It started a couple of weeks ago there’s a cereal company here in the city that’s sponsoring a 14 day weight loss plan for the employees with a BMI of 25 and above, it has to be approved by clinic of course but several people actually signed up, part of the sign up deal were three cartons of cereals and several low fat milk cartons. I wanted to sign-up as I loooovvvveeee getting those freebies hehehe but since my BMI is 22 am not qualified. A friend of mine joined and she religiously followed the instructions and she said she managed to loss several pounds which proves there really is a quick weight loss program out there and it’s just a matter of self-discipline.
Back in my high school days I have been curious [for the lack of a better word] with wicca and everything that goes with it. I couldn’t find any occult shops here and now when I finally got my own set of tarot cards with a matching book to boot. Weeeeeeee lets take a look at them, shall we?
One of the many reasons why a friend and I are still with the company is the insurance benefits that came with the package. Medical insurance most importantly has been a major life and pocket saver for her and me that though work sucks literally, we hang on to it as it’s our major lifeline. Both of us are working part time online and we have been keen to promote that and make it full time but unless it comes with some sort of online life insurance policy then I think it’ll have to stay in the back seat.
Sewing like cooking is not my cup of tea … something I do once in a blue moon when I get all lunatic and just wacked out. So last Thursday I went to the mall and bought a sewing kit … the last time I saw these things was when I was in my Junior year, Home Economics where they ask you to sew Aprons and what not …
I am in a swap over at swap-bot which was really crazy and something I would never have done in a million years but for some god forsaken reason I signed up and ended up sewing what I believe is a dotee doll.
[http://oflettersandbeyond.blogspot.com is my swapping blog]
It wasn’t so bad at all, I actually had fun doing it … I guess Share was right when she said we might be surprised to find out that we might like it after all. I think I might make some more though I have no idea what am gonna do with them. They don’t hold a candle to the ones made by pros over at swap-bot and flickr but heck, I made it and its the effort and the thought that counts.
New Year’s Resolution per say lol.

Hmmm … how I go about fulfilling them is something I still haven’t figured out … but am crossing my fingers.
You know how there are several shops along the streets of Colon selling DVD’s? well I went there and asked if they still have a copy of Meteor Garden. The look on their faces before bursting out laughing was unbelievable until finally one managed to ask, “Where have you been when they were popular?” Ah … they were popular when I was in my first year or second year in college which made me what 17? … I replied, “I must have been asleep”.
So talk about a 7 year set back huh …lol Oh well my head was buried in books that time and yes I can still remember my classmates and neighbors going bananas about it and it never affected me. I know am weird but am watching Meteor Garden now all because of a totally different reason. This show is in Mandarin and by year’s end I should be able to watch and understand it with the subtitles off; though I must admit it’s sort of funny.
Run across a free trial version of an antivirus software online and am wondering if its any good. At the moment I am using Windows Live Essentials which comes as a free download from the Microsoft site and works great with Windows 7. The name of the software is Vipre which is said to come with antivirus and antispyware protection; it has been given a 5 star rating over at download.com and has gotten quite rave reviews from users and editors alike. Now I did mention it has a free trial version that lasts for 30 days and its quite simple to obtain, just fill the registration form and you got the software to test out. It’s said to have little to no impact as to the computer’s performance, some software actually slow down the pc when they are loaded but not this nifty one which I think is a really major plus.
I’d better do a bit of reading before downloading the program, don’t want to run into some problems on my pc.
*sigh* I loooooove one lol. A pink Sony Vaio that is; my second choice after a macbook only problem is this beauty is very expensive *sigh* I guess I’ll just have to just continue looking at it every time I pass by the Sony store at SM … Yikes!
2009 was a blast both in a good and bad context … people always wanna hear the bad things first so let’s do a quic recap ..
March – I had a major skin allergy [like super major ... I cringed at the memory. I was itching all over and was on SL for close to 4 weeks!]
Later part of the year found me dealing me close to daily asthma episodes which caused me to miss the comprehensive exam and a very messed up scorecard … beyond repair, ouch!
As for the good … heck I’ve been to several places Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Baguio and Bangkok in a span of three months! It was amazing … the places, the food, the shopping and most of all the people were worth it.
Looking forward to another round of trotting across Asia … weeeeeeeee
- wedding rings and moi??? not quite! -
Technically she’s still 24 when she tied down the knot yesterday and she’s the first in the group to settle down [or so they say]. Well I got invited to attend my friend’s wedding, back in high school we have this circle of friends, there’s like 17 of us [15 girls and 2 boys] we parted ways when we went to different colleges but still get in touch and gather for Christmas party every year [am almost always missing in these gathering but nonetheless].
So Ann tied down the knot yesterday. Heck I don’t even know the guy [some friend huh?!!] Well we are not “close” per say, it’s big group what’d you expect? true all of us are friends but within that group you’d always have your own close friends right?.
So I watched her walk down the aisle in a princess like wedding gown and wondered, there she was settling down at the age of 24 and here I am at 24 still waiting or shall I say still trying to grow up. Heck! What happened in the “growing up” phase? A friend said just because she’s getting married doesn’t mean she has matured already … but then marriage is a HUGE thing, it’s not a trial and error kinda game that you could just walk out of the moment you realize it’s no longer working for you especially since there’s no divorce here.
The wedding was a classic scene and I just hope she’s getting married for all the right reasons and not because circumstance forced them too. Creepy One always said I am a cynic, so what … love in this day and age is highly overrated. I’d prolly cause foreheads to frown on that last sentence but what the heck … bite me!
Am such a bad photographer … yikes! But that’s the view every 2 AM when I stood by the street waiting for a cab to go to work. Every Christmas season they would hang Christmas lights on every tree and the way it illuminates on a dark silent street is just peaceful and mysterious in a way, especially if you’re like me whose head is almost always in space then yeah … you’d think something this nonsense to be something worthwhile.
I noticed the lights on the Christmas of 2008 and I’ve been meaning to take a photo of it since then but I never got to not till last night. It’s not something but I finally got to do what I’ve been procrastinating to do … talk about a year’s setback.
So there goes my view every 2AM while waiting for a cab to take me to the office.
With the evolution of technology several companies have developed software which made transaction smooth and hassle free. A windows based software called Q-Check gives merchants the capability to receive check by phone; all legal and doesn’t require the signature of the depositor just perfect for the busy merchant.
That was the question Jenny asked when she saw me outside the house on my way to the grocers. She said, “Te Wena, your hair is uneven, what’d you do?” I replied, “I cut it after I came out of the shower”. She grinned. I’ve always had long hair … waist long curly hair that I almost always wear in a tight bun or in a pony tail. When I do cut it it’d always be longer than shoulder length and I don’t mind it much; would only notice it has grown waist long again when a friend comment on it. Bena would always say to have it cut because it’s already very long already … but going to the salon is my least favorite thing to do. It’s like cooking … something I do once in a blue moon. So scissors let me use you to cut my hair and ta … da!
- hair be gone lol -
I’m not saying I have arthritis but I know of quite a few people around my age who seem to be suffering from this symptom every once in a while. arthritis treatment is common, quite affordable and over the counter though what you’d see buying these types of treatment most of the times would be those aging folks, the very reason why it bugs my friend a lot to go and buy them herself. Thanks to Mrs. Lopez [the housekeeper] she doesn’t have to do it all on her own.
