Valentine’s Day Edition

Since it’s almost Valentine’s Day and since I haven’t changed the header on this site in a very very long time, I’ve decided that it would be the perfect opportunity to dust off my sketch book.
The header image is actually my first Photoshop painting using my new Wacom Intuos3 Special Edition graphics tablet. I scanned [...]

Back from Europe

For the last week, I’ve been traveling through Europe with my sister, niece, and cousin. Very late last night, we finally returned home and it feels good. The places we specifically went to were Frankfurt, Germany for one day, Prague, Czech Republic for a day before venturing to Milan, Italy for a whole day before [...]

5 Reasons I Blog

It’s a way to collect my thoughts and get [...]

Free Juice and Cookies Rock!

I’ll Save You Mommy!

If you’ve never met me in person, or been close enough to inspect my lips, you may not notice the small scar on my lower one. But, I see it everyday when I look in the mirror and was [...]

I’m Fortunate

Growing up, I spent a lot of time wishing my parents had enrolled me in piano lessons when I was two or taught me a second (or even, third) language when I was three. In fact, I resented them.
Despite being on the dean’s list, in honour society, and first chair in the top band, [...]

How Personal Is Too Personal?

This may not come as a surprise to those who know me IRL, but I have more than one blog. Let me clarify, I have more than one personal blog.
For nearly 2 years, Mild Insanity has been the place where I vented and raged and laughed and learned. It was fun (and still is). Then [...]

Hello Little Ethiopian Child

I’m dieting. Though it started before 2006 rolled in, this is officially the first day that I haven’t cheated on it.
So, when my sister suggested we stop off at Wendy’s, I politely declined and told her about my diet, to which she responded with a genuine, “Why?”
“Because I’ve gained a lot of weight since [...]
