Feedreader, Opera and a smile

Was so sleepy this morning and did nothing except talk to my friend here in the office. Then after lunch, I remembered what kuya Lawrence and I talked about when we were having lunch. He was telling me about Feedreader 3.10 and how it made reading blogs easier for him. I downloaded one and is now using it. Kuhanin ko mga url ng feeds ninyo.

Trying out something new… I am using the Opera browser now and I love it! Love the widgets and the theme! My friend told me she’s using Opera so I got curious and downloaded it immediately. Now I am loving it a lot. I still won’t say goodbye to Firefox though.

Are you using Opera? What do you think of it?

I want to thank Rebecca for giving me a “You Make Me Smile” award. Touched naman ako, sis! Thanks so much!

Lastly, I want to share this song with you by Josh Verdes… I love this song talaga! I first read and heard about this song from Happyslip. And since then, I have been playing this song over and over…

UPDATE!

Guys, help naman! I will be buying a laptop pretty soon. I am just having a dilemma on what to brand to choose nga lang. I want an IBM Thinkpad sana pero I am also looking into an HP notebook. Hmmm…

Are you using a laptop? What can you recommend kaya?

Thanks!

Thinking… it’s raining, my mind is sleepy

Are you sure???

… that she’s the first ever ____? What if someone comes out and tells everyone of us that s/he started making one with wordstar pa? Sows, assuming talaga itong tandem na ito!

… that this senator gives a damn? I don’t think so. Mukhang plastik eh.

… that Erap will not be released after GMA’s term? I feel as though the next president, to gain the sympathy of the masses will offer a reconciliation of sorts and will release Erap. What do you think?

So former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada is guilty of plunder. Well, who isn’t? I mean, let us think of one politician who isn’t. Come on, give me one name. Tatay, meron ba? I don’t think there ever was a president who didn’t steal from the country’s coffers.

But hey, don’t get me wrong. Erap deserves the guilty verdict. What I am saying is that, shouldn’t we also start looking into the Arroyo’s? And what about those scams during FVR’s presidency? Dami nyan.

Sinimulan na rin lang natin kay Erap, ituloy na natin sa iba pa.

My weeks in review…

Been too sickly for the past 2 weeks. Probably brought about by the changing weather and lack of sleep. Anyway, now I am much better and have dropped coffee from my daily drinks. I have been drinking sterilized milk since yesterday and have stopped drinking even hot choco and iced tea.

Anyway, this morning, Rho told me that when she opened my site something happened to her pc. So I thought of doing a site “renovation” for the nth time and have hidden some abubot as well as the long blogroll (it’s still there just click on the buttons). I hope you find my site a bit more organized than before. And thanks sis for reminding me to “clean” this site. Been meaning to do it for sometime now…

Sis Becca, Vera, Thess, and Bluepanjeet… already met kuya Lawrence last Tuesday! Hahaha… I will dedicate a post about it when he sends the pictures over. It was so much fun! I still laugh whenever I remember our kalokohans hahahah… We went to kuya Vince’s place and then met Wendy and Karen. Too bad I was not able to meet ironnie and jeprocks. Stay tuned for the whole story

Lastly, thank you to everyone who kept on visiting even though I hardly bloghop these days. I will be visiting daily next week, that’s a promise. And to be able to keep up with my whole blogroll, I am designating 2 days a week for bloghopping only.

Happy weekend everyone! God bless!

Something to think about…

Are you fulfilled doing work you don’t like because it pays well?

I heard this question on the radio and it made me think. No I am not fulfilled but there are days I can feel a certain sense of fulfillment, if you can call it that, because I did something good for the company. Yes, my work pays well and I am thankful for it. But given a chance wherein I am not thinking of my family and all I need to do is feed myself, I would be contented with a lower-paying job but wherein I can feel contented and happy.

Shame on me…

For not posting for almost a week!

I’ve been extremely busy. Extremely. And I’ve been busy with other things.

Anyway…

How are you, friends? I hope everybody’s doing great right now. My boss took a vacation leave for a week. She took advantage of the 2 consecutive long weekends and left a lot of tasks for me to do. It was all cool, though. Not complaining. For the first time I felt I am working once again hehehe…

Been whining about my job for some time now. I know you probably think that I should get a move on and do something about my situation than whine, right? But when you are in a position that a lot of people depends on you, you tend to push aside your personal happiness and think of others instead. And it sucks, believe me. There are days when I keep thinking I should have been a bit more selfish but then again you will realize that their happiness is your happiness as well. And then I’d feel ashamed for even thinking about being selfish and all.

So I am still here taking on a job I have grown to love and hate. But don’t get me wrong, hey. I am thankful I became what I am. Being a CPA brought so much joy to my parents, my grandparents and my relatives have been boasting that I am the first one in the family and would love to see cousins follow in my footsteps. You should have seen the joy in my parents’ eyes when they saw my name on the newspaper. That was and still is the happiest day of my life. My dad immediately told neighbors that I passed the board exams. He called up all our relatives hahaha… And my mom was crying all morning. It was her dream, you see. She just got pregnant with me and shifted to another course instead to make her schedule easier. I remember her telling me that I must study at UST and no other university and that I must take up Commerce (Accountancy now) and no other course. I remembered that we were having lunch that day, when my dad told me that I should take up Law to become a CPA-Lawyer. For a time, I contemplated taking up Law. But my mom was adamant that I not become a lawyer lest I go to hell and all hahaha… and I am too lazy I don’t know if I still have it in me to study that hard again. Plus, do I really want to make my life more complicated than it is? I don’t think so. Then again my dad is always dropping hints when he sees a lawyer on tv. Hahaha

Oh well, I think being a CPA is enough already. Besides, I am giving myself one more year as an employee and will be embarking on another adventure once things get settled.

Hay… I was just planning to update you on what’s happening to me right now this post became a longish post na. Should make up for the week I hadn’t posted an update.

Happy weekend everyone! Once again, enjoy the long weekend

Wasted

Feel wasted right now. I am tired and my eyes are all puffy from lack of sleep. Can one feel wasted and happy at the same time? Probably. I do.

I am enjoying the bed weather right now. Feels good to just lie down on bed all day and do nothing. I still lack sleep so I am doing that after this.

So sorry been too busy doing sponsored posts I haven’t updated for days. I need some moolah because September is a big month for the family. 3 siblings will celebrate their birthdays (3rd, 19th and 26th of the month) and my mom’s death anniversary on the 29th. For the siblings, we will just probably go to dinner except on the 26th because that would be the youngest birthday. Might invite his friends over plus maglalambing yun for sure. And he’s been making parinig about a cellphone for months now. I might succumb to his parinig. As for my mom’s death anniversary (she died September 29, 2005), we will go to Bulacan and spend the day visiting her grave.

Regarding my mom’s grave, my dad and I regretted that we haven’t had her remains cremated instead. It would have been much better if we have her ashes at home or at nearby Mt. Carmel Church. So we’re actually thinking of having her remains exhumed and then cremated. A lot of families have done that already, according to the cemetery caretaker. But we’re still talking about it.

Anyway…

The metro’s flooded again. Our place is not flooded though but all the surrounding streets are. Anyway, for all of you going out, take care and be safe.

Happy long weekend everyone! Monday’s a non working holiday so enjoy the weekend. Be safe!

Chase, thanks for plugging my akoni site. Guys, I still need traffic for that site. Please visit it if you have time. Thanks much!
