Slippery floors, I am almost sure, are going to be the end of me. Curse slippery floors! I went to the bank last week and the building looks fairly new. The moment I stepped inside, I swear, I became so terrified because I almost slipped. Well, it wasn't obvious or anything - I did not scream or make a scene. It's just that when I put my weight on one foot, I slid for a bit but I caught myself quickly - thank goodness! I already walk slowly (and carefully) under normal circumstances but walking inside this bank took longer than when I talked to the clerk which was very annoying - the walking on their slippery floor part, not the talking with the clerk part. Anyway, next week, I will be going back. This time, I will be wearing shoes with better traction... I just HATE slippery floors!!! And what's with the ramps with slippery tiles on them? Seriously, if buildings are going to have ramps, at least layer them with the non-slip stuff. I think that they only add ramps to buildi

I bought a better headset last month from a friend because our old A4Tech one was LOUSY (to say the least!). The old one costs a little over 300 pesos which goes to show how much I got out of it which wasn't a lot! After a few months, the fit gave way and I was already pressing the earphones to my ears just so I would hear better with it. That made some of my transcription work harder than they should be, for sure. It would also slide off my head when I would accidentally tug its cable. It was stressing me out so when my friend asked if I wanted to buy a used, good-quality headset... it was kismet! I immediately decided that I was going to go for the offer even if I haven't seen it yet... Well, not totally because I wanted to make sure that the fit was perfect and everything worked well, of course. When my friend brought it over so I can test it out, I did everything to see if it was all right. So, the fit was good. It was a bit tight at first but now, it feels better on my ear

I just wanted to say that I had some junk food tonight but the word "junked" sounded (and looked) more interesting so I used that. LOL Ate half a can of Pringles Crisps and Coke Light while I watched some dancing competition something show with someone. I think that I ate too much because I don't really remember what I saw and I kept popping potato crisps in my mouth. I do remember putting them on my tongue the "right way". I think I saw it on "Good Eats" - that Pringles chips were intentionally shaped to follow the tongue's curve so that we can eat it with one bite or something. I pulled a double (yeah, like shifts apply when you're working from home! HAHA!) this (just passed) weekend. Submitted a transcript too, two days before the deadline - woohoo!!! To be honest, I liked the audio that I got and the amount of time that they gave me to finish it -- they're just right. See, I have scheduled work tomorrow and checking that off my list fee

Here's one kind of brownie from the Brownies Unlimited assortment. They have their own labeled box now (or maybe they've had those for a while now) but I remember when their assortments came in generic plastic containers. They're doing very well, obviously. A six-brownie pack from Brownies Unlimited used to cost 90 pesos many years ago. I wonder how much they cost now. By the way, there are 12 brownies in their label box... or maybe I'm just way off the mark on this signature-box theory. They've probably been using that for the 12-brownie pack all this time. Shows how much I know about what's going on in the big, outside world of brownie manufacturers, huh? The second agenda on this post is Globe music. And no, it's not about "world music". It's about my mobile service provider's (Globe) WAP music store. I'm going to start from what happened this morning... very, very early, this morning: I had to check my email but I was still very sle
