Ok, so I wasn't really back....

... and I may not be back now.

But I did update this blog's template.

Who knows, I may be back soon.

... though I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm baaaack!

I apologize to my faithful reader -- sorry Dad! -- for not updating this blog more frequently. As most of you (my 6 other readers) know, I took some time off to do some traveling. Things have been moving at dizzying speed since I boarded a plane to London more than four months ago and I left TWS unattended.

But I am back in Hong Kong now, and real life will resume soon. Tapos na ang maliligayang araw ko. The (only) upside (for my Dad, at least) is that is that I plan to update TWS more frequently -- initially with pictures from the trip (some of them can already be viewed by clicking "Gallery" on the top right portion of the page) and later on with the old swill I used to churn out.

It's great to be back. I heart Hong Kong.

Postcard from Slovenia

Lake Bled was postcard pretty! I froze my a** off, but it was well worth it (and the sun eventually came out!) What is going on with this cold front? I thought as long as we keep on traveling south, the weather would warm up -- but cold air seems to be following us south from Vienna, Prague, Budapest and now Ljubljana. But nonetheless, all is going well with the trip. Can't believe we've been away for more than 30 days now. See you all in December!

Status Messages I Wanted to Post on Facebook

Since The Great Flood has turned Facebook into some quasi political message board I have absolutely no interest in...


Jona is....

• very far away.
  
  
• in the Isle of Skye (It's ok, Wikipedia it. There's no shame in that.)
  
  
• in Inverness (yes, where Macbeth's castle is).
  
  
• sipping a half pint and a whiskey (you don't call Scotch "Scotch" in Scotland).
  
  
• going to Berlin on Friday.
  
  
• having the time of her life.

I'm working on it

I accidentally hit the "Save" button when I was tinkering with the Html codes of this blog. So now I have an unwanted new template. Am working on the paragraph breaks to see if anything can be done.

Suggestions/tips on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

My new trainers!

After over 5 years with my old running shoes, I thought I deserved an upgrade!

Because R tagged me! :)
