Time for an Update

I haven't been updating this blog for like 2 days now & I feel like it's been forever! Heehe. Geez. Too attached with this would do me no good! Haha :P Truth is, I am just too lazy or too busy, not much inspired as before. Maybe I've lost my touch & inspiration. Where have all it gone? *dreads* But fret not, as long as there something to blogged about, you can count on me being here. Hee xD A lot of things happened these past  few days. I could say the words are just countless.  I wish the time could stopped ticking & wait for me patiently to write each & every stories to tell. That seems too impossible. Ermm....Don't you think? Owh well, oh well... Where shall I begin? Let me begin on Gawai Day (Sarawak's Harvest Festival) which falls on a Sunday, we, my siblings & the cousins went to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Zoo again & on the very same day, a long lost relatives came to visit. The ones I have never met in my entire life. Maybe because the f
Just a quick, short note. 1st of June 2008.

Cheers ;) Another loOong, tiring weekend! Still great though!  Phew! Love, Eudora

Yup, you got that title right! It's the icouldnotlivewithout post.   My,owh my... It's the end of the month already. And...... I am sOooo going to be broke again & again. First, my CPU makes me insane. Few hundreds were blew off just like that. Now my digi-cam is making the same problem. It's nerve wrecking, it's pissing me off! I miss taking pictures with a light weight camera but still in good quality. I am just too lazy to grab that heavy SLR camera around. Plus I have to stocked up some films & develop it after that. *sigh* Will I never stop complaining about it? Hmmm... I am not in the mood for an outing & seriously thinking of considering the fact going somewhere without a camera? Yeah. I won't go anywhere till I get myself a digi-cam! I need one! Not until it has been fix or else I wanna get a new gadget. Aiyoh...The RMWF is getting near too.  This is not a good sign at all. I am hoping for the best before my next trip.  Or perhaps one of my plan

The Philippines With Me (4)

Another backdated post. I came to a realization that I haven't finished posting about my trip last year. I could not really tell the exact location as this was when we were on the way to Tagaytay Highlands. Date : 25 November 2007 Location : Somewhere in the Philippines After the visitation to the Jeepney factory back in Sarao, we headed to the road to Tagaytay. You can read my previous post here . This is the continuation. Our Pinoy driver, told us to try one of the local product. Since it will be few hours till we reached our destination, we stopped by at Colette's.  Just another chain of Colette's you will find selling their famous buko pie. :) Note : Pasalubong is actually something you could bring or give to someone as a gift. Here is what in store for Colette's little corner shop. You could find various kinds of sweet and snacks on the shelves & display on the counter. Everything is nicely packed for everyone to bring home & enjoy. Plus it is locally mad

As I Speak : Sabah's Harvest Festival

It's a holi, holiday!  :) Two days to be exact. And a longer weekend! Yay for that! Only for those living in Sabah, Malaysia though. So okay,  I'm sure people living outside Malaysia wouldn't know this.  Today and tomorrow, the people of my culture, Kadazan-Dusun & Murut , will be celebrating  the Harvest Festival.  In our language, we called it Tadau Kaamatan .   As I type this, it's a Hot, hot day.... But let me tell you.... Here's a snippet about what is Kaamatan. According to the olden days, Kaamatan is believed to be a celebration  to honour the spirits & thank them for giving a bountiful harvest. It is observed when the first full moon is seen after the rice harvest.  Ancient rites of homage to the rice spirit of Bambarayon are still performed by bobolians which is the traditional high priestess. The highlights of the event will be the Magavau , the restoration ceremony & the Unduk Ngadau ( Harvest Queen)  where the selection of the fairest m
