Up And About

Man, it feels nice to.. uhmm.. not feel bad.

This past week, I've had quite awful nights.  My body ached and felt stiff, and my hip threatened to act up again. I'm glad I didn't force myself and rested early.  I actually (foolishly?) over-stayed in the office, and when I got home, I had nothing else in mind but dress down, hit the sack, and end my day.

A lot of my planned activities had to be shelved for a while.  I had to accept that some social network backlog, I needed to ignore (which comes pretty easy these days).

I did enjoy the extra rest I had.  However, I really miss how sharp and active I could stay way into the night.  This growing old thing?  I, fortunately, don't have the extra energy to feel bad about.

Creepy Kid

Last week, I ate dinner at a hawker center.  I shared a table with an elderly man who was with a boy of around 8 to 10 years old.  The boy rambled:  "I'm going to sell it for a million dollars.  A million, billion dollars. No, a zillion-zillion-zillion-zillion, trillion-trillion-trillion-trillion, billion-billion-billion-billion, million-million-million-million--"  He takes a deep breath-- "thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand, hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred, ten-ten-ten DOLLARS!"

I was impressed that he got his decimal groupings right, so I listened on, curious of what he was talking about.

The boy stood up, went closer to the old man, stretched his arm, reached towards the old man's chest and continued, "I going to take out your heart, and sell it for lots and lots and lots of DOLLARS!"

Then an elderly lady arrived, and they left.

How's This For A Realization

I don't get homesick.

I don't think I would really miss a place.  Hindi ako namamahay.  =p

What I really miss, though, is the company of particular people.  If they could just be where I'm currently at, then I'd be fine.  Kahit sa outer space pa.  =p

But if that still counts as some sort of homesickness, then I'd be ready to take back my first statement.

SIM Card Not Available

If you get this error when you try to open your SIM card's Phonebook, you might have Fixed Dialing set to On. Just turn it off, and you're all set.

Google Reader Friends List Is Gone!

Where'd the friends list go?!

Now I can't just check what Randell shared. Now MY Friends' Shared Items will be flooded by Mike's! And my FRIENDS' Friends' Shared Items list will be flooded by MINE! XD

My Eyes..

..they're trying to leave me!

My Spider-Sense Is Tingling

Ominous.

Foreboding.

I've felt it coming for several months. A lockdown of some sort.

Thus, I am rethinking. Reconsidering.

Spinning Around

Mark and I did the escalator spin!

Leaving Miggy's kiddie party and the high school batch meeting right after, Mark asks us if we knew about the online video of someone spinning on a pair of escalators.

I didn't!

So we tried it out for ourselves. :D

It was really, really fun! I didn't know what to expect, and I was really surprised at how it felt. I also had a hard time getting off the escalators. =p

Mark has a longer video of himself spinning -- hope he uploads it, too. :)

Here's my video: Nikki Spins on an Escalator

Ehem

Why does Rick Astley still look like how he did 20 years ago?

Sad Story, Comic Comments

I don't follow the Hans Reiser story, and I'm not really familiar about Reiser himself.

Mike shared a link to a Slashdot article and noted that there were very interesting comments.

And I found some funnies:



The link to Wikipedia shows:

Would You Like To Know..

..my current address?

*hint hint*

Maybe you'd like to send me something?

*hint hint*

I'd be happy to receive something..

..when I get back next week!

Some Holiday

In Dependence Day, huh?

=p

Mice Can't Draw

Or, rather, I can hardly draw with mice..



(Yeah, nose is red: optical mouse)

Dumbing Down..

I really need to kick my brain and get it started..

I couldn't load my Blogger Dashboard a while ago, and kept getting this page. So I clicked on the link to the Help Page, and I deleted the browser cookies from blogger.com.

I refresh the page a dozen times.

Until I look at the URL and realized that I am indeed reloading the same gosh-darned page!

Ashamed and defeated, I click on the Blogger logo..

Jump!

Jump! Jump! Jump!

Time Lapse

I did a double take on my personal time logs.

I've been tagging the dates since Feb. 15 with the year 2005.

@_@

Jackie Chan and His Master Plan..

Yeah!

Funny commercial and song! =D

Kahit Ano

Bakit di kaya tinuturo ni Erik Matti na yung "Rounin", hindi "ru-NIN" ang pagbigkas, kundi "ROOO-nin".. (pasensya na po.. OC lang..)

Panalo. May bagong bakery daw sa Grove, tapos nagtitinda nitong tinapay na may hotdog (na manipis lang naman) -- piso lang!

Sometimes..

..I just suck.

Isipin Mo Lang..

..nung magkasama na presentor sa Myx Music Awards si Erik Santos at
ang di-umanong kasintahan nitong si Rufa Mae Quinto, parang nagkaka-ilangan silang dalawa. Weird hesitation for a lousy kiss.

Pero bago nun..

..nung nagpapasalamat si Erik Santos para sa isa sa ilang award nya, sa bandang dulo ng speech nya, "..syempre (pause) sa.. hehe.. sa.. (pause) iniibig ko (pause) si.. Rufa Mae.. hehe.. (pause) ... (biglang taas ng trophy, at sigaw ng) Jonathan!
