Had a not-so minor accident yesterday morning. I made the mistake of putting my coffee mug directly in front of my laptop and predictably, spilled coffee all over my beloved.
Tsk.
That woke me up faster that actually quaffing coffee. So for now, my main machine will take a much needed break to dry itself out.
I have no one to blame but myself and trust me, I've been beating myself up because of this accident.
In the meantime, I'm using my spare lappy. Working on a netbook with a puny 10" screen is awesome when you are somewhere else but it ain't that cool when you are at home and staring at it for most of the day. From the looks of it, I might be stuck using it for a good three days. Well, that's okay. I'm grateful that I do not have to dart in and out of internet shops just to work. I mean, this is the main reason why I bought a netbook anyway. I have this irrational fear of my main machine breaking down and if that happens, there is no way for me to work unless I haul my ass to the nearest internet shop. Now I do not have to. Don't get me wrong, my netbook is very efficient but it is very difficult to work on such a small screen. I spend the day squinting and stuff.
Yeah you can enlarge the whole image and texts but it will cramped up everything else, which is even more frustrating. I know I shouldn't be bitching about it but haaay. I'm just, frustrated.
On a totally unrelated note, I'm setting up a good friend of mine for a date with one of my bestfriends from HS (Yes, Roselie, it's you :) ) I thought they would really be great together and I'm surprised this only dawned on me the other day. So both parties said yes and hopefully we can all meet sometime next week. I'm excited because I haven't played the matchmaker in years (Just so you know Rose, I also played match maker to Donna Lambino several years ago, they became an item too so you are good :D ) I'm not pimpin' though. I can just smell a good match and I cannot wait for them to meet hihihihihiih!
Well, at least there's something to look forward to next week. I have a feeling next week will be hellish, work-wise. My boss is being a pain in the ass lately. oh, well.

Rounding Up
Last week was a busy week for me, I spent most of my time darting back and forth to my full-time and part-time gig. It was definitely exhausting. It is as if both my clients decided to shake things up by giving me one new task after another. Hay. I feel so tired.
I went out to see a couple of Angels last Friday. Initially, Paeng and I wanted to watch the movie Iron Man. Yeah it's been out for so long and yet we only managed to find time to watch it last Friday. I was stoked because I really, really want to watch that movie. Unfortunately, my hope was dashed because Rene and his friends wanted to hang out. To cut the story short, we ran out of time and decided to not watch the movie at all. Oh, well.
The El Nino heat is quite punishing, isn't it? I've been breaking out in hives for godknowswhatreason. The humidity is killing me slowly. This is one of those moments where I'm frustrated that I'm no longer working in an office. I've no choice but to (quite literally) sweat it out. My sister does not want me to buy an air conditioner because our neighbors' electric bills hit an all-time high last April and she does not us to suffer the same fate. I couldn't care less but talked me out of it. So there, if I can describe what I've been doing for the past two months, I'd say I've done nothing but sweat like a pig.
To make things worse, my funds is slowly being depleted.It's all my fault, I've been recklessly buying stuff these past few months. This is why I resolve to start saving up. However, the timing is off, we are all set to buy a couch, a bed frame, mattress and a couple of cabinets next month. Well, they are not really that necessary when you come to think of it but I have grown weary at the state of our apartment. I guess I work best when I'm surrounded with beautiful things, hehehehe. And that's the precise reason why I'm so poor right now.
Moving on, my plan to return to an office-based job might be delayed. You see, my job hunting partner isn't really making an effort to update her resume... or do anything for that matter. So I'm left to do stuff alone. I would've been okay with that except I don't really need to find a job right now. Plus I'm saving up. Job hunting meant unnecessary spending. So my plan is to wait it out, save money and hopefully find a really fulfilling job in the months ahead. I've been considering on switching careers but at this point I see no chance of it materializing because I'm a lazy fuck.
Finally, I'm on a diet. An apple diet, to be precise. It's a diet scheme I came out with out of desperation. Basically, whenever I feel hunger pangs, I'd eat apples instead of fattening stuff. I can't even tell you how miserable I am at this point. I guess I inadvertently let myself go once I started working from home. I can't even drag myself to do of exercises like I used to because it is too hot to do anything else. I wish it is rainy season na so that I can exercise and stop the madness.

(Voting) Cherry Popped
I spent a staggering five hours just to vote for the first time. I sure as hell wasn't expecting everything to be easy breezy but five freaking hours in the sweltering El Nino heat is just pushing it. Anyway, I voted and it was awesome. I feel at this point that maybe the new administration would be better than the one we are made to go through for 12 years. I'm a bit shocked that there are still many local celebrities who ran and won in the elections, it's like people never learned anything.
However, the most shocking would have to be Erap placing number two in the polls. WTFH I don't know which part of plunderer people could not understand. I'm quite flabbergasted that he was even allowed to run for the presidency considering he is an ex-con who did nothing but squander money to fund his vices and mistresses. Everything about that guy is fake. Haay, this is probably one of the many reasons why our country will never rise from poverty.
