To all you people around the world (so ambitious) we have to apologize for all the goofiness and the naiveness when we started being part of the Blogathon 2003. It is just that we daydreamed about fundraising and there it was Angie, with such creative stuff. Everything we collected in these 24 hours will go straight to Mgbala Agwa Youth Forum, Nigeria.

For my wonderful sister... and the oh so blonde one - to remind them of the time they got lost at Niagara Falls. Blame it on the tourists who can't speak English! Geez! *Shakes my head* hehehe :) Love ya *hugs*

What can I write? Perth is a great place to live. Yes, it can be slow at times... but I think it's all what you put into it that's what you get back. I don't think I've ever been bored here. I love to travel all around the city, Fremantle, Subiaco, Claremont, and the bush. Even if you give the city a miss, you won't be disappointed!
