I just decided to post here since it has been a long time since my last post.  Anyway, life is good don't worry.

I can't think of anything to post yet. Just click this link. Have a good long weekend. =)

The infrared adapter of my officemate can be borrowed anytime.  I got disappointed on my Nokia 6610i because though it has infrared, I can't use any infrared adapter to connect it to a PC for me to be able to transfer my phone's data to my PC. My phone's memory is almost full. It is time consuming and it is five pesos per photo if email my photos from my phone to my PC. I certainly don't want to delete those photos in my phone.  The only way that I know that will help me transfer those files is to buy the DKU-5 cable. It is a serial to USB cable.  

I only found one on the internet. Because I am apprehensive in paying online using my credit card, I just told myself that I will just wait for the time that our local stores will have it. After a year,luckily, last week, it just entered my mind to look for it at SM Megamall Cyberzone.  First store-- Wireless, they have it. Yes!! Then I immediately ask how much is it... 800 pesos. It is cheaper than buying an infrared adapter that doesn't work with my phone.. I am telling myself go..go.. buy it ..Then I ask them if they accept credit card payments (because as of that time, I don't have any cash).. aThe agent told me,"NO". I am already thinking about introducing myself. Hehe ang kapal ko... Anyway, actually, they are one of our suppliers and if I will look for the manager I certainly will be able to pay in credit card or be given  further discount. But I didn't bother.. ang yabang ko naman saka para naman ako kawawa nun nuh walang cash.  Kaya kahit gusto ko na talaga makabili saka na lang. I don't know maybe because it was nearly closing time, and it would be tedious for them to accept credit card payment for just a cable. Hayy so ayun hindi pa ako nakabili that day.
 
So I did my usual canvassing from store to next store.  It seems the DKU-2 cable that is used by higher- end phones are the ones being stocked by the stores. Sabagay baka naisip nila yung mga mura lang ang phone, maaring kaunti lang din sa mga yun ang may PC kaya mahina ibenta ang DKU-5 cable.  It seems "Wireless" is the only one with a stock. So I am both happy and sad. Happy, because at least I know there is a local supplier; but also sad, because I have to wait for our sweldo time for me to have cash. So now, that it is sweldo time, I immediately rushed to Wireless. I was very excited and a bit worried. What if they don't have stock already?! I am expecting the worse so as not to be disappointed again. Luckily they have it on stock. They can replace if it is not working since it has a one month warranty. Not bad for a cable.

Yey!! It is already in my hands. I immediately rush home and now I have my photos on my PC already. At long last!! From phone to PC, now it is time for me to upload it from my PC to the internet. That's it. I just blog to make use of the time because it takes a while for the pictures to be uploaded. I actually give up uploading it here at i.ph..

I'll just upload it on my multiply account.

It is really hard for me to let go.  I just don't know I've grown so attached already to the puppies of my dog.  These four puppies are already 3 months. Because aside from them we also have four dogs, our leftovers are not enough to feed them all.  We have to give the puppies to our friends and neighbors.  Hayy that is why sometimes I don't want to be this attached to them because I know someday they will be gone. But they are so adorable. Because I've seen them from the time they were all covered with sac, their eyes were still close, still couldn't see where to suck, they can't walk yet and now they need food already.  I don't want them to be undernourished because they will only be sharing our leftover.

They will surely be missed. I just hope their next owner will love them as we did. I hope these puppies won't feel rejected that they were given away. I just hope they will still be happy.  I know they won't be able to recognize me someday when they become a dog already. 

So what I need to do is just learn to let go.  I can't say to myself that they are just puppies because I have been so attached to them.  But I know it will be so selfish keeping them. I know they will be healthier when we give them to those who can feed them well. Hayy poor me..

I've seen a profile at friendster with 505 friends?? Now I don't know what is their maximum. 

Anyway, right now I feel guilty not accepting a friend request.  Because that person has tried to request for two times already at different intervals.  I am not accepting him because who will recognize him when her header pic is just a sketched eye with a caption "makuha ka sa tingin", I can't view his profile too. I don't know if he knows me or I know him but I know two people with the same name. So I just send him a message asking him who he is but I said I am sorry for asking. Now I don't know why I feel guilty sending him a message like that. But if he is really my friend, he will understand.  It shows in my number of friends, only 99, that I am choosy on whom to accept as my friend. If I don't recognize you, I can't even view your profile, and you don't even send a message to introduce yourself, I am sorry for not granting the friend request.  I am also protecting not only my privacy but the privacy of my friends whose profile can be viewed by those linked to me. I just hope I know that person so he won't mind and at least I could make up to him.

Though I am choosy on whom to approve, I am patient in looking for my friends to add up.  Because it is an accomplishment for me to find people I've lost contact for a long time. But guess what I've added recently?? A blogger.  He is the third blogger I added as friend. The first one was Chona, because he is really funny. The second one was Kepwek because I thought Chona and Kepwek are the same person. The third one was Limp. You just don't know how happy I am being accepted as their friend. I send them a message that go with the request so they know that I got to know them thru their blog and also express my appreciation.  I am happy getting to know people thru their blog and being accepted on their Friendster is another plus on getting to know them more. Ang saya!

End ko na to, I should be sleeping now.

Our neighbor died due to old age this Monday, Oct. 24, 2005. She is not an ordinary neighbor because she used to take care of us when we were in grade school when my parents were not home yet due to work. My siblings and I used to go to their house when we were little because only her and her brother lives there. Both of them were single and old.  She treated us like we were her grand kids. When her brother died, her other relatives decided to live with her so there will be someone to take care of her.  We stopped seeing her that time because we were already busy with school. But she still visited us once in a while to sell us fruits from her avocado tree and tablea from her cacao tree for her to earn extra money.   

A month ago we visited her in her house because my mother told me that she was hospitalized days before our visit because she couldn't breath.  Though she was already well when we visited her because she could already walk, what we noticed was that "ulyanin na siya". But I am glad that she still remembers me. 

When it was the time that I told her I would be going home already, her sentences made me think, she told me she will accompany me so that my parents won't be scolding me for going home late.  I actually don't remember being scolded by my parents for going home late when I was little. Ang tagal na siyempre nun kaya hindi ko na matandaan. Ang alam ko lang nung teen pa ako-- oo. It made me think because she was so worried and she was insisting that she would accompany me to explain to my parents why I went home late. Actually, that was not late yet because it was only around 7 pm.  Sigurado masyado siyang nagke-care sa amin pag napapagalitan kami nung  bata pa kami kaya tumatak sa isip niya yun. Sa akin hindi ko na matandaan.  Kaya nalungkot ako talaga. Last na pala naming pagkikita yun.

Nalulungkot lang ako kasi siya natatandaan niya pa talaga noong bata pa ako kahit ulyanin na siya. Ako di ko na halos matandaan. Ang natatandaan ko lang yung feeling ko na lola ko rin siya.

Hindi ko alam paano ko ito tatapusin,  basta sana masaya naman siyang namatay.

I wish I always have my digicam with me. My cameraphone has a poor lens.  If only I have brought my digicam, I would have photographed the beautiful fountain in front of PICC last night.  All I have is the memory of how beautiful it is and the feeling that I would want to spread my arms and hop encircling the area if only there were no other people sitting around it.   We passed by the area to get to the anniversary concert of a local radio station. Actually, if it weren't for the traffic we would not be able to walk that way.  My boyfriend and I just decided to walk from Vito Cruz to PICC because of the traffic.  When I couldn't breathe anymore because of the suffocating smell of gasoline from the orange jeepney we are riding to go to the CCP complex, we decided to walk together with other commuters who I think were going to baywalk because of another party sponsored by another network. I was already irritable because of the traffic but when I saw the fountain, it seems I feel rewarded because of our decision to walk instead.

Maybe if I have brought my digicam I would have waited for the sunrise too since Manila bay is just a walk away and it is near sunrise when the event finished. 

It was a great night watching the bands. Kudos to wls fm for a great line up of bands.  They made the right decision to have the event be held at the PICC forum because of the great and participative crowd. You can also  just loiter around or sleep at the back under the cold airconditioned place. Transportation was not a problem too though it is already around 4:30 in the morning when we decided to go back home.  But I wish I could show you some pictures but I regret not bringing a digicam with me. Yshie led us to the spot near the stage where we could have asked the artists to pose for us for a picture but unfortunately my digicam was not with me.

Yeah sayang talaga but anyway I have my memories, the feeling, and the energy of last night's event documented in my head just felt sorry not being able to share (at least) the pictures with you. 

This week is just a usual week. I wake up not minding what time is it because I just want to follow what my body is telling me. If it is telling me that my sleep is not yet enough, I close my eyes again.  My mood is really dependent on my sleep. This I am trying to avoid but this is my weakness.  That is also the reason why I am always late for work. But I am thankful having a boss who understands that people have different "time zones" for productive work. 

My day starts with replying to emails, checking if forwarded emails must be sent back to the sender (to avoid any tampo on his/ her part), checking friendster and multiply messages, returning phone calls, follow up on pending quotations or deliveries, then take lunch.

In the afternoon, I report to my boss as the need arises then in between I check on some blogs. Most of the time, I am glued to my PC to finish the task which I will report on Monday.  Actually this week passed smoothly.  I got disappointed (as usual) on wrong deliveries, delayed quotations, rush requests but those were things I learn how to cope with. Just complain to them then make them realize that you need help. Hehe.  That is something I learn in this job, you must not always prove that you are invincible because there are people who will push you to your limits once they know that you are not easily defeated. Once they know that your job is too easy for you they will request things on the last minute. I really don't know why there are people like that. I don't know why there are people who don't make things easy for others. I pity those people, they are so insecure that others will have a smoother path that what they have passed.


One thing I think puts a mark on me this week aside from having spoken with Gina again is the bulletin of another friend.  It is something I didn't expect from him.. the title of his bulletin post is "Kung friend talaga kita".. He quoted how important his friends are to him.  Then he is requesting for a testimonial.. My old testimonial together with other testimonials for him were deleted by a ruthless hacker almost a year ago.  Because I already made one before, I didn't bother making one again.  For me too, if you want a testimonial be made for you, make one first for your friends. I don't do testimonials except for those who have sent one to me first .  It is saddening that those wo asked me to give them one, are the ones who didn't reciprocate.  Hayy feeling ko tuloy ang "friendly user" naman nila.  Anyway, that friend is a good friend to me so I made one for him and I hope others will follow too because that was sad, he has to post that pa sa bulletin..

Anyway, I look forward to next week . Thanks to Gina who makes time for me though she is at Italy, to Maricel who is at Cavite who shares her PC with her boss but still YMs me and to Jofil who is always there asking me out but our schedules never meet.  Anyway, I sometimes feel alone having my friends in a distant place especially at times like this when the long weekend is near and that means I'll be away from the PC and no contact from them too .. but anyway before sadness creeps in I 'll just finish this post. 

I already disconnected my Globe postpaid account last September. Actually, I should have done that last January since my two years contract was already finished since that time.  My sister has been using that account that is still under my name for a year already since I already applied for a Smart account last year too. Actually, I could have stayed with Globe if I only I receive a new cellphone after two years of being locked with it.  It was frustrating because I always pay on time and I am paying them almost twice the amount of my G-text plan and they are saying I didn't qualify to receive a new phone. It is unfair because if you apply for a new line, you could get a new phone.  Although it is a hassle to have a new number and you'll be tied up again for two years. 

I received the latest bill and I overpaid a certain amount that is less than 1 thousand pesos.  Because I have applied for a new line for my other sister, I told the customer care agent to check if I can just credit the payment to my other bill since I already disconnected the other line.  Then I told him that it is saddening that I was not able to get the Rewards promo. He checked my account and he told me that I have a reward of five thousand pesos.  Good thing that I asked him about it.   I would not have known about it if I failed to ask. One of my officemate emailed that promo but I almost have let that slipped away if not for that agent. I am thankful to that agent that he suggested that I just have my line reconnected.  I have the option of claiming it thru Bill rebates that means the reward will be divided into 12 and that amount will be credited on 12 equal payments to my bill. I can have it converted to G cash which will be credited to my account quarterly for a year. The last option is use it as a discount for a cellphone if I want to buy a new unit.  The bill rebate I think is the best choice for me because first, I don't intend to use G-Cash and the price of the cellphones Globe is offering is high compared to other sellers.   I am really glad because thru its bill rebate, I'll just be paying less than 100 pesos if I don't exceed my P500 G-text plan. Anyway, I am waiting for the reconnection of my line within 24 hours.

I hope I have made a good decision instead of having it disconnected.  Good thing that I was able to check my account if it qualifies with their promo. I still  have until Oct. 31 to avail their offer. Anyway, that's a.. I already want to sleep.
