Last Sunday was exactly 10 years since my boss registered his company, Japak Packing & Mailing (site made by me), with the Chamber of Commerce.

I saw this movie some time ago on late night TV. Although I did get some parts of the film, I must admit that most of the meaning was completely lost on me. The fact that it’s a very, very, very slow film didn’t help a lot either. I really had to push myself to […]

To smoke or not to smoke… That’s the question! Well of course the answer is, not to smoke. Unfortunately after having smoked for over 5 years, it’s not so easy to quit. I never really had any will power to stop smoking before and thus never gave it a try. But last week, when my […]
