i'm beginning to dislike these words - 'musings' and 'mode'. I'm not taking the barrage of technological updates so well. Browser updates, for example, are a bother when one has scripts and apps that have to catch up in compatibility before one can upgrade. Needless to say, i must only manually update them after a very long while. Case in point, my friend has an ipod touch that can't play any of the new apps from itunes because they're 'not compatible' with her device. It's the gen thing that pisses her off. They should at least be backwards compatible, we think. And if she'd waited a few months before buying her 32-gig touch, she would've gotten one with a camera on it. Dang. Lent 'the hobbit' out to someone dear. I hope they like reading it. Heard that they're filming the movie currently. It's something to look forward to, i guess. Then again, it's not like i can just get up and go watch it when it comes ou

Here's some yummy menudo I had the other day. Been purging papers here. I've gotten rid of receipts and other docs from '06, goodness knows I need the space. Still, ripping papers by hand is a chore and all the while I was wishing I had a shredder. All in all, I managed to fill three medium-size garbage bags with all that trash. But with all that work, my room doesn't look any different. Oh crap.

updated symbian device from opera mini 5 to mini 6 and, wow! Nice improvements - loads faster, contents wrap better to screen size, etc. Old feeds are gone though, will have to subscribe to them again, but otherwise, it's all good.

Thank you, rsun[dot]com[dot]ph ! Online transaction was quick. No-muss, no-fuss. Here are the details: 1 - Registered and placed online order Tuesday night - for delivery, payment via weepay. 2 - Received confirmation that item's available with weepay link (that included shipping fee) 15 minutes later (still Tuesday night). That's what I call having a dedicated team manning their online store, bravo! 3 - Paid for it online Wednesday night . Got a couple of confirmation emails immediately after that. They have a diligent system in place, to say the least = builds buyer confidence, well, it built my confidence! 4 - Received shipping info Thursday afternoon . 5 - Finally, item received Friday morning . Dun, dun, dun.... period. RSun puts that other weepay merchant to shame! That other store, I've written down my disappointment about it all in a previous post (just this February). Very glad that RSun (dot com dot ph) is around. [ UPDATE: They're not aroun

It is cold tonight. Been breaking in a new pair of MSE (Marikina Shoe Exchange) slippers. Its straps are not as snug on my feet as I would have liked but I'll get used to them, eventually. My current pair is also from MSE, bought back in 2007. They're still sturdy as can be but I figured I'd buy a spare just in case. Shame they don't sell the style of my old slippers anymore. If I knew they'd phase it out, I would've bought two pairs back in '07 -- seriously, I think these old ones will hold out for another four years or longer! Well, I hope so. [smiles]

Today's brunch. I had a dream about tocino the other night. The dream was that I was thinking of buying a pack, guessing its cost, and figuring out where to buy some. So, you can imagine how nice (surprising!) it was to see that someone cooked pork tocino earlier and thoughtfully saved me a few slices.

Taho tastes good, hot or cold.

looking forward to eating taho later! but it will be cold. i can't remember if i like it cold though. hmmm. it could be very yummy or not so much. will know later, i just hope they don't forget to buy me a glass.

beats writing down what i eat for the nutritionist. that is if i have one.
