I've been thinking about how to write about this topic all day (yes, all day!), but I can't think of a way to do it. So instead of blabbing away, let me just say this, I've been blessed with the kind of website visitors that have visited this website over the years.
There have been stalkers and KSPs for sure, but for the most part, I've enjoyed those who have made their presence known. I'm very grateful for those who have taken the time to give me tips, cheer me up when I'm down, help me with the oh-so-many things that I don't understand about the world, and just be here in general. I'm also thankful to have found two great people who I click with online and offline-a real blessing if you ask me (naks!).
I've noticed that my website visitors change year after year. None of you guys were there when this website first started and I was only a very innocent freshman (HeHe!) in college. People have truly come and gone over the years and that's what I want: when you can't relate anymore, when you're tired of my whining, when you've figured out that I'll never get married (HeHe!), just go away quietly. And I hope you do the same with the other blogs you visit.
There are thousands of blogs out there. Some you will like; some you won't like. With the ones you don't like, just leave them alone. I know that sometimes, you just have to say something to someone to defend yourself or your belief, but I don't think it's worth it. I seriously think that you'll never respect each other enough to hear what the other is trying to say and vise versa. You'll always be saying to yourself, "This person doesn't know me in real life."
My point? Umm, give love on Christmas Day? LoL. I don't know...disagreements are good...but it's all a matter of how you dish it, I guess. Man, I really might not have a point. Did I just lose a couple of website visitors because of this entry? ;P

The Other Job: Approved
I've been approved! I'm officially the Marketing Specialist for Asia (see my February 1 entry for more details)! I'd like to thank the wonderful people at the governor's office for finally getting around to my paperwork and signing them; After 21 days of waiting, I can finally sleep well tonight. HeHe.
But as usual, the fun never stops: my next task now is to find a wonderful apartment/condo/dwelling in Seattle. I don't care if I starve to death, or I come to work with wrinkled clothes, I'm moving out for sure.
Job. Check. Apartment. Check. Boyfr... Nevermind. ;P

How Much More
The newbie needs help. What the heck is the difference between the following versions:
*SIGH. Switching to Mac is probably the most expensive thing I've ever done...I just really hope it's worth it at the end. Otherwise, you'll see me in Downtown Seattle, begging for some change with a nice looking laptop beside me.
- Adobe Creative Suite Standard 1.1
- Adobe Creative Suite Premium 1.1
- Adobe Creative Suite Premium 1.1 Academic

With This Tax Bracket, I Thee Wed
I think I have finally found one very good reason to get married and procreate.
$854. That's two 40GB iPods. That's one Adobe Creative Suite package. That's a whole lot of dance classes. That's a round-trip ticket to Manila during the off-peak season plus money for Kamiseta. Unfortunately, that's also how much money I owe the IRS this year.
Is it my fault that I am a hardworking individual *ahem* and worked two jobs this past year? Is it my fault that I didn't get married this past year?! Is it my fault that I didn't give birth to a very cute kid this past year?! Is it my fault that I chose to live with my loving parents *ahem again* instead of moving out?! Is it my fault that I chose to work my butt off during college instead of owing student loans after I got out?! Then why, oh why, do I owe Tito Sam $854 this year? And if he's such a great uncle, why the heck is he asking me for money when he doesn't give me money during Christmas?
Then, I keep thinking, is this how it's going to be from now on? If I stay single forever, will this amount keep increasing over time? Why does everyone, including the government, care about my being single?! Grrr! LoL.
*SIGH. Talk about a major blow to my otherwise wonderful weekend. If I'm still mad tomorrow, I might have to get myself a gift (See, this is what happens when you don't have anyone to run to! LoL). If the IRS is getting a check that equals two iPods, don't I deserve at least one iPod? Or I could just marry Christian, right? Right? HeHe.

Strong Enough
Oh South Beach Diet, kaya ba kita?
I was at Costco on Monday. Once again, I ventured into the health and fitness books section, picked up The South Beach Diet book, held it for some five minutes, and left it where I found it before I went to get the things that I came to Costco for.
This is the second time I've done this and obviously, I can't get it off my mind.
I can handle not eating rice and bread at all. The biggest hurdle I think is that I would have to cook for myself. Cooking for one I think is the biggest reminder that you're single. It sucks. And you gotta admit, most items in a grocery store aren't packaged for single servings. You can't just buy one piece of meat; you'd have to buy the smallest pack which would last an entire week for one person (read: you'd have to eat the same thing for an entire week!). Hmph!
I know, I know, more exercise, less calorie intake, you won't have to diet, yeah, yeah, yeah, save it for someone who sits at home all day without nothing to do. ;P Ten pounds (okay 15, 20 if I want to be flat-chested), how bad do I want to lose you? And what would motivate me when vanity is not in my blood?
