As you can see, this blog has been moved to a new name and location. A while back, the original hamster-central blog was hacked and malicious malware was embedded in various files throughout the site. It got so bad that several search engines and security sites flagged hamster-central.com as a malicious site and blacklisted it. In fact, it was so bad that the web hosting company I used gave us a warning that our site will be shut down soon due to the critical issues it had from being hacked. I tried fixing it but it was beyond what I knew what to do andRead More →

I just realized that today is my blog’s 9th anniversary… Happy bloggerversary, Hamster Central! Unlike previous years, this year’s anniversary will be a bit low key since I haven’t been feeling well lately. I haven’t been sleeping well at nights and have also been breaking out in hives for no apparent reason for a week and a half now. These two things have been adding up making it impossible for me to concentrate and do things without feeling tired during the day. I’m hoping a trip to the doctor’s office will shine some light as to what is wrong with me. I’m hoping everyone hasRead More →

Last week, we were watching a news story about an international bread contest where the Japanese beat the French for the grand prize (which apparently is a big deal). Anyway, I offhandedly asked Jason if France was famous for it’s bread. Me: I’m guessing France is known for their bread? Jason: Don’t you remember about my comment about France? M: *stares blankly for a moment* Ah, the baguettes! J: You remember right? M: Yea, you said something about the baguettes in France. Something about how you’ll eat only their baguettes. J: Hehe, yup. M: What was the conversation again? Oh yea, I think I bloggedRead More →

Well now, it looks like my secret wasn’t so much a secret huh? I should have known better than to try to fool my smart blog friends and family 🙂 I’d like you guys to meet 2nd child. Yea, were not good at making up nicknames so we’re just sticking with calling him/her “2nd child” for now. I’m currently at about 6 weeks, which is still pretty early in the pregnancy. According to the doctor, the baby is still too small for her to see a heartbeat but from the look of things, 2nd child is doing well. Due date is estimated to be OctoberRead More →

Do you know that feeling when you cross the finish line after a long marathon? No? Me either since I’ve never ran enough to be able to survive a marathon. Still, I feel like I just completed one in the blogging world. Today is November 30th and also the last day of NaBloPoMo! *cue happy dancing* It’s been one long month of blogging and though for the most part it wasn’t as painful as I had imagined, there were days when I had wanted to just quit. Except I didn’t and now I can pat myself on the back for a job well done 🙂Read More →

Pretty, pretty please. If you ever, ever feel Like you’re nothing You are perfect to me. – from “Perfect (clean version)” by Pink I sometimes think like a perfectionist but I’m very flawed. I am very OCD about being punctual and get irritated when others are late even when I tell them it’s okay. I have panic attacks when I’m late. I have a certain way of doing things and get annoyed when other people don’t do it the same way. I am very stubborn. I like to clean but complain about having to do it when no one notices the difference. I complain aboutRead More →

This semester is going to be an interesting one. Probably going to be a stressful one too since it’s been a while since I’ve made “art.” For a few weeks now, I’ve been planning on taking a beginning painting class. In fact, I was all signed up and ready to go. I mean, how hard can it be to take a painting class, right? Then, I started thinking about whether or not it was a good decision to take the class. I have been debating between this class and a senior level class called “Art Seminar” all summer long. Both are classes I need toRead More →
