rush i was on fire the other day! clickety-clack on the keyboard. html-text-html-text-html. bare bones code. still up at 5 a.m. i was groggy but wth, i couldn't stop. in my case, it was the kind of rush i'll recover from in a few days. i will get an html notepad that colors tags (probably notepad++ ) because regular notepad is slowing me down. catalyst? words from the wise (now dead) -- if you want "always perfect," it won't get done. so, start it and leave it. then, check with fresh eyes (always with fresh, rested eyes) and edit/update. rinse and repeat. you think the first one's ok? well, the next edit will be good, and the one after that will be better. important though: no tricks, no shortcuts = good results, no headaches in the long run. consistency, design, tidy, w3. wow, the things you learn as you go. lucky me, it's interesting stuff. two machines ...in four hours. tech support requested. if you ask a simple "what happened?" or &q

we're in the third month of the year. wow. the older we get, the quicker time passes - years go by just like that *snaps fingers*. have to put dates on everything. two to three weeks. that's how long a led tea light has lasted before the flickering light dimmed. if they'll all be like that with how use them, i have many months-worth in the box if i use one at time before i need to buy new batteries. hardware-scare last night. shut down the pc to take a break - which i always do. i went back, turned it on but the fan just ran and no beep. the he**, not again, i thought. two tries later, it posted - 'resuming windows,' it said. thank you! i think i accidentally hit restart before and not shut-down so it slept.

We have votive candle holders for the altar. I turned LED tea lights on and put them inside. "Come look!" "Ganda." I reached inside the holder. "Ay, kala ko totoong kandila!" I bought these 1/27. They were delivered 2/7. Online vendor was Galleon . Pull the plastic tab out first --- Battery is CR2032. I've been using a few already, at least four hours every night. Batteries haven't given up yet. For a night light, I put one in a small lamp specifically for a tea light. Cute. These are really nice with votive holders. It looks real when turned on, with its flickering fake flame, see? (Oops, should've rotated it right side up first.)

2/5/14 Bagong taon ang dami kong reklamo. Nag-f-flare ba myositis ko o mataas lang upuan ko? O baka naman kasi inikot ko kama ko? O baka tira to nung bumagsak kanang puwet ko sa upuan nung bagong taon? Siguro lampas isang linggo na nung pagtayo ko pagtapos maligo eh may nangyari sa right hip ko, parang may naipit na ugat o ewan, basta di ako makatayo sa kanang tuhod at paa kasi bumibigay, di ko sila maramdaman, tapos sumasakit sa balakang pang pinipilit ko. Buti naman at handa ang kasama ko kaya di ako natumba, pareho kaming nagtaka talaga. Bumalik naman ang pakiramdam sa kanang binti kinagabihan pero tila may nangyari nga, may nararamdaman akong nagbago, di siya maganda. Kailangan ko pa tuloy na may bantay simula nun pag naglalakad kasi alanganin, nakakatakot. Pati ba naman lakad mawawala pa? Wag naman po. Nagkaka-ewan naman talaga ako, bad days kung baga. Sobrang 20 years nato, alam ko na yun. Usually, pag may ganun, pagkapahinga at iwas stress ng ilang araw, bumabalik naman na

walking out to the rollator a few steps away, holding the door frame for support {this room is narrow; carer is standing by} i miscalculate a step. left foot steps forward but hits the floor too soon. the sudden halt before full weight is transferred forces the right the hip out {ouch, the joint!}. waist bends, torso falls forward, bum falls back on its way - hard - to the floor. then, carer catches an arm and knees finally give way so i land sat on a nearby seat. thank you! right hip hurt for days. last week's pancit and lechon paksiw --
