Hi guys!

How have you been?

Good?
Great?
Absolutely marvelous?

Haha

And how bout your Valentine?
How did you spend it? :)


How did I spend it?

Well,
I went to a great seafood place with my family!

Ah~
Great food,
lovely ambience,
and dining with the people I love,

I think it went pretty well. :)


So, since last week,
basically what I've been doing is,
mostly studying.

So borrring,
so I shan't venture further into that.

However,
for the Valentine's Day post,
you can see that there were many pictures of bears!

Haha yeah,
that's what I meant by bear photography.
[Remember that post?]

Sounded pretty exciting right?
You guys didn't think that I would have,
the honour of photographing REAL bears, did you?

[Aww.. Aren't they just the sweethearts?]

And how about the song?
Pardon me, it's a little too loud.

But Yours Truly here isn't that IT savvy enough,
to figure out the volume meter on that thing. :S

I'll leave it there for a week or so.
And it's a cover done by Brittney,
of By Chance [You and I] by J.R.A.

Check out the original!
It sounds great too! :D

[Psst! You can click the names and 'original'! Just saying people, just saying.]


Lastly, before I go,
the most interesting thing since Feb 14,
was the long, white pavement,
covered with blackish bees near my house.

It happened like a day ago,
and these things don't happen okay?
It's hard to find animals at all,

[which is why on my cycling trips,
I raise an eyebrow at
wild chickens,
definitely wondering where they popped out from.
BUT ANYWAY,
]

to see so many dead bees,
yeah, it was THAT MANY.

And it just reminded me of one time,
where my house was invaded by bees...
AND.I.WAS.ALONE.

Yes,
I was stuck in my room,
with at least fifty bees flying around like nobody's business.


So yeah,
what can a girl do but catch them herself?
[Note: I KNOW all of you were thinking 'scream',
but mind you, if I did,
I would probably have at least two fly into my mouth.
]

Sidetracking a little,
I was trying to find images of bees,
and found this.

ADORABLE, I KNOW. :D

Okay okay,
back to the story.
So I rolled up my sleeves,
got a little container,
and started catching them one by one.

I ran like three trips downstairs,
threw them onto the rose bushes,
and ran up again,

before realising that more were flying back in through the window.

..Yupp,
not very smart, am I.

So I closed the windows,
repeated the process another five or six times,

..And the next day I got stung in the bathroom.

So much for gratitude. : /


And a bee post wouldn't be a bee post without..


..TRUFFLE IN A BUMBLE BEE SUIT!!!
[Ignore the messy room.]


..Now that I think about it,
after mentioning this story,
you guys are probably thinking that there are lots of animals here..

Not true okay, not true!
We probably have a high count in dogs,
because almost every house has a dog,
and that's ALOT of houses.

But those don't count!!



..I'm contradicting myself again.. Aren't I? -__-
