Whoever said that I'm bad at multitasking should be shot in the head. I'm replying to a member from Peru while learning sentence construction using past and present participles in Spanish while listening to Mogwai and blogging! Kick a//!
Decided to work from home today. As usual the weather is gloomy that's why I backed out on the supposed walk along the coast of Craster. Such a pity cos I haven't been there and it'd be nice to be somewhere else away from my room. And my Reebok exercise bike. S and I decided we'd spend the day tomorrow eating crisps, wine and curry.
Although June is still months away, colleagues persuaded me to watch Romeo and Juliet at Theatre Royal and Zakir Hussain and coughed up quid for these "cultural pursuits" I reckon that's more worthwhile than doing CSI Miami marathon.
Oh and one more thing, I've signed up for the Drop the Debt fast and been avoiding telly and alcohol (or did I say carbonated drinks), well whatever, I can live without Coke/vodka so that's easy. But I think I'm cheating on the no telly bit since I'm watching shows over the net? There's always some fine print somewhere you know.
Estamos riendo sobre la traducción de la Avenue Q's "For Now," pero solo por ahora, pero solo por ahora, por ahora tenemos pelo, por ahora tenemos George Bush.. may be entirely wrong
Eso es todo por ahora. Soy excitado para decir a mi familia estoy aprendiendo español. Hasta luego!
Quick blog as always. Title is totally unrelated with the post, just want to post the link to my travel photos in webshot. Some shots of Hexham and Bath trip, more soon.

Spring is coming but it's still cold. It's brighter and you can see lots of sun during the day but don't get fooled, it's 3C outside today :(
Ciao!
Just posted some photos in my long-forgotten webshots account. From our day trips to Hadrian's Wall and St. Nicholas cathedral just around the corner from where I work.

It's getting colder and colder here not to mention the frequent drizzles and howling wind. When I got home last night, I noticed that the cover of our electrical box had gone off and my housemate clearly have no intention of fixing it, bloody Gr. Ela malaka, if you're reading this :)
We're leaving early today (it's just 4pm but it looks like 6 already I barely see the sun). Have I mentioned there's a high rate of suicide in some European countries as the lack or deprivation from light causes depression? Although there's a study from the British Journal of Psychiatry that suicide rates tend to go up during hot weather, and by hot they mean 18C.
Ciao!
-I fell from the stairs last Monday and broke the heel of my boots.
-I got in the wrong train last Tuesday because my colleague and I were so angry over some unethical practices.
-I got my pc installed only yesterday after a month of persistent email exchange.
-Survived the 4 degrees temperature yesterday. I wonder if I'd survive winter, this is just autumn.
-Loving Sainsbury's cooked Indian meals: I've tried lamb rogan josh, chicken jafrezi, and chicken korma, and they're all great. Hail to ready to eat meals!
-I'm hoping to get a new laptop by end of November, a lovely Dell XPSM1330 :)
-Need to force myself to go to the gym and sign up!!
It's official, just now, Glasgow is hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games beating Abuja, Nigeria.
Just how exciting Glasgow is? You can check my previous posts :)
Cheers!

I opened my browser and saw this really cool ad from Firefox.
They're looking for 'agents' to put up 3.5-feet firefox stickers in prominent places, but you gotta have a plan, if chosen you get an Apple Macbook as grand prize. I might try putting it up at the Angel of the North statue but I'm afraid that would result in me being booted out of this wonderful, highly-developed and migrant-friendly nation who have done so much for the world.
This. The Puma Complete Trailfox women performance running shoes that I've been wanting so long that I can't believe I had to fly thousands of miles from home just to get my hands on. I am so walking the 12-mile length of Hadrian's Wall on Sunday, wish me luck!
The view from the bridge was exhilarating and it was very cold and windy I thought it would tilt. It does tilt (so cool!) to make way for the passage of huge ships, it's an architectural feat. Being new to the city, I did lots of consultations with colleagues and checked out Google maps just to be sure I won't get lost, and I didn't.
