I have always been a fan of accessories, I don’t wear them often but I though love looking at them. I have this affinity for beaded bracelets and have managed to acquire quite a lot. A friend of mine used to make hand made accessories and sell them at work, her creations were quite a hit since they were all unique and nice looking. She also this knack for finding really cheap and durable beading supplies either online or in the flea market. How she finds the inspiration for her work is beyond me but they’re stunning.
With comes two things according to my aunt I responded saying wisdom and experience. She laughed and said … wisdom and wrinkles and we both ended up laughing. Amongst her friends (they are all in their early 50′s) wrinkles are a common sight except maybe for Aunt Lydia who seemed to have managed to keep them at bay by using one of the best anti wrinkle cream in the market. She must have tried several brands before finding one that seems to work.
They look fascinating but the smell causes rumbles in my breathing so i can only appreciate it from a distant. Several friends of mine are addicted to famous cigars that when someone goes out of the country what they would ask for as presents are these babies. I haven’t been as of late but the next I do I already have this on my “to buy” list. There are websites that sell them online but I am not sure what the stipulations are for purchases outside of the US, customs and all. Well … better wait till I could buy them personally.
Ever since a colleague from work went abroad to work couple of years back it made me want to work abroad too, you know look for greener pastures of some sort. Then last year another team mate moved abroad to Dubai to work and now I am thinking of following suit real soon; I mean people in the country have been going out of the country seeking high paying jobs and I think I should follow suit too. So better hit the net and so some searching.
That has always been her motto when buying things especially for the baby when I accompany her shopping we always look for what she has called safety products which were according to her research undergone tremendous screening by several board of what not. lol She’s what I call OC, to the highest degree, I know we should go for products proven to be safe and all that but to the extent of spending several days doing research before actually buying it is just way overboard.
When you’re friends are first class geeks its really hard to hide things from them especially if those things you wanna hide are in your computer. *sigh* Lets take Sissy for example she was chatting with Lee sometime last week and while chatting she was also browsing several sites making chat responses rather slow, Lee being the geek that he is did something that made him see what was on Sissy’s desktop. So he saw what Sissy was busy googling about New York accident lawyers and this sent a click on Lee’s mind lol, conferencing everyone online including me even though my status clearly said “back off am busy scrapbooking, ping when absolutely necessary” *sigh* Lee Lee Lee you’re a major pain in the a$$.
One of the many things plaguing Suzy’s mind at the moment is getting hold of this product she calls spring plungers which she run across while bloghopping on night. I still don’t get it, what it does, what its for and how much it’d cost but that’s on her current wish list for our annual Christmas exchange gift. *sigh* Now I gotta research and see what I can find … tugs!
This was taken in Baguio last April at Camp John Hay … they have a very beautiful garden with a wide assortment of pretty flowers. This bunch reminds me of two persons who meant a lot to me. First is Lovely, one of my besties and the sister am never blessed to have and second is Te Kate … a friend from work. Funny how we only got closer when mom died and Vic chose her to send his condolences to me. Like Lovely she has accepted the fact that am a brat, childish most of the times and very fickle-minded. Like Mitchy she’s kinda like my big sister on the floor, the kind who never refused to give you 50 bucks when you ask for one coz your hungry and you need to dash to the pantry and grab something to eat. So yeah … am surrounded by good and affectionate people.
Was checking my yahoo mail and since I chose the new mail thingy … it showed automatically the people on my address book who are online, it also showed them that am online. TJ was not visible though he sent a message. The so familiar psssttt … it brought a smile to my face, reminds me of good ol days when he was still on the floor, my mentor and my friend. He asked if I finished my enrollment already (which I have not unfortunately) and what my subjects are. He informed me of his schedule and found out that we didn’t have anything in common. Am planning on taking two majors and one foundation, it prolly is good knowing his a bit insecure gf is with him all the time they’re prolly classmates too.
Remembered what Lex said, the people on the floor seem to link me with someone tall and dark (not charcoal) mind you hehehe, but TJ’s tall and dark and they’re teasing me with D whose also tall and dark … didn’t include the word handsome as that’s very subjective but that’s the case. Dunno how it started with TJ being the mentee and him the mentor we talked a lot and me being the talkative me and him being the silent him it made the whole thing normal. For us it was but it didn’t seem to look that way to others. Next thing we knew we were teased and we could no longer talk in the main chatroom, our conversations via Outlook, normal conversations are being monitored … got a screenshot at one point … our TL created a chatroom just for the both of us, we could no longer go eat lunch together coz that would cause bickering among the team, I was never late for lunch nor do I ever forget my sched coz he was like my human TKS. We almost always have the same lunch and he’d either drop by my station (if he’s seated far away) or would send an email in Outlook reminding me of my lunch. Hehehehe
We’re pretty close proximity wise but not emotionally or mentally, what made me say that? It was a shallow friendship … shallow in the sense that people would always see us together on the floor to the point of being inseparable but we never spoke of anything personal. ‘Twas the usual chitchat about work and school (he wants to take up education and sped), me being licensed to corrupt minds is the perfect person to talk to, though am pretty much useless most of the time as I speak nonsense but we talk nonetheless.
It was not the kind of friendship bound to last a lifetime, it was cool while it lasted. Looking back at it now he was just a plain acquaintance nothing more nothing less. Why were teased I have no clue … to say I liked him would be a lie coz I never did like him. He was just a fwend to begin with just like everyone else.
