The End Of The Machine

The last maker of manual typewriters ~
Godrej and Boyce in Mumbai ~
has called it quits ~



I remember learning to type in HIGH SCHOOL! "Intro To Typing"
We had an electric typewriter ... had soo much fun in that class.



Now, all I hope for is that I can start a collection of vintage typewriters.

Did any of you know it??

I never knew it was WINDSOR ~

Princess Kate Middleton Windsor!

How pretty.
How lucky.

Happy Easter!

Every year I watch this!!

My favorite scenes is Peppermint Patty and Marcie attempting to make Easter Eggs, except Marcie does not know how to COOK the eggs!!

Too funny!

Palm Sunday

Every Palm Sunday, I love making Palm Crosses while waiting for mass to begin, then having my cross blessed.



I just love her use of vocabulary ... "palm thingys" !!

MacBook Air

I love this commercial ~ I love the song (would have been in my itunes library) ~ but because it doesn't have a DVD drive, and I prefer the thicker one ~

I'll buy the "regular" MacBoook.

MacBook Shopping

I'm going to GIVE UP on finding what is wrong with my Dell XP!!

It's a sign that I should get a laptop, and I've decided to get
a MacBook!!

Blue Screen Of Death: Part 5

Writing Withdrawal

I hate not having a computer to write on at home.

Having 2 hours at the library is not enough.

Trying to type using the computer at work is not enough.

I need to write at home!

Free Ice Cream!!

Yay!!

I just hope the lines won't be too long!!

Had enjoyed Team G-Mak Waltz!!

I just think it was a minor "mishap" that her shoe came "off"

Dell Just Crashed!!

I think my computer just crashed!!

Had tried to restart, press F8, go on Safe Mode and I keep getting error screens!!

April Showers

I feel all gloomy and sad.

I've haven't gone to a movie recently and I haven't read as much books as I should have.

I really want to write as much as I can.

Book Reviews
Movie Reviews

Randam chit chats.

But I can't feel anything. It seems like a gloomy day. But it's not raining outside. Just in me.

Sprout

I keep thinking of moving out of this apartment, and for some reason, I really want to have a small area to garden, or a nice view/window where I could put some flowers or plants.

It's already the first of the month ... and writing this rent check does not make me happy.

I want to be able to write everyday, and I hope reading other blogs listed in the NaBloPoMo site will help me.

DWTS - Week Two

Not as exciting as last week, but still a nice performance.
Love the Quickstep with "Black Horse And The Cherry Tree"

LensCrafters Purchase

I finally decided to buy new glasses!!

Had a choice of:

2 pairs of glasses for $99.99 from Sears
(which was lacking in selection)

2 pairs of glasses for $88.99 from JC Penny
(lacking in selection as well)

20% insurance coverage from Kaiser Optical
(same selection problem)

40-50% off Frames from LensCrafters
(soo much to choose from)

I CHOSE LENS CRAFTERS ~

The glasses that I saw in January was still there!! This time it was on sale from $139.95 down to $124.98

And on top of that ~ I had a 40% discount!!

I knew that the lenses/anti-refelective/scratch-resistance extras would probably cost me more ... and it did ... but I thought that it was worth it.

Will see (ha) in two weeks!!

DWTS - Season 12

I'm for team Maks and Kristie!!




Wow!! Kristie was amazing!! And I just love how they were able to Cha-cha to "Forget You" !!

Eight

A couple days ago, someone came up to me at the desk and said:

"you've been working here for a long time"

I said yes, It'll be 8 years on Saturday.

For some reason, whenever someone says that to me, I feel kinda sad. That I really shouldn't be here. That I should be working somewhere else.

But I'm still here. At least I have a job right?!?

I know people who are still desperately looking for a job, I'm really lucky that I've been employed this long and that I'm making money to pay the bills. But I want to do more.

I need my bliss.

Eight years was too long not to be where my bliss is at.

Mystery Shopping + Paypal + Gold Starbucks Card = Happy

I finally got paid for the Mystery Shopping I did in February!! I remember getting an email from Starbucks that I could reload from my PayPal Account.

Whoo Hoo!!

Another Cafe Mocha & Pops for me!

What To Do With A Refund

I kinda procastinated with filing my taxes and now that I know how much I'm getting, I'm debating whether or not to:

1. Save Money
2. Shop for shoes
3. Shop for EXPENSIVE glasses
4. Shop for Formal dress
5. Take a vacation

Do all of those?

Spring Forward

I just realized that It'll be dark out tomorrow morning when I leave my apartment for work at 6:00am :-(

Hope my sleep pattern won't be off!
