no free connection?
news came that after arriving from sydney, we will be relocated to a hotel where there will be no free internet access. and i should care because, i'm planning to buy my own laptop so i could write all my travel stories right after they happen. nobody wants to read a travelogue that is written almost always after a week they happened , right? and i don't to write about it after a week as well.

a chat with god online
last night, after hearing a disappointing news about work, i felt sad again. wanting some consolation, i turned to the internet. i tried searching for a site that would give random bible passages that would serve like "God's message for you today" but found non. typing in some words i ended up with "chat with God". then first on the list came iGod: Artificial Intelligence Chat. though at the second line it reads Funny Artificial Intelligence chat in a Flash interface. Jokes. Repenting made easy. i gave it a try anyway.
the conversation went something like this:
Me: Good evening, God
God: Thanks for the compliment. who are we talking about here?
Me: about me
God: i haven't heard about that. what is it about you?
i know it was all just a game. some pre-programmed sentences to be delivered for something that you write on. but the chat feels good, especially when it referred to me, so i continued anyway.
Me: i'm sad
God: can you tell me what makes you sad
Me: because of my present employer
oh i forgot how the conversation actually went. but it felt good until reality bit that it was all just AI. but i would try it again someday. when depression attacks. hoping that maybe God will use that to really communicate with me =D

second time in sydney
oh that's me! wandering around sydney. this picture..my second time to be there. look, there's the famous opera house behind me. chris says the architect of the famous building was excommunicated from australia! talk about gratitude, huh.
anyway, the first time i was there, i didn't appreciate the city at all. i found it so boring with most [if not all] of the stores were close as early as 16:00! but when i returned to sydney this month, i totally loved it. i went around the city by train and i got back at the hotel around 23:25. it was such an exhausting day, but it was fun. i saw a lot of sydney but i'm going back to see more. i haven't cuddled a koala yet, and i haven't been to the local grocery store to shop for anything i can bring back home yet. so, those two will probably be my priorities when i get back. can't wait to go back.
what's hapening with blogskins
tonight i tried changing my blog's appearance by downloading some from blogskins.com. unfortunately they all have something wrong in their tags. what's up with them?!? quite impossible for ALL of them to have similar tag errors.
i'm getting frustrated. i want my blog to look white simple and..dreamy and girly. things that associate with the foreign girl.
it's quite late in the night right now. i'd have to sleep already. goodnight!

first online
the foreign girl is online.
i wanted to retain my name "the foreign girl" for the blog's url but it turned out the name's already taken. gosh,oh how it was so hard picking a url for my blog. i have been so attached to my title i really didn't want to give it up so easily. tried typing "foreign girl" but it was taken as well. i considered having thegirlisforeign.blogspot.com but it just didn't feel right. so i settled for theforeigngirlonline.blogspot.com. quite long, huh? but i guess that would explain this whole thing anyway.
