Save Me

The unthinkable happened today: I bought a Coach wristlet.



Oh...my...God. I'm turning into a girl. Hell is freezing over as we speak! (How appropriate because the purse happens to be cardinal red!)

Santa is Coming to Town

...well, maybe not him, but Lillian and four others from the WV 0rtigas office are coming to Seattle at the end of next week! Out of all of my former co-workers, I've been hoping that Lil gets a chance to come here and by golly, she is! So in a span of one year, our travels together have been Bangkok, Vigan/Laoag/Pagudpud/Baguio, and now Seattle! Woot!

And just to thank her for hunting down some of my Starbucks City Mugs back in the day, I'm making sure to take her to the Starbucks in Pike Place (when have I not taken a WV visitor there?!). But before all of that, I'm still trying to figure out my pasalubong requests. Aside from ChristianBautista, I really can't think of anything else right now. HaHa!

Wishes

With the first snowfall of the season today, I can't help not to think about Christmas...and all the consumerism that goes with it.

So, if there really was a Santa who can give me anything that I want (and who doesn't care that I'm really too old to be asking him for anything), my wish would have to be this:


The latest iMac loaded with Adobe CS3 Design Premium

But since reality bites sometimes, my Christmas wishlist looks more like this:

• iPod Shuffle (red)


• My Lovely Sam-Soon DVD boxset (Region 1)


• external DVD burner


• Adobe CS3 Design Premium (Mac version)

This list would've been a lot longer if I didn't take care most of my wants during Black Friday (I almost fainted when my November credit card bill arrived...and that's why these last four items have turned into "wishes" rather than "got its." HaHa!). At this time of the year, I'm definitely happy to be back in the land of milk and honey.

Totally CSSed Out

While many people are preparing for Thanksgiving by pulling out recipes and cooking, I am doing something else: learning CSS (Quick, how do you say "geek" en espanol?) I'm spending all day tomorrow at work to attend a Dreamweaver Level 1 class (and Level 2 will be two Saturdays from tomorrow).

My goal is that by Thanksgiving, this page will be all CSSed-out. May all those night classes of XHTML, CSS, and Dreamweaver pay off soon...so I can freelance on the side. HaHa!

Two O Six

Pen said it best: welcome back to civilization.

After six months of not bothering to activate MotoMiNA here in Seattle and not using my manual dexterity skills, my cellphone is now back in business with a 206 number. Whoo hoo! (Yes, your Christmas wishes have been granted. HaHa!)
