Ebay mistake....

Have you ever been in the situation that after selling off several books on Ebay, you won't regret it? Well, even though it has been years since I sold the Hardy Boys Casefiles series, now, I'm plagued why did I ever did especially the first three casefiles.  Dead On Target (#1), Evil Inc (#2), Cult of Crime #3 and a couple of my  favorites like Brother Against Brother (#11) and Double Exposure (#22). *sigh*

"Welcome to Haven"

Credit haven.fansites.org

A man who plays music to make his wife sane, a boy whose dreams harm people he thinks are out to break his new family, a man who commands his shadow to kill the people connected to his wife’s death - all have one thing in common. They are all residents of Haven, Maine.

Haven swirls in the supernatural world and is a new TV series presented by SyFy channel, loosely based around Stephen King’s, “Colorado Kid.” 

What can “Haven” offer to a well-trodden niche that shares its genre with “Supernatural,” “X-Files,” and “Charmed” and “Buffy?” The scenic harbor town wasn’t viewed as dark but light and airy with its mysteriousness roiling underneath the sleepy town.

Computer Problems and other things....

My friend's Orchards

Getting back on here after contending with computer problems and a slew of work- related issues  prevented me from checking on blogs here. *grinz*  Oh, then Farmville unleashed sheep breeding, pig breeding, English Country Farm, and orchards.  *smile*

Rainbow Tree and Giant Heart Tree

I've been trying to order my trees like my friend's, so far I've accomplished halfway of ordering my home farm. I love the trees.

The Rainbow Tree, the Giant Heart Tree and a glimpse of Farmville's Stonehenge is from the English Country Farm and yes, you have the option of having simultaneous farms growing or decide to pause  whichever farm you want to work on first. 

Remember Prince Will and Kate's Wedding? Well, Farmville wasn't behind and released beautiful trees in connection of the occasion and one quest too. I've already deleted the wedding tent to make room for Lady Gaga's album launch but I saved the trees.

Two Wedding Trees, English Roses, Pink Carnations, The Royal Tree (the yellow one), a Cream Draft Horse, a smithy's place. I think that's a Juniper tree (near the stone bench), the trunk of the Giant Mardi Gras Tree,  Key Lime Trees, some more of Stonehenge, the Knights' Round Table hidden behind the trees, and the moat.

The Trees after harvest. You just see the Knights' round table, more of the smithy's place, Aster flower beds, the crown of the Giant Golden Apple Trees, and the Giant Lucky Cookie Tree. I'll have to get a picture of that one next. 

Fringe Season 3: Episode 1 "Olivia"

Brief Recap: The mission to retrieve Peter goes awry the moment Walter, Olivia and three of the Cortexiphan subjects arrived in the alternate universe. One Cortexiphan subject died upon arrival while the other two died using themselves as a distraction to prevent Olivia and Walter from being caught by the alternative Fringe team. By the eleventh hour, Olivia was captured. Fauxlivia took her place as she joined Peter, Walter back to our universe and William Bell disappeared in a massive bright light.

Spoiler Alert for those who haven't seen it. 

Covert Affairs brings "The Green Screen Challenge"

Last month, from Chris_Gorham's tweets, "If you're not following me on Twitter you're missing out on a fun little challenge! Take this pic, replace the green background and then tweet your doctored pic to the Covert Affairs Twitter feed (@CovertAffairs). Our favorite (Me, Piper and Sendhil) will earn some cool Covert Affairs swag!" 

Everyone had until Friday to submit their entries. I would have wanted to send one if I haven't forgotten what meager PS skills I learned a couple years back  and I haven't formally gotten back to Photoshop too. *sigh* Make time will ya. 


The second runner up entry. I thought was good in simplistic, clean presentation. 
The first runner up entry.  Made me smile. 
The winner. Was hilarious. 


I hope I'll be able to think of something funny for the next (maybe) Green Screen Challenge this June. ☺ I wonder if they'll permit an overseas participant or I'll send my friend's address instead and have whatever Covert Affairs swag her way. 

The Rise and Fall of caring Petunia...

Still very much have the neophyte greenthumb tacked over the little potted gardening I've started at home as another potted petunia starts to get sick.

I see these white stuff clinging stem and leaves. Aphids? Anyway, went to Mr. Google and found this article.  Trial and error, I go. 
White Aphids

What's the one thing I would look forward this weekend?

Last week (Friday and Saturday) I found some proper time to take a leave from work and I wish I can do it this Saturday. Oh, we'll see. Even an afternoon off will do wonders. 

So what I'm looking forward this Saturday around? I'll definitely visit the mall  since when I was there with my friend, we spent our time inside the cinemas and watched two movies back-to-back. which didn't leave anything in between more except visit the record bar to check out what CDs were on sale and before we knew it, we had to leave for home.

I wanted to check out her favorite book author as I'm planning to buy a book for her birthday which is just next month!

Dropping by the local garden center would be great and I think there's a  flower garden show held in the campus but I loathe traffic. So the campus visit it out  that leaves me to check out the badminton courts and see how much they charge for non-members. 

How about you? What are your plans for the weekend?  I wish we had two Saturdays.
