I was going to upload a picture of tocino but thought that I have a lot of those as of now so my canned meat and scrambled egg from two days ago will do. It rained last night and it was a little warm this afternoon. But it still smells like rain so the cool weather might go on a little longer. Dinner tonight was monggo and fried fish; just because it is Friday. I polished my plate off, drank my Yakult and made myself a cup of decaf. It's time to work now so that's about it.  Ta-ta!

oh it is cold now. windy and cold. i want to go to bed and hide under the covers. i have goosebumps. and there are mosquitoes.

hello. it is tuesday. i have a lot of things i want to share but need to edit myself before hitting "publish." as this is a journal that i keep reading over and over, i want to it to be light and happy {informative even that i made a 'reminder' tag because my memory's not so sharp as i would like to think} to keep me in good spirits. i can add "rant" to the words that i'm sick of reading, to be honest, and if i use that word again, kmn. mice update moving on, i still use my battery hog of a mouse . i haven't put in a new battery yet since 1-27-12. surprised? of course not. the old ps/2 mouse is the workhorse and the wireless batt-hog only gets to see action if i'm designing {which is like some hours, a number of days every 2 or 3 weeks}. so i save battery money and i know now that using 2 mice at the same time is a-ok. while it's not the setup i hoped for, it's not a huge hassle. brimming with what oh my, the head is brimm...

yummy find from one of the neighborhood supermarkets {um, robinsons} - frey chocobloc dark mini. the more or less 50-peso pack has 4 individually-wrapped bittersweet dark chocolate pieces so that's more packaging than chocolate, no? i wonder if they sell it in big blocks too.

browser crash my old mozilla firefox browser started crashing last week. i can't pinpoint what's causing it yet but i suspect one of my browser apps. so it was time for {a dreaded} an update; but its newest version did not work with my current ff so i needed to update the browser too... toinks! updated but not fixed after updating everything last night {though fairly quick and easy. nothing appears to be missing. so after a few tweaks, i'm up and running}, i went to bed feeling ok about it. then the browser crashed again tonight, ugh! i'm starting to think it's random but something's unstable and i still suspect the same app/add-on. so until they roll out an update with the fix, i'll have to bear with it as it's not like i can disable it and move on - "it" is the password manager so it is pretty important. 4/29/12 update: problem appears to be fixed on march 25, i followed this fix from mozilla support . i remembered that the crashes star...

when will i learn not to zoom for a picture? LOL all the broken sets were picked up Saturday morning; one was fixed and returned that evening. they put that in their room so my tv is back! yay! that was quick so i did not miss it too much.

i had lunch with friends last week and we had a fun time catching up. someone brought this box of purdy's and it was... nom, nom, nom.

Last night, I suggested that they take my small, crt tv to the other room; their flatscreen broke kasi. They said they'll get theirs fixed so I'll get mine back {no mention of when though}. Now we have a sort of tv purgatory outside -- three tv's in line for repair. I'm not kidding. Sure we can argue wear and tear but... {sigh} OK I'll stop there. I'm just going to say that I hope to get my tv back in good working condition. {Sure it's ordinary, small, crt; but it's LG and barely a year old.} Besides, they're paying for digital so they need a better tv than that to get their money's worth.

my brekkie a few days ago. ham and egg yumminess. next time, will try not to break the yolk {or maybe they like it dry}. we have this adorable one-egg pan that makes cooking eggs fun; but we use the wide pan when we need to cook more than that. we don't want to waste gas -- speaking of which, lpg costs so much now. it's like over 700 pesos for a small tank now! {sigh}

i had visitors yesterday and we had a fun afternoon; a very welcome break.
 we ordered in {should start ordering more than we need}, nibbled on purdy's {i took a picture, will upload soon} and fresh bananas. i only managed to sleep an hour the night before but i caught up on missed sleep today so that's great. see, i rarely make plans for lunch but when i do, i try not to sleep before or i won't make the date {i'll just sleep through it! not good!} i just had my afternoon coffee and i'm watching tv. fyi, i slept 12 hours straight {properly caught up, oh yes, and i feel fine}. LOL
 ok off i'll go to freshen up now. will have dinner {is that spaghetti?} and then start the day's work on the computer. 
happy sunday!
