profound bliss

I was at the ortho again last Sunday. Doc Erich wanted a weekly adjustment cuz he's moving my lower molars backwards. And since I brought Princess (my no-line charm) along, I didn't have to wait for my turn. Doc Erich was even at the second floor gaming shop when I passed by. He was seated in the computer near the door so he could see if someone's going to his clinic at the third floor. He occupies the whole third (and last) level so whoever goes up the stairs must be going to see him. I was really lucky cuz two patients were already waiting in line when I went out. I was going to buy slippers so we went to SM afterwards. I needed to buy one cuz Juansen got my favorite pair. Well, okay, accidentally got. He was wearing it during their last day of stay here last holidays and his mom was already throwing a fit when they were about to go cuz Juansen was still in front of the PC and he's the only one not in the car yet. The poor kid wasn't even able to change slippers. ...

The White House website has added a new attraction: a blog! That's hip. Now we will know what's going on inside... or will we? First post was last January 20 so it really must be an idea from the Obama team. I really, really think it would be a great administration. What with Blackberries and fashion senses. But I hope they'd look at the environmental issues first.

How would you like to entertain your guests as if you’re in the middle of the street, beside a power post? For more geeky home fashion, go to Ferm Living .

If you need an ego boost, then buy this: Cheers To You! LOL! Things that people come up with. *sigh*

China may not enjoy the Lunar New Year which begins on the 26th. A second bird flu death this year was actually recorded at the province of Shandong. The victim fell ill on January 5 and died just last Saturday. It was less than two weeks after a 19-year-old girl died of the same virus (H5N1) in Beijing. It was said that the H5N1 virus survives longer in the cold. And it's during winter when rural people bring in live poultry into their homes to shield them from the cold. The year of the earth ox may be another year of bird flu. Hope not.

You know how bad it goes when your mother gets mad at you for not doing your chores and you just don't react because you know she's stressed out and has lots of things to do and stuff... Does this remind you of your mom?

They (Hansen, Van and Irish) were in Daly City recently. Dunno when exactly. Just found this in YouTube:

Will you ride the MRT without any pants on?

Paul Michael Cruz is in Washington D.C right now attending the University Presidential Inaugural Conference (UPIC) which is attended by hundreds of students from around the world. UPIC is being held until the 21st in conjunction with Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration. The 19-year-old college freshman from the Philippines was said to be chosen for his outstanding performance at a Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington D.C. and New York in 2007. But it wasn’t free. The airfare and conference fees were reported to cost him $4,000. Paul Michael looked so excited while waiting for his flight January 16. Well, who wouldn't be? But would you believe that he doesn't have any political plans? Attending the Global Young Leaders Conference alone would make you wonder. But whatever his future plans are, he surely makes us Filipinos so proud. Go Pinoy! And yea, Charice is also there.

Ooh wow! The Vatican is having its own YouTube channel ! I wonder what prompted the need to be so techy. Oh well, they have their own website . But the Vatican in YouTube is comparable to these ever sprouting religious groups holding prayer meetings in the streets. - Just an opinion, no offense meant.

I’m a freak when it comes to organizing things, especially my schedules. And my old Palm (which has been with me for 7 years already) does that job. I also like listing things (in my Palm) I need to buy the instant they pop up in my mind. Like when I’m doing a little carpentry and finds out I need to get a new drill bit. I might forget it for a while and just be reminded of it the next time I use the hand drill, which I don’t really use that often. And that’s where immediately listing things I need to buy gets so useful. I only get to shop once a week (either Saturday or Sunday) and it’s so convenient to think that I have everything I need to buy in my old Palm. Also, I can easily re-read the list and in the case of limited money (which always is the case), I can prioritize what  needs to be bought first. Anyway, planners and diaries were scattered around National Bookstore when I dropped by this afternoon. I actually went there to ask if the hard bound Twilight book was alread...

I went to Dr. Erich’s clinic after lunch to have my braces adjusted. No lines. Loved it. There’s always no line whenever I bring Princess along. It’s so cool how Dr. Erich’s gown was in the shade of his clinic’s new paint. His mom actually had the clinic repainted while he was in Australia last year. And before the repaint (and the Australia getaway), his gown used to be white with prints of animated teeth and dental stuff. He looked rather formal now. And all throughout the adjustment, Princess was on my lap, just obediently observing. Love the dog, really.

The things that caught my eyes at the 2009 CES: Yubz Talk Handset   Yubz Talk/ 9linesmag A stylized retro headset handset that you can plug into your cell phone. If you’re attention-whore much, this is a perfect gadget. It looks so fun I wonder when it’ll hit the local market. Hmm… The Palm Pre Palm Pre/ zdnet New OS, full browser, touch screen, and wireless charging! And I read it costs less . How about plugging in a Yubz Talk handset in a Palm Pre? Vaio P Series Lifestyle PC Sony Vaio Netbook/ geeksugar This 8-inch beauty is the world’s lightest at only 1.4 lbs. It has WiFi, Bluetooth, webcam, and a LED-backlit LCD.

This is the future of gaming. But I have to know first about the headset - that is, will it cause any negative effect to my brain? But damn it's cool. It's like hypnotizing the ball and cotrol it just with your eyes and mind!

I don't really like hot weather. The heat makes me want to just sit in a cool corner and not do anything. I hate the sweat. Heat and sweat makes me unproductive. Good thing there's airconditioning. But the idea of running the a/c 24/7 makes me sweat, too. A big part of my income is already going to Meralco. Good thing Manila's been blessed with beautiful weather lately. Cold. And for someone who has lived in the Philippines his entire life, 26 degrees is already shivering. Anyway I was so productive I ended up cleaning a cpu immediately upon waking up. LOL! Before breakfast! And look at that dust!

I saw Angel's old doll inside her closet a while ago. (What was I doing inside her room? LOL) The doll dress was too cute I had to undress her and put it on Princess. Ain't she cute? Anyway I'm using Zoundry Raven to post this blog. The HTML is so confusing because it autoformats everything.

Was sick yesterday. My temp's normal but I felt so cold I was shivering. It's the effect (on me) of lack of sleep and too much coffee. Didn't sleep Thursday night because I had to finish something I need Friday. The next thing I realized, it was already 8 in the morning and I have to start working. After countless cups of coffee (distributed within the day), I needed to put on a jacket and cover myself with a blanket. I knew it was from lack of sleep but the problem was, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't put myself to sleep. Was able to sleep 11pm Friday. And I'm okay now. A little light-headed but okay. I don't want it to happen again. I'm not a very healthy-living person. I sleep so late because of work. I always tell myself to work hard so I can enjoy life more. But then I realized that I wouldn't be able to enjoy life if I didn't take good care of my health. Oh well. Should I turn vegan to compensate for my poor sleeping habits? LOL can'...

Karl Lagerfeld directs this movie about Coco Chanel. Edita Vilkeviciute plays Coco. I love the black and white.

So we can now use flash drives as extra virtual memory? For XP? I haven't done this yet cuz I don't have a flash drive. I haven't bought one ever since. I haven't had a need for it (yet). But this video sounds cool. Perhaps I can buy one and try it.
