belated mp3...

A long time ago (I think last month ^^;) I said that I'll upload 'Ultra Relax.' Hee, hee...it's a month late, but here it is. Due to the limited memory of wonderful geocities (and financially low me,) I had to take down 3 other mp3s...but that doesn't matter. ^-^ *starts dancing kodocha style...in my head* ^^;

Plans?

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve...are we doing anything? Anything is fine...just as long as we're inside most of the time and we get to watch the 'ball drop' on tv. Ooo, of course, we must have food and ice cream. ^-^ Drinks are good too...as long as there are non-alcoholic H2O for me.... ^.^ Okay, enough thinking about food...I'm getting hungry. *stares at to do list* I need to finish some stuff, than I might have some end-of-the-year instant noodles. ^^;

A series of unfortunate events...or...stuff that just happens ^^;

Last night was hell. First, I had to pick up my cellphone charger that I forgot at P-chan's. P-chan went to Chinatown so I didn't have to travel to Queens...thx, girl! ^.^ Next the train that I was on stopped quarter-way on the Island, because another train had a fire ahead of us. After the conductors announced that the pyro-matic train has melted on the tracks, buses were scheduled to come to the rescue. Understanding that the buses would take too long, I happily discovered another train that was going in my direction (but on another track) was going to stop at the present station. Hopping on that train, I was soon on my way home. Or so I thought. At the front door, my mother and I discovered that we both left our keys in the house (me, because I lost it inside the house the day before, my mother since she forgot it on the table.) Calling the 24 hour locksmiths in my area was useless, since 24 hours means 'when they are next to the phones.' <.< Finally, we went to my mother's friend's house and slept over until the morning.

This morning I contact the main office of our apartments and got someone to bring us a spare key to the house. (No charge. ^-^) Got to the office late (1pm) because I needed a shower and food. Now I'm cleaner and more awake than before. Now I have my house key...and I'm too tired to think anymore.

'A man and a yellow pepper...Iron Chef!' ^.^

Kakkoi ne.... After my nap on the train, I proceeded to unwrapped Alby's gifts. (Too excited, couldn't wait until I got home. ^^;) They are so sweet and thoughftul...(not that I'm insinuating that anyone else's gifts are not.... ^^;) I opened the presents in size order: from small to the large. The first one was a roller pen and pencil set engraved with Alby's well wishings. (Alby...your middle initial is 'S'... Ano...is it for 'sheep?' I think one of your chinese characters is 'sheep'.... *ducks from flying pillows* ^^;) The second gift caught me by surprise: while I was unwrapping it (slowly as usual) the paper ripped in the middle and my first glance of the item was a picture of a man holding a yellow pepper.... "Iron Chef!" *big grin* I laughed aloud...which might have startled the other passengers. ^^; It's a book about the background info of the shows of Iron Chef as well as comments by the commentators and even Chairman Kaga. ^_^ Too funny.... The third package revealed a notebook with unlined pages: perfect for doodling and writing. I was looking for a book like this...howdja know? So perfect...the cover is black too: matches the pen/pencil set and me. ^.^ The last item was the FFX-2 walkthrough that I asked for on my wishlist. ^-^ Yay! Now I won't get lost when I start to play FFX-2! (lol All I have to do is finish Kingdom Hearts...almost there! ^-^;)

Arigato, Alby-kun! You're the best! *double hugs* ^-^ You guys are too nice to me.... Next time when I cook, I'll try to make more edible stuff for you to taste. (I dunno if thats a good thing or not.... ^.^)

3:15 pm ~ Status: choco-elated...and sleepy ^-^

Walking is good for you.... ^^;

Last night, I ended up in Queens to have a post-holiday getogether with friends. Since Jenn-chan was on a 'date,' Alby was at a family b-day thing and Pearlly was ill, P-chan happily walked 30 minutes so we can have dinner and dessert. After dinner at the nearby Korean restaurant, we ended up walking to 'Sweet Adele,' a dessert/bubble tea store who I found out belonged to my parent's friends (whose daughters made my life living hell over 10 years ago. ^^;) The owners were nice and it was a nice surprise to see them (can't say the same if I saw their daughters.... Bitter much? ^^;) After picking up bubble tea and ice cream, P-chan and I braved the cold and walked to the nearest bus stop-many blocks away-and hopped on the next bus (45 min. later) back to her house. Needless to say, we didn't want to move anymore after that. It was pretty good exercise, considering all the yummy Korean sidedishes I had. ^-^

My place of residence for the evening was at P-chan's, after she convinced her father that buses failed to operate at all at that time. ^-^ Domo, P-chan!

Where is the carriage again? Didn't we win already? and Wasn't that the last stage?!?

To conclude the evening, me and P-chan decided to play Dynasty Warriors 4: a game that demonstrated my lack in sense of direction as well as ability to stay alive. ^^; Highlights of the evening gaming include replaying a level where the final villian was a no-show and looking for buns and carriages in who-knows-where.... It was both hilarious and tireding. At 5AM, we decided to call it quits after fighting through 3 stages which we thought were the last stages but never reached the end of the game.... After the save and a breather, we both slept like logs...until 4 hours later.

Alby's car service: If you survive the ride, he'll get you there on time! ^.^

lol Amazingly, P-chan and I woke around 9am. After breakfast, Alby drove us to the LIRR station so I can get to work. (BTW, Alby, you don't owe me a quarter anymore.... *grins* ^-^) Oh yeah, Alby gave me his Christmas presents...which comprise of 4 boxes. O.O I haven't had time to open them yet. The card in itself was adorable. Domo arigato, Alby! ^.^ (More updates on the gifts later.)

Right now, I'm ultra sleepy and kinda achy. Hee, hee...playing video games is hard work.... ^^;

"One bedsheet, a piece of rope and we're good to go...."

I have nothing profound to say today. (As if I should I have something profound to say at all. ^^;) Instead, I will list my doings of today...as usual. ^.^ Lessee..first I ended up at the dress rehersal of our church's musical skit (kinda like 'Baby Jesus on broadway!') Yours truly was the costume designer for all the outfits. I even drew up the designs and style of each character. *beams happily* ^__^ They were just the usual big head, tiny nose, no mouths, chibi style that I usually draw. (My art only extends so far.... ^^;) It was fun: I was like the costume director, running around with cloth/bedsheets and pins and ropes. The performance itself was mediocre:I played the violin through the pieces and my part was fairly easy. I won't even bother rating my own show...since it's the story thats important, regardless of how soft our singers are and how I messed up in the first song. ^^;

"Who is playing with my hair?'"

Afterwards was the hotpot. We had 4 pots boiling everything from veggies to oysters. Yummy.... ^.^ We even had cake...but not to boil. ^^; At some point in time, I went around the table to get some soup (from the pot.) As I was ladling soup, I realized that someone was touching my hair...and you know how I feel about my hair. *.* I exclaimed, "Who is playing with my hair?" The person behind me replied "I'm getting your hair out of my plate." The plate in question was situated next to me. I guess my long hair is also hungry. ^^;

Kawaii!!! *squeal*

Lessee...what I got this year.... Well, my parents gave me my GW DVD set for my b-day/Christmas present. (I'm watching disc 5 tonight. ^.^) Pearl-chan gave me Gravitation and Gundam Seed DVDs (including my b-day.) (Bishies galore.... O.O *drool*) Both mothers of two friends gave me scarves. Perhaps they think I'm always cold.... ^^; Church friends gave me a beaded purse, a cross necklace, a gift certificate and a cutie Eeyore plush from the Disney cutie series. *ultra kawaii* ^-^ She also gave me the matching towel and washcloth set. ^.^ Too adorable for words.... *starts squealing instead*

Okay, now that the updates are done, I need to prepare myself to watch Quatre go insane in disc 5.... Poor Quatre.... *drags cutie Eeyore to the tv* Ja!

Happy Holidays, minna-san!

Do you have the number?

Internet was down at the office yesterday, so I couldn't do much in updates. ^.^ The biggest part of yesterday was me not having my cellphone. Without that vital piece of technology, I was cut off from the world...or at least my ride, o-kaa-san. I spent a good part of the day thinking 'What is her number?' ^^; Alby no baka! I contacted Alby's house first and he answered. I was looking for his mother (since she would have my mother's number, but she was asleep. I asked to go over, but he said (and I paraphrase) 'I'm leaving now. Someone is outside waiting for me.' So I asked for P-chan's number. After he gave it to me and we hung up, I called P-chan. Guess where she was? With Alby! O.O Aiya...why are men so single minded? Alby could've said, 'Oh, you're looking for P-chan? She is right here.... Want to talk to her?' Usually that would've been the case, but I guess the prospect of last minute Christmas shopping clouded his mind. lol But that doesn't mean he gets off the hook! Alby, you owe me a Texas quarter! ^.^ (His mother is so nice...she bought me the booklet where I can place all 50 quarters...once I get them. ^.^) Eventually, I went to an insurance office where I worked before and used their phone to contact my mother. After I located her, we went off to complete the next part of my mission: delivering gifts.

Ho ho ho...*yawn* ^O^

As some of you know (or maybe not) I went around delivering the first batch of presents. Jenn-chan, your gift is at Alby's house. I called your house, your bro answered. Since you weren't home, I dropped it off at Alby's. ^-^ Due to allergic reactions, Pearl-chan's gift has to be replaced...give me some time. Maybe until chinese new year? ^^; Hopefully not...perhaps in time for someone's b-day on the 17th.... Hee, hee....

10th episode, he died!

I watched disc 2 yesterday of GW...so sad. He died within the first 10 episodes.... Hee, hee...almost died. I can't wait to finish some work so I can take my lunch break and start watching disc 3. ^.^

Oh yeah, I got permission to work from home today. *grins* I can get to the office no problem (as seen from yesterday,) but I wasn't totally thrilled with the commute home. Rush hour is always crowded and as expected (lack of subways and stuff) the chaos of Penn. station increased about 50% (I'm only estimating here. ^^;) There is nothing extraordinary about the masses...but fighting through them to get to my train isn't exactly easy. (Not to mention all the old ladies I had to push through in order to get to a seat. hee, hee...j/k ^^;) I'm just happy that I can stay home today and make calls from my nice warm bed. ^.^

I put up a GW wma today since I'm watching GW.

I'm just too lazy to do it right now. (Not to mention I need to get stuff done so I can get home a decent hour...I hope. *stares out the window*)

Pokemon is bad for you! ^.^

How can such delightfully kawaii creatures in another world be bad? Oh, they're referring to the cancer causing genetic material, pokemon.... O.O Article here. Who says anime can't be scientific? ^.^ All in the name of research...but Pokemon USA wasn't thrilled with their top show getting such a bad rep. Anime company retaliates! Result: cancerous name changes to something else. ^^;(I wonder, how does Pokemon Japan feel? Afterall, it's their anime. Maybe they're not insulted since their original title is 'Pocket Monsters.' I dunno.... ^^;)

Good news...

I watched the first GW dvd today...Quatre...Duo...kawaii.... ^.^ First disc = 5 episodes I totally love ep.4 when Quatre and Trowa play violin and flute together. *-* Not to mention when Quatre surrenders and than Trowa comes out with his hands up. OTP!!! (aka. One True Pairing ^.^) Two funny moments was when Duo and Heero were together and Heero fixed his suit...with parts from Duo's suit. ^^; Of course, who can forget Heero setting his own bone back in place. Owwwie... >.<; lol.... Everytime I see this, it gets better and better.... ^.^

Finished reading FMA: The Land of Sand. It was totally funny. Quite different from the original series...but the differences were good (not better, just a nice twist. ^.^) I totally loved what they did with the side story, "Phantom of Warehouse 13." It's from the crack episode 37 from the FMA series. Totally hilarious. I have to show you guys this episode. Even if you don't know the series, it's still totally funny. ^.^ Inoue-san, the author of these novels keep true to the original characters. Arakawa-san's comments and illustrations are so funny. (I'm guessing she approves. ^.^) I'm anticipating the next novels...which I hope will come out soon. (Viz Media...hiyaku! ^-^)

...bad news...

I have to go to the office tomorrow. <.<; My plans to stay in and work and later drop by Queens and play santa are officially postponed. Through the discussions with my co-workers, there is a silent agreement that it's not right for some of us to go...and some stay home. Basically, the rule of thumb is 'if you can reach a train/LIRR, go to the office.' Which means I have to leave my nice warm dwelling and brave the masses and the cold in the big city. ^^; I heard there is improvement with all the 'contigency plans' (which means, 'here are some plans that'll handle the chaos that is ensuing...but really doesn't do much) that are in place. But definitely, there will still be antropy everywhere, especially during rush hour. (I'm being harsh, I know.) I'm just kinda whiny since everyone else is suggesting 'Stay home, work at home.' And the center says, 'Come to the office if you can.' >.< I guess this is my job. Just because there is a strike doesn't mean that the abusers go on strike too.... ^^;

Finally, an definitive answer!

The strike is on! *dances around room* Okay...I'm just happy that they finally settled on a decision. Anticipating something is harder to prepare for...not to mention nerve wracking. No sleep or lack of sleep, 'cause I'm checking the news...I'm turning in a panda...only not as cute as Hoshi. ^-^; So...I'm at home today...but working hard of course. Now? I'm checking e-mails and making pancakes. *grins*

A definite positive to working at home is that I don't have to eat ramen (delicious as it is) for lunch. ^.^

O.O I so wanted to put that in slow mo: her moves were amazing. (I think I found my new role model. Wish I can cosplay as her...but my hair won't ever part in the middle... ^^;)

Xenosaga: Episode III

*happy sigh* While I was looking for FFVII:AC music, I found some updates on the next Xenosaga game. There were a few images and I just love Rubedo's new outfit.

For the last couple of days, I have been craving pancakes. When I finally bought the mix (on friday) o-kaa-san said it was too late in the evening and that I can make it on saturday. Saturday was chaos so I didn't make it. It would've made a good sunday breakfast though.... Until she went out and exchanged the freakin box for a whole wheat mix. >.<; Why does this always happen? My mother: the health nut is truly a nut. I know, I'm ranting...but hey, I'm an only child. I get the privledge to rant and curse. (Just a note, cursing doesn't really calm people down...it makes them even angrier. I curse only when I need to...like those f*ckin basterds that called themselves humans and turn out to be basterds...aka. men. <.<) Okay...I'm too tired....

Handel's concert and dvds

Last night (after my short stop at P-chan's for dinner-which was yummy btw ^.^) I went to listen to a concert, 'Handel's Messiah.' It was 3 hours (very long) and wonderful. My church friends were remarking that they wish our church choir sounded like that. ^^; lol...practice is good and all that....

On a happier note, I got my Gundam Wing DVDs! *dances* I can't wait to watch them. (At least o-kaa-san won't be able to return these and exchange them for some freakin' old videos...or something. >.< I'm digressing...still pissed...gomen. ^^;) Anyway, I'll be watching them soon enough. *sigh* Can't wait to see my fav.

The High Commander replied back! ^.^

Couple days ago, I e-mailed Mr. Warburton, the creator of KND (my fav. NA fandom next to Disney. ^.^) Today, he replied back to me. ^-^ *dances around the room* Here...I'll post the e-mail reply below....

heya rai!

thanks so much for all the ncie words! and don't worry! there are lots of people your age whow atch the show. i'm 37 and i watch it (but i have to!)

so let's answer those two questions, shall we?

Q: First, will Curious Pictures ever release season set dvds for the series? Or at least dvds that will present the episodes in order? Even though the series and episodes do not necessarily coincide with each other (except for key episodes,) it still will be nice for fans to be able to purchase them as gifts...or for ourselves. ^-^
A: well, it's not up to curious pictures. warner brothers home video decides all that stuff. i hope they do one day becuase it'd rock pretty hard!

Q: I realize that you may not be able to answer this next question...but here goes.... Do you have a list of names of all the rainbow monkeys that appeared on the show so far? If you do and it's in list/file/sendable form (and of course not 'classified' ^-^;) would it be possible for you to e-mail it to me? It's trivial but I've been curious about the number/names and being a numbuh 3 fan, I thought it'll be good to know. ^.^ (I realized the list I made is only from a fraction of the number of episodes that I have seen....) If it's an unattainable, I still thank you for reading my e-mail. It's a rarity and a treat to be able to contact directors or creators behind shows. ^.^
A: i don't think we have a comprehensive list made up but keep an eye out for best bar mitzvah ever rainbow monkey and toilet training troubles rainbow monkey in operation: HOME!

and there ya go!

take care and enjoy the holidays!

I called the office earlier this morning to say I wouldn't be going in today since the imending strike would be too difficult to travel in if it actually happened.

Strandbooks rocks!

My godsister doesn't have my site so...I ordered the FMA novel, 'The Land of Sand' by Inoue Makoto as her Christmas present. ^.^ After it came, I totally wanted to read the book...so I decided to buy another one for myself. I found out that Strandbooks had it for $5 (they also had the art book of FMA for $12 O.O but someone bought it already >.<) and I knew I had to get it ASAP. So after my appt. this morning, I hopped on the nearest subway to the store...and got it! ^.^ The salesguy was laughing, because when he pulled it off the shelf and asked 'Is this it?' I grinned and said 'Yeah!' ^-^ My fangirlness was practically screaming inside as I took the book. *happy sigh* It has a note and some drawings from Arakawa-san (FMA mangaka) in the back and they are sooo funny. ^.^

There are already 3 novels in Japan and this is the first one. It's all based on the series itself, so the stories aren't new (except for a few changes, so I heard. ^.^) But still...I can't wait to read it. ^.^

MTA strike

This morning, the LIRR presented the riders (me) with a note that basically stated that if the MTA strike commences, the trains would be packed since everyone couldn't take the subways. >.<; As if it's not packed already....

My office stated that if there is a strke, we didn't have to come to work. ^^; Afterall...I can't very well walk from Penn to downtown Man. Fam. Crt. or even to the Waverly ctr. at 14th St. (Which I want to go to by the way, since there is a book at the strandbooks store that I want to buy. ^.^) But besides that, I wouldn't mine a few days off.... I know, I'm mean. It wouldn't affect LI traffic since the LIRR would still be running and we don't live off of the public transportation (since there is next to none out there. <.<;) Here in the city and Queens...there will be no buses and subways. Oh well...at least Alby can drive. ^.^ *ducks from the flying keyboard* Ano...not that I am insinuating that you should drive people around...not really. ^^;

Personally, do I want a strike? Hm...I dunno. There is so much I want to get done and the strike will just delay what needs to be done. *stares at to do list* Yeah, I want the strike to occur after I finish my work. Than I can take an extended vacaton. ^^; I'm so bad....

This Jay Chou wma is (of course) dedicated to Jenn-chan. After seriously brainwashing us (me and P-chan) with Jay MVs when we we were at her house last time, I had this song stuck in my head all morning.

(I'm guessing I'm utilizing the internet of the apartment behind mine.... ^^;) I can play with you guys now! *dances*

'Which is better, the pink or the blue?'

I got some shopping done today and bought something for my friend(s) and ordered the mp3 player for my mother. (I had to order it online since the store where I was originally going to buy it charged much more than the online price. <.<) I hope it gets here soon.... It's a 1GB Samsung YP-F1ZW. Compact, easy to use and utilizes a battery that won't cost the price of another mp3 player. (That's one of the main reasons why I chose this above the Ipod shuffle....)

I'm online! ^.^

I have currently found a semi-stable network and am using it to the best of my ability. ^^; However, I better find one with a better signal before I do anything big...like play gunbound. ^.^ Lessee, one question you may ask is, how is the network? I say awesome! Its so refreshing after using dialup for so long. (Arigato, Pat for buying the card for me! ^.^)

Oh, just a note, I haven't watched 'Endless Waltz' yet. I'm waiting for the tv series to arrive. I'm going to watch the movie after watching the entire series all over again. ^-^ It would be best since it's been a long while since I have watched the series. *sigh* Kawaii Quatre.... ^-^

Shopping postponed

I'm going to go to the Queens area tomorrow and I'll be taking the 7 back to the city...riding right pass the electronic store on 5th Ave. So...I'm going tomorrow instead of today. ^-^ Either case, I have a list of what I need to buy. *checks list* I hope I have time. Still have so much to do and I haven't even figured out if I should take a vacation this month. *stares at to do list* I might not be able to go home at all.... O.O *throws the book* ^^;

12:15 am ~ Status: heady achy >.<* ~ Listening to: my head pounding

Wireless card installed...

...but still no wireless ethernet. Verdict? As I said to my friend, P-chan, the location in front of the window holds no signal. It is time to move my laptop to a different location. ^^;

Holiday shopping and book editions

Hopefully, I'll be able to go shopping tomorrow afternoon...before or after I go to Flushing for some personal business. I need to pick up a mp3 player for my mother (not an ipod...since you can't unshuffle a shuffle...right? ^^;) as well as other essential holiday things.

As requested a picture of the Narnia editions that I'm requesting for are linked on the 'wishes' site. Hope that helps. ^-^ Time to sleep! (Oh, my achy head. *grabs head and scrambles to bed*

Telephone calls and affidavits

I'm backlogged on so much work. I kinda wish that I wasn't on a deadline and can stay up all night and just finish all this stuff. <.< Just slurping noodles now and staring at my schedule book/to do list. Nearly impossible. I have to leave early today and go to the prayer meeting. I have to sleep at a reasonable time and I need to get back on track.

I hope you guys are having a better day than me.... >.<;

Sleep, anyone?

Last night: Korean BBQ/sashimi, cake (made in Alby's room, ^.^) presents (Endless Waltz, PS2 FMA 2 game, kawaii Hello Kitty pillow, ^-^) MJ, gunbound and sleep (4am.) Woke up at 10:48am (thankfully by my co-worker, ^^;) woke Alby up and made him drive me to the nearest train station.

Alby, you drive like a bat out of hell when you're in a hurry. ^.^ But a nice, smooth, well calculated bat out of hell. It's been a while since I've ridden with him when he is in a hurry...which is my fault since he was trying to get me on the 11:28am (we made it by the way. ^.^) What out 'Initial D', Alby is on the road! ^^;

okay... Caution: emotional revelations >.<

I'm glad you guys didn't do an all out surprise b-day celebration. I wasn't expecting one and I prayed desperately that it will not happen. There are just too many bad memories associated with my b-day and the idea of me being 'alive' in general. You must know why. I refuse to spend it with anyone else...expect you 4. (That's why I didn't want to go to church or see anyone else.) You guys have proven yourself time and again that we'll be bffs. I don't believe in eternity, not on earth anyway. If/when we go our separate ways, I'm sure it'll be fine. So that's why I'm not relying on anyone anymore. If I had in the past (which I'm sure I have,) I won't do so anymore.

I'm not sure exactly why I went away last year.... It was my b-day, but I didn't want to celebrate it. I have a short reserve and if you guys ask me once "Come out!" I'll say "Okay!" ^^; I didn't speak with anyone...because I made my decision to leave without explanations. I thought a concise note (in chinese) to my mother would satisfy her scruples about me being somewhere she doesn't know. (Boy, was I stupid. >.<) I went and tried to have fun on my own. To feel happy being myself. Did it work? I don't know. I just know that I truly like traveling on my own. ^^; Freedom is something I savor immensely...something I think will withhold me from joining the army. <_<;

To forgive is a verb that is missing from my vocabulary. I don't accept that. For over a year, I have based my strength on hatred. My stubbornness to not forgive have caused me to develope characteristics that seemed contrary to my personality. Well, I don't need to spell it out to you, you've seen the changes. If this is maturing, this is the way I am. Some words that would describe me now would be: defiant, stubborn, rude, brash and emotional. It's a weak bravado veiling a troubled soul. <.< Yeah, that's me.

Friday = no sleep = Gunbound! ^.^

After eating dinner, my friends got on the computer and started to play Gunbound. (So much fun, check it out. ^.^) After re-registering (since my unactive account was...unactive, ^^;) I re-entered the world (remodeled) of avatars and bombs. ^.^ Being a newb and all (all over again-since I played like over a year ago) my friends had to open new accounts so that they could come to my level. (Aren't they sweet? ^-^) Anyway...we played until the sun rose...literally. The sky was bright with light by the time we decided to go to sleep.

Saturday = Jay Chou = unexpected sleepover at Jenn-chan's -.-Zz

After waking up, we headed over to Jenn-chan's (since I was at P-chan's) for pizza and KTV. It was fun talking and watching tv and Jay Chou videos. I was suppose to be going back to Alby's to sleep...but it was too cold. Anyway...we had fun. ^.^

Sunday = snow!!!

*sigh* It snowed this morning. ^.^ Soooo happy. The first snow of the year...and it's today. ^-^ Refreshing myself at Alby's right now...and we should be off to Flushing soon.

After ringtones comes...

...smelltones! Tired of all the annoying ringing and overused ringtones? Gizmodo's previous article (which I just caught) displays Japan's newest thing for cellphones: smells that alerts you when your phone rings. ^^; Yup! No more stares in the theaters when your phone rings in the middle of a movie...instead, people around you will comment, 'What smells?' You can reply, 'It's only my phone.' ^.^

9:50 am ~ Status: lazy -.-'

What does this button do?

We got new phones at the office. I have to figure out how it works.... *stares at the manuel* O.O *ditches the manuel* ^^; Ano...there is going to be a training later to teach us how to use our brand new, high tech phone. ^.^

First Christmas gift!

My friend from YPF bought me my first gift...the wireless card of my wishlist. Thanks so much! ^.^ *dances happily* Its a netgear G card...I'll be installing it next week when I'm back home.

Weekend...

Yay! I'll be with my closest friends starting tomorrow! If you don't know them, check out my amity page to get a brief view of them through their profiles. (I'm planning to add pics...just give me some time...which I kinda don't have. ^^;) I'll be sleeping over P-chan's and Alby's houses and maybe even Jenn-chan's. *big grin* Some many places.... ^.^ Can't wait!

Aiya...got to sleep! I have an early appt. tomorrow! *runs off to bed*
