Bad things happen to good people. Its just something that happens in life and we don’t always understand it. We sure don’t like that it does. But it happens anyway. Shitty things happen to extraordinary people. Sometimes, amazingly bad things happen- and keep on happening- to good, good people.
Some of us make our peace by [...]

This girl received an email in her inbox today that went like this:
Greetings from The Fletcher School! We are writing today to offer our congratulations – you have been admitted to attend The Fletcher School beginning in September 2008! While the majority of our applicants will not be notified until late March, the Committee [...]
all yellow-ed up

It seems this girl is always just back from somewhere, or headed off to some place these days. Not that she’s complaining. Freshly back from Down Under, she’s off to Thailand for a short stint before headed off to East Africa for a slightly longer trip. And in preparation for that, she had to go [...]
red dress + white boots = big trouble
Posted in adventure, friends, funnies on February 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The dress looked normal enough. It didn’t show skin. It wasn’t figure hugging. It needed a belt to even look remotely alright. It was a nice dress. A pretty dress. A red dress. It seemed nice enough on the mannequin. It looked nice enough on her when this girl tried it on. It seemed innocent [...]
would you change?

Someone asked this girl once- actually, it was screamed at this girl during a program segment- “Why must you change?” There were probably a million and one things this girl could have said and she’s sure she uttered something moderately intelligent, but she does not quite recall what. It was a big question that probably [...]
this girl’s top 10 books
Posted in just me, life learnings, new things, writings on February 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This girl has finally come up with her list of her top 10 books she’s ever read. Just for the record, she is not counting the Bible- that book, she thinks, deserves to be on a list on its own.
Her list is decided based on the following criteria:
(1) How she felt reading it- she can’t [...]

Someone sent this girl this webbie the other day about favourite books. Its a site that talks about what might be the top 10, top 100 books kinda thing. You can see it here. She thinks its an Aussie list. But whatever. This girl has extracted the top 10 books below and she’s pleased that [...]
the Great Alpine Road to home

She thinks she should blog about her travels at some point, but it won’t really be today.
For now, she’s just glad to be back. Not because she had a miserable time- far from; she had a great time with the Agents. They ate, they shopped, the did the whole sight seeing thing, they zen-ed their [...]
the Great Ocean Road

They’ve finally done it- the Agents have finally done their Great Ocean Road drive. YAY! *Clap! Clap!* It was a long, long drive which started at an unearthly five o’clock in the morning and they had to first drive to the start point which took them almost 1.5hrs to begin with.
The Great Ocean Road itself [...]
the Great Coastal Drive

So the Agents are in Melbourne after driving for over 1000km from Sydney. All is good now that they have warm water, a roof over their head and food in their bellies. They made the long journey over two days- Ninja and this girl taking turns at the wheel.
At first, the drive was beautiful- wind [...]
