Happy New Year!

Ilang oras na lang new year na!

Happy New Year sa inyong lahat...

Sana maging fruitful ang 2008 nating lahat...

Mas malakas na parents...

Mas maraming pagkain...

Mas maayos, masaya na trabaho (at mataas na sweldo :p)...

Stronger sa pagharap sa lahat ng problema...

..........

May we reach all our targets this year 2008!!!

Happy New Year po!!!

That's Life, Joy

Malungkot ang bagong taon ngayon. Hindi kasi dito sa bahay mag-New Year ang sister ko.Nakasanayan ko lang na magkakasama kami sa mga ganitong events. Kahit pa sa mga panahon na rin na 'to hindi kayo nagkakasundo.

Pero tulad ng sabi ni Papa, kailangang mag-adjust ng mga magulang kapag nag-asawa ng anak nila.

At tulad ng sabi ng kaibigan ko, "That's life. At least you know they're just there".

Kailangan ko na rin talagang tanggapin na nag-asawa na si ate, at hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon andito sya at hindi habang-buhay kumpleto kami.

Makakasanayan ko din to.

Very very busy..


Haayy.. sobrang busy.. ang dami kong kailangang gawin na di ko nagawa/magawa.
  • Dumaan ang wedding ng sis ko. Ang hirap palang maging Maid of Honor.. Whew!
  • Nag-Chistmas pa.
Kaya.....
  • One week na kong walang workout (laki na tiyan.. :c).
  • Na-rush yung pagbili ko ng regalo.
  • Kulang-kulang pa yung gifts ko.
  • Kulang din sa tulog at pahinga.
  • Walang update sa blog ko.
  • Di pa ko nakakapag-upload ng pics.
  • Di pa rin ako nakakapaglaba.
  • At marami pang iba...
  • (Wala pa yung mga kailangang gawin sa trabaho...)
Nagkasakit pa ko (mild lang naman) sa sobrang daming gawa... Pero kaya pa naman. :)

Journey Down the Aisle

Last night, habang naglalakad sa overpass someone gave me a calling card. Is this the answer in my previous post?

Uhm, maybe I'll try it sometime.

This Year's Plans, Next Year's Predictions

This year:
  • My sister's going to get married this December and she'll move out of the house.
  • My father's retiring from his job by the end of the month.
  • My brother and his family will be moving out too as soon as he gets his own house.
Next year:
  • No more crying baby and makulit at home.
  • Tahimik na lalo ang bahay.
  • Tatay ko mas lalong mabo-bore.
  • No more electricity and water bills payers.
  • More responsibilities will be assigned to me.
But the problems is:
  • I still haven't got a good business or,
  • I haven't thought of any good way to earn additional income!
And so:
  • I have to do a weekend job or,
  • I have to work double-time.
  • No more trips.
  • No more luxuries.
  • No more DSL and telephone line (para bawas gastos).
  • I need to transfer my FF's membership to others.
  • I need to be much more kuripot.
Unless:
  • My sister gets her first baby soon, surely she'll go back to our house.
  • My sister gets pregnant this January, so by September a new baby invades our house. yay!
  • My brother gets his house and decides to put it out for lease.
  • My brother unluckily doesn't find a good house.
  • I get a bigger house for the whole family.

Reading files in your iPhone

What's nice about the iPhone, it supports files like word doc, pdf, text, excel and html. But unlike the other phones, iPhone doesn't have a file manager.

I had to install Apache, scp to iPhone with u:root and p:dottie credentials and move the stuff to /Library/WebServer/Documents/ to access the files. Then, access http://127.0.0.1 /<filename.ext>. Note that your iPhone has to be unlocked before doing so.

It works fine but I think a file manager would still be better.

Update (12/11/07 11:31): This also applies to iPod. See howtos in the internet on how to unlock it.

Update (12/06/08 3:06): You can try "alpine" as your password if dottie is not working.

Gift Ideas

Every year I work hard to think of something for my family and friends. I enjoy getting them something they'd love to have. My plan is to get them a bit simpler but more personalized gifts this year. But my nose is bleeding now from thinking. To get some ideas, I thought of listing down the gifts I received and I gave last year. I hope this would be also helpful for you, in case you are having a hard time too in finding nice gifts for them.

Here are some gift ideas:

A) What I received and I had for them:
  • Shopping package :D
  • Branded undies
  • A (Marithé+François Girbaud) wallet
  • Cash
  • A nice umbrella
  • Spa Relax Incense
  • (The North Face) laptop bag
  • Videoke CD
  • A pair of bedroom slippers
  • Brownies
  • Little pillows
  • A "Welcome" home decor
  • DVD movie
  • Bracelet
  • A nice furry keychain
  • Travel mug
  • Personalized (Starbucks) tumbler
  • (Let's Face It) gift certificate
  • A nice dress for my niece
  • A pair of watches for my parents
  • (La Coste) Perfume
  • (Bench) Underwear
  • (Silverworks) Pendant
  • (Hersheys) Chocolates
  • Kikay Kit for my inaanak
But of course, I will not forget to include my wish list. This might also help you, anyway.. :D

B) My Wishlist:
  • Computer table
  • Asus EEE PC :D
  • External hard drive
  • A nice jacket (I love jackets!)
  • One month FF monthly fee :D
  • A camera battery, Li-ion Battery NB-2LH
  • Rechargeable AA Nimh batteries
  • A camera tripod
  • SD Card
  • Driving lesson fee
  • Volleyball
May magbigay kaya sakin? ;))
  • pwede rin, cge na.. :D
C) Gift for someone you don't know:
Approach one to two persons na tingin mo can't afford to celebrate Christmas like you do. Give something to him. Share anything you can share (like buying him a meal from a food chain or something) and then leave a simple message. See his face once he receives your surprise. You'll feel good. This will just take a minute.
