I hate to admit this, but Keane is my guilty pleasure. And I love covers.

QotD: Take Me Back

If you were told you could relive a moment in your life, which would you choose?
Submitted by Slight Diffusion.

Any moment I got to spend with my mum would be nice since she's no longer in this world. Failing that, I'd love to be back to the time we went on a honeymoon out East. Long drives make me happy. Travelling makes me happy.

Vox Hunt: Gone

nobody@vox.com(Firda) — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 11:19:36 -0500

Show us a photo of something that's gone now.

Mama (1943-2003) (1/6)

My mother's been gone for 3 years, 5 months, and 5 days. I asked Troy's cousin's wife who lost her dad when she was 15, when she started to get used to not having her dad around. She said once she'd lived longer without her dad than she did with him, it got easier. I guess that means I won't get used to not having my mother around until another 26 years. If ever.

What's on your "do before I die" list?
Submitted by Caroline.

Get a permanent residency.

Get a photography-related job.

Get a Canadian citizenship (even though it means giving up my Indonesian citizenship due to stupid Indonesian single citizenship policy)
Buy a house
Travel the world
Have a kid (one would be more than enough, thank you)

Vox Hunt: Can't Wait!

nobody@vox.com(Firda) — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 16:37:01 -0500

Show us someone you can't wait to see.

My nephew Emir

I took care of my nephew when he was a wee little baby, back when I was in Indonesia. I'd dance to songs by the Magnetic Fields while rocking him in my arms. Left him to Canada when he was 2 years old. I haven't seen him again since, though we talk over the phone every now and then. I don't know when I'll see him next. Indonesia is so far, far away. It would cost a fortune to get there from Canada. Unfortunately, we don't currently have that kind of fortune. I guess I'll just have to wait, eh?

Three Months of Silence

nobody@vox.com(Firda) — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 20:59:03 -0500

Antlered!

I wasn't feeling especially festive. Just goofy. Picked up the antlers from a thrift store the other day. Just had to take a picture of myself wearing it.

Anyway, I've been ignoring my Vox for three months! Holy cow! I'm thinking of starting posting here again. Maybe I'll post some music here since it seems to be easier to do here than on my own server. We'll see, though.

Good mango!

nobody@vox.com(Firda) — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 10:20:27 -0400

I just had the best mango I've ever had in the whole northern hemisphere for breakfast. Okay, so I've only had mangoes in two northern hemispherian countries (UK and Canada) but you get the drift. We picked two when we went grocery shopping yesterday. They were $1.49 each and, I think, imported from Mexico. They're of the fiberless variety and taste a lot like my favourite mango variety from Indonesia. Maybe I should go back to the grocery store and pick up more, hmm?

[this is good] for your blog

nobody@vox.com(Firda) — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 12:54:09 -0400

I came up with the idea of adding [this is good] to my Movable Type blog last week since I wasn't getting comments very often. Because I'm such a crappy programmer (read: not a programmer at all), it took me days just to come up with the few lines of javascript for this feature. I use "Fabulous!" instead of [this is good] just because I like the word fabulous. :) Besides, I don't want it to look too much like a Vox rip-off. Heh. Anyway, if you're interested, I've posted an entry on how to add this feature into your blog in my other blog.
