Tabulas is busted.

Friendster doesn't load.

Twitter says "try later" 'coz there's "too many twits."

Sheesh. What's happening to the [cyber]world?!

Frankie and Marie. That would be Frank Sinatra and Marie Digby. Yes, my music sense is that wierd.

Special thanks to my sister for downloading their albums. They are now loaded to my ever-reliable music phone and mp3 player. I just love falling asleep with either of them playing in the background...

...fly me to the moon.

I don't like you.

I never did.

I never will!

And I'm not talking about just one person here.

Too much tennis. Too many cats. I hate cats. Sorry Sandee.

Anyway, is breaking-up the trend? I just noticed that some of my friendster contacts whose status used to say "in a relationship" now declare that they are either "single" or that "it's complicated." Sad.

Over at Multiply, my real friends hardly update! All I get in my inbox are new posts from online stores, which is starting to tick me off. Sa bagay, nakakatamad na rin kasi minsan mag-post ng kung ano-ano dun. Or maybe I'm just too loyal to Tabulas...ching! haha!

Hay naku, nakakatakot ang kulog at kidlat! Maka-nood na nga lang ng I Luv Betty La Fea...

Say that while making the "W" and "L" signs with your hands and in the most conyo-sounding voice that you can pull-off.

Watch Bubble Gang this Friday so you can relate.

And with that I'd like to post this forwarded email, which I hope will help all the losers out there make their lives a little less suck-y.

 40 Tips for Better Life

I love my current layout.

I love it so much that I don't intend to change it after a month, even if I already have another one in the works.

I think I finally found THE look for my blog!

Paul and I watched West Side Story at the Meralco Theater yesterday, thanks to the complimentary tickets given by my officemate.

The show was at 3 and I was hoping Joanna Ampil would play the part of Maria, but it was Karyll's turn and we obviously didn't have a choice so...

Anyway, it turned out fine and we really enjoyed it. I love musicals and Christian Bautista was a surprise for me. He was actually good. I mean, we all know he's a great singer but as a stage actor he really did great, too.

After the show Paul suddenly craved for Sisig Hooray and fortunately it had an outlet in Galleria so we had our dinner there. After stuffing ourselves with cholesterol, we hit Dairy Queen for some sweet, cold treats and there goes our weight-loss plan.

Triple Chocolate Utopia (or something like that) from Dairy Queen

It had really been a fun day, especially for our wallets, haha! Of course it helped that I was able to control myself from doing any impulse purchases. Well, actually it was Paul who did the controlling part, but still!

Today I just watched Big Stan on dibidi and slept all afternoon. Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure!

Funny I 'm starting to get hooked on the Twilight (e)book. But that is not to say that I totally stopped reading the Historian. I still haven't lost hope, hehe.

I'm watching the final episode of the final season of 7th Heaven and it just feels so sad to see the Camdens say goodbye for good. Oh well, we can always look for a complete season dibidi.

I'm gonna go now. Have a happy work week ahead!

...you try your best to forget all about that painful event in you life but somehow the hurt manages to surface with the faintest memory of it.

It sucks more when you thought you have actually moved on but in fact you really are still a slave to that harrowing past.

Sure you've forgiven and now say that you are okay. But the truth is, you have barely forgotten. Everything remains vivid, which makes it twice agonizing.

Aaargh!

They got me again, I'm so stupid! I can't believe I just agreed to get an additional credit card from my current credit card company. I'm telling you their new strategy, the I-talk-you-listen-and-say-yes-and-only-yes-afterwards strategy, works.

One moment I was just picking up the phone and the next thing I knew I was saying "yes" in answer to the questions in the application form that the telemarketer was reading INAUDIBLY. He was almost murmuring, which makes me feel more stupid now. How could I have said yes to murmurs?!

Hay. Whatever Ivee, you're such a loser!

And yes, this wasn't the first time. A few months ago I agreed to get a personal insurance plan over the phone, the monthly premium of which would be automatically credited to my card.

Aaargh talaga!

I never imagined falling for you this hard...

Who's the lucky guy?

Edward Cullen.

...and loving it!

(perfect title, don't you think? Bite. Vampires. Twilight. hehe)

And this, of course, is my Twilight layout, which will be up until I finish reading the first book. Or until I feel like changing it. You like? me too.

Read the book and get hooked!

Woke up at 6:30 am. On a Sunday. I know. It's crazy, right?

Unseccessful to go back to sleep, I got up and cleaned the house. Nothing major. Just swept the floor, dusted furniture pieces and appliances. And then I got on the treadmill for about 15 minutes.

Mom woke up minutes later and prepared breakfast and the calories that I just burned were immediately replaced.

Then I popped in the Lion King 1 1/2 dibidi. It wasn't as funny as the first time I watched it, but I still love Timon and Pumba.

Yesterday I was at the mall with mom and sis. Bought some stuff that I will be needing in the coming days without draining my purse.

Still Twilight crazy. I literally can't sleep without reading a page or two. Yeah, I'm still taking my time, even though I already have the next two (e)books (New Moon & Eclipse), courtesy of Ramil.

I love Cinnamoroll! Still not sure what creature it is though, but it's so cute!

I have to go now. Think positive people. Everything's going to be alright.

Feeling blue? pop-in a Happy Pill.

Oh I really, really, REALLY hope the sun finally shines its brightest today AND in the coming days. I'm glad that the typhoon (Nina) is finally on its way out and I wish it doesn't change its mind.

Aside from the weather, my never-ending deadlines are also still worrying me. But now that I think about it, it's actually out of my hands now. Yeah, meaning it wouldn't be my fault anymore if I don't beat them...or so I hope.

I'm back to my "normal" layout but I am still Twilight crazy and I doubt that it will ever end, haha!

That will be it for now. Have stuff to do before I cut this work week short---and I mean really short.

Later!

Our best trip ever so far!

He cannot read other people's minds, but somehow he manages to figure out what I need, when I need it and tries his best to give it to me.

His eyes don't change colors with every change in his mood, but I can tell whether he's happy or upset, satisfied or disappointed.

He is not as cold as stone. On the contrary, he gives me warmth and comfort.

He doesn't have super powers, but I always feel safe around him.

He doesn't suck blood, but his love can definitely make me weak as someone whose body has been drained of blood.

Yeah. I have definitely found my own Edward Cullen almost six years earlier.

In a few hours, or maybe even minutes, I should be on my belly, grimacing in pain and calling on all the saints to ease my cramps. Menstrual cramps. Hopefully I'm already at home when that horrible pain completely takes over my body. Shit.

Aside from that I am also still suffering from cough and cold, thanks to the freezing weather in the Island. Double shit.

I hope your day in the office turned out better than mine.
