Celeteque Traveler's Basics P149 at Watson's via LazadaPH Online I like travel-sized things. Last time I was at Walmart (or another supermarket, I forget) in FL, I spent most of my time in front of a wall with bins of travel size toiletries - baby wipes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, etc - that cost ~$1 each. Too bad I could not see the top bins from my powerchair. I remember that moment, I rolled back and forth in front of that wall taking forever to decide what not to buy.

June 2, 2017, Friday. Lunch after my appointment at DFA Aseana was at Hongkong Chef in Pasay City. Clockwise: watercrest with century egg (suggested, off-menu), beef brisket, pancit canton. Plus rice and cokes, and net of senior citizens & pwd discounts: P959.00. 

They call it the "anniversary update." It was forced on me yesterday. It lasted 3 hours. I thought today is Friday. It's Saturday. I feel I lost a day. Now my sticky notes look bad. I'm not updating Windows again. My wifi is now set to "metered."

It is so hot. The rubber band that I left wrapped around this mini screwdriver... melted onto the metal.

The fudge! Less than 2 years into buying my HP Pavilion 11" laptop, its hard disk fails! It happened yesterday: It froze around 2 minutes in. I thought the HDMI cable to the monitor was loose. I shut off the laptop and put it on my lap to reach behind the monitor... The base of the laptop was HOT! I tried to boot it a few more times but it would freeze before it can load Windows. F2 during start-up -> Quick System check. All passed except Hard Drive Short DST Check: Failed (screenshot's at the bottom of this post). This HP laptop was pretty expensive for me, too. Sigh.

Payout of my time deposit from bpi direct is still not in my account. I am getting worried. I don't like that feeling. My time deposit matured on April 28, 2017, Friday. Yesterday was a bank holiday (May 1, 2017, Monday, Labor Day). I checked my account today around 11 AM (Tuesday, regular working day), it's still not there. Of course I emailed them. If it's still not in my account tonight, I'll call. I'm trying to remember if this happened before, if it has been late because payout fell between a weekend and a holiday. Trying to convince myself that this is normal. *UPDATE May 2, 2017, Tuesday, 6:59 PM: Checked my account, it's there na. Yay.
