that the leftover food you feasted on a few days back is still inside the refrigerator and still has its same good ol' taste you enjoyed.

Awesome Moment #4
finding that another store has the stuff you wanted all along
last thursday, i went straight to Megamall after work (see June 3 post) while roaming I saw a nice bag. i've been looking for a handbag this past few days to kick off a new school year but i always end up not finding what i really like. More than the style, it's the price that hinders me from buying something. Last time, I saw a Secosana bag on a sale but i felt that the 600 php is too expensive for a bag. I didn't buy it. But when I got home I realized I like it. The following week, just 3 days apart, I went back to get it but it was no longer there. I was hoping it's still there but with a regular price but i failed to see it. I told neri and MC about it and they were laughing at my stinginess. They advised me that if i find something i like i should get it. P600.00 isn't bad a price for a nice handbag.
So when I saw the bag last thursday, I went back to Jaims to ask for our leftover GC who was in Building A. He kept it since he was the last one who purchased something from hypermart. He said he left it at home. I thought what the heck I'll just come back for it. When I got hold of my GC I waited for Saturday to come. Tracking back to Saturday's post, we all know we didn't get the bag. Since it wasn't there anymore. I texted Neri and she was laughing at me big time. she advised me to get another bag even if it's expensive already but when you have that feeling of not getting what you wanted, everything else does not appeal to your liking. Good thing Awesome Moment#3 happened or I would have cried over a "lost" bag.
when Jaims and I were planning our Sunday, going to the mall was part of it. He initially wanted to go to Market! MArket! but since I have GC and I have a plan of using it to buy my bag, I insisted on going to another SM -- SM Marikina. When I got there I went straight to the bag section and found what I was looking for. I told the saleslady to hold it for a while so I can go around (in search for a cheaper bag) and ended up buying that exact bag I wanted 3 days ago. The brand is Jovanni (not too familiar as it's my first time to see the brand in SM also). In a way, I told the saleslady my story and she said that they only hold 2 stocks for each style in each store. I felt lucky that I still found one. My plan was to look for another bag/style/brand. To me finding that same bag is near impossible, but I did.

new toy
When Ninang Shy came to Manila, the godchild received new toys – a Dora the Explorer Sleepy Dreams Doll and a replica of Dora’s backpack. Of course the kumares’ also got their share of pasalubong. I got a Digital Picture Viewer with keychain -- a small USB powered photo slider and has a 1.5” display that can hold up to a hundred digipics.
I tried it today while waiting for my turn to load the laundry and it’s quite easy to use. Just plug it in your computer using the provided cable and the software to download pics from your PC will launch. You don’t even have to worry about the size of the pic since the software is capable of cropping the pictures for you. Just set the crop area at a specific cut/angle and the pics are ready for downloading.
I loaded a few pics just to test the system and it’s working fine. I’m charging it now using that same cable.

blogroll
with a daytime job, i must admit i can't afford to blog everyday but to totally remove blogging from my system would be another issue. i have friends who got inspired by my blogging and i also have some friends who discovered blogging on their own. But it seems the people on my list are no longer updating their blogs. Too bad because it's my way of knowing how are they feeling at a certain point of time. They update me without that stalking feeling. Blogs also introduce me to different writing styles. Blogs define new things. They are a source of new topics for my other entries -- whether it's a repost, inspired by another blog entry, or a reminder of some sort. Most of all blogs make research easier (or harder because of the trash other people make).
I'm completely lost. I started this entry just wondering what happened to my blogmates but i ended up thinking of what to say to my class come 2nd week of June. I was told I'll be teaching WP to my internet research class this school year. This means I'll be blogging for the rest of the SY, to say the very least.
3 units or 6 units?
it's enrolment time again and i'm still not decided if i'll pursue my MA this year. i'm still far from compre and i'm not sure how long it will take me to finish it. my school buddy told the big boss that he's stopping already. I still want to continue but with all the responsibility i have right now plus the expenses we'll incur in the next months because of Sofi's tuition I'm not even sure if i can afford to pay my own tuition.
can i afford 6 units (2 classes) financially and physically? I asked jaims just now if he can afford to send me to school next sem with 6 units:
mommy: daddy, kaya mo ba ako paaralin ng 6 units?
daddy: how much?
mommy: last sem, i paid 1500 per payday.
daddy: that's just 3 units, right?
mommy: yes
daddy: so that's P6,000 monthly
mommy: around that price
daddy: NO!
hmmmkei! so we can't afford it financially. i don't even have to ask myself if i can manage 6 units physically, i know the answer without even blinking my eye. i'll settle for 3 units, i guess.

Awesome Moment #2
Before I completely forget, have you ever experienced arriving in a meeting really late but still being able to answer a question as if you've been there the first second of the meeting? today i felt that way. although there was no question literally thrown at me, everyone was surprised when i was able to tell them the name of the form they were talking about even if i have just arrived. i know it's very shallow but i felt triumphant at that instant. even if people were looking at you because you came in late, that whole instant justifies your lateness. that's my awesome moment #2 :
able to answer an instant question despite being late for that meeting
