I’ll come right out to say this — I am not productive when my laptop is around. I realize my productivity has jumped about 242% after I stopped taking it with me to school. I listen in class. I participate. I learn. I learn!! Yet I realize I can’t do this forever, and I need [...]

Z and I discovering new boundaries. Z: “If you ever go out with A… even for a while, please tell me. But if you kiss some other girl, don’t tell me.” Me: “Hmmm.” Z: “However, if you go out with another girl exclusively, tell me also. If you fall for someone else, please do likewise. To summarize: don’t [...]

Travel for the sake of moving. All footage here created using Nokia N73. This ties in with the earlier review. (Note: bits at the last part show up like that not because of any defect in the phone’s imaging sensor, but because… I really was driving in conditions like that where visibility was at bare [...]

Warning: Extensive post ahead Nokia gave me a set of their new N-series phone, the N73, a few days before I left for India and Bangladesh. Having used it exclusively since early July, I was one of the earliest people to have the phone, even before it hit the market. I reserved my statements about the [...]

There are good days, days on which I’m funny and wonderfully driven. Focused and assured. Days when I know my place in life and life knows its place around me. Days where I could leave school, if it pissed me off enough, make a few phone calls and have jobs and apartments in three different [...]

Officially unable to function, or blog, until I find out at 1 am tonight if there’s going to a widescreen 6G video iPod to go with the Pocket Amp 2 and Westone UM1 I’m hoping to get for my 21st birthday.

I can be quite prissy about my food. Most people know that. I would rather starve than eat bad food; I find myself unable to give serious thought to dating people who don’t like food as much (which can be tough); I would travel far — usually this means to other countries — just to [...]

A meme. For the heck of it. 1. Like everybody, bopping along to Gnarls Barkley. Particularly “Crazy”. 2. Re-discovering education. Realising that my life in school is easily made better by forming project groups with exchange students. That makes everyone happy: the other hardworking local kids don’t have to complain about “those exchange students who run [...]

Or, my ex on why we really are worse than Bollywood So I was complaining about a mutual friend of ours being always of indefinite status, see-sawing between “on” and “off” with her girlfriend. Z looked at me with a “are you kidding look” and says, “well, J. was asking me how we broke up. I [...]

I’m not much of a shopper — I’m that anomaly of a girl who would rather waltz into a store, pick up everything she needs for that year, and finish that job within 10 minutes. Much to the chagrin of the people I date. At work I have colleagues who are constantly checking on the [...]
