Technology is really driving a lot of change in our world today.  I remember just a decade ago there were still a lot of box-type Lancers going around.  Nowadays, a 5-year old car is considered “old”.  Models are coming out left and right.  More so with anything computer related.  We recently upgraded our desktop and my husband spent less than Php15,000 to bring it to a one generation-behind specifications.  I don’t know anything about the insides of a computer but having heard components like SATA hard drives and SCSI hard drives or SCSI drives (whatever!) and had him decide on everything.  The only thing I wanted to hear was that he discount hard drives from the store, at a bargain.  And these were all brand new!  Imagine the savings if you’re not an early adaptor – just wait a few months and its sure savings.

Tagging Maybelle, Peachy, Jane, Toni, and Nice.

I am very fortunate to be working in our family-owned company for almost a decade now (To tell you the truth, I really didn’t want to join when my dad first asked, but then he gave the talk and so the rest was history). The business is running smoothly, thanks to my father’s very capable hands and a great management team. In spite of being in the family business, I’ve been thinking of setting up a business that leans towards the beauty industry. On top of head, I’m thinking of a small-scale spa or nail salon since I love going to both Honestly though, I don’t have much capital to invest on it so it’s either I secure a few Business Loans or acquire the mom as a partner and have them fund the business I guess the better choice is obvious .

I didn’t really understand the meaning of that phrase until I experienced it last week. Yes, it was my first Disney experience and the moment I stepped inside the gates, I felt giddy happy like a little child .

Could you tell that Manu was awestruck by the Disney experience? Um. Baby, the camera’s over here!

According to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood types.

I’m a type A. I definitely like harmony, peace and organization. I veer away from violent confrontations and like to settle things in a nice, “cool” way. I do work well with others, though sometimes I prefer to work alone, especially if a co-worker gets on my nerves . Sensitive, I am very. Patient? Gats wouldn’t agree . Affectionate? In this area, he would. I may be stubborn but I’m always always relaxed.

TYPE O
You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal, passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealousy and a tendency to be too competitive.

TYPE A
You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness and an inability to relax.

TYPE B
You’re a rugged individualist, who’s straightforward and likes to do things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.

TYPE AB
Cool and controlled, you’re generally well liked and always put people at ease. You’re a natural entertainer who’s tactful and fair. But you’re standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.

What about you Thea, Jody, and Jammy?

In our latest trip to Hongkong we went to two malls that’s really quite far from the hotel we were staying at. Since we had Manu with us, we thought long and hard as to the best means of getting from point A to point B. It turns out that the MTR was still our best bet. Manu was so excited being an avid fan of “Thomas and Friends”, as it was his first time to ride the “train”. What we didn’t know was how to pay for our trip as my family has never ridden in the MTR before, while I totally forgot how to as the last time I rode it was during the turnover. Gats rode the subway before but that an entirely different rail system altogether. Arriving at the station we all looked for (token) coin dealer/changers or dispensers, what we found instead were vending machines dispensing passcards. That literally was the hardest part about the commute. The rest was such a breeze. We’ll definitely ride the “train” again because of our nice experience.

We had a 6:30am Cathay Pacific flight so that meant we had to be at the airport at least by 4:30 am (thank goodness, my mom was still able to check-in online the last minute, else we would’ve been there by 3:30am!). Just had 2 1/2 hours of sleep but I don’t think I and my little boy looked like it eh?

Manu slept right after take off so Gats and I didn’t have a hard time keeping him busy. By the way, he already had his own seat! I know I asked the dad to take a picture of him - with seatbelt and all - but apparently, he didn’t. None showed up in the digicam nor the Holga. Tsk tsk!

We arrived at our hotel earlier than the regular check-in time so we left our luggages and headed for lunch at — HAPPY GARDEN! I couldn’t wait to eat their pork asado again! Yummeee! And so Gats and I led the way to our faaavorite Chinese restaurant. We walked.. and walked.. and walked further.. and walked some more.. Wait a minute, where is it?! Gats decided to ask one of the shop attendants along Canton Road, and to my disbelief, he said that Happy Garden just moved out of the place a few weeks back! Waaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!! My pork asado dreams are overrrrrrr! Waaaaaaaaaah!!!!! No worries. My friend will find it for us! Anyweyzzz. We just settled with the nearest Chinese resto. The food was not a dissapointment, as you can see Manu seemed to enjoy the experience.

But I still want my Happy Garden pork asado!!!!

Wala nakong magawa so sleep na lang ako.

{my little boy and i getting cozy and about to go to sleep. we will not wake up until 4 hours after}

I’m giving this badge to Gracie, Vannie, Pat, Peachy, and Apols

Moving into our condo my in-laws gave us some wines to celebrate the occasion. Problem is Gats and I are not wine drinkers. That was three (3) years ago. And the last three Christmas’ we’ve been bombarded with various alcoholic drinks as gifts – thereby doubling our stash of wines and spirits. We’re already tempted to start opening and trying out some bottles but not really gotten to it. Plus, they’re just sitting atop a kitchen cabinet – I think we’ll need some wine racks for them as well. I think we’ll make it our personal project to start learning how to drink wine before next Christmas

It seems like almost every product has used texting as a means of getting more attention. I don’t know if you’ve all seen this but things like insurance, personal loan, debt consolidation loans, salary loans and the like are being sent left and right in the hopes of getting potential customers. I don’t know if the shotgun approach if very effective but at Php 1.00 per customer, I guess it’s a cheaper way of getting your message across.
