Afroman Biscuit?


This made me LOL hard, so I just had to share. I'm not exactly sure what this is although it appears to some sort of biscuit, brownie, Oreo-type thing. All I have to say is that the packaging's pure genius.

Drifting white blossoms,
Like fragile, melting flowers,
The sky is their field.





There's finally snow on the ground! It really just doesn't feel like winter until there's a a nice, soft blanket of white covering the ground!







I'm definitively feeling a hibernation mode coming over me. Perhaps in a past life I was a bear? ;)
Right now it's all about lazy days in pajamas, comfort food, and sleeping away my mornings...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows























        So a couple days ago, Tuesday to be exact, I watched the second of the Sherlock Holmes movies! :D

It. Was. Amazing. 

If you've been even casually following the news of this movie, I'm sure you'll have heard of the infamous "train scene". 

It. Was. Amazing. XD 

Yes, there's an abundance of chemistry bromance between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Do you need any more reasons to run to the theatre right this moment? I think not. 

Oh...and did I forget to mention a certain Stephen Fry gets naked? ;)

Read on for more fangirling and a regurgitating toilet's worth of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows GIFs

Book Review: I Am Second



I Am Second is a powerful collection of personal stories, showcasing people from all walks of life. Whether they are major league baseball players, multi-platinum rockers, or soldiers fighting for our country, in I Am Second they bare their souls and speak freely about some of the most challenging obstacles they have faced in their lives. They tell stories of drugs and addiction, of fame and rejection, of war and death. However different their situations may be, they are united in the fact that when they had reached rock bottom, the ends of their lines, they discovered a saviour and found hope. I Am Second: Real Stories. Changing Lives. is about a journey that countless people have travelled, about discovering a love and safety in God, and putting Him first in their lives and shouting proudly to the world, "I Am Second".

Bottled Passion Screenshots: Day 3

Yes I realize these are late, my sincerest apologies...however, do enjoy! :)
I'm currently on episode 17 of Bottled Passion, yes a little behind, but unfortunately, reality does have its obligations to attend to. The long waited finale of episode 21 will be airing Monday, January 2nd. Yep, 2012 is slowly but surely sneaking up upon us!

As always, 10 in all! 





Daily Terrible Haiku


Those innocuous looks
Conceal the darkest secrets.
Beware the children.


I going to blame the especially terrible haiku today on lack of sleep. These days I've either been oversleeping or undersleeping, and by more than a few hours too. These topsy-turvy rest cycle has definitely thrown my life into a loop, it time to get back on track! I apologize for not updating these past few days, but you can be assured that more Terrible Haikus will be coming up along with some reviews!

So the mini story behind this post is from a situation that I'm sure we've all encountered in life sometime or perhaps will in the future. It's when you discover that someone close to you has that dirty little secret.

Bottled Passion: Update *Screenshots* :O

So, like the TVB addict I am, I've been steadily chasing Bottled Passion every weekday. Currently there are 14 episodes out of the 21 episode series, and it just seems like each one is better than the last!

Most of these are from episode 13, focusing on Niki Chow and Raymond Wong, playing the would-be lovers Tsui Sum徐芯 ) and Tung Boon Sin (佟本善).

Without further ado...


Raymond Wong's a cutie in this drama! :3 

The two are separated through misunderstandings and betrayals...

She forgot the past,
An amnesic love story.
He held on tightly.


Young, Wild and Free


Snoop Dog and Wiz Khalifa have another hit on their hands with "Young,Wild & Free", check it out above! :)

So while I'm not exactly condoning these lyrics, I have to admit this song has a really mellow and catchy beat.

So what we get drunk,
So what we smoke weed,
We're just having fun, 
We don't care who sees.
So what we go out,
That's how it suppose to be,
Living young, and wild and free.

Anyways, what I really wanted to share with you guys is a little anecdote. While traveling home on the bus today, I thought I heard strains of something familiar coming from a man sitting across from me. He had the telltale white iPod headphones in and was humming something under his breath. It took me a while to put my finger on it but I eventually hazard a guess...maybe Young, Wild an- nooo...couldn't be. He was in his mid-thirties, dressed conservatively in a suit and loafers, the picture of a gentleman. As he got up and walked passed me towards the bus doors- So what we get drunk, so what we smoke weed... 

MADE MY DAY.

The message of this song might not be the most wholesome to the generation that this is aimed at, but I love the overlying theme of forever young.


  Pip pip cheerio!

Happy Hump Day!


Happy Wednesday everyone! 
So, a couple years back, I came across the expression of "hump day" and I had seen people using it in messages and forum posts and whatnot, but never really knew what it meant. While searching for a nice image to accompany this blog post, all I can say is that searching "hump day" on Google images would not be the smartest thing to do. I pity the one who attempts this in the workplace *laughs*. 

Anyways, so long story short, what hump day really means is that in the course of the week, Monday and Tuesday are an uphill battle and once we make it to Wednesday, the "hump",  it's all easy cruising to the long-awaited relaxation of the weekend. Like a roller coaster! Whee! ^___^
