dying hard drive needs divine intervention

I hate how my laptop's usual activities are diminishing because of my SUCCUMBING HARD DRIVE MEMORY. GRR. I can't even transfer tons of photos a day because I always get the "Low Disk Space" bubble on my screen. It's annoying. How am I supposed to do away with tons of photos? Maybe I'll just burn them into DVDs to free up some space. I hate it! I NEED AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE PRONTO. Hay.

I've been having a hard time sleeping lately no matter how tired I am. I hate it. It doesn't help that my parents like to barge into the room in the morning EVERY SINGLE DAY. But what can I say? They're only here for a few weeks left and every minute I spend with them is precious. I am a shallow sleeper, you see. The faintest of sound you make while I sleep will stir me up from my deep slumber and then I'll have a hard time falling back to sleep again. And it gives me headaches when finally I've given up trying to lull me to Zs.

It's been raining all afternoon. I wish I could just stay home but I can't.

Onto the good news, the PLDT guy dropped by yesterday to fix my constant- disconnetion-from-the-internet problem. He replaced everything (router, wires, phone line, EVERYTHING!) so I have better connection now. Save for rainy days like today when I still get disconnected from time to time. Other than that, everything's running smoothly.

I hope everyone's having a good day!

A Few Things

. I don't feel well, my tummy is sick.
. My curls are not so curly anymore, I want to get it redone.
. My sister's wedding is FAST APPROACHING like a bullet train. I'm excited but nervous too because I haven't written my M.O.H. speech and I also need to write a prayer before the reception.
. Props to me for getting several things off my to-do list yesterday. Props to Alej for helping me too!
. I'm excited for my sister's (surprise) bachelorette slash bridal shower!
. I need a part time job that I can juggle with school.
. I NEED TO GET MY BUTT OFF THIS CHAIR SO I CAN CONTINUE STUDYING.

KK. Bye!

saturday shmaterday

I met up with Ate Mia and Maika today for my sister's bachelorette. We had lunch at Gram's Diner (MOA) and I ended up stuffing my face with roast beef and pasta pomodoro. It was yummy but it was already warm when it was served. We had to ask the waiter to reheat the food again because it just killed the appetite. And we had milkshakes too. Blech. I was so stuffed that my tummy ached when I stood up and walked. I'm not complaining, though. I LOVE FOOD.

BUT...my sister's wedding is like two weeks away. I only had my FIRST fitting about a month ago and during this time the designer had to ask his assistant to adjust the top and the gown to make it tighter because I lost weight. Now I'm scared because the designer might end up adjusting the gown to make it looser because I feel that I gained weight. YELP!

I'll just have to spend a little overtime at the gym if I have the time because next week is going to be a busy week for this household.

It's either I really gained weight or it's almost "that" time of the month. The reasons for my fretting. Haha. Sorry I'm such a bubblehead.

I also got my new glasses and I'm wearing them more often now. I no longer squint and I am surprised by how everything is clearer now. Yey! I didn't see my eye doctor for THREE YEARS and it turned out that the old eyeglasses that I was wearing weren't my correct eye grade because I only had those checked at the optical store.

Anyway, I hate MOA. It's too big yet it still gets too crowded on weekends. Or maybe because it was the second day of the 3-Day Sale which we all didn't know. GRRR. And National Bookstore should get their act together because I HATE THEIR SERVICE. THEIR SERVICE SUCKS. Their salesladies should learn how to smile and they should do their job which is TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS not just direct them to "the shelf over there" when I already checked and THERE'S NO CORK BOARD OVER THERE. GRRRR.

message not sent

To misunderstand is entirely different from not even TRYING to understand.
What's the difference? One word- EFFORT.
When you misunderstand a person, at least you TRIED to understand. The effort was there, it just didn't work. Not trying to understand, on the otherhand, means that you completely shut off your mind from even TRYING to understand.

It's Back

I can't sleep. I just downed a mug of warm hot chocolate and I hope I feel drowsey soon. So this blog is back! No matter how I try to give this up I still can't. Look at the archives, I've had this since 2003! That's five years! How can I let go of five years? Plus, I realized that I rant better here.
