This is bound to offend some people but it is pretty funny. My Apologies to those who no do find this funny, but as a person growing up in Sri Lanka and learning 3 languages at the same time while growing up I can really appreciate how hard it is to learn a new language as well as how funny it can be.

Sunset at the wharf, originally uploaded by AbraCadabRa 13.
Sunsets are absolutely beautiful to watch. They pass on such an amazing feeling of serenity that you cant help but feel no matter how busy or hectic your day may be.
I shot this picture at the wharf in Redwood City while waiting for the July 4th fireworks to start. The timing was perfect with two canoeists paddling their canoes right across the reflection of the setting sun.
I hope you all enjoy this picture!
I just got back from watching Wall-E. All in all quite an entertaining movie about some cute robots who develop personalities and fall in love.
For those who have not yet watched the movie, i implore you to go and watch it. It’s cute and funny. I’ve embedded the trailed for you to have a peek at.
[SPOILER - ALERT]
For those who have not seen the movie yet, please do not read past the jump. I’m going to ask some questions that might give some of the story line away!
New York has many many absolutely wonderful sights to keep the first time visitor’s jaw permanently open. Of of these no doubt is the George Washington Bridge.
Having lived right by the bridge for many years I would always make it a point to go to the park overlooking the bridge and gaze down at the hive of activity taking place below me. It always had a very calming effect on me.
Hope you guys enjoy this picture that I took of the G. W. Bridge from the Historic park in Fort Lee, NJ.
On a nice hot day there is nothing quite as refreshing as biting into a juicy slice of watermelon. Depending on my mood I do prefer the seed type. Even though this can drastically reduce the speed at which you can eat your slice it does introduce a certain fun factor into eating a watermelon in a group. The inevitable seed fight.
This is all well and dandy when you’re paying a reasonable amount of money for that melon your furiously munching into, but what if you had just paid $6,100 it. Would you eat it with the same gusto? If it were me I would frame it and store it away in some bank vault. That being said, in the land of the rising sun the watermelon or at least some varieties of it is a prized possession indeed. They are a luxury that indicates status and wealth. This is the story of the black skinned watermelon.
The 17-pound, black-skinned “Densuke” watermelon, a variety grown only on the northern island of Hokkaido, was purchased Friday by a marine products dealer who said he wanted to support local agriculture, according to Kyodo News agency.

Am I crazy? No, Just Sri Lankan. By all means given the heat wave we’ve been having here in the bay area I should be sipping on an ice cold lemonade or an iced milo for those who know what that is [Flashback memories of pillawoos], but no; I have to choose a hot cup of milk tea.
There is something comforting about drinking a hot cup of tea, even on the hottest of days. I really can’t point my finger on it but there is. Just the aroma of tea is enough to get me yearning for a cup. It does not matter what time of day it is.
One of my favorite times of the day was going to the road side ‘cafe’ pillawoose in Sri Lanka at 11.30 or so in the night. Sitting on the steps of the neighboring store and ordering a hot cup of plain tea with ginger or sometimes a slice of lemon in it. Its absolutely wonderful. Why? i don’t know. it just is.
So it seems that I have been tagged by Kanabona

Ahh and the list has ended. I’m sure there are more if i pick my brain enough but the list allows me no more.
Now for the hard part. Who do I TAG. it seems like almost everyone has already been tagged, but let me give it a try.
I know some of you have already been tagged but ohhh well. Cheers!
