Purchasing My First Property!

This afternoon I finally signed all the house papers with the notary! I’m now officially a homeowner and a landlord…

How to Get a Free Dinner…AND Lunch

I’m constantly amazed at how quickly time flies!! I can’t believe it’s almost the end of May already! Anyhow, here’s another story from my latest trip to Toronto…

We went out for dinner to East Side Mario’s for my cousin’s birthday. Very long story short (no exaggeration whatsoever): the service was the worst I’d ever [...]

Cover of "More than Words" by Extreme

It has come to my attention that it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted any music I’ve recorded. Now that I’m back in Montreal, I’ve slowly been getting reacquainted with my music “studio”.

Although it’s an old song, 1991 I believe, I first heard it just a couple of years ago when I [...]

Thanksgiving Weekend – Count Your Blessings

Showing Affection to Your Family

Alright, so I have to ask, because I’m trying to figure out if this is a cultural thing, or if my family is weird (and I/we should “fix” it somehow).

I never hug my family members unless it’s a special occasion (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) or they’re going on a trip. I’m not even sure [...]

On October 14th, 2006 my little cousin was born.

I only got pictures this weekend, so please join me in welcoming Thomas Ragavan Misha Eddleston to the world! Yes, the name is a mouthful. I’m just going to call him Tom or whatever nickname I manage to come up with in the next little [...]

Garden Reception @ The Eddlestons'

The garden party this weekend (June 24th) was our chance to meet Michael’s family and this was the reason for us coming to Edinburgh. It was nice to meet M’s family, they’re all fantastic people! The only downside was that the crowd was slightly older… Besides my sisters (and some of the caterers) [...]

SkypeOut Offers Free Calls to North America!?

I refused to jump onto the Skype wagon even when I heard about it over a year ago. However, while finishing up some research for my VoIP Project I came across this article:

Needless to say, I’m downloading Skype as I’m [...]

Baby Aunty's Funeral

*Transcribed*

We reached London just in time. By the time we got through traffic and arrived at the house, we had to leave to the funeral within 10 minutes. Jacob and I quickly put out suits on and set out.

When we got to the parlor we saw Baby Aunty’s body in a [...]
