This video was from last month's Open Forum on our Grad Show at the end of the year. It says 184 Days, but that was obviously back in October. Thanks to Eleni & Ed for coming up with the video. Excuse the slight profanity 1 min into the clip. (Check out another one of their videos here).


Speaking of days and months etc, it's been a year + 1 month since I had to give up a rabbit I bought after having him for only a week. Not sure if I blogged about it at the time, but I had bought the rabbit while my mom was away in Pakistan (because there was no way she would have let me get it if she was here). One thing I didn't know was that I had pet allergies. Severe pet allergies. I decided to keep him in my room since there was no other comfortable and warm place. That's how I started having asthma problems. It got so bad that one night I couldn't breathe if I lay down to sleep, so at 1 in the morning, without telling anyone except my sister I drove to the hospital wheezing & struggling to breathe all the way. They did some tests, prescribed some puffers and I was out two hours later. I looked around for a buyer and sold the rabbit in the next 2-3 days.

I wish my computer had sound so I could listen to this because somehow without hearing anything I just don't get it :S

Anyways, please say hi to Eleni from me - although we're neighbours I never see her anymore!

I thought you knew :S

We used to play Barbies together almost everyday. Then we grew up, stopped playing Barbies, made new friends, etc.. and now we just see each other maybe 3 times a year if we happen to be outside at the same time.

Wow that sounds depressing. I'm tempted to go ring her doorbell now.
