Tucking in to this dry cake was not very pleasant. It looked fine but it was dry. The chocolate layer was tough. Not a good dessert, unfortunately. The cake wasn't from any store (or so I've been told) so I have no one to name guilty for this dry, dense course. A can of Coke helped it go down easy, though. Putting my mturk earnings into fine use last week, I placed orders for another book and a CD on Amazon. Apparently, the production of this particular CD has been discontinued so I was more than eager to place an order with a merchant who had it at a very good price. I can't wait to get these things which, I think, will be by the end of August when someone comes home from their holiday in America. My nieces' birthdays are coming up too. I find it difficult to shop for children. I've only NEVER given presents to other kids. If I did, it was just shelling out my share for a big present with my friends - I didn't take part in deciding what to buy with it. I guess

A weatherman said that the weather we're having is not at all normal. After complaining about the scorching heat a week ago (I think), we immediately started to get these insanely strong showers and cool temp. Like last night, I heard thunders that were too close to one another. It was a curious and scary thing to hear... Well, more curious than scary really. News reported that we were not having any storms or typhoons. They said that what we're experiencing is an odd low-pressure thing - probably due to climate change. Yes, it is quite strange...

Yes, I'm angry. Last night, our Internet connection (PLDT DSL) went out for over 30 minutes. Today, it happened again! Dammit! I should have seen this coming. Last month, it happened for the first time. There are three indicator lights on the modem and the middle, red light normally blinks quickly to mean that there's a good connection. Last month, that red light did not blink at all. Of course, I assumed that it was just us so I tried repairing the connection, checked the filter on our extension, took the cable out of the router and directly plugged it in to the PC, restarted everything -- nothing worked. The red light did not blink at all. I was so upset because I had something important due that I just shut if off and asked everyone I knew who use PLDT DSL if they had Internet connection. Unfortunately, no one was home to check theirs out. After an hour or so, it came back. FYI, I did call PLDT and waited to talk to a human being but the connection came back up before someon

The PS2 optical mouse I ordered last Friday (and paid for this Monday) arrived today. Now, I don't have to worry about the old mouse breaking down on me. The old mouse still works but once in a while it acts up. It is now safely tucked away - a back-up, if you may. OK, the online computer shop that I ordered from is OpenPinoy . And they used the courier, LBC and not JRS like I said before. This Cruiser mouse was very cheap (and it was on sale). It's a bit uneven, wobbles on the table but it's manageable. May take a bit of getting used to but it's fine. What's great is that there is a 12-month warranty on this so I've nothing to be bothered about. So, hurrah! It rained again earlier. It is quite nice and cool now. The weather's been tricky lately. Is it rainy season na ?
