Hazel Chua — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:28:15 +0000

Blasted barnacles! What’s this humongous thing where my arm used to be? I might be more than just a little inspired with all this pirate talk having just watched The Adventures of Tin Tin last night at the cinema. But really, you don’t have to dress like a pirate in order to find some use [...]

Hazel Chua — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 03:24:53 +0000

The snow is falling, and we all know what that means: snowball fights! They’re way more fun if you’re battling people you actually know. I remember when my sisters and I were visiting family overseas and were suddenly pelted by a storm of snowballs from some rowdy kids in the neighborhood. Needless to say, we [...]

If you haven’t had lunch yet, then I don’t think you should continue reading because you will absolutely and positively be drooling over the Pork Chop and Hambone Plush toys.

LEGO Stationery Desk Carousel

Patra Beaulieu — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:06:58 +0000

Did you hear about that 8-ft. Lego Man statue that washed up on Florida’s shore recently? It’s very mysterious, since neither Legoland nor Lego company are taking credit for the stunt. Someone (probably a highly talented geek) had the gumption to fabricate a humongous Lego statue, made to scale then supersized. China has its Terra Cotta Soldiers but the US has [...]
