wanna know who i really am?

When it comes to professionalism, and traditional values, Capricorn wins hands down. This practical sign loves to tackle life in the most conventional of ways, leaving no stone unturned. Considered the most serious-minded of the signs, the Capricorn possesses an independence that allows for considerable progress both personally and on the job.

Friends and Family

Combined with a strong wit, and a love of humor, the Capricorn makes for terrific company for those they choose as friends. They will surround themselves with those that are honest, loyal, and like-minded when it comes to working values. They cherish loved ones, and will go any distance to help a friend or family member out. Traditional by nature, the Capricorn loves nothing more than holidays such as Christmas that bring people together with a variety of activities. While a Capricorn isn’t apt to have a large social circle, those included in this sign’s life will find someone who is steadfast and true. Emotional displays are not common for a Capricorn. They would rather show how they feel through deed than express by word.

Career and Money

Ambition is the keyword for this sign. The key phrase for Capricorn is “I use”. The Capricorn possesses a real knack for finding the right tool for the job, and getting down to it. Starting at the bottom of the ladder, and working their way to the top doesn’t scare the Capricorn off. They will go the distance once a goal is set.

Setting high standards for themselves, honesty, perseverance, and dedication to duty makes the Capricorn an excellent manager. Honesty, loyalty and a willingness to work as hard as what’s necessary are qualities that this sign values greatly within themselves and in those around them. Careers in management, finance, teaching, and real estate are excellent choices.

Capricorns are resourceful and manage their time and money well. Every now and then, the urge to spend some hard-earned cash can see this sign packing some large shopping bags with fun and frivolous items out of the store. But as a rule, caution goes hand in hand with the Capricorn making practical purchases more likely than does anything else. Multi-functional items are definitely favored.

Love and Sex

The Capricorn is most often a serious lover preferring to take things slow and steady. You won’t see this sign jumping into anything headfirst. Taking relationships one step at a time is the way of the Capricorn. Words can be few with this personality, yet action speaks volumes. The Capricorn values deed and will go to great lengths to express their affections. They’re great gift givers, and don’t bat an eye at the costs of spending a fantastic night out. Genuine, and sincere, you can take what a Capricorn says to the bank.

Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause

People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you You,

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around Yes,

Can get in the way of what I feel for you You, you
Can get in the way of what I feel I know,

some people search the world
to find something like what we have I know,
people will try, try to divide something so real so 'till the end of time
I'm telling you that

No one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel or you

2007 VMA's

how i wish i was in vegas yesterday. the 2007 vma's was held @ the palms in vegas. for some odd reason im in party mode.lolz! unfortunately i had to watch this while i was laying down on my couch. for all those who missed this..u HAVE to watch this. hey at least it gave me some idea on what songs to download now. lets talk about the performances. well i only wanna comment really on 4 performances. dont get me wrong..all of 'em were great except for one..which brings me to ms britney spears.

i used to like britney spears, but what the hell happened to her during and after k-fed?..i was addicted watching her perform back in the days. in terms of performance, i gotta give it to britney. but voice wise..aguilera definitely has it in the bag. this was suppose to be her comeback performance (vma's) , but on stage , she didn't look like she wanted to perform at all. it really looked like she was still in dress rehearsals or something. maybe because she was uncertain how people were going to react in spite of every jaw-droppin headlines she's been making. her new song "gimme more" is pretty hot. its scheduled release will be on November. all i gotta say is that she could've at least amped up her performance.

next is chris brown. i just gotta say, i cant believe they make 'em this young nowadays. lolz! he is the next Michael Jackson in the making. his performance was off the hook! hey he even got a standing ovation. now that was a performance.!everybody was just in awe with this kid!

now i gotta give it to Alicia keys. she performed a reggae-like song 'no one/freedom'. she is one sexxy mama! i just love how people are so confident about themselves . it really does bring out the sexiness in a person. first of all, this lady sang live, played the piano and just rocked the house . she is one talented, beautiful performer alright!

the fourth one is 'bleed it out' with linkin park feat the maestro, timbaland. its like hip hop and hard rock. it kinda reminds me one of their songs feat jay-z NUMB- encore.

of course there were other performances held live at the suites of the palms hotel.it was a party in the making. if i was there i would've probably went to the southern hospitality party at JT's suite..which i might add is the name of his restaurant that i still ,have yet , to try out here in the city.

i also think kanye west's new album 'graduation' is the bomb..i guess its pretty obvious that I'm into the album coz both my songs in my music room and friendster are both from his album..STRONGER and GOOD LIFE.

if you missed the show click on http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1568786&vid=173440. enjoy!

2 best budz

i finally saw my homegirl Amy yesterday. the last time i saw this lad was back in 2004. i practically grew up with her and her sisters. we treat each other like family and consider each other as 'cuzins'. we used to do everything together, as in everything. but ever since her family moved to a different neighborhood , had a boyfriend, got married, relocated to CA and back, it hasn't been the same. but u know the foundation is there. regardless of time and space, as soon as you see each other, its like you're back to where u guys left off. she picked my up from my house and headed to one of my fav restaurants around my neighborhood, skinflints. one thing's for sure..we had to catch up on a lot of stuff! it was a perfect Friday nite for me. having dinner and drinks and chika to death with a close friend. we then went back to the house and showed her some pics in my computer.

AMZ, i just wanna say that u have grown to be a confident sexxy mama! i guess Elmo did something right coz i now see confidence and security within you. and that ,my friend, is what makes you sexxy! i admire that u have grown to be a mature woman. how time flies ha! but one thing never changed.. and that is just being a Brooklyn girl @ heart!

today another good friend of mine, Nicole , picked me up from my house and went to the city. we have been planning to walk around the city way before summer began. well that didn't happen alright!lolz! school's already starting and its just now that we started our journey to the city.lolz!
i had to bring her to METROBANK first in the city coz i had to send my dad's money back home. so that was a first for Nicole..goin to a Philippine bank in the city.lolz! we then ate lunch at this European cafe, chilled by the fountain, then hopped back on the subway to go southstreet seaport to see the bodies exhibit. i had told her about this exhibit and she was very interested , knowing that she's a discovery channel freak! after the exhibit we went to pier 17 and chilled. we got some frozen margaritas and out of nowhere decided to take a boat ride..i cant believe in a span of 3 months, Ive been to 3 boat rides. first- in the BEAST with Michelle and mark, second- in Miami with Kai, and third- the SHARK with Nicole. we had a BLAST in the SHARK ride. it was way better than the BEAST. it was like a roller coaster ride but in water. cole and i were hangin on for our dear lives.lolz! the $20 was so worth it. check out the videos in my multiply site. (just click the link on the right hand side of this page). after that we were too exhausted and just went home. we felt like we spent most of our time waiting in the station and being in the train. then i invited cole to rest for a couple of mins in the house then bounced.

COLE, i had so much fun..from the guy bustin his moves in the train, to you hitting your head on the boat rail, i just have to say that we have to do this again. just wanna thank you for everything you've done for me. i have learned so much from you. thanks for being an inspiration!

tomorrow i might go back to the city and figure out what ima wear next saturday for sarah geronimo's concert. also, cant wait to meet my cuz that i havent really met before.lolz! i guess that tells you how close our family is.lolz!

lookin forwardz..deux

now that I'm back in NY..what's the next thing I'm looking forward to?hmmm..Sarah Geronimo's concert on sept 15 at Hammerstein ballroom in the city. i actually asked one of my nephew sa insan?..to come with me. his mom is actually my first cousin on my father's side. now how did that come to be? well my dad is the youngest out of 7 kids and he married pretty late. so all ma cousins on his side are way older than me and they have kids who are around about the same age as i am, who i really feel comfortable calling them ma cuzins. but really, mga pamangkin ko na sila sa insan. i never met him before although he's in my friendster list. what's up with me with meeting up with relatives and old school friends who i don't seem to remember?..lolz! tickets cost 98, 78, 58 bucks and if you wanna go to the after party there's an additional 20 bucks . but the one for 98 bucks is all inclusive already.

I'm also looking forward to one of the long over-due trips that Nicole and i were suppose to do.its not really a trip coz its just going around the city and taking pics. so maybe we'll do it this weekend. the more we plan the more it doesn't push through.

i cant believe summer's over already! and what a way to end it with a trip to Miami. a perfect way to end the summer.

miami day 3, 4 & 5

3rd day was when we hit the beach!right after breakfast we went to the beach .we were there around 830. i wanted to be there early coz when it gets packed u lose a chair and umbrella. but i guess it was private so even if you came there around 10 u'll still get a chair. we just took mad pictures and basically worked on our tan.we also went in the water. unlike the beaches in NY, the water in Miami is warm and feels like u could just stay in there forever. even in the beach the hotel staff was very attentive to ur needs. and one thing about the weather in Miami, besides that its steaming hot, it would be cloudy then sun would come out..or it would shower for like 20 mins then the sun would again come out. after lunch we walked around the beach again then went back to the room. we then decided to walk around south beach. so from the hotel which was on 30th st, we walked all the way to 7th..lakad trip talaga.lolz! by the time we got back to the hotel, which we had to take a cab, we were just exhausted.again a few drinks and we slept like a baby!

4th day was beach time again. so we were there till 2pm after which we decided to grab lunch at lario's(which gloria estefan owns and is known for the best mojito's in town). she owns 3 restaurants. 2 bongo restaurants and lario's which is the nearest one in our hotel. we walked around southbeach. we went to versace's mansion again. we saw it during our bus tour but we didnt have a picture of us ova there. on the way there we met this crazy dude dressed in fishnet stockings and leather suit with a catwoman mask on his face.i guess he's kinda like the naked cowboy of NYC.lolz!

5th day was when we went home...

it was a very relaxing vacation for me , besides all the flight mishaps that i experienced but it was all worth it. maybe alot of u are wondering why i didn't go out like out -out during my vacation..well i was in beach mode and i wanted to get away from stress and loud surroundings. I'm planning a vegas trip as well so i guess I'll get my groove on when I'm there.lolz! I'm glad i went to Miami! sa uulitin!

miami day 2

the 'boxer party' ended at 4am and we woke up 730 for breakfast. i always get up late so i was really surprised that i was up that early on my vacation. the only bad thing about eating in the hotel is that the food is ridiculously over priced.and that goes for every hotel. after we ate our breakfast we went to the concierge and asked about the city and boat tour that i saw online. there was 2 trips, leaving at 930am and 1230pm. we opted for the latter one. so we walked around the boardwalk then took a shower and got ready for the tour.the bus picked us up in front of the hotel, the good thing was we were the first one in the bus together with the other people from the hotel that wanted to do the tour.he drove us around southbeach, art deco district, the marina, coconut grove, coral gables, little Havana and Miami. that trip took about 2hours and 30 mins. after the bus tour, the driver/tour guide dropped us off to bayside for our boat tour. the place looked so familiar and it was only after the boat tour and we were walking around Bayside that i realized that I've been here before. but that was like 5 years ago. anyways, the boat tour was extraordinary. it was also a 2 hour 30 min tour. we went up close and personal to the marina where they film the TV series and movie, Miami vice and i forgot the other movie with Mel Gibson?its at the tip of my tongue..aaaarrrggghhh!!cant remember. then we went to fisher island and where the stars lived...star island. the houses, oh I'm sorry , the mansions were unbelievable. i thought i would only see those mansions @ cribs (MTV show) ..it was a surreal experience. famous celebrities live in star island or has a mansion ova there. stars like rosie o donnell, elizabeth taylor, scarface, julio iglesias, tony mottolla, the guy that owns payless shoe store( who we saw fishing), shaquil o neal, tony parker, famous football players that i really don't know who they are coz i don't watch football, gloria estefan..and many more.it was a great tour!

we ate at bayside right after the tour, walked around and took pictures. i had to buy my bikini ova there since i couldn't find anymore swimwear in NYC coz everything in the store is now for the fall season. going back to the hotel was annoying coz of the traffic. i literally felt like i was in manila. its worse than the traffic here in NY.it was really a manila traffic alright.

when we got to the hotel we rested for like an hour and hit the pool. night swimming is the best.after 3 hours..lolz. we went back to the room and chilled with my hommie alan again..we didn't really finished what we were drinking the night before so ...he was there to finish whatever's left.lolz!we told him about the tour which he got really jealous and wanted to do the same tour we did. after a few hours he left and we went to sleep.

miami day one

I'm off today which gives me the time to write about my Miami trip. so let me start off when i got out of MIA. bedazzled by my luggage being lost i couldn't really concentrate that i was already in Miami. although i really felt all grown up at that time..u know hailing a cab, going to the hotel, checking in ..it just established my independence. when Kai and i got to the hotel i informed the concierge that someone will be dropping off my luggage pass 11pm. the hotel lobby was elegant and chic at the same time. when we got to our room i thought i would be disappointed, being that i read most of the reviews online. we got the city view room coz that was the cheapest room..but it didn't look cheap at all (it better not coz it cost us 750 bucks for the 5day 4 night stay). well i really didn't do anything when we got to the room ..i mean i would've unpacked my stuff but ooohh..wait...yeah..i didn't have my luggage! we stayed in the room for like an hour so that Kai can get her stuff together.we then went to the hotel restaurant and ate dinner..and by that time i was so hungry i could eat a horse.the staff was excellent, they attended to our every needs..very friendly.after dinner we walked around the hotel then out to the beach. the cool thing about this hotel is that they have everything..like u have ur own little island world . aside from the pool, pool bar, gazebo, hotel bar, restaurant, spa, complimentary yoga classes in the morning, fitness center...the best part was the private access to the beach. right pass the pool area you could walk to the beach. there's also a very chic looking boardwalk so u could jog/ walk sunrise/sunset. check out http://thepalmshotel.com . we then went to the beach. there's something about being on the beach at night.its just so relaxing so we took a couple of pics although u couldn't really see anything but whatever.lolz.. we sat down and we got to know more about each other. as we were talking there was a guy in a blue shirt that was walking in front of us and of course made a segway and started a conversation. he mentioned that he was there with friends but couldn't really understand them coz they don't really speak a word of English. so blah blah blah..Kai then asked him to bring his friends over so we could meet them.at this point i wasn't really in the mood to meet more people maybe because i was still thinking where the hell my luggage was. so he came back with his friend.. that omg..let me just tell u guys when i saw him i was like ' the hell with ma luggage' LOLZ! who cares if he didn't really know how to speak in English..he is H-O-T HOT! at first all of us we're talking to each other and at the end Kai ended up talking to Ralph and i ended up talking to pietru! he's from Maldives. i love his accent. he talked like ylmaz bektas ba yun (ruffa's hubby?)..but there's one thing that men all over the world have in common..they could still deliver a good pick up line.LOLZ! i was surprised. this guy didnt know what 'rain ' meant but when he asked me where im from originally and i told him that i was from the Philippines..all of a sudden he was just like every other guy that i know..'are all the girls over there as beautiful as you' NAKS naman! i wouldve gotten at least his email add at that time but he was only 23. why do they make them so young now?!lolz! anyway, kai was a lil bit annoyed already with ralph and was sending me signals like to get out of there so i had to cut my chit chat with pietru short. the good thing about that meeting was it did get my mind off my baggage. we went back to our room and at that time i just had to borrow some of kai's clothes coz i couldnt take it anymore. a few mins later my friend alan txtd me and was askin when i was goin to fl. of course i was like im already here dumbell..lolz. so we set up a time to meet up. he got to the hotel around 1230am, which wasnt the time that we set up for.lolz! he drove us around southbeach . he was suppose to be our tour guide , but really u couldnt get anything out of this guy coz he's relatively new to the neighborhood as well. he's only been there for like a month, not even. after which we went back to the hotel and had a couple of drinks. that was really fun..i shouldve had that on video or something.

a week ago from today..

its so funny when u're there in the place it just feels like its nothing. it didn't even feel like i was in a different place at that time. but once u get home and think about it..that's when u get all sentimental. alot happened during my trip.well not really alot , but for me that was a lot since i usually just stay home and all. its just weird how exactly a week ago from today i was there ..1140pm? i was in the hotel lobby waiting for my luggage to be delivered..(yeah i gotta tell u about that..wait, i think i actually did on my last piece 'flight mishaps')..but yeah..the first night was already a crazy night for me. i still have to write about what happened in my trip. i just missed Miami all of a sudden, knowing that i didn't even consider Florida as one of my choices to go for vacation. weird noh..! i will always treasure this trip. never thought i would say this but...miss ko Miami. (sigh)

flight mishaps

i don't even know where to begin. i guess I'll start from the time i left the house.as soon as my car service arrived that's where my adventure began. i got to JFK around 950am, a 20 min drive from my house.thank God there weren't any traffic. my flight was @ 1135am . i was thinking of doing the curbside check-in but i was afraid that my luggage would get lost so i opted to do the traditional way of checking in the bags which is going inside the airport, waiting in line and all. when i got to the American airlines section the line was a lil long than i expected. i only had to check in one baggage and get my boarding pass. i would've done the self service booth since i had the e-ticket but i had like an hour and i didn't wanna take any chances. maybe if i came in like 2 hours before my flight i would've experimented with the self service line. anyways, after checking in and going through security i waited at the gate. i had a direct flight going there so it would only take me 2 hours and 30 mins. of course the flight was delayed. and as soon as we boarded we had to wait another 30 mins. so in total the flight was delayed for an hour. and that's where it all started. i must say American airlines is really cheap. the only thing u could get for free are the drinks. even if you wanted peanuts u have to buy it. to think they should offer more since they're losing business from what happened on 9/11. so that pissed me off as well. I'm glad that i decided to eat breakfast before go in to the airport or else i would've probably collapsed from starvation. when i got to Miami int'l airport (MIA), Kai already called and informed me that she was already there so i told her to meet me at baggage claim. little did i know that i wasn't waiting for anything since they lost my luggage! somehow i knew this was going to happen since Ive been thinking about this for like a week. i mean u know how it is in the movies..wherein the airline loses the luggage and they just deliver it to your house. i couldn't believe what was happening to me. at that point i thought this will not be a good trip for me. so i went to baggage claim service and reported the situation. they told me the aircraft could only hold a specific weight and all before it could take off. all extra baggage will be placed on the next flight. they said my luggage should be on the next flight coming in to MIA from JFK..and that flight doesn't come in till 820pm. i got to MIA at 4pm.they said if i want they could just deliver it to my hotel. last shift for delivering baggage was at 11pm. at that point i just wanted to go to the hotel .i couldn't believe that i was stressed out already on my first day of vacation.

so what happened going back to JFK? knowing that i wont be flying American airlines anymore gave me some relief after what i experienced with them losing my luggage. this time i was flying delta airlines..but i have a connecting flight in Cincinnati, Ohio. everything was going great.i left extra early from the hotel so i could check in my bags and made sure that they will get to new york. but then again my flight was delayed again for like 40 mins since they were working on the AC. all of a sudden it hit me..if I'm late 40 mins i would also be late for my connecting flight. i would've only had to wait 30 mins in Ohio before i flew to NY. i was hoping that that flight would be delayed since all my flights from this trip was all delayed. we landed in Ohio 316pm and my next flight was scheduled for 315. i really felt i was in the movies. u know..when u run in the airport catching the next flight hoping that they wont leave u kinda thing?..what are the chances? well that was the only flight that i would've been in that was on time. so i missed my flight. at this point i couldn't believe what was happening to me. going to Florida i lose my luggage, and going back to NY i miss my flight. surreal right! i know!..so i went to customer service and they said the next flight leaving Ohio going to JFK was at 725pm..which means i have to wait for like 4 hours. they also gave me a meal voucher worth 7 bucks . at that point i called Nicole, Alan, mark, and Karen. they all said the same thing at this point..'YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME?!'

with all this being said ,i must say this was a surreal experience. hey at least i know what to do the next time this happens. no regrets..it actually spiced up my trip.LOLZ!

* i will be writing about my whole trip, just wanted to get the flight mishaps out of the way* wink!

"transFeRmeRs"- by manila bulletin columnist Joey de Leon

Message: joey de leon is one wise man! that's why i will always be a kapuso..at heart!you would think that kris aquino(who i also think is wise) had the ball in her court, so to speak, but joey de leon got the last laugh.


A little more than a week ago, I read somewhere in this paper that someone(Kris Aquino) in the Kapamilya network remarked that, "Ang kapamilya hindi napapalitan, pero ang puso pwedeng i-transplant," obviously referring to the well-publicized and quite controversial transfer of a former known kapuso to their side (Angel Locsin).

Well, maybe I thought, they even got an ovation for that statement from their audience and followers. And maybe too, the person who thought of it found the idea cute and brilliant. Hmmm... but you know, throughout history, there havebeen lines spoken, and even by thegreatest of men, which when carefullyexamined closely, are silly and untrue.

Take for instance 'You can't have your cake and eat it, too.' And, 'the best things in life are free.' Not quite true, right? Yung first one pwede siguro if you're a big star in television andyou have a lot of what you call in thebusiness exchange deals.

Or you're a young goddess of a woman and you have a filthy rich provider who islike a faucet hot and cold. But all these have a "kapalit," kaya nga exchange deal, eh. In the first one, thebig star will have to plug always. And in the second one, the sexy goddess will always be plugged.
Transferring networks, or even working for some of these TV stations at the same time ("grossing the net"or"inter-networking") is not new to me.Remember, I belong to the only daily show in Philippine TV history, or maybethe world, which have aired in three different major networks; surviving and outlasting five presidents... and still counting! Yes, we are the KONTOT (KingsOf Network Transfers On Television)! We are the Transfermers!
That is why this issue about this angel from heaven, I mean seven, who transferred to you know where, is the least of anxieties. I really just findtheir statement so untrue and unfair,and I feel I need to react (and besides,wala akong article for this week). O,eto natatagalugin ko na para mas maydating at may diin. At saka tutal Tagalog din naman yung binitiwang mga salita eh. Ready?
Maganda lang siguro pakinggan yung mga sinabi n'yo, pero ikinalulungkot ko,mali eh. Para bang isang babaeng nagparetoke . mukha lang maganda, pero hindi totoo.


Una, pwede bang magharap kayo sa akin ng tao na nagpa-transplant ng puso na nagtagal ang buhay?! Pwede talaga, pero pwede bang magtagal?

Pangalawa, lalo na sa panahon ngayon,ang daling magpalit ng pamilya ng mga tao. Yung iba nga may pamilya dito, maypamilya duon eh. Sa showbiz na lang ilan sa inyo at sa atin ang nagpalit na ngpamilya?

Sa totoo lang, ito ang mas tumpak ang puso natin ay mahirap palitan, pero ang pamilya pwede at pwede pang dagdagan.

At eto pa ang isang dumadagundong na katotohanan : pwede tayong mabuhay nangwalang pamilya, pero hindi tayo pwedeng mabuhay ng walang puso.

online business

well i finally opened my 2 -week overdue mail.lolz..2 bills i had to pay online coz i know if i mail it , it wont be there on time and then ima be charged with a late fee..which i dont want to happen. i also had to update my checking account, not that it has millions in it, but i just had to post some transactions that should've been there 2 weeks ago. then i have to do a transfer money from my dad's account to my account. you're probably thinking why im taking my dad's money..well that's because i can.LOLZ! i'll just do that over the phone.i guess that's what so good about the banks ova here..u could do bank transactions all day, 24/7, online or over the phone.talk about guarding your money!

i never did like doing business online. but hey, its much faster, it saves you time from writing checks out and mailing it, it saves you on stamps, the company gets ur payment right away, you get the confirmation right away, and it saves trees! the downside?..well if your computer hangs/crashes, and online hackers. but if you have an internet security program then there's really nothing to worry about.

all by myself

well its official..I'm literally all by myself...again! my dad and brother just left a couple of mins ago for pinas. u know sometimes you just want to get rid of them coz u're so annoyed with them ,but when that time comes that they leave, its still sad. i guess when it comes down to family u will really have that spot in your heart that will always forgive them no matter what..even if you have a dysfunctional family.

i really hope they have a safe flight. the only thing that makes me jealous is when everybody is there in pinas..together. even if our family disagrees with each other a lot to almost everything, its still classic how we make each other laugh our hearts out. i don't know...maybe its only our family that's like this..but then again, everybody has their own little dramas in life.

upgrade

in a span of 8 days i had to upgrade 2 important things..my cellphone and my digicam.


cELlpHonE-

now..im not the type of person that's into the latest model ng cellphone. hey as long as i could text and call somebody then im good to go. its ridiculous how some people spend almost half of their paycheck just for the latest model. dont get me wrong..u have every right to use ur money at ur own expense its just not practical..unless u have it like that. and i really dont like to change my things.as much as possible i wanna keep everything i own in use.so what happend? i was fixing my bed, i get the blanket to fold and what do u know..my phone falls off from the blanket..now i dropped my phone a couple of times and im notorious in doin that..but i guess this time it just gave up on me. i could live without having a phone for a while coz i dont pick up my calls anyway..its just that im goin to florida and im meeting karen in the airport (MIA) and basically we have to keep each other posted. so i really cant afford to not have a phone.so i went to a local tmobile dealership around my place and asked if i could upgrade to a new phone.and by that i mean the free phones.lolz..so since i got a motorolla already he gave me i guess the better version of what i had before.its a good thing since its almost the same features and i dont have to play with it alot to know whats goin on.

dIgIcAM-

now ive had my olympus digicam since 2003. there was a snowstorm in town when i bought that camera so it was really unforgettable for me.how my dad and i conquered that snowstorm just to get to best buy and pirchase the camera was really an experience alright..lolz..so anyway this just started yesterday..you know what happend(read the blog before this), so i was taking pics and all of a sudden the lens zoomed back in like i was shutting it off.now at first i thought the battery died out on me or something.when i got home i charged the battery and started viewing the pics.the problem was i couldnt take pics.i could view the pics but i cant take pictures.when i slide the lens cover the camera should automatically come on..but it wont.this really pissed me off. coz i didnt wanna buy a new camera.but of course everything has to happen when im about to go to vacation and of course there's no sense of goin if you dont have a camera to capture those unforgettable moments. i went to a place near my work to see if they repair digicams.they do repair but he said its better buying a new one. now i was goin to have it repaired regardless if i bought a new one coz i might as well give it to my bro(wow bait..kahit ayaw ko sa kanya). now he was showing me another olympus camera..but i think he was just jerking me off with the package.he was selling it to me for 200 which is not bad but the only thing i didnt like is that when i asked him if it comes with the memory card he said no..meanwhile when he opened the box the memory card was right inside the instruction packet. i didnt even have my credit card with me..well the major one..the one that i always use now.so i had to use my other one.for some reason it was declining the transaction..maybe it was a sign not to buy it from him. first of all i dont know why it was declining the purchase coz after i paid off my full balance with that card i havent used it at all.maybe thats why?coz i havent use the card in awhile?..but i never heard of such a thing.well anyway after that i went to my bank at and got myself some cash.lolz..and then i thought to myself,let me go to circuit city and just look around. to make the long story short i ended up buying a new olympus camera. its better than before .i upgraded to a 7.2 megapixel from a 3.0. i did have to buy a new memory card coz mine wasnt compatible with the new one.i mean it is but it will only take like 10 pics with the memory card that i was using.the girl was explaining all these technical chuvanes..lolz..which i really dont give a damn about..but she was very nice and accomodating. i wouldve hooked her up with my friend alan as well if he was still here eventhough she was only 21 but he likes 'em young anyways..lolz..which ended up opening another credit card account since i forgot my visa at home and citi card doesnt work.o well,lolz.i guess its another collection.as of now i feel like i have the camera for free since i used my new circuit city credit card which i got approved on right there and then.its amazing how they just approve u in like 5mins.the camera costs 250 and the memory card is 30 bucks. so not bad..the one i had before cost me 300 bucks and look at it now..one dysfunctional piece of $&!@

click on this to view my new digicam..lolz.. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/OS740/OS740A.HTM

first there was my cellphone, then the tornado, then my digicam..i'll be dammed if my ipod breaks next. i hope there will be no more surprises. i thought i had it cheap already for my vacation..lolz
