waiting in vain

my 3-year "forced savings" has finally matured and the proceeds have been credited. at last!! money for me and money to pay my debts! hahaha!

i believe i deserve a reward... for enduring 36 months of salary deductions (of a considerable amount) and emerging unscathed from a very turbulent financial status.

so knowing me, instead of shopping for clothes (except for shoes and bags, they are my weakness), i'd rather spend my money on books or cds. so off i go to Powerbooks... buti na lang may SALE!! so i stocked up on books that are in my "book wish list" and went home happy. check out what i bought:



The Earthsea Series by Ursula K. Le Guin

and,

The Time Quartet by Madeleine L'Engle boxed set.

and i got all of them for sale! whee! ok happy na ako. Ü

oh by the way, for all book enthusiasts... next weekend will be The 27th Manila International Book Fair at the World Trade Center. dali, tayo'y mamasyal at magpaka lunod sa libro! hahaha!

speaking of high school...

hazel and i saw our former h.s. speech teacher Mr. Roño at the Discovery lobby yesterday lunch time. syempre, di naman namin inexpect na makikilala nya kami, lalo na ako, kasi average student lang ako nun not like my uber talinong sisters. and besides, he has taught so many students over the years so i don't expect he'd remember us. so we "ignored" him and went on our way, but out of the corner of our eyes, we saw him looking at us. (funny lang si hazel... hindi pa nakakalayo si Mr. R nang bigla syang humirit ng malakas "hello! nakatingin kaya satin!"... ehem, ple, hindi rin malakas boses mo noh? narinig kaya tayo nun? hahahaha!!)

anyway, honestly i was bothered by that. i mean, he taught for years at SSC, would he even remember ALL of the faces of his students? so i asked my sister if she was also Mr. R's student. she replied with a yes. aaaahhh ok, so most likely Mr. R thought i was my sister. since she was every teacher's favorite (graduated top 5 of her batch), it's likely that Mr. R remembers her. i was just a mere shadow of my sister (remember physics class, numerous times that our teacher called me by my sister's name when i raised my hand to recite).

ooohhh, do i smell some bitterness here? nah, tapos na yon.. na get over ko na yon pagka graduate ko ng h.s. hehehe!

la lang, gusto ko lang i-share! weird kasi eh! Ü

currently missing nine people badly... napapanaginipan ko na nga sila eh...

"mapapansin kaya, sa dami ng inyong ginagawa..."

"here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well..."

weekends = stress reliever

yey, its a long weekend! looking forward to sleeping and playing the Sims 2 the whole day. haha, loser life for others, but it's a stress reliever for me!

yesterday, i finally had my quarterly trip to the parlor. my favorite stylist at Fix G2 is busy so i had to settle with any available stylist. in fairness, i was happy with the outcome. no drastic hairchange, just the usual retouch, hair spa, hair cut, but the stylist made sure i got the result that i want and not just what he wants me to look like (you know those stubborn stylists, i'm sure most us met at least one. hehehe!).

today, after sleeping for almost 12 hours, i watched the rerun of Monsters Inc at the Disney Channel. i so love Boo and Mike Wazowsky! hehehehe!


then Sims 2 na for 8 hours straight! haha! naka graduate na yung mga anak ng original kong pamilya. magiging adults na sila. hehehe! adik adik adik! Ü had to stop not because my eyes needed to rest, but to watch Mom at Sixteen at the Hallmark Channel.


this is a good movie, recommended not only for all mothers but for singles as well, especially the teenagers. click here for time schedules.

hmm, bukas ano naman kaya? will do groceries first then maybe watch a little tv then Sims 2 ulit! hahaha! sorry ha, got nothing to do better eh. Ü

eww, i told myself that i will not blog my daily activities pero ano toh? hehehe! ewan!

it's raining outside... the gentle pattering of the rain and the cool air is lulling me to sleep... zzzzzz......

high school...

si yagie kasi eh, ayan gusto ko na rin sya i-blog. haha! gaya gaya!


o game, hanapin nyo na kami ni hazel dito! hehehe! Ü pansinin nyo naman ang pose ng aming Mommy Bear adviser! o kaya nyo yon?!


dito din hanapin nyo kami! ang galing namin mag mala-chameleon. haha! Ü

i really miss the high school days...

just need to post this...

wag nyo na pansinin. hehehe!

Red Bull offers Klien Champ Car

10 August 2006

Formula One is most likely going to say goodbye to Christian Klien at the end of the season. Mark Webber will replace the Austrian Red Bull driver next season and now Red Bull has made Klien an offer to race in the American Champ Car series.

"We made Klien an offer to race in Champ Car and there is also an alternative to race in the DTM series. He has two weeks to think about it," Red Bull motorsport director Helmut Marko told Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten. "The door to Formula 1 is still open for Klien but only after he has shown what he can do in Champ Car."

For Marko the reason of Klien's departure is clear. "At the start of the season Klien was given one target: beat David Coulthard. He was not able to do it neither in the races nor in the free practice sessions. He had a good first season but he was unable to develop himself."
