We’ve been together for half our lives, literally:
16 years
192 months
5,760 days
138,240 hours
8,294,400 minutes
248,832,000 seconds…and I have been loving every second of it!
Thanks for being the person that you are. God definitely had you in mind when he made me… for through the years we have definitely proven, that you and me, we were truly meant to be! I love you forever!
Yep, that I did! And I am very thankful for it. What disaster is this? Hmmm. My laptop conked out on me! As in! I was just upload some of little one’s pics on her friendster when the laptop turned itself off. Apparently, the plug was not properly attached to the socket, so the laptop had no more power. Ok, fine. This has happened to me a dozen of times! I just rebooted the laptop, but it won’t boot. It just kept of restarting. It was really frustrating. I tried everything. I tried booting on safe mode, using the windows installer CD, everything I can think of… to no avail!
Good thing thought that when my sister had someone fix her pc, she also asked the guy to look into my laptop. The tech guy that proceeded to put a partition in my hard drive, that way he said, should my OS crash, my files will still be intact (whew).
After attempting to reboot gazillions of times, I tried to format my drive c, as a last act of desperation. Bye bye files. Bye bye programs. Good thing though that I was able to back some of my files while I was on vacation. And as if fate is playing a joke on me, the formatting just won’t go through. It reaches up to 56% then hangs. Grrr!
I wanted to blog about Manny Pacquiao’s win, but couldn’t, I wanted to express my frustration that Channel 2 was showing Judy Ann Santos’ movie KKK part 2 the same time Channel 7 was showing the boxing match. I would’ve loved to watch Juday’s movie since I watched the 1st installment and just loved it. But I just couldn’t. I was so sad. Good thing hubby is ever sensitive about my feelings. Seeing how frustrated I was, he volunteered to drive me to SM megamall to have my laptop fixed.
I was still apprehensive though since I didn’t have any money to pay for any parts that may need to be replaced. I was also hoping against hope that the labor charges won’t be so steep. The heavens heard my prayer since as it turned out, I didn’t have to pay for anything! Labor was free, and since the problem was not in the hardware, they didn’t need to replace anything! The problem was with my OS and the installation process. The laptop must’ve been tired from all that rebooting. It got the much needed rest while we were traveling to the mall. When we tried to install the software, it ran beautifully. Haaay (sigh of relief)
So last night, I was faced with the tedious task of installing the programs and drivers all over again. I wasn’t completely done yet, but at least I was able to try the wifi connection and was able to log on the internet. That’s enough for now. But of course, photoshop will have to be next, for my scrap stuff. =)
Whew…whew…and whew… a thousand times over!
Yep, finally watched it. Watched twilight last night with hubby. What did think about it? Hmmm… it was ok. It had a lot of kilig moments. I like the guy who played Edward better in harry potter when he played cedric diggory. In this movie, he has definitely matured already and has more manly features, but sometimes I feel he is just too haggard for my taste. Although I must admit, he is effective in depicting the intensity of his feelings towards bella. Who wouldn’t be intrigued and mystified when stared at by those piercing golden brown eyes? I didn’t like the girl who played bella so much, probably because hubby kept of commenting on how pretty she’s become. Her looks have definitely come a long way from when we first saw her as the gawky tomboy in panic room. She is pretty, but one thing that annoyed me about her is that her mouth is perpetually open! Grrr.
I’m not really into vampires, but then again, I thought I wasn’t into wizards too until harry potter came along. Maybe I’d appreciate it more when I get the chance to read the books. But I think I’m in for a long wait since bookstores have ran out of stock. Hopefully, when it becomes available, it will be worth the wait.
In the meantime, maybe I can give the movie another go, watch it one more time, maybe it will grow on me then.
Stuck in the office. Sooooo bored. Pretending to be busy. Counting the hours till corporate claws set me free… listening to good ‘ole Britney on my cellphone…
I wish I can watch twilight tonight. Feel so left out. I’ve been warning hubby not to shriek when Edward comes out on screen. BIL told me people did just that when they watched the movie.
mmm… it has been a while since I wrote an ode to my lonely work life. =)
I was not aware there was even such a thing.
Yesterday, when we arrived home after our trip to the south, I just happened to look up and was amused at what I saw. As I was smiling at the heavens, it was smiling down back at me! Heavenly bodies all lined up just to greet me a belated happy birthday.
They said it is the so-called smiling moon phenomenon.
This is from an email my sis sent to me: Smiling Moon Phenomenon Happens Tonight 
Wondering why the moon smiles at you? Tonight you might have not notice the moon is smiling. Go out and look at the moon and you might see the moon smiling back at you. The smiling moon phenomenon happens every 48 years, so don’t miss it! “Astronomers say Venus and Jupiter and a crescent moon will form a smiley face tonight, with the planets forming the eyes and the moon forming the mouth. Venus and Jupiter have appeared side by side in the evening sky over the last week or so, but tonight will be the best night to see the “face” appear, astronomers say.”
The smiling moon phenomenon is best viewed in
As I a look at the moon tonight, I feel that the heavens are trying to send us a message. Perhaps it is a reminder for us to be happy amidst the crisis and problems that the world is suffering. Think positive. Be happy!
So, there is indeed a logical explanation for the skies’ happy face… whatever. I have my own explanation. I choose to think it’s my mama, looking down at me with her goofy grin. “Is it you mama? Greeting your bunso a belated happy birthday? Thanks for remembering…”
Another year older. I have been walking this earth for more than 3 decades with not much wisdom and life experiences to show for it. Hmp.
Every year, when my birthday comes along… I turn into a b*tch. I don’t know why. I don’t really intend to. What is it with November guys and birthdays? Hmmm…I just feel like I have the license to demand sole attention from my loved ones because it is MY DAY. I must be treated special, I must be loved, I must be pampered… if not, hold on to you hats…hubby often chides me that I’m probably related to goku, gohan and the rest of the dragon ball family, because when I get mad, I transform. Blame it on PMS too… bad timing. Over the weekend, I lost my temper three times. Of course I felt so much remorse after I exploded… but still… hopefully the little one is still to young to imbibe my mood swings, and hubby is blessed with enough patience and love for me to survive it all…
Note to self: YOU ARE GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS! BE MATURED ALREADY, OR AT LEAST TRY TO ACT LIKE IT!
=)
Hehehe… not late! And to think we arrived home late after my advance bday / farewell to mama dinner at gerry’s marquinton. =)
We were able to wake up early today, primarily because we were supposed to take mama to the airport ( but she was not yet ready so hubby just took me to the shuttle terminal), the little one was not a very happy camper though, the late nights seems to have finally taken its toll on her. She was moody when she woke up, refusing to smile for mommy. She gave me a kiss and a hug though when I asked for it. That’s enough to make my day. =)
I am tardy again, for the second time this week! Argh! So frustrating. I finally found out what was the root of all these evil… a new traffic scheme! Apparently, shuttle services and taxis are no longer allowed to pass on EDSA’s yellow lane. What?! Vehicles with YELLOW plates are no longer allowed on YELLOW lanes! My golly! As if the lanes for vehicles with green plates are not congested enough! Now, taxis and shuttle services have added to the volume plying that lane. Now that just doesn’t make any sense. We used to have a shuttle service with yellow plates, and I know for a fact that the registration of such vehicles are more complicated and expensive than that of green plates. Why then are they treated the same was as green plates? Why aren’t they enjoying the same benefits that their PUV counterparts are enjoying? (only buses are now allowed on the yellow lane)
I am mad about all these because I was tardy…the shuttle service I was riding had to stay out of the yellow lane, even if it was so empty! I could’ve made it on time had our driver zoomed by edsa, like he usually does…if not for the friggin new traffic scheme.
Sorry just venting. =(
Waaaahhhh! Christmas is certainly round the corner, round the corner but not yet here! Why the heck is the traffic in metro manila turned hellish all of the sudden starting this week?! I was late for work earlier. After being on leave for a week, this is certainly not a good way to impress my bosses….
Need to do better for the rest of the week. Need to rise early, act fast, leave the house at the earliest possible time…
That’s the plan, in the meantime, I’ll just keep on hitting the snooze button and ignoring hubby’s gentle nudges… zzzzzzz.
