*UPDATE* Bought a song on mymusicstore on 1st Feb 2012. It was easy peasy and a-OK. mymusicstore.com.ph went live a couple of days ago. it's still in "beta." i have not tried it yet. their database of local and international artists looks good, lots of choices. again - i have not tried it yet - just want to make that clear. i think i'll wait for a FAQ page, more info; a lot of questions need clearing up {i don't see these mentioned in their "terms" as of today}: are these mp3 files? {nakasulat sa terms kanina, "most" are drm-free, sana specify nila} how big is a file; bitrate? how many times can i download my purchase? {what if the connection drops while downloading, diba? it will be disappointing to have to buy again if something goes wrong.} payment methods? {press releases mention paypal, CC and smart money - they should make this clear on their official page, no? kasi when i checked kanina, di agad kita. actually, parang wala ata ak...

yesterday's ham and egg. ahh, i missed posting food pictures and yes, i still go over old entries to look at... old pictures.

when it comes to sugar-free, 3-in-1 coffee mixes, we prefer kdo. but when robinson's supermarket {the only store that carries it in our community, as far as i know} ran out of it this week, we tried the sugar-free san mig mild. smells san mig's tasted ok {kdo is so much better} and it smelled... not very good, unfortunately. i can't describe it really; "metallic" comes to mind. prices a box san mig's costs 10 pesos more than a box of kdo's. san mig is pricier, it doesn't taste so good and the smell is off; ripoff. globe prepaid mms i can't send mms {to email} on globe prepaid anymore. i actually noticed this months ago. i've been getting the time-out error. does this have something to do with kb browsing being unavailable to globe prepaid subscribers? globe did not make any announcements about that {not that i know of} and they should fix the error on their text message "kb browsing is not unavailable to globe prepaid..." LOL....

hungarian ang schublig if you look closely, you might be able to tell that a couple of the slices are darker {hungarian} and the rest are lighter {schublig}. yeah, i couldn't tell at first but they did taste very different. the hungarian was peppery and spicy while the schublig was very mild. boiled then fried i was told they boiled the sausages {whole, probably} before they fried them. they may have been so big that frying alone wouldn't cook it all the way through without burning; i assume, but what do i know?

fish and beans fry a fish then open a can of pork and beans. eat them together with rice. yummy. foodx3 i ate three times tonight: early dinner {see fish and beans above}, dessert {two handfuls of chocolate-covered almonds}, and late dinner {pancit malabon}. pics it would have been nice if i added pictures.

I made an entry last week {Jan 5th}. I didn't post it then because the next day {Jan 6th}, the mouse came back to life. I took the battery out that night and when I put it back in the next day, it worked again. 5th Jan 2012 - technological problem! thumbs down, new mouse ; it was great when it worked. i was prepared to take on this battery hog but then it quits on me 1 month and 3 batteries later; so much for trying to get rid of cables. this ms mouse 3500 just turned me off all wireless stuff for the desktop. who knows how long i'll feel this way about it {drama}. I used a newly-bought "energizer advanced" alkaline then {over 100 pesos for a two-battery pack}. When I turned the mouse on on Jan 6th, the yellow power-indicator lit up a little longer before it faded and the mouse worked fine. I am taking notes because earlier today, January 11th, the mouse's power-indicator lit red before it faded {meaning the battery's running low}. January 6th-11th, that...

happy 2012! hope your NYE/NYD was great! though my 1st day of the new year was baaaddddd... i was sick!!! stop reading now if you couldn't care less because i will start talking about it... now: i suspect it was bad hot cocoa or bad pork on NYE but none of us are sure. it was either GER or indigestion - the nausea, bloating, reflux - it was all yuck. i puked before bed. i vomited in bed {on the bed, to be clear, blech} at 4am, yuck. for the most of january 1st, i was in bed, in the corner with vomit bags, tissues and a trash can beside me. i could not sleep, threw up once before noon and about 3 times {i lost count} within 6 hours in the afternoon. i was sleepy, nauseated and hungry. i thought, "this is it, i'm not going to get any better, we're going to have to go to the ER." early in the evening, i took one capsule of "losec 20mg" for the GER. my feet and hands were clammy too so i drank water with a dissolved tablet of oral rehydration salts - ...
