neglect

having 3 active blogs is not the easiest thing. and i'm thinking my bloggercaps is feeling lonely. awww...

so i'm going to post here now.

well, i was right on time for work today--0858AM! yay me! so right now, i'm technically done with what i'm supposed to be doing. there are a few kinks in it, but it's not really my fault, nor is there anything i can do about it that i know of. i've basically done all that i can do.

good thing i brought along the book i read, and kudos to yahoo for launchcast. and thanks to mitzi too (oh, sorry, melissa) for bringing along her wonderful CDs.

so right now, i'm bored and kind of running low on batteries. i want to skip out early, truly, but i can't. and i want to watch a movie or something, but i don't know if my mom will let me.

running commentary on office life:

me, mitzi, and ian are arguing over who should pass out the rinbee. what if nobody wants it naman pala? :(

ok. now i'm listening to Broadway. later i'll be reading my book. i need a break from my PC.

i had a dream

for some reason, i find it easier and more interesting to blog about my dreams instead of real life. perhaps it's because my dreams are so crazy and maybe it's because i find real life so dull in comparison.

anyway, before i get into too much drama, here it goes:

a member of the family (a kid brother, i think) saw little people. i say "little people" because for some reason, it never occured to me in the dream to call them dwende (dwarves). they were outside the house. for some reason, we had to leave the house for somewhere far away. we were in a rush and i just kept stuffing things in my bag, looking for things and losing things. there were two of the black paul frank bag that i have, and the earrings that i've been wearing for a week are missing. then i think people were coming to look/watch or help. it's fuzzy for me already.

questions

whenever i'm asked to come up with a question in a specific situation, i'm usually stumped. i have a hard time gathering coherent thoughts.

however, at the oddest times, questions pop up in my head, like just a moment ago. and they're pretty much useless. curious and interesting, but useless. mostly, they're just proof that i can come up with questions. here are some of my questions. see if you can answer them:

1. why are cockroaches usually found on their backs after dying from bug spray?
2. i always hear people saying that girls retain water during their monthlies (which is why we get so bloated, right?). does this mean that we pee less?


there was this one question before that none of my friends could answer, but my driver finally coughed it up:
you'll notice that in big, long trucks, the hub caps of the front wheels are sticking outwards while the back wheels are sunken inwards. why? it turns out to be very simple. the back wheels are in pairs, and it makes it easier to bolt them together when their hubs are facing each other. you get it? cool, huh?

meeting the man

i met neil gaiman today. ahahaha. he signed stardust and american gods for me. *dance* stood in line for 7 hours. patience is a virtue. i am so tired. just wanted to record this historic moment.

mr. gaiman is such a wonderful person. his love for his work really shines through. thank you for being so patient with your fans, mr. gaiman! i'll treasure my signed copies forever. i swear they won't end up on eBay.

hand made

jing taught me how to do the bookbinding thing!!! it was 2 am and i was groggy and kinda whiny by 5, but it was totally worth it!!! i love it!!! it's so pretty!!! wow. i'm getting excited. you can tell by the exclamation points. anyway, this is it. i mean, i'm in with jing on this. it's so... fulfilling. haha. sorry if i'm not making too much sense. i'm so sleepy.

first step

"The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." -Lao Tzu

I'm hoping that today is that first step. I'm starting a second-hand bookstore today. It's only open on weekends (I really don't have time during the week), but I have a great selection of books. I really hope that this will succeed so that I can expand and realize my dream of owning a homey second-hand bookstore. It will happen if I want it badly enough and if I'm willing to work hard for it. I just know it. So I just have to keep the will and the drive. So I will. Because nothing will happen if I don't. It took a lot of courage for me to start this anyhow, and although this past week I was filled with a lot of apprehension, I just keep telling myself "I can't stop now. I've invested too much time and effort and money." So the more I invest in it, the easier it will be for me to go on.

Kids, please visit my little store. 70 Vienna St., Merville Park. Open on weekends. Tell me what books you want to see in my stores. I have a pretty good selection. More books next week.

I'm trying not to let all this overwhelm and scare me. I'll take it one step at a time. Good luck to me!

resurrection

i can't believe i still remember my old ICQ number. that is so cool. to date, it has been resurrected twice! unbelievable. and when i looked at my contact list, it's still the same old contact list (except that nobody's online. haha)

i thought about ICQ again when i did an article for mph about mobile messaging. anyway, most of the apps supported ICQ, and i really liked Agile Messenger which supports 5 different messaging accounts (yahoo, ICQ, MSN, AOL, and this other thing I forgot. irrelevant) and then, i decided why not open it up. and i did. i didn't remember the password anymore, but at least i remembered which email address it was under. but my goodness. ICQ. good times. AND it's really really improved. seriously. check it out at ICQ.com.

i've also resurrected my Hotmail account. lol. took me a while to remember my password. by the way, re-activating your account is all it does. your inbox and contacts are wiped clean. i don't have much hope of re-activating my first ever email address: crazy_kt@hotmail.com. they probably wiped that from the database already.

ahhh... good times.

anyhoo, if anyone out there decided to use ICQ again, add me: 150732004. para naman magamit ko yung account! haha.

also get agileMobile. saves a lot of money.
