AiyoyoCopyright of: Paris Beaverbanks I took a look through the last few posts I wrote here which have been sporadic and I could not help noticing how I’d only write here when I was pissed over something. So not auspicious! So I’ll try to NOT whinge and whine so much – I get sick of myself [...]

Hop Skip and JumpCopyright of: Paris Beaverbanks Isn’t everyone getting ants in their pants? Everyone’s so jumpy now that September 16 is looming (even if its just a hypothetical date) that they have decided to bundle off all potential kerropi to Taiwan to study agriculture.

Beijing Olympics fireworks faked or simulated?Copyright of: Paris Beaverbanks And is it a bad thing if it was? I opened up my browser to Yahoo after lunch to read that China had “faked” some fireworks at the opening ceremony of the Olympics. My first thought was “How typical of China” But then, when I read the [...]

So Frugalicious!

So Frugalicious!Copyright of: Paris Beaverbanks I was reading the Giddy Tigress’ tips for being frugal and found myself agreeing whole heartedly with her tips. Well, except for the cloth menstrual pads bit. I’m unfortunately going to have to continue spending hardearned money on that bit of luxury in my life! So what do you reckon Paris B’s [...]

Growing older means…

For me, when I heard about the new movie Journey to the Centre of The Earth starring Brendan Fraser, my first mental image was of this:- Brendan Fraser in Encino Man [...]

Wrong! Looks DO matter!

Wrong! Looks DO matter!Copyright of: Paris Beaverbanks If anyone ever told you that looks don’t matter, laugh in their face and tell them its a load of crock. For, looks DO matter. Even lamp posts are getting in on the act. Not satisfied with the minimalist spartan look with smooth clean lines of the traditional street lamp post, [...]

A Pluto by any other nameCopyright of: Paris Beaverbanks Picture a kid’s playground with a bunch of kids playing in it. On the fringe of the 8 kids in the playground stands a small little boy, eager to be noticed and to be let in on the game. After a long while, someone notices his [...]
