Be still my heart, something’s in my drawer

January 31, 2009

A colleague of mine announced last week that he’ll be transferred to another city. Two years into this company, I haven’t come across any other employee who is as hard working and dedicated as he is. If you’re living and working in Dubai, you know what I mean. He must be the only guy who [...]

I finally got my much awaited pair of Lee Jeans I won through Leanne’s Lee Jeans blog contest a few days back. I wasted no time ripping through the package and tried it on. Just wow. Lee Jeans is no nonsense jeans – the one pair that I can truly say fits me, accepted all [...]

A story everyone should know

October 26, 2008

This gave me the chills and tears this morning. Take the time to read it, it’s Sunday. I think the perfect day of the week to be inspired. Speaking of stories, I had a great time reading the ghost-themed stories over at Scribbit’s October Write Away contest. Spook yourself!  (Actually, the entries are not all [...]
