Don’t you just hate it when you find the book you bought a month ago is now available a fraction of its worth in a different bookstore?  And it isn’t even a discounted sale?! Grrr.

This is the second year that the Varsi Amihan (2000) people met and dined together with Sir Lito after La Naval.

From last year’s 5, we’ve increased our number to 9.

As always, not a dull moment when with the Varsi folks.

Manny Pacquiao singing, "Iba ang Xtreme Magic Sing…"

I don’t know what compelled me to watch his 3 minute music video on Channel 4 while channel surfing, but it sure did the job… made me smile and laugh a couple of times.

Don’t you just love the book sale season (at National & Power Books)?  I was at last able to buy these books without guilt, conforming with Rule #64. Hee hee. ^_^’

(Terry Pratchett’s Death Trilogy, Umberto Eco’s The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, and Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story)

From my other blog, dated Aug. 6, 2006 (some parts deleted to protect the innocent, ^_^’ ):

There was a major downpour… after the mass…
I must have looked funny and awkward …(with my) umbrella in the heavy rain that I caught someone took a picture of me… (he was inside a car, waiting for the traffic lights to change)
…Talk about being at the receiving end… (having been) guilty of taking pictures of (…) people without (their) permission.
…Just think, somewhere out there,  …there’s probably a blog… (now featuring) my picture (…) with the caption, "dork." ^_^’

Meet my new friends.  Thanks to them, I gained 10 pounds in 2 days.

Have You Seen This Taxi? #5

July 17th, 2006 by frogbites

This is probably my last entry on these taxi sightings.

Three days ago, I again saw a taxi with the Joy puppy on its roof.  To my disbelief, it wasn’t the same one I’ve been "following" for the past couple of months (made a mental note on the license plate so I’d know). 

I am sorry to admit that an acquaintance was right.  There are more than one taxi with the Joy puppy roaming around the city.  Talk about suddenly being made to realize that there wasn’t any magic behind a seemingly extraordinary occurrence at all.  There goes my Amelie moment.  I am sad.

I just breached the last hurdle to my domesticity today: I taught myself how to work the washing machine.  I hope Mother Earth wouldn’t mind me wasting that too much water.  It was my first time after all.  Now if only I could learn to read laundrelese and understand what all those label symbols mean. ^_^ ‘

Excerpt from my other blog dated Dec. 29, 2005:

…have been home alone for the couple of days… …got tired of cooking for one so I went to *********** to have dinner.  At the door there is this sign that says: "Ring bell when you had a great time." I couldn’t resist; I rang the bell before leaving.  It mustn’t have been rung often as the waiters and waitresses were relatively (delightedly) surprised. ^_^ ‘
