Sorry for the absence. I took my 7-year old nephew and 9-year old niece to Orlando. They’re visiting from Boston and they’ve never been to Florida. Five parks in five days straight. From opening to park closing time. Think how many park meals and snacks I’ve consumed. It’s not even funny. Allow me to cleanse my system for a day. Or two. I shall be back soon.
I interrupt this program to show you what we had at a friend’s house for dinner: an elaborate, authentic Pakistani meal. The dishes were to. die. for. And all made from scratch the same day. I needed to be carted out of the door after this. There was way too much food. If I remember correctly, there were 12 main dishes (maybe more) for this simple get-together for 8 people. Not including the appetizers, salads, and desserts. Ah, glorious food…
The set-up:
Big thanks to our gracious hosts for having us over. The food was fantastic!
Hi guys, I’m back! After trying to rebuild my iPhoto db three times, I was still left with a corrupted file. I even took my MacBook Pro to the geniuses over at the mall and even they advised that it’s time for me to concede defeat. So I did; and admitted that I’ve lost over a thousand photos 
To cheer myself up, I walked out with the new iLife ‘08 and some other goodies.
But back to regular programming… I want to give a couple of shout-outs to two amazing guys: to JS over at HTM for CDA; and to ACG for giving CDA a new home. Thanks guys!
I’m in the process of migrating to a new web host. And my iPhoto db is still corrupted. Be back in a couple of days. Stay tuned…
My iPhoto db got corrupted so I’m trying to reload my db and recreate my library. Please bear with me. You really don’t want to read reviews without photos, right? Be back in a day or two…
Plans for converting the southern end of the GM plant in Doraville further boosts Asian presence in town. Dubbed the Peachtree Pavillion, there will be 165,000 square feet of retail space with Super H Mart as the anchor store (announced December 2006). The new development is jointly marketed and developed by ACT Investments and JWB Realty.
I am excited as I know there’ll be a bunch of restaurants that are going to call this their new home. Stay tuned.
