up with Harry Potter. He was older than me when I first began reading and I was older than him when the series ended. It was a good read to me no matter what others say. All those good old summer rainy days with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Hogwarts. And now, the last movie is here, no more waiting for the next one, be it books, or movies. There's always Harry Potter land though. haha!

One day at a time

I'm back! It's going to be a no picture post again! I have some that need to be uploaded, but I'm lazy at the moment, and the truth is, I already took a one week break from the "a picture, a post, a day", haha! I will get back to it, soon. Probably going to restart from day 1. Just bear with me, we'll make it to day 365 one day.

Day 2

I'm back for a second consecutive day. Let's see how long this can last before I get bored and give up. Turns out, I don't really know too much about photography, hopefully, these picture and posts a day will help me improve.

06/02/11-Day 2- On the floor lays a little power outlet. "Take a picture of me", it said, "So that I won't be forgotten when I'm replaced."

News

Challenge finished! The scarf/shawl was gifted! (The picture isn't so good) Now that everything is done, life seems so empty, so I figured I need something to do. So remember way back when, when I decided to do the photograph a day challenge? I'm going to go back to that. Starting today. A picture a day, a post a day.

06/01/11- Day 1- Part of my backyard at home. I like how the rusty fan cover looks. Haha!

I'm Knitting Again!

Challenge: 4 balls of yarn (~1000 yds) into a scarf/shawl thing (21' by 55')
Time: 6 days to complete
My knitting rate: not so fast (~10 inches/day, give or take 5 inches)

Challenge Accepted! (haha)

Happy Friday the 13th!

Recently, there was talk of ghosts and spirits, how befitting a topic for friday the 13th. When I was younger, I played this Chinese version of Ouija, known as "Wan Die Xian 玩碟仙" (literally "playing with cup spirits"). It's quite similar to Ouija, except the "board" was just a piece of paper with Chinese characters written on it. As most of us involved were quite young (say 7-9) and couldn't understand the Chinese characters, different things were written on the paper, I believe there was some asian-american fusion happening on that paper, haha. My older cousin (lots older) wrote the paper and I believe we played with a coin. Oh boy, did the coin move and accurately answer some of my test questions. Eventually, we got scared or bored, probably more scared as we were young and gullible, and stopped. My older cousin had to leave the house to rip up the paper so that the spirits wouldn't see. He told us he got a nosebleed after ripping up the paper, but we don't know if it's true or not as we didn't see. We never played again.

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.
