The newest member in the family. My very own Pink Lenovo Ideapad S10, and I name it Pink Grunge. It sits side by side my macbook. Weeee the gods and the fairies didn’t drop this baby on my doorstep instead I had to buy it hehe as a present for myself.
What I want for my birthday … lol … sigh wish the gods or the fairies who adore me can hear me wish for this baby and would drop this on my mailbox tomorrow.
Aside from bloghopping and watching movies online am also fond of checking out various travel deals online. Who knows I might bump into a nice package for Hawaii or Europe, hehehe wishful thinking. Bena, Kathy, Rich and I are going to Davao next week and I cannot wait. Another escapade for me … weee. We got our tickets at a very cheap rate, good thing one of the airline companies here had a promo back then. Davao here we come!!
Bang Bang pinged me once, she was in the office while I was at home, she asked me about diet pills and what I thought of the new ones available online called allie. I told her am no expert on diet pills and am no nutritionist hehe but if she wants to lose weight like I do, I’d do it the “normal” way. I still go to the gym regularly and am hoping this would all pay off someday. I dont want to lose weight drastically, thats kinda scary.
Christmas is just around the corner and boy do I smell a banquet looming. lol That’d mean bad for my diet as I certainly cannot resist mouth watering goodies. A couple of friends already invited me to celebrate christmas with them and there’s the company christmas ball to look forward to. So I heard someone talking about the latest or shall I say the best diet pill in town, is it gonna work? Its more like a comfort zone to give us an excuse to splurge this holiday.
Now isn’t this dress fancy? With the upcoming company Christmas ball, everyone is on the look out for that perfect dress. Am not sure yet if I’ll ever attend but am considering it, though the hassle of looking for a dress doesn’t really excite me, but I did find quite a few nice dresses online and the picture above is an example its one of those expensive and super elegant Oscar de la Renta dress collection. Its a stunning blue and I love the shoes the model’s wearing to complete the ensemble. Maybe I’d look for something …. similar.
Am stuck with the Shopaholic Series lol … can’t seem to put the book down. Am on my 3rd book and I cant wait to finish it and read the next in line.

The holiday is fast approaching and everyone is in the mood for Christmas Shopping, I’ve done my share earlier. On an impulse I bought a cute pink hello kitty purse for Jenny and I bought a pink transparent shoulder bag for myself. lol Am also waiting for any event:http://www.3dsense.net/interactive/ that’d occur in any of those shopping sites I got bookmarked, even though most of them don’t really ship items to the Philippines but I’ve got a couple of friends over there who are coming home for the holiday season that can bring them home to me. Am very eager for buy.com’s possible up coming sale, not only are the prices relatively cheap there delivery is very fast compared other shops. Hehehe so hop on everyone lets go online shopping
Someone who’s having terrible bouts of migraine is advised to get a pair of glasses, lol I know she’s in a tight budget right now so she thinks she’ll never be able to get one till next year. I told her that she can get Great Eyeglasses For Less as a company is offering it and Zenni Optical was on FOX news! So they’re a good deal even told her that there are Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni to choose from and that so check Zenni on Fox for herself.
Yey!!! My very own Iklear solution pack, Eds went to Manila for 3 weeks and I asked him if he could look this kit for me in one of the Apple Stores there, as there’s none available in all three iStore’s here in Cebu. He arrived last Sunday and gave me this pack tuesday morning at the office. Hehe my macbook needs a good deal of cleaning and this one is the perfect solution.
Tosha Eds:) which reminds me I still owe him 300 bucks. lol
Thinking of getting an insurance? but don’t really know where to begin? Lol, then why not get one of those no exam life insurance, most insurance companies the typical ones would ask for tests, various tests to check on the applicant’s current health status. Often times they’d be disapproved because of some exisiting health problems. Now there are companies outhere offering various type of insurance, better check them out before closing up a deal.
Aren’t they just perfect? Am not such a sucker for flowers, I appreciate them, yes, but I wouldn’t be that fascinated if I receive them on occasion except of course if its gonna be a bouquet of pink roses … now that’s another story. Reminded of a classmate back in college, she was a nursing student and we were classmates on one of my minor subjects. We were pretty close and she told me once that her boyfriend who lives on the other side of the globe never fails to send flowers on their monthsary. Now isn’t that sweet? Its always a bouquet of red roses … sigh … am such a hopeless romantic. She said her boyfriend utilizes one of those fancy international flower delivery services to send those beautiful roses to her, she actually demands for them in a cute sort of way and that lasted till they ended the relationship not too long ago.
Then here comes Jyn, I met her during my Graduate Studies, one of my classmates on the major subjects and we became pretty close, and just like the girl mentioned above she too has a boyfriend in the US which is now her husband (happy ending) and during their monthsary thats every 13th of the month, the guy would send her a bouquet of red roses using one of those international flower delivery service, and since we’re one day ahead the flowers would arrive every 14th of the month here in the country.
Can you tell my envy? not of the red roses but of the thought that someone cares and someone thinks of you every single day. *sigh*
So what is a credit score and why is it so important? From wikipedia, A credit score is a numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person’s credit files, to represent the creditworthiness of that person. A credit score is primarily based on credit report information, typically sourced from credit bureaus. So banks, credit card companies and other financial institutions would use this score to evaluate the potential risk posed by lending money to consumers. This is not limited to banks but other companies as well such as mobile phone companies, insurance, real estate and etc. They’d also based the credit limit, possibly money to be loaned and the interest rate on this score. So it’s important that you know your score to see where you stand and what you can do to improve it.
Checking for various financial institutions for your credit standing can sometimes be tedious and stressful but with the advent of technology and the power of the world wide web, there are now established companies online that offer services like instant credit score checks and when I say instant I literally mean instant like in just a couple of seconds. The wonders of technology and best of all they’re offering it for free!! Back in the old times services like this could take a couple of days, business days to be exact and would certainly come with a fee but now … its for free, so what are you waiting for? Go check credit score to know where you stand and do what needs to be done should you fall below what’s considered good credit standing.
One of my hidden desires is to operate a coffee shop of my own someday, nothing fancy and expensive like Starbucks but something of that nature but more personalized where small time bloggers/students like me can have a place to chill out. Everytime am in Starbucks I always happen to check out their display of coffee makers and blenders, same thing if am online and I ran out of things to browse I check for coffee makers and check on their prices and brands. Just lately I’ve ran into a brand from Switzerland called Jura Capresso, there line of automatic coffee espresso has earned them top honors in the coffee community worldwide. The price starts at a whooping $899 and goes higher depending on the model. *sigh* I guess this isn’t intended for small time peeps like me.
I lost my coin purse. Yep thats right Ijust freakin lost it!!! I dunno where I misplaced it could be in the ladies room or in the locker room all I know is I lost it and that includes a couple of bills, coins and my keys. *sigh* I’ve been pretty reckless lately but I never ever thought a day would come that I’d lose my purse. Oh well .. whats done is done. Better be extra careful next time.
Debt debt debt .. who doesn’t have them? I guess even the president has her own debts lol, the country has debts and I doubt if this nation we’ll ever be debt free but my point is I guess these things are normal and that so long as you know you can manage them then you’re fine. Right? Mom used to say that everytime a person earns bigger that’d mean he’s expenses would grow too. Used to say that will not happen to me … she just smiled. The wisdom of the old. We’ll now that am older and am earning on my own I’ve come to understand why she said that, true am earning quite higher than the minimum wage and I tend to spend a lot too. Not beyond border but close to it, used to be I almost always eat at home or I eat in karenderias .. now with the influence of colleagues I’ve grown fascinated with fast foods and fine dining. Not that we do it very often but still its something new, its something I was not doing before. Once of the things am afraid of though and paranoid as they may sound is that am scared of having to consult experts regarding debt consolidation because my debts have grown unmanageable. Or am afraid of having to surrender my payroll atm card to one of those debt companies because I was not able to make both ends meet and is forced to borrow money from these firms. Heaven forbid so long as I have my finances in check then I should be fine.
When Aidan asked for Carrie’s hand in marriage it was with the help of Samantha that he gave her this ring. The first one selected by Miranda was not really much of her and when she mentioned to the girls the ring she’s found out in Aidan’s gym bag and how it was no so like her. Miranda spilled out that it was her choice. Hahaha … I guess girlfriends are really helpful in things like this, they’re usually the ones who’d give the other party the hint as to what to get such as what type of flowers or what ring to choose from the engagement rings to select from. But that marriage didn’t push through but just the same the ring was well worth it.
Me and my restless feet is on the lose again. If all goes well I’ll be spending the latter part of November and the first week of December somewhere. The sad thing is all of the unpaid vacation leaves I filed for are all “pending” … seems like my capacity to go travel anywhere in and out of the country raised a few eyebrows. lol … even heard someone asked, “why does she keeps on traveling?, what’s wrong with her?” lol … is that what I think it is? A bout of insecurity? hahaha … oh well … and she used to be part of those people I always bring presents for. Guess she’s eliminated from the list. Hate it when people just can’t let me if she wanted to go on vacation leave then why don’t she file one herself … duh!!!
A colleague of mine literally cut her credit card into two she said she’s paying the monthly bill and she ut the card so she wont have anything to use and so that she won’t be tempted to use it. Her bill has accumulated over the past 5 years and she’s paying the interest on top of the capital and when I heard the amount, I was worried shitless. A hundred thousand tops and she’s paying like five thousand every month and am not sure if its diminishing the outstanding balance greatly. She doesn’t seem to be that worried but I worry for her, my outstanding balance is not even 1/8 of what she owes the credit company. Right now one of the things her sister, who is based in the US suggest she do is check for companies that would offer free credit report so she can track down her expenses, run comparisons, and make action plans to minimize her expenses. Accdg. to her sister in the States it is important that one’s credit score is of good standing otherwise you’d have difficulty acquiring things and the likes. So up there, there are various finanial companies offering services like credit check, debt management and sometimes they would give tips and suggestions on how to improve credit for the betterment of your credit/financial standing.
The web has been very helpful to people form various walks of life, from students who couldnt seem to locate a piece of info need to complete a paper or to travelers who cant seem to locate a certain hotel. Its all online … same thing with area codes for phone numbers in all the states. Should you ever need to search area codes of various locations then you shouldnt be having any problems so long as your connected online.
Beautiful Sumilon - was there with Kathy and Rich sometime last March of this year and I can’t wait to go back. As planned me and a couple of my close friends at work would be celebrating my birthday there … I love the place and am looking forward to turning a year older.
Our team building is fast approaching and am very excited, we’re headed to Camotes this time and it’d be a first for me. Just like those other team buildings we’ve had its always cowboy style, my boss is a good cook and he always made sure that the food is ready and going look before all the agents are awake. Last time we went out of town, I noticed that we kinda missed on certain utensils, spoon and fork were available but things like a can opener, a pair of scissors and a knife were forgotten. So now am thinking since its still a month away, am planning to get myself a foldable companion knife … its a compact 2-bladed traditional pocket knife with nickelsilver bolsters and its very handy.
Just got back home from school, I can’t believe how energized I feel despite having been awake for more than 24 hours. Was working on two papers due today last night amidst chatting with people at work. Not even a snooze for a couple of minutes but at least am done … submitted both papers earlier, got my clearance and finals permit signed by my professors and am off.
Looking forward to enjoying a week or so before the start of the second semester.
With the upcoming Davao escapade with Bena and Kathy, am looking forward to purchasing a new digicam, what I currently have is a bit damaged. The photos taken are a bit blurry and pixilated they don’t really look that good. In conjunction with buying this new camera am also planning on buying a micro sd to hold all the photos, since we’ve heard a lot of good things about Davao I sure wanna capture the beauty of the place as part of my mementos.
Was contemplating of getting this PS3 for Christmas but am torn between this one and a pink psp. Any suggestions pls? lol … might as well put into consideration the price difference, might as well consult gamers who know better about the advantages and disadvantages of both products before I go ahead and spend my hard earned monies. Knowing how fickle-minded I am, I’d better be careful on choosing otherwise I’d end up selling it in less than a month’s time.
In a month’s time I’ll be turning 23, seems not so long ago when Mik, A, Aisat, Bukie and I celebrated mine and Mik’s bday at A’s bhouse … on the rooftop nonetheless overlooking the entire city. We had fun and now am looking forward to doing that again with these beautiful people. Just like every birthday celebrant I do have my own wishlist … so guys … if you’re planning to get me something … weeeeee … here’s my list in a random order:
Was in Ayala yesterday when I saw this home theater seating that made my mouth water, it looks really comfortable and it made my mind wander and daydream of a nice house of my own and my very own wide screen tv. Now isn’t that fantastic? Oh well all I can do is dream for now …
