Was doing yet another round of aimless internet strolling I landed on a blog where the blogger posted something about getting a DIY kit … I didn’t read through the entire post since my attention was captured by these two pink and utterly cute knives:

As I searched on Google Images some more I landed on several pink utility knives, having a few of them in the kitchen would sure make my look a bit livelier.
I found this meme during one of my blog hopping sessions and I fell in love with it then and there. So here I am making an entry of my own.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
My Teaser for the week:
“So there’s nothing to stop you coming home and getting sorted out,” said Dad.
“But I have a cat,” I lied.
“You can get another one,” he said.
“But I have a boyfriend.” I protested.
“You can get another one of those too,” said Dad.
~ p.208, “Rachel’s Holiday” by Marian Keyes; compiled in a book called Thirty and Fabulous!
It has been a while since I’ve read a book and it made me realize just how much I’ve missed it. So glad to have found this meme, now I have something to look forward to every week. It’s a fascinating experience to go through what others are reading.
Isn’t this pink polo boots for women cute or what? I found this pair while searching the web for random pink items and if only I know how polo works I’d probably have one of these too. Nyahahaha … so so kawaii.
Found these two really cute pink weighing scales online and boy I ended up wanting one. The pink Hello Kitty scale is really cute, wonder where I could buy one. I don’t see anything like this in the malls here. The weighing scales we have are all plain looking and simple. A friend suggested that if I really want something like it I would have to go with ebay or amazon.com
I haven’t participated in this meme for quite a long time and I am feeling terribly bad about it. So am back and hopefully this will be the start of a more consistent participation of the meme. For this week am posting this cute image I run into online … a pink flash drive … there are lots of them I had a hard time picking out which ones stand out.

Aren’t they both adorable? Too bad there are no designs like them here, what I’ve seen so far are just generic ones which put me off from buying one especially as I really don’t need one. But if there was anything cute or pink at all am sure I would have bought one.
Its been awhile since I last joined Pink Fridays and for this week my entry would be My Pink Summer Blog Contest. The banner was artfully done by my good friend Chocorico of Live Love Laugh and Fly.
Am hoping you guys would join. Click on the banner for more info.
Chie passed on this tag to me via my shoutbox and I sure appreciate it sis. So here’s the rule:
Start Copy ” A good Snapshot stops a moment from running away.”

——————
So this pic was taken by my good friend Eds of Soloflighted.com during the Boat Sailing Trip with my previous team. Daddy Joe was my team lead back then when I was still in the Commercial LOB. This photo reminds me of how we were about to drown because of bad weather, wrong sense of judgment and with bad fortune on our side.
Several friends who have seen this photo remarked that its basically the person I have become ever since mom went ill and well after she died. Dark, gloomy, unhappy and whatever else you could think of.
I may look happy on the outside what with my travels and what not. But deep inside am still coping with the loss and I still can’t quite accept that she is indeed gone. Let’s just say I travel to get away from it all and I’d repeat the process over and over until I come to terms with what I’ve lost. When that would be, I don’t know. Money certainly can’t buy you happiness.
Now am passing this on to whoever wants to take part. Feel free to grab it.
Alright, another meme coming up. I got this invite on my shout box from Dave and who am I to refuse? I love memes. So here it goes:

So the other day I was very keen on getting a new phone. My choice was constantly between Sony Ericsson’s Xperia and Palm’s Treo Pro. I gave up on the iPhone, aside from the fact that its not open GSM, the rates are just horrible. When Diva and I went to Ayala last Wednesday, we saw a white Palm Centrino and he suggested I go buy it but am reluctant. It was not my first choice but looking at this pink version now … whew!!! if this is available here then yes I’d surely go for it.
For this week’s edition of Pink Friday, am posting this cute pink laptop cooler I got for my Pink Lenovo … heheh got it at CD-R King a couple of weeks back and I love the way it looked. So cute and so pink … they’re like a match made in heaven. Lol
I have been gone and out for a couple of weeks now … missed a couple of Pink Friday editions but this week am back and hopefully for good. Some time last week Randy, Lily and I hit the malls to buy materials for our bulletin board. While we were in National Book Store I remembered that the stapler I had back home, the one I’ve been using since high school is no longer working.
So I bought one … just similar to the picture above. Weeeeeeee a pink stapler. Another pink item to add to the collection.
My Pink Shoelace is getting some lovin. Weeeeeeeee
Windmill included me in this beautiful Valentine’s Meme, am very pleased when upon logging on to my blog what greeted me was his message informing me of this meme.

This is a bit overdue but as they say better late than never. Windmill has graciously included me in his list of 5 bloggers to pass this award on to. This award requires me to list 5 reasons why Life is Grand and pass this award on to 5 bloggers.
Here are my 5 reasons why Life is Grand:
1. Despite losing mom and being technically on my own … I’ve managed to continue on living.
2. I am blessed with two close friends who never let me down and who has always been around despite the different paths we’ve followed.
3. Am able to joggle work and school despite having been frustrated at certain times.
4. Am blessed with new friends who managed to show their love and affection despite my bratty ways.
5. Despite the economic crisis, online and offline opportunities still continue to come.
Now am passing this on to all the beautiful people in my blogroll and to anyone who feels that Life is indeed Grand to just grab it and take part in this meme.
For this week’s edition of Pink Friday, am posting the blog header of a friend of mine. She love’s pink and purple and her site’s color scheme is a combination of both.
Do check her out @ http://prettyfirefly.com
For this week’s edition of Pink Friday, am posting a pink Hello Kitty mouse the image below is not the image of my actual mouse but is the same style, color and design. Bought it at a gift shop here full of pink Hello Kitty items.
For this weeks Pink Friday, am posting the pink address book Doi got me from MV Doulos. She knows am addicted to pink and that every time she sees she remembers me. Weeeeeeee thanks Doooiiii … appreciate it.
Next project … a pink psp slim … though am not much of a gamer but I kinda like the idea of having a psp especially one in pink. So … this would be my next project achievable … in the next uhmmm 2 months? Hopefully.
Another Pink Friday post … I so love pink!!! lol. For this week, am posting this cute and oh so pink headphones from Skullcandy. Saw one of these at iStore and took a mental note of it, Daddy Joe showed me skullcandy’s website at work and said he wants one too. Though not the pink one lol but a different color from the same brand. Skullcandy rock!!! So here’s a couple choices of mine.
Not only do you get good looking, leather headphones but you also get high quality sound pulsing through these Skullcandy Hesh headphones into your ears.
Featuring the biggest power drivers you can get (50mm high explosive power drivers) and combining them with sound-boosting parabolic earcups, the Hesh headphones produce studio quality sound in an affordable package.
And we know studio quality sound is good – good enough for enjoying all types of music on iPods and other portable MP3 players, as well as home stereo systems.
# Dome-shaped earcups
# Soft leather touch earpads
# Leather headwrap
# Home stereo adaptor
# In-line volume control
# Travel bag
# 50mm power drivers
SC-TIPF (Skullcandy)
Add the Skullcandy Ti DJ style headset to your collection of high-end toys. The Ti is fashioned with 41mm titanium drivers, giving you super fast high-end response and delivering monster bass. Plug ‘em into your head and you experience for yourself how music should really sound.
# 41mm Titanium driver
# Soft leather touch earpads
# Extra earpad set
# 90 Degree swivel speakers
# Leather headwrap
# Home stereo adaptor
# Travel bag
SCLOWP (Skullcandy)
The Lowrider headset is a cross between the professional audio headset used by the DJs and a high end HiFi headset. It is very stylish and gives you an exceptional audio quality. The Lowrider headset has 2 speakers that can be oriented at 90°, thus you can use in pure “DJ” style and has an excellent fit.
The Lowrider headset not only makes a style statement but also enables you to benefit from your music.
So there you go … I have not made up my mind on buying one. Its not my top priority at the moment but the fact that its pink and it would suit well with my iPod Touch made buying it very very tempting.
For this edition of Pink Fridays, am posting a photo of one of my chuck taylors … weeeee my size 5 pink chucks one of my faves.
There was a huge Converse sale at SM couple of weeks back, didn’t go there intentionally coz I know I won’t go out of the shop empty handed. With 4 pairs I dont think I need another one. Hehehe
Second week for Pink Fridays and here I am joining again weeeeee. So for this week am gonna post what I want desperately for Christmas.
Saw lots of these pink huggables at Ayala when Kathy and I went looking for gifts for babies. I want one for Christmas, a friend said you can afford one if you want to. I know but its sweetest and precious when its a gift. Won’t you agree?
Pink Mama is having her first edition of Pink Fridays and am joining … you know how I adore pink!!!
So for this meme am showing you the newest addition to my pink collection … my pink Lenovo Ideapad S10. Got this the day before my birthday … as a present for myself.

So I was doing my rounds since its my rest day from work and I came across Continental Fairy’s home and the meme she’s done caught my attention. Lol I love memes so I asked her if I can grab it, she said sure go ahead. Weeeee so here are the rules: each blogger’s gotta share 7 personal snipetts and then pass on the tag to others. Easy eh?
– First is … well my friends at work already know this but here it goes like Ria am a coffee addict too. lol I love spending ample time at Starbucks or if am at home I have this mug that holds 2 cups of regular sized coffee.
– Second : Am this addicted to blogging. Its like my stress reliever after all the b*llsh*t at work, the temptations at the gym (lol) and the rigors of grad school. It’s also where I’ve met awesome people round the globe.
Third: I’d swoon if someone ever gives me one of these … lol am not a fan of flowers but this one is special, am a sucker for everything that’s pink so give me one of these and I’ll be forever grateful. (Why did I ever let that out??? lol)
– Fourth: Am addicted to music, if am not at work you’ll see me with my earphones on whenever am alone at the gym, on the streets, at the mall, at home … my notebook’s constantly playing music when am at home. A friend used to call it my bubble zone as often times I prefer it than the company of humans. Yikes!!! there you go.
– Fifth: Am a frustrated skateboarder. To the point that I spent 3 hours every thursday and friday (midnight to 2 or 3 AM) on the streets outside my house to practice when no ones watching. (Pretty embarassing eh?) Since there are no vehicles cruising by I have the streets all to myself.
– Sixth: Am very fickle-minded. Yeah you got that right … I change my mind at the drop of a hat lol … none of my notebooks ever lasted as long as 6 mos … I tire of things easily but most of all what I said an hour ago might not be true the next day. Though I usually keep my promises but on the whole I change my mind every so often.
– Seventh: Sunset, Beach and Travel – I love to travel … people at work can attest to that … am constantly on leave, that I think am already banned lol. Oh well … there you go. Seven things I never thought I’d spill out. Am passing this tag onto these beautiful people :
* Bena
* Mitchy
* Eds
* So Real
And oh if you ever wanna grab it … feel free to do so.
23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!
“Friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.”- I got this somewhere online I can longer remember the site … and its been my favorite since then.
