Lake Superior State University has released its annual list of "banished words"; words they consider trite, overused, annoying, or a combination of all three.

I think I am supposed to post this entry first and then the New Year post ? But nevermind, it's the same thing . This one might be a long one . I got back from my short trip to Pangkor Island yesterday . Well it wasn't the kind of blue sky holiday I have been longing for but it was preferable (: I...

To be honest, I had second thoughts of watching The Founding of a Republic. China Daily, the state English paper, is required reading for me DAILY and I didn't want to overdo the propaganda. But curiosity got the better of me and so I went to Lido this afternoon to see the film that marked the 60th...
So here's my list of the best books I read in 2009. I'm not going to do the best movies I watched or songs I heard or TV shows I like, because I really didn't do enough of those to be able to have a good list. And really, do you need to be TOLD that 30 Rock is awesome? (If you do, you shouldn't. You...
As 2009 ended on a slow and awkward note, 2010 entered painlessly marking the beginning of a new decade. Aside from my last minute private reflections of 2009, I didn't take up my cousin's offer to attend her soiree at her place and I didn't spend the final eve of 2009 on someone's dance floor like...
I am reading the book the True Champion's 30 Day Challenge by AJ Ali. In it, he recommends that we journal our progress. I will be posting my journal entries here. Please follow along and use this to encourage me and hold me accountable. The book starts by recommending that you find 3 things to...
One of my best friends younger sister is 13, posting things on Facebook about wanting a boyfriend with an 8-pack. OMG kids these days, you have to love them. So young, so hopeful!!! Even I don't have a boyfriend with an 8-pack. Infact in my 7 years of dating, I never had a boyfriend with an 8-pack....
The holidays have come and gone, leaving behind little more then faint memories of momentary bliss and peace. There are empty boxes piled up by the garbage cans with bits of crumpled paper clinging to their sides, expensive china cluttering the sink, and the low hum of holiday music floating through...

Sorry hon, I couldn't be bothered typing them all out so I stole them off your blog and modified the answers :) 1.) What did you do in 2009 that you've never done before? Wrote "2009" at the end of all the dates 2.) Did you keep your New Year's resolutions? Yes, completely. My resolution was to...
Welcome to 2010! Yes, I'm a few days late on the actual welcome part of it, but with the huge snowfall we got on Christmas, I spent New Years redoing some Christmas's. I will admit, Christmas this past year sucked. Actually, now that I pause to think about it, 2009 kind of sucked all the way around...
Well, managed to get the last workout in as planned. I even managed to improve upon the original plan a bit, and did my stretching workout _before_ playing DDR. In the new year I really need to get back into the workouts, if only so I can get my hamstrings stretched out properly again. This peculiar...
"I'm going to catch you!" shouted John running after her through the backyard. "Will not! Will not!" laughed Jane as she looked behind her, still running. She shrieked as she saw that John was gaining on her. Her little feet slipped on the decorative stone path that surrounded their grandparents'...
Or at least, that was my plan. I was going to blog or at least post a picture to my blog every day. Yeah, didn't happen. But today is a palindrome. And that makes me really happy. Happy enough not to worry about starting a bunch of sentences with conjunctions. Although, I like to blog like I'm just...
