Alternative? I had no idea how to even classify the music that I found appealing to my eardrums. It [...]

Catching Up
(July 10th 2010) Dear burst of hot gas Planet Earth, It has been about a month since I last blogged, ouch! Well, it is the dead of summer already and I can finally say that I am sick of the heat wave that has passed over your entire northern hemisphere. I had a very non-traditional [...]

Top 10 Public Restroom Absurdities
Enjoying a warm dinner on a Sunday afternoon: mom decided it’s Italian night and you really couldn’t disagree with that.

Reading
(March 23rd, 2010) Dear Planet Earth, Wild, exotic, adventurous, and vastly descriptive. I’ve caught myself in a pretty captivating adventure book called The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear.

The Less Taken Path
(March 12th, 2010) Dear Car Riding, Gas Guzzling, Ignorant Planet Earth, I’d like to make every day a day open to adventure. One where the eyes shift around the diverse landscape in every direction, admiring all of the earthy colors and natural architectural masterpieces. And one breathes in the aroma of the trees and the [...]

Macaroni and Cheese!
(January 8th, 2010) Dear Planet Earth, I was so delighted to finally come home from this long, dreadful week at school. I have been anticipating it all day and I’d worked up a massive headache from schoolwork by the last period. The walk home wasn’t so smooth, since I had to tread through deep snow [...]

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I felt like sharing a recipe that I had prepared a couple of days ago for some delicious crêpes. I’ve been dieing to make them ever since I got something to top it with! My creation is shown above in the form of a dessert crêpe: decked out with [...]

I would like to start off by saying how glad I am that Winter Break has started. It seems as though it has been on everyone’s mind for weeks and finally the day (or more accurately week) has come for celebration. So far my break has been quite hectic because of my move. I am [...]
