Mini pizza fail

Danica — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:30:35 +0000

Some time last week, I was watching TV and a random cooking segment came on. The guy was making various hors de oeuvre/hors d'oeuvre/hors d'œuvre type foods (he called 'em canapés). This particular segment was about mini pizzas. Being a lover of all foods Italiano, I decided to pay close attention to...

The names of some Facebook fan pages are really, REALLY lame; every girl wants a boy like this. - The "qualities" listed are all superficial ones. WHEN HOME ALONE OR THE ONLY ONE UP IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONES IN YOUR HOUSE :S - THAT IS JUST A WEIRD FEELING PEOPLE GET THAT NO ONE EVEN...

Aussie Christmases

Danica — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 07:30:51 +0000

The typical Christmas scene includes chimneys and fireplaces, mugs of hot chocolate, warm gloves, scarves and coats, and the beautiful snow that's so common in the US, the UK and of course, the North Pole. But what most people don't experience is...

Vote for my caption!

The Reason for the Season

Danica — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:00:59 +0000

Santa lives at the North Pole. Jesus is everywhere. Santa rides in a sleigh. Jesus rides on the wind and walks on the water. Santa comes but once a year. Jesus is an ever present help. Santa fills your stockings with goodies. Jesus supplies all of your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited...

I’ve always thought Ursula was one of those ‘evil’ names, like Lucifer

Danica — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 06:55:57 +0000

I just watched The Little Mermaid for the first time EVER. I just found out from IMDb that the movie was released in the US the year I was born, so that movie's been out as long as I've been alive, and I'd never seen it till today. It's the first...

Fads of the Noughties

Danica — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 08:30:45 +0000

I was reading through some news articles on Planet 3 last night and I came across a collection of articles that paid homage to the decade that is soon coming to a close - the Noughties. "Like a penniless drunk with a hefty bar tab, the Noughties are..."

Once upon a time

Danica — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:20:42 +0000

One day, while walking through the forest, I farted while playing my flute, and I discovered I had the ability to hit two musical notes at the exact same time out of opposite ends of my body. After walking for a while, I reached the edge of the forest. I gazed into the distance and saw the enchanted town of Dolphinian where all the pixies were emo and bled pixie dust. The unicorns, however, were drug addicts, shaving their unicorns and sniffing it like...

Unirregular

Danica — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:00:49 +0000

There’s a blog bug goin’ around in GFRESH and it doesn’t seem to have bitten me yet. I’ve been struggling like crazy to formulate a post in which I share all the lessons I’ve learnt from and since SOS camp. But with all the distractions, I haven’t been able to...

Beached whale

Danica — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:00:16 +0000

If you know me, then you'd know that whales are my favourite animal. I have posters of them on my bedroom walls. One of my dreams is to see Blue whales in the Antarctic (Killer whales, not so much. They eat penguins). I went whale watching for my birthday. I have a "Save the whales, eat the Japanese" T-shirt. I'm against whale deaths or anything that prevents them from doing what whales do. Apparently though, people think that getting...

Raised hands, not weapons, win the battles

Danica — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:58:06 +0000

The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands." So Joshua fought the Amalekites...

Countdown

Three has this ‘Planet 3′ mobile web thing that you check from your phone, and a particular section of it allows you to check how much of your cap you’ve already spent. I went to go check it, to see how much of my cap was now gone due to...

Project 365

Danica — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:00:10 +0000

The idea of Project 365, according to Nikki, is to take a photo that encapsulates your day. But the idea of using an image to describe my day to you is a task that I find difficult. I may not be a words person, and pictures may be worth a thousand...

I’m aiming for a HD

Danica — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:00:28 +0000

I'm studying for an exam that's far more important than any other, and while I now know all the theory, I'm finding it hard to actually apply it in order to pass the exam -- which is the application of the theory in my life. Anticipating the final exam is getting me more pumped for...

Pick yourself up! …And God will do the rest

Danica — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:00:38 +0000

If I fall and hurt myself, I'm not going to sit on the ground crying about my pain. I'm not going to complain about my injury, or proclaim to people around me how weak I am. I'm going to want to seek help. If necessary, I will...

Grab that baton and run for your life!

Danica — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 08:00:13 +0000

It's Monday the 24th of August and Day 3 of my fast, and I'm feeling pretty darn good about my weekend. A normal Saturday would have consisted of me sitting in or on my bed checking Facebook, checking emails, reading webcomics and watching a load of Youtube videos. Then, when that was done, I'd sit in front of the TV watching a movie or browsing TV channels while I waited for my piano students to arrive for their lessons...

‘Dad dies just hours before son’s birth’

Danica — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:55:35 +0000

A British man hours away from becoming a new father dropped dead in the maternity ward as his fiancée went into labour. Dave Robertson, 21, was said to be “immensely excited” about the impending arrival when he collapsed suddenly at the...

45 Day Fast

Danica — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 13:58:00 +0000

Associating the number 45 with fasting sounds ridiculous, but who said extending a 40 day fast was wrong? In the Bible, the number 40 is repeated a whole lot, but it is my understanding that in the Hebrew culture, 40 was not always to be...

Welcome to the world, Anastasia!

Danica — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:20:08 +0000

In my opinion, this news is more important than anything happening in my life right now, and I must admit, I’m pretty psyched about welcoming the first GFRESH baby into the world, Anastasia Fuertes. She was born yesterday, August 9th...

In between blogs

Danica — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:30:04 +0000

I set a personal deadline to post a blog by midnight Sunday night, but not only have I been too lazy to post, I'm also still trying to collect my thoughts. I've just come out of a very tough spiritual drought, and I wanted to share my experience with whoever was willing to read. Old habits die hard, so trying to do something that I've told myself to do by...

Siblings

Danica — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 08:58:34 +0000

No, this blog has nothing to do with my siblings. "PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard." It updates every Sunday, and the following is one of this week's secrets. I don't know what to say about it except that I touched me. Here, you'll see...

#sandilandsisadouche – My take

Danica — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:16:14 +0000

If you're an Australian with a radio that picks up 104.1 2DayFM's broadcasts, then surely you have heard all this smack about the Kyle and Jackie O show that involved a 14 year old girl being strapped to a lie detector in the studio and then being asked about her sex life, while her mother looked...

Mobile, cellular and portable

Danica — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:38:20 +0000

I’ve never been one for phones with moving parts that flip or slide, and I’m fond of keypads so touch phones aren’t that appealing. At the moment, I have the Nokia 6300. I’m pretty happy with it, but when I got it as a graduation/Christmas present in...

I was reading a recent blog by heidlesz earlier in which she re-posted an old blog from way back in 2007. This reminded me that I wanted to re-post some of my old Myspace blogs here on WordPress so that they could be, you know...

New BSB single, Straight Through My Heart.

Danica — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:47:23 +0000

I am TOTALLY in love with the Backstreet Boys, and there has been news of them recording a new album. I’ve been following them on Twitter for pretty much as long as I’ve had Twitter (a couple of months?), and every now and then, the BSB Twitter account tweets something about the Boys recording songs [...]

Love Will Keep You Up All Night – Backstreet Boys

Danica — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:00:39 +0000

I won’t tell nobody. I’ll just scream it in my mind. Nothing good in life is scripted. It’s not like we predicted that the one you want is gonna be the one you thought. I won’t tell nobody, but I won’t live like a prisoner. Nothing has to be so perfect. Can you tell me – [...]

Stupid news?

Danica — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:45:01 +0000

I came across this news article today titled ‘Owner of skull urged to come forward’, and a million thoughts went through my mind. The first was that if someone had lost their skull, they should be dead right? Apparently not. A human skull that washed up on a Sydney beach has police looking for its owner, who [...]

Look what I bought today! I was trying to look excited/shocked. Emphasis on the word ‘trying’. Epic fail, Danica. I’ve been wanting this book ever since I saw this video in February. The book’s titled Sunny Side Down and it’s by Lev Yilmaz, the creator of the amazing YouTube video series, Tales of Mere Existence. Ha, I know. [...]

Yeap, you've guessed it. I watched Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen today, and in short, it was FREAKIN' AWESOME. I'm not really sure how to describe how amazing it was. I remember when I watched the first movie, I wrote a blog on...

State of Origin, Game 2, 2009

A bunch of us went to watch the game. Paid $50 for crappy/awesome seats way up back where we could see ALL the action. If we paid an extra $10, we would've also got a jersey, a wig and a banner thingy to wave around. Also, the number of steps...

I before E

Danica — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:31:50 +0000

Read this first: British government spells end of 'i before e' rule. This is absolutely ridiculous. The reason why it's "not worth teaching" the 'i before e' rule is because that's all that people teach these days. The complete rule is: 'Where there is a long...

A little something about the label that was bestowed upon me following my departure from the womb*

I looked at my blog calendar last night and noticed that I hadn't blogged in 2 weeks! That's horrible! So I promised myself I'd make an attempt - even if it's lousy - at writing a blog today. I looked at the clock and realised that it was 11:59pm, so I...
