What A Little Birthday Bum!

In which I give my customary yearly blog post!

After months of negligence, I cannot come up with enough excuses to cover up my absence on the blogosphere. But one ritual every year, for the past few years, is to give a Birthday Blog Post :)

So a year older and still as immature and silly as ever! :)
With a day filled with Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffins, chocolate cupcakes, Chinese food, massive cookies and the traditional (triple-flavoured) slushie, it was a sweet birthday indeed (as always!)!
And not to forget the scrumtilidumptious cake! Apparently in an attempt to  surprise me (which they did!), my family plotted to have a beautiful, heavenly-tasting Red Velvet Cake with 'Happy Birthday' icing, delivered right to my doorstep!
It was simply marvelous - a cake that I will taste many a time in my fond recollections of this day.
Getting lost in massive, endlessly winding libraries, getting drowsy in overstuffed armchairs with a book in my lap, exploring the streets and cuisine, taking pictures and writing at cafes, watching football and movies, and best of all - ALL THE POTTER! - yes, what a lovely day.

And all the wishes, calls, emails, voice mails and online messages - made my day warmer :)
Thank you!

I love doing these posts at the end of my birthday - as I reflect upon the day, remember the previous ones and look forward to a better and brighter year.
Thank you for staying by me and reading till the end.
I hope you had a great day too.
Remember when you earn some cake, eat it too!
Or stuff half of it in a miniature fridge and eat it endlessly, ecstatically, euphorically lost in its unbelievable delicious-ness for an entire week, like I will! :)



[P.S. I'm working on my blog revamp - on some level of consiousness!]
[P.S. (2) That cake is so amazing it should eat itself - but I'll probably do that before it can even try!]

Another little Update

I've realised why I haven't spent much time on my blog, lately.
It's been stagnating - the same dreary text, overly dark colour palatte and the occassional un-funny pictures.

So, I'm going to revamp. Yes! Let's have that again, in lights!
REVAMP!

Starting July, I'm going to be tearing out the wallpaper, working from scratch - painting up the blog with personality - creating the framework with my very own HTML tags and GIMP fiddling skills.

I'm going to be more quirky, less preachy.
And I'm going to do some shameless blog/self-promotion, to make stuff engaging.

Anyhooo... that's all I wanted to say.

And that I was one of the first persons to hear about Pottermore - just for the record.

Look! It's Me, Again.

I've been missing in the blogosphere for the past 5 months.
Of course you didn't notice - I didn't expect you too.
But if you did, I'm flattered.

Why have I been hiding under my desk, you ask?
No, it's not because of the supposed rapture.
After two years of soul-sucking, dreary, high school work, I've put my IB diploma days behind me. And got out alive.
The endless coursework and exams meant no time for moments of frivolous blogging.

But now, I'm back. Here to stay.
Will post something substantial in a bit.
How have you been?
