New Moon

Finally got to watch New Moon with my brother, his girlfriend, my sis and my bro-in-law. Kinda sucks that this time around I'm the 5th wheel but I had Edward's and Jacob's abs to compensate for that. Hahaha! I liked the movie better than the 1st one and it wasn't that bad as some other people said it was.

This is one of those moments when I really miss having him around. He also watched this with some of the Inver Grove folks and he said that he immediately thought of me and wished we were watching it together...same here, dear! :(

I hope that by the time Eclipse comes out, I'll have him right beside me as we watch it together in the big screen...

Teambuilding

To have a bigger budget, Och and I decided to just combine the teambuilding of our teams and what fun it was! This is actually Part 2 already (the 1st one being a team lunch out at Dad's) and even after a whole night of eating, drinking and singing, we still have enough left for another one!

Who would have thought that Jomacs is one heck of a singer? And Mark was so game with the whole Robert thing! Hahaha.

Fun night indeed. 'Til the next teambuilding! :)

missing you...

I usually don't bring my fone with me when I go out for lunch so when I returned to my desk earlier, I was happily surprised to see a missed call from Lec given that it was already midnight there. I called him back and yey, he was still up so we were able to chat before he headed to bed. The past week has been quite busy for both of us and it was only today that we got to talk again. And my gad, I just miss him so much! It's now close to 2 months since he left but it feels so much longer. We're both looking forward to spring when I'll come visit him but how I wish it can be sooner.

It was really nice talking to him right in the middle of a very toxic day for me. I can't wipe off the smile from my face as I happily typed away (Ochie gave me a puzzled look, seeing me so happy as she passed by my cube...hihihi), but at the same time I can't help but feel quite sad since he's so far :(

But nevertheless, he never fails to give me more reason to love him more each day :)

Miss you so much, dear...can't wait to be with you again...

packages

Don't you just love getting little gifts and packages? Fro just arrived and finally after 2 weeks, I now have it:

Not only that, but I also got the 5th season of Grey's Anatomy plus surprise gifts from mommy, daddy and georgie! :)

Mommy sent some chocolates from his Europe trip, Georgie gave me the soundtrack of Glee and Daddy gave me a bag of Andes mints (which I already opened so I wasn't able to take a picture of it anymore...hihihi).

What a nice way to start my week!

2012

I just watched with my brother and his gf and all I can say is, it was pretty intense! It's kinda scary seeing how everything was destroyed in seconds...still gives me the shivers. But it was a pretty good movie. The effects were awesome and all. And the scenes with the dads really hit me. :( But I don't think I'd watch this again soon...

torture

earlier on AIM...

Lec: dear, do you want me to buy you a Coach bag when we go to Albertville?
Me: ooohhh! you very well know the answer to that, dear. you don't even have to ask :)
Lec: nag-s-start na daw mag sale yung Coach sa outlet...although...
Me: why is there an although?!
Lec: you have lots of bags already. so i'm just being polite by asking that question. hahaha!
Me: you're so cruel!
Lec: hahaha...torture!
Me: you're telling me it's on sale yet you're not getting me one?!?! waaaaah! :( pretty please?
Lec: this is my "let's-see-how-well-she-can-discipline-herself" game...hahaha
Me: waaaaah! dear, i've been very disciplined
Lec: i'll think about it...
Me: promise, i haven't gone shopping for about a month now (which is true! the kindle doesn't count coz my mom's getting it for me...hehehe)
Lec: if i see a good deal there and like the bag for you then maybe there's a chance
Me: chance lang?! define a 'good deal'
Lec: like $250 off
Me: waaah...dear, how about if it's 50% off? :) (knowing that there's always a 50%-off deal at the outlet)
Lec: ok....maybe the bag should cost less than $250...i mean $200... so it should be $199 and below
Me: $250! (though there are a lot below $200 with the discounted price...but still!)
Lec: hahaha
Me: how about $250, xmas AND bday gift?! 2 in 1 na yan! that's a good deal!
Lec: i'll see if it comes to my dreams later...if it does, then maybe it's a sign...hahaha!
Me: you're bad! :(

I know he was just teasing me about not getting me one but it was pure torture!

it's here!

...or rather at Fro's. Can't wait to have it. 1 1/2 weeks to go! :)

excited

Because of my recent purchase, I decided to give up the mini and just go for the iphone. I know I wasn't so keen into getting one before but since my brother just got one and even Gabby uses it more often than I do (he's really such a techy kid!), I changed my mind. I've been wanting to get a new phone for quite some time already but Nokia's not coming out with anything I really like. Lec's been telling me to get an iphone as well eversince and when I asked him if I should get a mini or an iphone, he was all for the fone.

With nothing much to do (and it's my only free time since it's a holiday), I headed to Globe in SM to inquire about upgrading my current plan so I could get the one that comes with the iphone (i would have a cash out of P24K for a 16GB 3Gs). I don't want to change my number as much as possible so getting a new plan was my last resort. But unfortunately, the Globe guy said that it's not possible to upgrade my plan to the iphone one. Damn. He suggested trying to call their customer service to see if I'm qualified for a free iphone as a new loyalty reward. My current reward (P1,200 credits every month for 2 years) is about to end so why not give it a try.

And good thing I did coz I was informed that with my average monthly bill (which reached about P5k a month - thanks to roaming when I was onshore), I am qualified for a free iphone - 16GB or 32GB, my choice! Obviously, I got the 32GB one. Yey! So now, I'm just waiting for the unit to arrive. I dropped by the Globe business center in Town (they'll be the one to release the fone) to ask how long it will take, but they can't give an exact timeline but hopefully, it will be within the month. They'll just give me a call when it's there already. But what the heck, it's a free fone so it won't hurt to wait for a bit.

My brother and I passed by the Apple store next to look for a case for his fone and when I saw this, I knew I just had to get it (take note of the pink one!):

There were only 2 stocks left and if I wait 'til I actually get my fone, it might be long gone and I would sure regret it. It's actually a very good buy since the entire set was only P1800 (a single case costs about P800). So there. My iphone cases are patiently waiting for the actual fone to arrive. Low EQ talaga 'ko. Hahaha. I just hope I get the call soon! :)

i gave in...

...and got myself a Kindle! Hahaha. I was so close to buying it already last Friday. It was already in my Shopping Cart but i held off from clicking the Place Order button (but I did reach the 'enter the shipping address' page). I kept the Amazon page opened though and every now and then, I went back to it and convinced myself if I should really get it. I still have 2 weeks so I decided to just think about it over the weekend. But sorry, low EQ ang lolah mo. The next day, my mom said that she wanted to get one for herself as well so without any second thoughts anymore, I placed an order for 2 Kindles! Hahaha. I got a matching pink leather case for mine (of course, it has to be pink!). I just got a notification that they were already shipped (yey!) and delivery date is on the 3rd. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I've already browsed through the Kindle store and I already have a line up of books that I wanna get. But I have to be patient for the next two weeks until Fro arrives with my package...effort!
