It's time to throw away our perfect Christmas tree. The tree which Rob chose for us. The tree that smells so good. The tree that was so expensive at $50 will just end up in the bin tomorrow! I wish we could keep it a little bit longer. But then it's not keeping up with tradition. Goodbye our perfect christmas tree! You'll be in our external hard drive forever!

The five men, whose names are Yapa, Joel, JJ, Posen and Albi, come from a small hillside village on Tanna, which is the southern tip of the archipelago that makes up the island nation of Vanuatu. At home, they live in mud huts, wear nothing but penis sheaths made from grass, and while away days conforming to a sort of tropical cliché: tending crops, looking after pigs and sitting contentedly in

To book or not to book?Been shopping around for cheap airfares to Brussels but when I saw the fare for a round trip flight to Paris, it definitly made me want to change my mind about Brussels. For just $20 it'll get you to the most romantic city in the world! Yup, just $20! Could you believe that? Now, what do I do?

Yup, I stood in a long queue just to get my autographed copy of her newest cookbook, A piece of cake. She's Leila Lindholm, a chef and a cookbook author who's well known here in Sweden. I'm a big fan because of her bubbly personality, her easy recipes and laid-back cooking style. Aside from the recipes in her cookbook, the beautiful photos in it are enough to get you cooking!A piece of cakeLeilas

Eversince I and Robert sold all those Easter Cards we made to help raise some money for their class trip, I haven't stopped making cards since then. It's my instant therapy right now. Whenever I'm troubled or bored (or craving for chocolates), I snip and fold and glue it all away :D . I made a couple yesterday. It took me longer to find the 10 cm left-over ribbon I used for the flower card than

My son is an avid fisher. I've no idea where he got his love for fishing from but he can drop his computer or his playstation games anytime for a chance to fish and sit on his favorite spot by the sea for hours on end waiting for a bait. Right after school the other day, he took his bike and his rod to his spot and was gone for a couple of hours. This is what he came home with...

While on my way to work today, a boy of about 8 years old and his mom sat across me in the buss. What I quickly observed was that the moment they sat, the boy's mom handed him a game console to play with. Both had earphones in their ears with loud music coming out of it. They never conversed, nor exchanged even a word the whole entire trip. By the time we got to the city, his mom made a sign that

We got creative after Robert announced that their class needs more traveling money for their last field trip this term. They are planning to go to Spain, that is if they can come up with the money ASAP. So now, everybody, even the parents, are chipping in with their time, stuff and their creativeness. One mom baked and sold yummy Lebanese breads and cookies, a dad took down a lot of twigs for the

I'm back. Thanks to awesome Ms. Chililady who thought my pictures are so great that she included me in her `blogs-who-make-her-happy´ list. She got me inspired to blog again and to start off, I want to share this with you... Taken in Palawan in the Philippines last year, that picture of mine is featured in this japanese travel mag (Dec issue).It's a small feat but it surely gave my heart a lot
