What to write? Okay, a baby update, I guess

October 6, 2009

Since I woke up today I have been sitting in front of my laptop for the last hour trying to figure out what would be my first post after yesterday’s crazy idea of committing to posting EVERY SINGLE DAY until my delivery date of mid-December. There is no dearth of information in my head but [...]

I’m due for a blog update (I know)

June 29, 2009

4 months since my last post – wow – I am such a bad blogger. I could tell you how I was busy with work, friends, family, etc but the truth is…that…I…just…didn’t…feel…like…writing.

Censorship Lifted (for now)

March 24, 2008

Hurray!! After almost two weeks of not being able to access certain websites (namely ALL blogspot pages) due to blotched censorship (my theory), I am now able to access them again. Now I don’t have to go through anonymous proxies to view all my favorite blogs. Wonder how long this will last before they start censoring [...]

Goodbye Blogger, Hello WordPress

March 20, 2008

I have been having a ton of issues in the last week trying to log on to blogger.com. Now sure if it has to do with the recent block of blogspot blogs by my internet service provider. In any case, I’ve decided to move to publishing my blog via WordPress. Now, all the publishing files [...]

Unblock Secret Dubai!

March 18, 2008

So I have been experiencing a complete shutdown of blogspot blogs in the last few days and last night I wondered if it had to do with Secret Dubai’s blog being blocked. SD’s blog is one that I have been reading since before I moved to Dubai and still continue reading because she tells it [...]
