Three years lifespan?

August 1st, 2009
{ No Comments }

Three years have already passed since my manager in the previous company offered us a laptop computer, payable in 3 installments, interest-free. She (my laptop) is Dell Inspiron 1300. Although I have heard bad comments about her, I had no choice because she was the cheapest option. I was told her lifespan should be around 3 years. I chose not to believe but now, maybe my friends were right. Her battery is completely useless. If I pull her power cord off, it would only take about 3 seconds until she dies. What’s worse, I think her power supply socket is already defective. Sometimes she works, most of the time, she doesn’t. Slight movement and she’s out. Fortunately, she’s OK today, so I’ve posted this one using her. I really look forward to going home to the Philippines to have her fixed.

Scared of mascots

Yes, I am scared of mascots. Not really scared, I guess. I do know that it’s still a person inside that bulky thing but it just feels so weird when I’m close to one. Honestly, I wouldn’t know how I would react if a mascot holds me. But I have to get over it. It would be a shame if my daughter sees me scared of someone/something that she likes! It’s still a work in progress that is why I couldn’t get close to Shrek when this photo was taken during my last visit at Universal Studios Japan. I did manage to smile…

Women and jewelries

Do you love jewelries? I did and I still do, a little bit. A close friend always tease me that I was like a pawnshop when I was still a highschool student. I hate to admit it, but he is right. I often wore earrings, gold-plated wristwatch in my left arm, a bracelet in my right arm, heart pendant necklace, and two rings. All of them were gold. My father worked in Saudi Arabia at that time and I heard that gold is better and cheaper there. As a typical OFW, he loved buying us jewelries. Those were the good ol’ days. My preferences have changed a lot since that time. Now, I hate wearing earrings. I don’t really like wearing bracelets but if I don’t have my wristwatch on, I prefer something dangling in my arm. I no longer wear gold-plated wristwatch because I prefer leather or silver strap. I still love necklaces, not the gold ones, though. I can’t afford to buy expensive ones. But even if I could, I still won’t buy. It is completely OK for me even if it cost SGD10 only as long as it’s cute and unique.

Pre-30′s babbles 01

The time when I will no longer be in my late 20′s is fast approaching. I have sworn to start a healthy lifestyle and establish an exercise regime before that time comes. I have heard that it is more difficult for women to lose weight when they reach 30. Aside from it, there’s this acne often accompanied by blackheads that I have endured since highschool. I’m pretty sure that acne has conquered every surface of my face and I want it gone when I’m 30! So funny and a bit embarrassing for me that it was only three days ago that I was first introduced into what an exfoliant can do. Maybe I should try out one of those facials, too. I really need to be exposed to a little bit self-pampering. I haven’t even tried pedicure and manicure!
