A flame about flames…

This last week in my adopted home-state of Victoria has seen vicious fires rip through the areas to the north, northeast and northwest of Melbourne. Entire towns (such as Marysville and Kinglake) have been all but destroyed, leaving little more than a hotel and several houses – and even those are certainly not unscathed. Thousands [...]

holiday snaps pt 1 – War Memorial

Ok, so it says part one, but don’t be fooled: there will be future posts that happened before this. Basically I’m just uploading and posting as I get around to editing the photos and cutting out the dodgier ones. I should probably try to cut them down even more, but there’s just so many I [...]

another festive post

Happy New Years A belated New Years’ salutation (though who is to say that the earth actually completed and started its solar rotation on the 31st of December/1st of January is beyond me, but the arbitrariness of this holiday is a discussion for a different day…), and welcome to the year 2009. I hope you [...]

a quick merry update

Merriest of Christmas tidings to all my avid readers (all of which I’m sure I could probably count on one hand)! Just a quick update and a wish of great, frabjous, holiday achievements. I’m in Canberra at the moment chilling out with friends and family, and I’ve taken quite a few photos. Expect a lengthier [...]

If you’re thirsty, wear a tshirt!

Dehydration is a big problem in the summer months, especially with global warming, low water supplies and the fact that everybody drinks soft-drinks in place of water. How is this a corollary to the wearing of short-sleeved garments, I hear you ask. Well, in high-school one of my best friends coined the saying ‘if you’re [...]

my personal art gallery

Being a nephew or a niece is a big responsibility. Maintaining a relationship with a valuable candy resource is hard enough, but when that resource (in this case, an uncle) lives over 800km away, simple measures like a heartwarming smile become a difficult tool to use. Thankfully, my siblings have raised very resourceful children – [...]

Christmas wishlist for my secret santa

ello lublies… Christmas is nearly here again, and with it comes the heartwarming (and pocket-burning – I think there’s something in that… maybe it warms the heart because the fire in the pocket is so hot?) practice of gift-giving. For those of you who aren’t Ojeda’s or aren’t familiar with the Ojeda family traditions, here’s [...]

my new favourite premix

OK, so maybe it’s not AS good as Smirnoff Ice Double-Blacks, but it IS tequila, it IS 2.0 standard drinks in a bottle (as opposed to 1.9 in a bottle and 2.1 in a can) and it IS quite cheap at like $12-15 for a four-pack. Go forth, drink, and be Mexi.. I mean, Merry. [...]

A Work In Progress – AKA a semestrial journey

Ok so after about 1.35 Bajillion procrastinatings, I’ve finally started knuckling down and making this website worth looking at. This post is basically to kick things off, and to allow me to test out the inner-workings of this site, while I try to get it looking right. But to make this post worth reading, I’ll [...]
