Shut the music up! At least put an option to mute your ad! I know I'm in advertising and props to you for having a flashy banner ad and a multiply account, but don't you know that pissing off the consumers is not the way to go!?
I support Converse and wear my pair as often as I can. But seriously, put a mute option please?
If you ever come across with a Macbook Air model number A1237, please inform my friend ASAP. I know the chances of this happening is slim but it's better than nothing.
Last sunday we were at LEAP pre-school, greenmeadows avenue having our Days with the Lord weekend. Rj and I parked my car just outside LEAP along with approx 8 other cars. I live near the area so I felt safe and sure that leaving my things such as my days stuff, my top, slippers, kikay kit, art materials, Rj's pouch (with his tshirt, USB and personal belongings) and my laptop would be fine.
At around 3pm we all went inside for an activity. At around 5pm, Rj went out to get something from the car and to his surprise.. my right (back-passenger) window was already smashed and obviously, my laptop and Rj's pouch were gone.
Stupid.. I KNOW (and I want to slap myself for that). I thought leaving the laptop there was safe because I kept it under the seat and reclined it, plus my car was parked near the gate (where the guard should have been) and my village is just a village away from the school.
Out of all the cars parked in front of leap, I dont know why they chose my car.. maybe because the robbers saw me bringing things in and out of my car since Friday.. Freaky that they might have been watching me since friday.
The guard on duty was watching TV Friday and Saturday-whole day and Sunday whole morning. When Rj went out and saw the disturbing "scene of the crime" the guard was actually oustide doing his job.. "nagbabantay". He said he did not see anything or hear anything.. hindi daw nya napansin that my window was gone.. the guard even said "pangatlong beses na po nangyari toh".. SAME PLACE.. (one time it also happened during the days with the Lord weekend of another community)
So I reported this incident to the police already.. they said modus operandi na kasama yung guard.. (of course I do not want to blame the poor guard on duty.. I just want to picture how the robbers could have possibly done that in broad daylight without the guard noticing it). The police also said that these robbers bring a bright flashlight with them so that they can also target tinted cars.
Now, this blog is not intended to teach you the lesson I have learned since most forwarded messages already have it (STUPID THAT I WAS LAX EVEN IF I HAVE READ AND GOODNESS..EVEN POSTED A BLOG ABOUT THIS BEFORE), this blog is actually an attempt to recover my stolen laptop (brian gorell style) hehe..just kidding.. I just want to get suggestions how to give the robbers a hard time and give myself peace of mind.. of course if I could get my laptop back that would be better. I just want to find out the things one should do upon losing something like this.
I lost a MacBook air model number A1237. I have given the serial number to several of my friends who know people from Power mac. My laptop has a password so the robbers will need some IT work to remove/reboot/restart my laptop. I do not know though if greenhills is now capable of doing such work. I already went to the police and gave a statement. My car is now under repair...it rained that day so getting fingerprints would be impossible..(I think?). I already posted the serial number online (powermax.com). What else can I do?
"Engaged Idealists are extroverted and helpful. Others find them to be very congenial and inspiring - especially as they are always willing to see the best in the other person. Their humour, their energy and their optimism attract other people. Engaged Idealists are very good at communicating and are good at convincing and firing on others. That is why it is a matter of course that they often take over the leading role in groups. This personality type often produces very charismatic persons
Engaged Idealists have an unusually strong ability to empathise. They are tolerant and generous towards others; they sometimes tend to idealise their friends. They always try to suit everybody and want their relationships to be harmonious and satisfactory. To achieve this, they are prepared to invest a great deal and to put their requirements last. As Engaged Idealists are very considerate, there is the danger of them sacrificing and overexerting themselves for others. In their job, they therefore have to be very careful not to develop a burnout syndrome.
Engaged Idealists are reliable, well organised and love structuring complicated situations. They have difficulty accepting criticism; they quickly feel hurt and misunderstood. Their perfectionism also influences their love life - they look for the perfect relationship for life. Once they have made their decision, they are faithful, well-balanced and loving partners. However, should they get involved with the wrong person, it can happen that they allow themselves to be exploited for a long time before they end the relationship."

The New 7 Wonders of the World were announced during the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07.
How it works: (click for the site and a bigger chart)
Last 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year. With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off, and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice.
Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.
Get involved. Turn everything off at 8pm - 9pm on March 29, 2008, Saturday.

Everyone loves Gmail. But not everyone loves email, or the digital era. What ever happened to stamps, filing cabinets, and the mailman? Well, you asked for it, and it’s here. We’re bringing it back.
A New Button Now in Gmail, you can request a physical copy of any message with the click of a button, and we'll send it to you in the mail.
Simplicity Squared Google will print all messages instantly and prepare them for delivery. Allow 2-4 business days for a parcel to arrive via post.
Total Control A stack of Gmail Paper arrives in a box at your doorstep, and it’s yours to keep forever. You can read it, sort it, search it, touch it. Or even move it to the trash—the real trash. (Recycling is encouraged.)
Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe Google takes privacy very seriously. But once your email is physically in your hands, it's as secure as you want to make it.
First, I can't find the button that will allow me to PAPER ARCHIVE my emails. Is this because I'm located in a third world country? hehe. It doesn't say which countries this is applicable to. I'm guessing USA and Canada..
Second, it sounds like a really good idea, but how far will people go to printing free "archives" with advertisements on the back?
to the marketing people of google, kudos! another great marketing scheme that you have come up with. now only if it ACTUALLY had a button somewhere..
One Christmas, Santa was having a really bad day. The local elves union
was up in arms over their contract and were threatening a walk-out.
Mrs. Clause was pissed that Santa was never around to appreciate all of
the hard work she had been doing around the house. Santa decided he
needed to go home, sit in front of a fire and relax.
When he got
there, Mrs. Clause was all up in his face and wouldn't let down. Then,
there was a knock on the door. It was Rudolph. He said the reindeer
were sick and tired of Santa not upgrading to the new lightweight
sleigh and they were joining the elves walkout. Santa slammed the door
and threatend "The next person who knocks on that door is gonna get it!"
At
that time, there was a knock on the door. Santa flung the door open and
there stood a tiny little angel. The angel had been searching for the
perfect Christmas tree for Santa's house all day long, until it found
the perfect one. The little angel asked, "Santa, I was wondering where
you would like me to stick this tree?"
And that is the story of how the angel atop the tree tradition began.
It's extremely irritating when you're finally updating your dying blog then suddenly the internet disappears on you and you lose your entry. Your friggn long entry. Whooppeee!
So I have to start all over again despite my current hate for internet right now.
My last entry was more than a month ago and people have been scolding me and constantly telling me to update. I feel so sheepish. I was on a roll when I suddenly lost the energy to tell people about me. Yes, one of the most important things in my life.. me. I just felt that *warning, rant starting* my thoughts and everyday happenings weren't worthy for everyone to read. I really envy people some times, when they can just blog whatever pops into their heads. For instance..
Karen has so many friends who have the same interests as she does so blogging about Yoochun and the gang means something to other people. Essa has like 15 comments a day!!! now that really makes you want to update all the time. lovine has the most AMAZING photos. Michi has many readers as well who arn't afraid to comment. hanagirl is a real BLOG ADDICT and her reward is having as many as 30+ people visit her site a day. selloutgirl has the most amazing posts. She can come up with witty phrases and isn't afraid of posting her thoughts.
I can't name everyone I envy or else no one will read my blog no more. Just check out my links and see for yourself.
I give props to all the people on my friends list. Bravo to you all.
*deep sigh* Okay, after cracking my knuckles, I think I'm ready to give this blog thing another try. Since my last entry, here are some highlights I can actually remember..
May 16-20 I went to the beach of the summer. It's been three years since I've set foot on Boracay and I don't regret going back there last month. As a matter of fact, I do miss it terribly. I didn't give a damn if my fats were hanging out. I was there so *bleh* to the skinny folks.

Then the whole summer I've been working on my ass. No, not working out. I've been sitting down at meetings to plan the school year. How exciting. It doesn't really do wonders for my image, cept make me look more like an even bigger goody-goody. But everyone can think what they want. I've got vices too. I'm normal!
Another insight worth sharing is my need for money. Donations will be accepted in any form. *grins*
Also, tomorrow I'm going to be sleeping at the condo again. I do heart the place. Condo is love. It's amazing. I just walk downstairs and what's this..? I'm at school!!

on a sadder note, this is my thesis year. The mortality rate of our thesis is brutal. Out of 500 expected graduates, only 300 make it. I happened to choose special events as my topic and our thesis adviser warned us that there will be crying involved so good luck to me.
I will bloghop today and see how everyone is doing. Hopefully I can bring this computer to the condo this week. Then I can make a new layout and be productive. Oh yeah, I might as well start on my thesis too. ahaha!
Chismis and gossip ------------------- Beans has a boyfriend. Karla turns 18. Paula cries at the finale of Mamories of Bali. Aya and trina have a new love. Boxing.
I've been gone for a whole week, and this was the vacation I really needed. Okay, so it wasn't a 100% vacation, but being able to work for your mom, earn money, and to do what you really enjoy makes a big difference.
Mom and I really got to bond. Yes, I convinced her to jump on our king-sized bed at the hotel. It's something we don't get to do often. I think everyone should jump on big beds every now and then. It takes out the stress, it exercises the muscles and it's just plain fun. I guess staying at the hotel for four days and three nights with service at your feet is not exactly what people think of as work. I was my mom's personal assistant and it was for an event, which is something I look forward to doing in the future. :)
Treated with royalty Imagine, the moment we got there, we were told that they upgraded our complimentary room to another room that has a king-sized bed and better facilities than regular complimentary rooms. Now THAT has got to be something. Mom isn't supposed to pay anything since she was hired for the event. Meaning all our accomodations, buffet meals and etc are paid for already! oooh yeah!!! Now this is what I'm talking about.
Camwhores and then some.. No, I didn't forget to bring a camera. I HAD TO TAKE PICTURES. I was all prettied up and ready for my solo photo shoot. But I wasn't alone.. Mom had some shots too, as well as my siblings when they followed a few days after. I think this sickness runs in the family. We love the camera. The camera is our friend. Take care of the camera. (on that note, my sister and I are very sad right now since our camera is broke. *pout* It's being fixed but we miss it dearly.) For more photos clickty here.Some of my albums are friends only, so if we're buddies, you know what to do. ;)
I have no idea what's going on right now. I have already composed two entries but my ring finger just keeps pressing on the backspace. *press press press* Nothing I write seems to be right. I can't write on how spectacular my day was since all I did was finish some work for mom and go to mass with my sister. Talk about sisterly-bonding, but we should have bit fat exes ( X ) on our foreheads for not paying attention to mass. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW EFFIN' FUNNY FRIENDS WAS TODAY. It's actually knee-slapping funny.
For those who are avid "F.R.I.E.N.D.S." fans, I'm referring to the episode when Emma just came home and Rachel had the hardest time putting her to sleep.
WARNING! SPOILERS:
Gunther: So I guess Rachel had youR baby?
Ross: Yep, can you believe it?
Gunther: Nope! I still can't believe she slept with you in the first place.
Ross: Huh? Ooh (laughs) you mean like a... Huh?
Joey: (entering) Hey. (Ross turns to see who it is, and seeing it's Joey he just ignores him and turns back around.) Ross, I know you're pissed at me, but we have to talk about this.
Ross: Ah actually we don't. (Ross walks off)
Joey: Fine, fine okay. But I gotta say technically, I didn't even do anything wrong.
Ross: (turns back) What! (Angrily) You didn't do anything wrong?!
Joey: I said I didn't technically.
Ross: Okay let's put aside that you (Makes quote marks with his fingers.) "accidentally" picked up my grandmothers ring and you (Does it again) "accidentally" proposed to Rachel.
Joey: Look, can I just stop you right there for a second? When people do this (Makes quote marks with his fingers.) I don't really know what that means. (Ross just looks at him) You were saying?
Ross: And I can even understand that you couldn't tell Rachel, but why couldn't you tell me, huh? You had all day to and you didn't.
Joey: I know I should've. (Makes quote marks again.) "I'm sorry."
Ross: Not using it right, Joe.
(He brings his hands in closer to his face then does it again.)
Ross: I'm gonna go.
Joey: No, come on Ross! (He grabs his bag so he canât leave) Look, Ross, we have to get past this.
Ross: Give me the bag.
Joey: No, look, I don't know what else to do. I said I'm sorry!
Ross: Joey!
Joey: You should scream at me, or-or-or curse me, or hit me.
Ross: I'm not gonna hit you.
Joey: Why not? You'll feel better! I'll feel better, and you know you want to. I can see it in your eyes.
Ross: No I don't.
Joey: A little bit.
Ross: No.
Joey: Little bit.
Ross: No!
Joey: (excited) A little bit more.
Ross: Give me the bag.
Joey: No, hit me
Ross: Give me the bag.
Joey: Hit me.
Ross: Joey, give me the bag.
Joey: Hit me!
Ross: Joe I'm not kiddingâ¦
Joey: (interrupting) Hit me, hit me.
Ross: No!
Joey: (shouts) Hit me! Hit me!
(Ross throws a punch, but Joey ducks and Ross punches the pole. Ross then screams from the pain and turns to Gunther, and Gunther has a huge smile on his face.)
Ross: You ducked!!
Joey: Iâm sorry! It was a reflex!
Ross: Oh my god, this really hurts!!!
Joey: I couldn't help it! When a fist comes at your face, you duck! Look! (He goes to punch Ross, expecting him to duck, but he doesnât and Joey punches Ross. Gunther is amused.)
Ross: What is the matter with you?!?
Joey: You were supposed to duck!!! Why didn't you duck?
Ross: Why don't we talk about this on the way to the hospital?
Joey: Good, good yeah, (Grabs the bags) maybe while we're there, they can check your reflexes. (Joey opens the door and it hits Ross in the face with it.) (Makes quote marks.) "Oops."
*grin*.. okay okay.. maybe it's funnier when you watch it. seriously, I miss F.R.I.E.N.D.S. so much.
There are so many things I am thankful for, yet I can't help being sad about some things. I have been known for my drama modes and everytime I try to explain my emotions, I end up being mistaken for a dramatic biatch who is just trying to get some attention.
Don't get me wrong. I love attention. It's my personal high.
But to be rejected and stepped on before I can explain is a more hurtful experience than not being noticed. It's like I'm wearing my favorite shirt & smoking on the curb. Person A notices my cig, and not my <3 shirt when he is supposed to notice THE SHIRT..
But that's not what happened.
I'm not telling what happened. I'm tired of not being taken seriously when I rant. I have a right to rant anytime and anywhere I want. Just because I am a dramaqueen does not mean that my rants are a notch below the "of-importance" line.
I am important too!
me!!! ---------------- (Importance line.)
My needs and emotions are of some importance. Maybe I'm not that important to the guy selling tabloids on the street at 6am in the morning. But who cares!?
This is why I need chocolate. It's therapy. It's not proven by science but the females of the world have proven this centuries ago.
