We did some last minute shopping today. But hubby and I are still not finished crossing off names from our list. So we’d be continuing tomorrow. I’m blogging about this because people might wonder why there were so little updates from me.

One, because I no longer have work. So I have the freedom AWAY from a computer/laptop. Two, I could probably be sleeping, trying to catch some zzzz’s, or else it wouldn’t be a vacation if I don’t. Three, busy shopping, and partying.

Hey, were you on twitter when I was in panic? Well, if you are, then you know our new toy had been purchased.

I’m still thinking for her name (yes, I decided it’s a she). Any suggestion?

I was absent from the cyberworld today. I was on leave at work. And I purposely didn’t check my inbox for emails and didn’t log on YM and twitter. I was busy finishing my scrapbooks and calendars. The bed was clattered with photos and other office supplies. I was too slow that I only finished one scrapbook. The calendars I can do next week, I guess. The calendar promo code is valid till Dec 20.

Anyway, online friends have invited me to watch Twilight this weekend. I asked hubby if that would be ok. He said that WE are going to watch it, so why would I watch it without him. I reminded him about our chat the other week. Then, he told me that the movie has bad reviews, and that he’s not interested. But now, as he said, we will watch it. Hmmm, interesting.

There’s so much going on my mind that I don’t know what to blog. All I know is that my mind is full with:

- work, work and work (no kidding)
- DSLR and how I can possibly buy it before my sister’s wedding this December (budget-wise)
- scrapping and photobooks
- and one thing else that I still can’t blog yet.

That’s all. Just needed to blog about those so I can clear my mind before hitting the sack.

Two weekends ago, we went to the mall with Mikee’s yaya. We had pizza for lunch. Since Mikee loves french fries and the pizza place has no fries on their menu, we asked yaya to buy fries from Mcdonald’s one floor below. When she came back, she was a bit sad. I asked her if her tooth was starting to ache again. She said no. Then she told us that she just saw her estranged husband at Mcdonald’s, who didn’t know she’s in the city. Small world huh?

Yesterday, during my SIL’s birthday party, one of my hubby’s cousins and I had a chat. We talked about his newest fashion achievement. He qualified to design one of the gowns that the Ms. Earth contestants will be wearing for a calendar shoot. Then he started asking about how much did my wedding gown cost. Then I don’t know how and why, we started talking about Chinese people. Then I blurted out that the gowns of my sister’s entourage are being handled by a Chinese young guy, who graduated from… then he finished my sentence with “CSB?” Guess what? This Chinese guy who will be doing Mikee’s flowergirl gown is a **close friend** of hubby’s cousin. Now, talking about how small the world is.

This week I:
- was busy… ( a. working b. window-shopping c. taking care of Mikee d. all of the above)
- scrapped after 10 thousand years.
- tried shopping for gifts for the parties. *tried*
- lost the three little elves over the other side of the fence.

Next week, I plan to:
- buy the gifts for the parties
- finish the pending non-project-related work

Happy weekend!

Hubby asked me why my blogs are broken. I raised an eyebrow saying “huh?” then he showed me and yes, all 3 blogs are broken (I’m using the same theme for my 3 blogs). I realized that it’s because I’m using IE7 and FF that I didn’t see this. Hubby is using IE6.

Geez, I hope I can find time to have this fixed soon. Hopefully this weekend.

Do I choose my friends? Let’s see. Of course, for me, for a friendship to work out, there should be a common hobby or interest.

Hmm, I am easily turned off by people who:

• think the world revolves around them.
• treat everybody else as a competition.
• love to sit on their pity pot all the time.
• are nasty to old people, babies, pregnant women or poor people.
• so insecure that you can feel/see they’re fighting it but still, it shows.
• are needy and clingy.

Well, yeah, I guess, I choose my friends.

Your Friendliness Score is 62 (Friendly)

No doubt about it, you are a good friend and a friend to many. You’re one of the first people your friends call when they have news. You are quite popular, and your circle of friends is always growing. And while you are always making new friends, you are careful not to leave your old friends behind. While you are a great friend, you’re not perfect. Sometimes you slip a little. Make sure to listen to your friends and make time for them. Occasionally they feel a little neglected.

I was about to go to the office. Then I thought of taking a picture. Why? Why not! Hehehe.

Now who looks 30-ish now?

Hubby and I have agreed we could buy a new DSLR this December. So I was browsing for pictures of the model that we want. I wanted to know the appropriate prime lens so I texted my sister’s fiancee. He then replied with “Have you seen the new Nikon D90?” And so I googled and find out that you can make movies out of the D90, HD! WOW!!! Ultimate!

“In simple English for everyone else, unlike camcorders, you can throw backgrounds way out of focus for movies shot on the D90.” - Ken Rockwell.

Definitely my kind of camera! I checked its price and showed hubby. He then teasingly sang “Pangarap ka na lang ba?” (Will you be just a dream?)

Ok, settled then. No D90 for us.
