Wrong timing that the third installment of the Twilight Saga movie is scheduled to be shown on the day the new President will be inaugurated. June 30 is also the last day of Ane’s day-off from work this week, and we don’t leave K during nights. So however immature it may sound that I am missing history unfold, I choose to catch the movie instead around the same time Noynoy Aquino officially becomes the 15th President of RP ;) I’ll just read the news later, ktnxbye! :D
I suffered from a terrible headache for more than 24 hours. I wasn’t sure if I lacked or had too much sleep, missed my usual Zero fix, or had too much chocolate. But I suspected it could also be my eyes and how ill-fitting my glasses have become, they fall off even if I am not moving. So I tell Ane about this little concern of mine and he suggested that we get me a new pair the next day. Off we went to the mall after dropping our laundry at my in-laws yesterday. My prescription did not change, still at 3.25/3.25 so I guess it’s really the fit. Now I have not one but two pairs of eyeglasses that work like a charm :) The second one is free and cheaper, we only had to pay for the lenses.
And if the new glasses do not work well for me, Ane said he will not buy me new ones. Instead, he will pay for a nose job for me daw. Nyek, Funnneeee! (insert sarcasm here LOL!)
Ben decided it was time to invest his hard-earned money into something that will make him live on interest when he finally retires. Someone suggested that he buy gold coins now because it seems like the market for gold is dynamic at this time. Expert investors believe that gold will reach the price of $2200. This is because the demand’s trend is increasing while mining companies are starting to reacquaint themselves with untouched deposits. So basically, when the demand is high where supply is low, the value of investments also increase. This is the piece of advice Ben received and he will take that advice as soon as he found a gold broker.
So the new Steve Jobs baby was launched in the US and some other countries last week. Sadly my location is not in the First World and does not merit a launch same time as the US. But I digress :) I’m not sure actually if I want one (because I am really eyeing the iPad, you know). If you are someone who wants an iPhone now, maybe you should read first about the early issues about the unit. First, they said that the unit is easily breakable (one fell a foot down and was damaged!) because of the glass body and two, the signal drops if you hold it incorrectly! Apple has not given solutions but suggested unit owners should buy a compatible casing. Hehe.
After three long years, one of my favorite burgers and I met again:
It is not funny when you crave burgers, especially is it is only available on the other side of the world! Sure, I get my burger fix locally usually from McDonalds or Wendy’s and if I’m lucky, we’d drive to Katipunan for Bite Club burgers. But there is something about In N Out burgers that my taste buds want.
And so on June 14, couple of days after independence, my taste buds were liberated! :) Mom brought home some from SanFo and I am so glad the burgers endured the long flight! I’ll never know when the next one will be but I am a happy camper for now. I do not mind waiting another three years but my sister’s family is coming for a visit next year so the waiting game COULD BE shorter! Until then, In N Out! :)
Faye has been spending less time online the past few weeks because she’s been busy prettifying their new townhouse. She and her hubby did most of the interiors themselves, even putting up their flat screen TV with one of those plasma mounts. They recently had the housewarming and we have seen the pictures of their home. I say they did an amazing job! Their crib looks like it came out of the HGTV channel!
I was drooling over a kit by Kay Miller this morning and I could not contain it I had to share it in my Twitter. I tried to stop myself from buying but seeing that the kit is on sale, I could not resist anymore. I bought the kit and did not tell anyone anymore :) I was happy with my purchase and took a nap with K. When I woke up, I checked my email and found a gift certificate for Kay’s store! SAV sent it because she said she just wanted to share her blessings! Maraming Salamat! I was touched by your kindness and generosity and may the Lord continue to shower you and your family with blessings. Really, this world can use more people like you! Mwahugs!
Klaire is going to be attending a party towards the end of the month. I was corresponding with my friend for this party because I was the one who designed the invites. At first my friend wanted to have a Pirates and Fairies themed party. I imagined the little boys to come in pirate costumes while the girls in Tinkerbell suits. But the birthday boy changed his mind and wanted Backyardigans instead. Either way, I am still excited to go because I think K will enjoy parties more at this age :) There’s another party on Sunday, and I am looking forward to that too!
The world seemed to stopped moving this morning, Manila time. Twitter ad FB were flooded with updates about the Game 7 match between LA Lakers and Boston Celtics. No surprise, because the game was really exciting. Celtics started off well but Lakers took the lead in the last quarter. It went downhill for the green clad players towards the last few minutes of the game. And so Lakers won this year’s championship ring! Oh well, there’s always next year for the rest of the teams. :)
The other day, I said I was going to share how our passport application went (renewal for me, new for Klaire). Well, I was able to finish that entry and posted it in my main blog. Hop on over there when you are ready to read a long entry :)
In a nutshell, let’s put it this way: Ane renewed his passport two weeks earlier and he was done in less than one hour. But for K and I, we had the same appointment time as Badong, yet it took us 2.5 hours to finish, not counting the hour that we were there already. So that’s about 3.5 hours and you bet I was grumpy that morning!
How it happened, read here :)
