Lusting Over PS3

It’s the fiancee, not me. I can’t remember the exact time he said he wanted one but I think it’s been months already. I know he can afford to get himself the gadget but there are priorities that need to be prioritized. Like his car and house mortgages. That’s what I’ve been telling him and that’s what’s keeping him from realizing his PS3 dream.

If I were filthy rich or just well-moneyed, I’d gift him with a brand spanking new PS3. But I’m just an ordinary girl trying to make ends meet. All I can buy him for now are new shirts, CDs, USB flash drives, Cell phone accessories or dinners. Hopefully, when I get that one job I’m so aspiring for, his lusting-over-PS3 days will be over.

In the meantime, I guess he has to make-do with his PSP and playing games online. 🙂

Sleepy Head Me

Wanna know what I did this long weekend aside from eating? Well, I slept a lot! As in a looooooot. And it made me feel better. That’s why I heart long weekends. It allows me to do the things I love doing the most. Now I’m very much prepared for work tomorrow. It’s gonna be a busy week because we have several events to organize. I’m up for them all.

If there’s one thing I don’t lack in, it would be sleep. I get as much sleep as possible not only because it’s good for my health, but more importantly, because I love sleeping. Sleep and I are like best friends. We love each other’s company. We enjoy spending time together. I’m also glad that I don’t have insomnia, a kind of sleep disorder that afflicts people regardless of age, sex and nationality. Being an insomniac must be really hard and sad and frustrating.

The New Panasonic Lumix GF3

There’s this new camera that the fiancée was raving about last night. It’s called Panasonic Lumix GF3 and it costs around $700 in the US. It was launched in July of this year and it’s gradually drawing the attention of photography enthusiasts and cam whores all over the world. So, what makes this digital camera tick?

For one, it has 12.1 megapixels, shoots 1080i AVCHD video and has a 3-inch touch screen, among other intelligent camera features. Given its impressive specs, it’s easy to deduce that it produces sharp images. Right now, I can see myself taking pictures of myself, my family, necklace collection, metal buildings, old churches and parks with random children using it.

Is Graduate School for Me?

My plan to pursue higher studies has long been sitting in the corner. I have always wanted to get a graduate degree but my duties and responsibilities to my family have been my priority in the last seven years. I felt I was more needed there.

I have this strong assumption that next year is the perfect time for me to attend graduate school. I want an MBA or an MPA, whichever is best for me. I need a graduate degree to advance my career and inspire my siblings to do the same when the right time comes. I have already made a deal (more like a pact!) with my Superfriend that we’re enrolling next year. Just in case I back out, I told her to remind me of my promise and never let me get away with it.

Common Mobile Phone Problems

I’m not really a phone person. In my 26 years of existence on earth, I think I have only replaced my mobile phone four times. The first time I owned a phone was during my college years. It was a Nokia 3310. I have been loyal to Nokia since then. If I remember it right, I also became quite friendly with Sony Ericsson. But in my book, Nokia remains the best and the most functional.

My current phone, a Nokia E63, is aging already. Three years is old, isn’t it? It would suddenly hang and shut off for no apparent reason. The battery life is getting shorter and shorter as days go by. The phone has become slow, too. Common sense tells me that it’s served its purpose and is ready to rest anytime. And for good. I know a replacement has to be determined as early as now. How about an iPhone? A blackberry? An htc bell? A samsung galaxy tab? The fiancee is even brainwashing me to go for an iPhone 5! Haha. It’s too expensive for me, though, so that will never be an option.

Lazy Thursday

My Thursdays are usually productive and fun. Today, though, things seem to be pretty normal. And slow. I have some work to do in the office but it’s not enough to keep me in a busy mode all day. So I tried to jumpstart my day by eating a hearty breakfast courtesy of the food vendors at the side of St. Jude Shrine. They put up a mini market there every Thursday because this day is known to be St. Jude Day and tons of devotees flock to the shrine to worship. Aside from food, they sell other stuff like clothing, porcelains, plastic wares, TV antennas, second hand mobile phones, home cell boosters, plants and even pets!

I had a turon (banana roll), a lumpiang prito (vegetable roll) and some kwek-kwek (a popular street food of quail eggs wrapped individually in an orange-y batter). I also got some mini-baguette sandwiches from the office pantry to complete my meal. I washed down everything with two glasses of water. After that, I opened my PC and started blogging finishing some office tasks.
