I really ought to post here more often.
Lots of things have been happening lately. Not having posted for more than a year, that’s hardly surprising. But the last two weeks have been packed with things going on.
Mom is here in Manila for a visit after having left for the US nearly five years ago. She needed to have an unexpected operation and is recuperating nicely. She’ll be flying back to LA on Monday and has been staying with Eyts for the past week after she checked out from the hotel last Sunday. Because of the surgery, she wasn’t able to go around much. But I hope she enjoyed herself.
My work notebook has been upgraded into a slimmer, lighter, core 2 duo subnotebook. It’s still a Dell, so the display isn’t anything to write home about, but at least it’s more powerful than my previous machine and has more harddisk space.
I’m currently drooling over a newly released Samsung phone. It’s a clamshell (because I’m obsessed with clamshells). But the best part is, it’s got a fully touchable external display. I so want it, I so want it, I so want it. But hubby and I’ve just been talking about needing to save up so we could start our business. Oh, I hope I could resist snapping it up when we pick up hubby’s PS3 tomorrow.
Getting the PS3 was a planned expense. The new Samsung phone isn’t. Grrrrr! But I think I’ll be staying up nights thinking about it. Grrrrrr!!
Siopao’s turning two years old this month! He still wears a kittenish face every once in a while (most often when he wants his neck skritch or catnip pinch), but he’s generally more laid back and subdued now (haha! I couldn’t bring myself to say “regal” because he’s really such a goofy cat).
That’s it for me on catching up. I do hope to update this bloggie more often.
Unplanned expenses. I hate ‘em. To me, not giving in to unplanned expenses is as if depriving myself of happiness. lol. It’s an effecting way to save up, though. The Samsung phone is a gorgeous baby, by the way.
