I hate them... they're on the top of my list of most hated moving objects... 2nd are the motorcycles.  hmph!   http://annaelaine.multiply.com/journal/item/76/Are_armored_cars_above_the_law Tue, 23 Dec 2008 02:42:23 -0000 FIRST GEN IPOD TOUCH 16 GB FOR SALE -- SOLD!!!

This is the MOGO Mouse made by newton peripherals (www.netwonperipherals.com) is a compact and wireless mouse, connects to your computer via bluetooth, "lives" inside your computer as it fits perfectly inside the ethernet card slot (not sure if this is what its called as I'm not a techie person so sorry if i got it wrong), has a built in battery and is also charged via the same slot where it lives in. How do I like the product so far... 1. I like that its compact and folds away neatly to be stored inside a slot in my laptop, makes it perfect for travelling as I dont need to bring a traditional bulky mouse. 2. For the OC in me, its -- I like things organized and has specific place for my stuff since it has its own living quarters inside my laptop, its as if it was made specifically with me in mind hahah... http://annaelaine.multiply.com/photos/album/35/MOGO_Mouse_--_A_review Fri, 17 Oct 2008 08:17:12 -0000 Lessons from Bob Ong -- from Arni -- just had to share... funny but makes sense :) PAG-IBIG "Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.." "Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon." "Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo." "Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba." "Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang." "Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na." "Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin." "Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din." "Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang." "Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa." "Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo.

Dinner wasn't too spectacular, though they claim to have the best steaks in town. We had dessert at Restaurante Pia Y Damaso, also in Greenbelt 5. The place is quite nice, and the food was good.... we ordered apple crumble (not really fond of apple pies so I wont be describing it in detail and Sisa's Dementia -- which is to die for -- truffle cake with white chocolate almond pastilled, with dark chocolate mousse and ganache.

I'm not really good with goodbyes, I don't like the idea of being left behind. I will surely miss them... but whenever friends leave, I try to always remember this quote I once read...."you can't hold a butterfly in your hands, you'll crush their wings, instead, let them fly so they can show the world how beautiful they can be..." So to Bubu, I wish you well... good luck to you in London, and to your new life, you will no longer be your parent's princess, you'll now be Mike's queen :) I'll miss you but I know you'll be really happy there.  Can't wait for December :) http://annaelaine.multiply.com/journal/item/27/Missing_Bubu Wed, 6 Feb 2008 05:14:35 -0000 Anita's Despedida These pictures are so long overdue...

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.

I've decided to make my own planner this year for two reasons: 1.  I was banned to have coffee by my doctor due to my palpitations, and 2.  I computed the total cost drinking all the coffee you needed to complete the stickers... and I guess I'm not willing to spend more than P2,500 for a planner, I'm a big CHEAPO! I started drawing the lines on my notebook sometime September, around the same time when I was super stressed with work.  Every night, I tried to complete at least 3 pages, some nights when I couldn't sleep, I could even finish more, and there are nights when I'm just too damn lazy and the notebook would just stare at my begging me to touch it but I just wouldn't....

And the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill today, because they got on my nerves. Also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today, as they may be connected to the feet or ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow. Help me to always work at 100% 12% on Monday 23% on Tuesday 40% on Wednesday 20% on Thursday 5% on Friday And help me to remember....
