From our family I am the only one who doesn’t have to wear any glasses. I often wonder why because I’m the one who is so addicted with the computer. I remember when I was still a child and we had a family computer. The first thing I do in the morning is to play Mario Brothers on our family computer. When we had our very own PC and internet connection, I would stay up late chatting with friends and still manage to wake up early to continue using the computer. Now that I’m working, I’m in front of the computer for 8+ hours. My office mates keep on reminding me that I shouldn’t wash my face because my eyes are tired from being in front of the computer but that doesn’t stop me. I still wash my face every after lunch so that I’d feel fresh again

Last January, we had our APE and my eyes were examined. And according to the doctor, although I have a 20/20 vision I have mild astigmatism. She recommended that I wear eyeglasses especially because of the demands of my job. I researched further on my condition and found out that astigmatism is a common condition and is usually present from birth. I then started searching for different kinds and styles of eyeglasses when I stumbled upon Eric’s Review of Zenni Optical. Zenni Optical has the lowest price progressive glasses which makes them the #1 online Rx glasses store in Brooklyn. The lowest prescription glasses that you can get from them costs 8USD that’s more or less 400PHP! They have so many kinds of glasses as well, so you’ll have tons and tons of eyeglasses to choose from! Here are just some of the glasses that I liked: Read more »

I couldn’t think of a better subject for this. Just thought I’d update with random stuff.

I changed my mind and renewed orangebin. Its just hard to let go of the name, I’ve had this for almost 4 years (I think) and still haven’t grew tired of it. I still bought a new domain name though and will share the URL once I’m done setting it up.

I’ve been eating a lot lately and I blame PMS. *LOL* Anything for an excuse for pigging out. But tomorrow I told my dad that I’ll come with him on his morning walk. I need to have time for physical activities no matter what. That would be my goal for the coming weeks and maybe months.

Tomorrow, I’d also go to My Health Center for my Urinalysis. It’s way overdue and the office nurse did a follow up on me already. I was supposed to go today but was too lazy, once I saw the Sucat exit I decided to do it tomorrow. The office doctor told me that the salt level in my body (urine) was too high and also there’s something (can’t remember the term) that’s too high as well and it might be a cause of bacterial infection so she prescribed some expensive antibiotics that I had to take for 2 weeks. And after the 2 weeks, I’m supposed to get my repeat urinalysis but wasn’t able to because I had my period. It’s been 2 weeks after my period and I still haven’t gone for the urinalysis. Haha! I must do it tomorrow, hopefully I’d be in a better mood

My boyfriend is now a proud owner of a brand new Compaq CQ40-416AU. I accompanied him awhile ago at SM Marikina to buy his new toy. He wanted the Dell Inspiron 1410, but unfortunately the only available stock was the one on display. So I told him to just get the CQ40 instead, so that we have the same laptops. While at SM Marikina, I also bought a cotton mini skirt for only 59Php!! The tag price says, 119Php but when the barcode was scanned the price changed to 59Php. The cashier had to double check the price because she couldn’t believe it as well. Haha! After buying the laptop, we went to BK to have our lunch. While having lunch, we noticed that most of the customers at BK were using their netbooks. We kinda envied them because netbooks are so portable and easy to bring wherever, unlike our notebooks. But then again, netbooks have small screens and I worry that it might strain my eyes.

While we’re on the topic of gadgets, did you ever buy a gadget and pay for it using your credit card and on installment? I did. I bought my Creative Zen and used my credit card and paid for it over 12 months. While my laptop I bought using my credit card and paid (still paying) for it over 6 months. I haven’t tried buying a cellphone though and paying it in installment. I’m just too scared because I might lose it or somebody might steal it and I still am not finished paying it. I don’t think there’s exclusive insurance leads for gadgets. I still haven’t heard of any insurance for any kind of gadget. Maybe it’s time to have such insurance, don’t you think?

I’m pretty sure that every new year, losing weight is in our New Year’s resolution list. Every year I always say to myself that I should lose X amount of weight but its only this year that I realized that I shouldn’t think that way. I should be thinking of ways on how to stay fit and healthy. What’s the difference? Well, for me when I say I should lose weight that only makes me to restrict my food intake. I should eat a lot to lose weight. But if I want to be fit and healthy then I should also do some exercise and chose what I should eat. So this year, that’s what I vowed to do. To stay fit and healthy but so far I haven’t progressed much I’m sure its not too late for me to start… I aim to have a 100% change by the end of the year. I still have 9 months to reach my goal.

Did you know that even if you’re young most health insurance leads may still give you a higher monthly premium than usual? I didn’t know that. I just learned about it yesterday, when my mom, sis and I were talking about insurance during dinner. My sister said that she would have a hard time getting a health insurance because she just had a major operation and she also isn’t healthy for her age. I actually couldn’t remember how the topic started but I remembered my mom wanted to get an accident insurance for her cousin and my sister applied all that she has learned about insurance law to my mother. She was lecturing my mom that my mom didn’t have any insurance liability (I cannot remember the exact term she used) to her cousin and so she is not allowed to purchase an insurance for her cousin. And even if she is allowed to do that, she still can’t be her cousin’s dependent because a dependent must follow a hierarchy. So that ended our discussion about insurance.

Its fun to have a “lawyer” in the family, you could always run to them and ask for legal advice for free

I’d be moving to a different home (online) soon I just registered for a new domain and hopefully I get to set up everything before the month ends. Will update you guys once my other site is up and running.

Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
- Vanilla Twilight Owl City

I heard that song awhile ago while I was driving on my way home and those lines struck me. So as soon as I got to my room, I opened my laptop and searched for the lyrics. Its such a nice song I love the lyrics and the melody. For those in a LDR like Gel, surely could relate to the lyrics/song.

Allow me to share the lyrics to this new favorite of mine:

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here

I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone

I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

I’m contemplating on whether to purchase their album or not. Just like the thousands of people in the US, contemplating on what insurance to get from a vast number of insurance sales leads. I’m also moving to a new (online) home soon. I’ve decided on a name and hopefully before the month ends I’m all settled in my new home.

I’ve been meaning to change this layout of mine but I’m having a hard time on searching for a theme that I’d like to customize. Speaking of my site, it’s about to expire by March and I’m thinking if I should renew it or register for a new domain name. I’ve had my domain name for a long time now and I feel like having a change of name. I need to brainstorm ideas before the 2nd week of March. Good luck to me

I don’t know what’s wrong with me but since the year started I’ve been getting sick every month. I’ve had colds and cough last month and now I feel sick again. The same symptoms I had last month, but this time I drank medicines right away and slept early last night to have a full 8 hour sleep.

It’s my boyfriend’s birthday today. I thought I’d beat him to work today but I failed to. I was hoping to surprise him by placing his cake and gift on his desk but his shift is way too early (his shift starts at 7AM). I came in at 6:50AM and he was already busy with work. Oh well, I’ll try to surprise him next time (maybe on our anniversary) I just hope his shift doesn’t start that early by then.

If you’re from the Philippines or a Filipino who’s been listening to Magic 89.9 every morning for four years you probably know what I’m talking about. I listen to this radio show every morning (Friday not included) on my way to work. It’s actually the reason why I don’t feel so stressed or irritated despite the traffic every morning. I enjoy my travel to the office because of this show. Sometimes even as I have parked my car already, I still stay for a little longer until the commercial break. It’s really an entertaining show. And if you still didn’t know, Mo Twister has his own blog as well. Not only is it entertaining, but he also gives away prizes thru his Triva Questions. All you have to do is follow him on Twitter and post your answers there (Twitter). I hope I get to win on one of his trivia questions until he runs out of prizes to give away.

A letter for me came in the mail a week ago. I thought it was the Circle’s Buffet voucher that I’ve been waiting for the longest time but my excitement turned in to a disappointment because it was not the voucher but a statement from my life insurance. Ugh, another bill to pay. I always dread receiving bill statements, it reminds me of how much I should have saved if I didn’t purchase this or that. And then I start to think that ever since our company moved here at McKinley Hill the more I was not able to save. It makes me miss the days when our company was just based in Alabang, only 10-15 kilometers away from home. Gasoline for the car will cost 1,000Php and it will last for 2 weeks or more. But now 1,000Php will only last a week, add to that the toll fee every morning and afternoon and just recently McKinley Hill management decided to turn all free parking slots to a pay parking slot. I’m actually starting to think of canceling my insurance because I feel that I am not able to manage my money properly. If only I was able to review insurance leads properly and had given much thought before getting a life insurance then I wouldn’t feel as if I made a mistake in purchasing one. Canceling now will not benefit me at all since I’m just only on my first year. Anyways, I’d just think of it this way: Today I don’t have enough money but tomorrow I’d have enough and more

LSS – Last Song Syndrome
–

My parents and I went to Marikina yesterday to have our Valentine’s dinner. I loved the band who was playing at the restaurant. My current LSS is one of the songs they played last night.

Vertical Horizon’s Best I Ever Had
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I’m here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing’s quite the same now
I just say your name now

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
You don’t want me back
You’re just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I’m just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
You don’t need me back
You’re just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can’t take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You’re always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I’m here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I’m haunted

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
I don’t want you back
You’re just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever
