Trankaso?

I'm frakkin sick, just wonderful.

My head hurts and when I cough it feels like my brain is expanding but
my skull isn't. Then it feels like it collapsed into a dense sore ball
of tissue. Frakker it sucks...

I've done absolutely nothing except ask Dawn to withdraw the rent
money for me.

Now about smartphones...one can get their day started without leaving
their bed. For example, before crawling out of bed I would've already
read my email, the news, any new facebook notifications, the weather,
and see if anyone interesting is on aim. On the down side, there is no
tactile feedback and all those days I spent making my planner seems so
silly. Then again I haven't figured out how to get this phone to tell
me what I should be doing for the day. Maybe I'm just used to windows
mobile...

Kalamansi

Last night I went to sleep all determined to be less of a layabout and
actually get some things done. As usual that didn't work out and in
fact woke up feeling quite ill. I woke up with a really dry throat and
the stirrings of a nasty headache. I ended up being very much
unproductive. Haven't been all that hungry either since my throat
hurts... I took a Tylenol and drank the kalamansi Kuya Uge made.

Meanwhile, Pres. Obama is addressing congress this evening. Discussing
the grim state of the country's finances and I suppose his plan to
alleviate our doomsday state. Joaquin is also doing a double, having
picked up the overnight shift this evening and continuing on through
to 4pm tomorrow.

Hopefully I feel better tomorrow. Fight 'em til we can't.

Mobile blogging

I think this was easier when I has physical keys and not this virtual
keyboard. Hope this works!

Serenity

25th post. I used to joke I was having a quarter life crisis, on the assumption I'll live to be 100 years old.

Finally got to watch Serenity and I did enjoy it. It's like the TV show but with a movie budget so things look grittier without actually looking gritty. Neat-o. Also noticed I'm typing really slow these days. My fingers used to fly on this stuff. I'm just so out of practice.

My love affair with iPS continues. Obviously it's missing some features, like a zoom for taking photos or video recording for that matter. But regardless it's nice. I'm not sure it records audio either, I doubt it. But the included headphones have a built in microphone so if you're listening to music you can pick up a call without taking the headphones off.

Today I got up around 10am and actually cleaned the 1/2 bath's and the main bath's sinks and toilets. So I was a bit productive. Also on the news, Kuya Ugo canceled Pepe's eye surgery to remove the sty. Apparently she may have scratched it right off. They'll have to follow up on that.

There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity. You can't take the sky from me.

Slumdog

Well, went out with Amy last night to see Slumdog Millionaire. It was a really good movie, with a Bollywood ending of course. I told her it was apropos that we saw an Indian movie with the paid for by Indians birthday movie tickets. And that folks is the last freebie I ever got from that hotel. Amen sister. We had a whole movie date thing going haha. My review of the movie will be this, it's a great movie, realistic. Go see it.

After that we went to Bourbon St, of course, since they have happy hour til 8pm and the heavily made Hurricanes are only $5. Amy mentioned that she stopped by the hotel on her way to the theater & told a couple of people what our plans were. So to our great surprise, Tony and Rishii showed up during their extended lunch breaks. They went back to work when Cynthia started texting them about their whereabouts. It was good seeing them again. Hadn't seen them in 4 months, good to catch up. I don't miss my job at all. I miss the people and the steady paycheck but other than that... no. They paid for our drinks like the gentlemen they are. Did I mention I love going to Bourbon St? I woke up not so fresh and I most def woke up around 4am feeling squiggly in a suspiciously shaky room. I went downstairs, dropped the Browns off at the pool, took a Tylenol, drank a bottle of water and went back to sleep. Suprisingly, I was up at 9:37am. My father always said I have Ma's constitution regarding alcohol. Hahaha...

Amy also mentioned that Mel was fired from BBQ for some lame ass trumped up charges. Apparently upper management found out he had borrowed $50 for a busboy & even though he paid the busboy right back, they frown upon that kind of behavior. Thus he was dismissed. At any rate, Mel had an interview today and he already has a new job lined up. And Amy has an interview on Friday so they're well on their way to stable land. At some point, I will have to secure another job, any job. But today I did take down the Christmas tree. Tomorrow I plan to attack the bathrooms.

Sunday best

Ok, I said I'd blog every day but honestly when you're unemployed and at home all day there's not a whole to report to make a blog entry interesting.

At any rate, aside from the Devils defeating the Rangers 3-0 this evening @ Prudential, I'm doing real well acclimating to my new phone. Bibi once joked ages ago that I'd get a new phone and I was all settled into it a day later while most people were still trying to figure out how to get their contact list back. But after MONTHS of deliberation and wishy washy annoyances, I decided to just get a fun phone. Not one that was practical or overly productive. And after some cajoling [did I use that right?] from Joaquin, he got me my new phone. I'm not ashamed to say I was a little overcome with emotion looking at him buying me electronics. It's just a teeny bit better than buying jewelry. lol!

And dagnamit, a 16gb black iPhone is frakkin' awesome!! I love it. I had to restrain myself at the store from squealing because despite the fact I love smartphones and all the things they can do, the iPhone/iPods are popular for very good proven consumer reasons. Who doesn't love cover flow? Who doesn't love the direct to phone downloadable apps?! I have an app to help me lose weight and so far I've been honest on it in terms of what I've consumed. One of my better Sundays... I so love all in one gifts! It's good spending money, you just give a gift that'll last for the next 2 years and I sure as hell don't expect anything else for that long and more. The only thing that remains is to get an insurance plan for it. I should probably do that tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I meet up with Amy Gav to see Slumdog Millionaire. Using up the last thing I got from the Paramount, birthday movie tickets. Now I go back to syncing up music to my phone. Ciao!

Devils vs. Capitals

It was myself, Tim, Kuya Uge, Kuya Ugo and his family plus his father in law. 5-2 Devils lose. According to Dawn, the game was jinxed because she couldn't go.

She had work until 10pm. Tay stayed behind and picked her up. He's not much into hockey. I suspect because he thinks it's too cold, despite the fact you're not actually sitting on ice. The old man wanted to watch LeBron play tomorrow at MSG with the Knicks but the cheapest tickets are $50 in the same place we sat last time. He said he'll pass. He wanted better seats. lol

Tomorrow, we live another day.

Superbowl Sunday

I only managed 20 posts for the month of January, missing 11 posts. Poop. I had meant for this to be a daily journal. We shall try for Feb then.

Superbowl Sunday, hoorah. Not that I get football all that much, strategy seems to be something I need help in grasping. Regardless, Steelers defeated the Cardinals this evening and I am disappointed. The last 2 or so minutes of that game was colon clenching, literally. Haha! From the house consensus, Cards defense was weak especially so in the last minutes. They had a 3 point lead, all they had to do was defend. Joaquin said that sucks because the current Cards will probably never make it to the Superbowl again. But yay for Steelers and their 6th Superbowl. Plus Stapleton, RU alumni, scored himself a championship ring. Joaquin had ordered the Superbowl Papa John's special, 2 large pies, 30 wings, 2 2liter bottles of soda. We'll be eating that until tomorrow.

Otherwise a regular Sunday. Mom's still dead, despite checking every week to see if she'd risen at the cemetery. I am SO joking... Tim posted all these old family pictures so that's nice, all the family faceboo-ers are commenting on the pics. hmm... see ya tomorrow.
