Silly (Looking) Me

I am in my sleepshirt and boots.  Hehehe.  I am stretching out knee-high boots.  I hope to make them comfortable enough for my winter trips by the end of the year. I wore them once last winter.  After several hours of walking, it rubbed against my leg.  I couldn't wear them again during the trip.  I just wasted luggage space on something I wore once. I am going to wear them everyday until it is not too snug.  I am going to wear them every morning till they're comfortable enough to dance in.

Bug!

Since I've transition to a desktop, I have never opened an email attachment successfully.  I always received this error "filename path contains invalid characters" I never really understood what it meant because I couldn't see invalid characters in the attachment filename.  Until I stumbled on a forum that suggested changing the folder name from "\XXXXX" to "/XXXXX." Amazingly, it worked!  I have forgotten how one measly character can cause so much problem when dealing with computers. I hope this helps you in the future.

Food Promos at the EDSA Shangri-la

The dim sum buffet at the Summer Palace had come and gone.  I felt as if the price wasn't worth it.  The dim sum carts were too far in between.  Most of the time, our favorites weren't on them.  We often had to request the waiter for siopao, spare ribs and scallops.  The add-ons (soup, noodles and taro-sago dessert) weren't something to rave about. On another note, there's are other food promos from the other EDSA Shang restaurants. Unfortunately, this offer expired yesterday.  Here's another one you might be interested in.  I apologize for the creases, but you get the message anyway. With the function rooms and ballrooms undergoing renovation, I feel that this won't be the end of the food promos.  I'll be waiting.

2012!

I can't believe it's only September.  After the Habagat flooding, a bout of viral infections, and Papa's Angioplasty, I feel so tired.  Sometimes, I feel like I've already used up my annual energy ration.  Forgive me if I just want to laze around in bed till noon.  Those are rare, these days. Christmas is just around the corner.  I am not quite ready for that.  Before Christmas, The Ateneo Chamber Singers will stage four concerts.  Then there's this year-end trip with the family.  Immediately after that is the ACS trip to Hokkaido. My days till June 2013 are already accounted for.  I hope that there won't be too many MAJOR changes to my schedule.  Asa pa ko! Then, there's this spa business I need to set up before November. I am not complaining.  I am grateful that the Lord is keeping me busy.  I just wish I could squeeze in some ME time, and maybe a few leisure trips. I will start off with this on Thursday Then a Saturday date with the kids f
