my attempt to spread the holiday cheer: new skin

HO! HO! HO! yes, a Christmas skin :) time to spread A LOT of holiday cheer :) sadly, though. i'm still not feeling that much holiday cheer this year although i'm in (unofficial) vacation mode. Oblation Run today but i didn't go to school because it does not interest me to see a couple of lunatics running around naked. i've seen it once (in freshman year, of all years) and that's about it. it's UP tradition to look forward to the annual Run by the Alpha Phi Omega brotherhood so at least i saw it once in my college life. tsk tsk. anyway, Dr. Mateo mentioned yesterday that official end of classes for the year is supposed to be Friday but as tradition has it, it's usually after the Oblation Run. so tomorrow there are no more classes (at least for us DSS people) but there's the block Christmas party which i am tasked to decorate the conference room our block rented. food. food. food. i still don't know what the plans of my friends are since we're sharing what we're going to bring. we're supposed to cook cheesesticks and other finger foods. must contact them immediately. otherwise we'll just order something tomorrow. aside from that, i'm still thinking of how to decorate the conference room. must go to the mall immediately in the morning (as soon as it opens! HAHA!). otherwise we'll have a bland conference room for a party.

anway, i just did something stupid that i shouldn't tell because it will make me look stupid but i need to vent so...

i accidentally deleted all the songs in my Mini.

GAHHH! all 800+ songs. technology. sometimes you love it, other times you absolutely hate it for making your life miserable. thank goodness it's just a Mini and not the 20gb ipod or else i'd literally pull the hair off my scalp! it's time for another trip to U.M. to hoard mp3 cds and make back-ups of my music files on iTunes just in case this happens again. too bad :( all my alternative music files (the playlist that i listen to 80% of my sound tripping time) are gone and i don't have back up copies because i borrowed the cd from Ina who is now a million miles away. grrr.

oh well! i'll leave you with a photo. :)


brightly lit parols for sale along a makati street. i had to take a picture of it because it was a beautiful sight. too bad this picture does not give the beauty any justice.
