31 in 31 days!

In 31 days ... Im going to be 31 years OLD!!!

Last year I freaked about turning 30 ... have I accomplished things
in my "list" ??? Not everything!!

Well ya'all have a month to go shopping ... but here is my
Birthday wish list!

1) Digital Camera
2) ipod (pink)
3) LOST DVD
4) Desperate Housewives DVD
5) The Complete My So Called Life DVD Collection (I still dont have it!)
6) Gift Cards: Express / Victorias Secret / Barnes & Noble
7) Gift Certificate to AMC Theatres OR Loews Theatres
8) running shoes / 5 lb weights / Yoga blocks / Yoga Ball (the big one)
9) Final Draft software (i have an OLD burnt copy)

The Wedding Date

Okay...so this was the first DVD I watched this year...and
it was "just o.k." ... in my opinion. I should have listened to
my friend Mike who said it was "stupid" ... but I didnt think
it was "stupid" .. it just wasnt "great" and will not find its
way to my "collection".

Dermont Mulroney was hot as always ... but I do think that
the movie poster does NOT flatter him at all!!! I enjoyed
watching Debra Messing ... away from her "Will & Grace"
role.

The only thing that bothered me in this movie is that
Nick & Kat didnt really have much quality time together
for me to believe that Nick would really give up his
"profession" for her. So yeah .. they "got it on" but
really ... I dont think they spent enough time for me to
believe they should be a couple.

Well worth my $1 rental at the library

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I finally got the chance to watch this movie!!

Overall ... I really enjoyed this movie ... considering this was my
favorite from all the books. A friend of mine at work reminded me
of all the things that were missing in the movie ... but it actually
worked out fine ... its just been a long time since I read the book
anyways.

I cant wait for "The Order of the Phoenix" to come out ... I just
hate what happens in the end though.

I really should have watched this movie sooner!!!

Christmas Trees Everywhere

We took our Christmas (Holiday) Tree down at work today. The fresh pine scent
will no longer be filling the lobby.

I've noticed that other people have "trashed" their trees as well. One still had
light bulbs wrapped around it ... another was blocking a sidewalk I usually take.
My neighbor still has theirs lighted up by the window ... I think its fake ... but
I dont think it matters ... its still pretty all decorated and lit up.

Reading & Time

I've finally finished "Shopgirl" and about half-way to "The Other Woman".
Im going to TRY to read a novel everyday this whole year ... I just have to
find time between work ... writing .. and watching TV and DVDs and going
to the MOVIES.

I thought of getting books on tape and CD for the times I walk and ride the
bus ... but I think I'll stick with listening to music while I read.

Just go to the "Roz Is Reading" to checkup on my progess ...

Goodbye 2005

Well ... 2005 will be over in a couple of hours .. and a new year is about
to begin. There were sooo many things I wish I could change .. but
really ... I have NO regrets (well ... maybe just one or two) .. seriously ...

Im thankful for soo many things
I've turned 30 this year!!

In 2006 ... i've got changes in mind ... hopefully I can achieve that goal

Happy New Year Everyone!

Another Reason To Love My Computer

I can watch TV!

I can record TV shows!

I bought a cable splitter and hooked up a cable line to my computer ... I was impressed
with the quality of the picture ... I tested out the Program Recording .. at 5pm I selected
to watch "Hot Properties" at 9:30pm ... AND IT RECOREDED THE SHOW! I guess
I have to keep my computer on to use this feature. But its a better quality than my
VHS tapes.

Strange Shower

Just when I thought this whole SHOWER problem was over ... something
happens!

I started the shower ... but at some point there was this STRANGE SOUND
and the water started to lose pressure! I got paranoid so I turned off the
shower ... then used the Tabo again .. then I turned on the shower awhile
later .. it would work fine ... BUT THEN THE WATER PRESSURE WOULD
go LOW ... and a strange LOUD sound would go off again ... please tell me
that these pipes wont burst!

Bathroom Finished

Finally ... my bathroom is finished!

The ceiling is there ... New Paint on the ceiling ... and ofcourse ... what
started all of it ... the pipes seems to be working!!

My neighbor upstairs began her shower/bath ... and there WASNT any
water dripping from the window or ceiling!!

How long will this last!

Cant Sleep

Can't Sleep ... some much going on ... stress ... stress !

I love my computer ... but I feel that I'm not doing anything productive.

Bathroom Not Finished

Well ... some progress has taken place in my bathroom. The ceiling is there ... but
a major paint job needs to be done. I decided not to put anything in there yet. I
did notice that the maintenance guys used my hand soap ... It was running low
and I noticed that there was water in the container ... THEY WATERED DOWN
my hand soap!!

Shower without using "the shower"

Okay ... I needed to bathe / shower this morning ... I didn't wet my hair ..
but I did run the water and used the Tabo to pour water over my body.
I was able to shower at Kuya Rommels house ... but still I didnt want to
"not shower" today ... tomorrow they work on the ceiling ... then I dont
have to worry about this ... AGAIN!

No Bath Until Tuesday

My Apt Manager called me at work and told me work wont be dont in my
bathroom until Tuesday ... THATS FOUR DAYS!! ... She said that I could
still take a bath/shower ... but its creepy to have the pipes / beams exposed
while Im taking a shower. I really dont want to keep asking Nora if I could
shower at work ... it was nice I was able to do it today ... but not for more.

I will not use the shower tomorrow .. maybe just the Tabo .. or maybe I
wont take a shower and go to Kuya Rommels house Christmas Eve ... and
shower there instead!

Thats a better idea ... I dont sweat that much anyway!

Christmas Shopping

I've never been sooo exhausted!!

It was my day off so I decided to finally go Christmas Shopping.

Started at Target at 8:30am -- bought one gift

While waiting for the bus .. decided to have breakfast at McDonalds.

Went to Glendale Galleria around 10:30 -- walked around looking for OLD NAVY
and DIDNT find it on the Mall Directly -- I went to that Mall just to go to OLD NAVY!
Anyways ... went to Victorias Secret / Express / and GAP ... it turns out the item
I bought at Target has some kind of "security device" and set off the alarms in those
stores ... but no one bothered me. It was just walking around finding the stores .. I
was soo exhausted. Bought four gifts at GAP.

Do I buy Lunch here??? I decided to PASS

Left Glendale Galleria around 1:30 ... then arrived at Burbank Town Center at
2:00 ... I really didnt feel like shopping there .. so I decided to go home .. the
maintenace guys should be done "putting back" my bath tub ceiling.

When I got back around 2:30 ... NOTHING WAS FIXED ... AND I LEFT MESSAGES
ON MY APT. MANAGERS PHONE ... NO ONE WOULD ANSWER. Where in the
world am I going to shower??

I called work and Nora said I could shower there ... I spoke to Gloria and she said that
there IS an OLD NAVY "in" the Glendale Galleria ... its just outside in a building of its
own!!!

Realized still hungry ... but do I eat/cook something ... nope .. cuz ..

Around 4:00pm I decided to go to Hollywood & Highland shopping center to buy more gifts.
I went to Victorias Secret (again) / EXPRESS (again) / GAP (again) / Banana Republic.
Bought one gift at Victorias Secret and one gift at GAP. I saw Melanie at GAP and she also
bought gifts at Victorias Secret.

I think I must have arrived home at 6pm ... soo tired ... I have to get all these gifts
"ready" by tomorrow ... I decided not to wrap them ... and use the boxes as is ..

I'm "malled out" ... "bused out" ... and glad I dont have to commute like this anymore ..
until next Chrismas!!

To Burn or Not To Burn

Okay ... so I found a flaw in my computer / internet access ..
I can go into a "particular" website and Download songs for
free ... during a 90 day free trial ... HOWEVER ... these songs
are licensed ... SO I CANT EVEN BURN THEM AS A MIX CD!

There are some songs already in my computers "Jukebox" ...
some that I've heard of ... and some that are new to me .. I
listened to some of them .. and there are some that are pretty
nice ... I decided to test the "Burn CD" feature ... I guess the
ones without a license worked fine.

I have a new "mixed CD" with various artists that I've just
now heard of.

Holy Cow .. Where is my Ceiling!

I just got home ... and walked into my bathroom ..

"holy cow ... where is my ceiling"

Thats exactly what I said ... If only I have a camera.

The bath tub ceiling is gone ... the pipes and beams are exposed!

Bath Work To Be Done

Okay ... today is the day maintenance guys will be working on my bath
ceiling! No more holes ... no more water dripping from the window ... no
more water flowing on floor. I just wonder how long I wont be able to
use the shower area.

I Love My Computer / My Printer Works Too

I'm soo happy I have a new computer ... this is the best Christmas Gift I've
given myself!

I went to Comp USA to buy the extension cord/surge protector ... so I could
hook up my 2-year old HP 2210 Printer that I've had but couldnt use with
my 5-YEAR OLD Sony VAIO laptop ... Its just been gathering dust.

BUT IT WORKS! I CAN SCAN PICTURES! I CAN PRINT DOCUMENTS!

I love my computer!!

Got My Dell

I finally got my DELL Computer Today!!

My manager Tony gave me his MS Office Software to use ... since I didnt
want to pay $100+ for the software.

I thought I could install my OLD MS Money 99 to this computer ... I dont
know if I was the one that installed it "incorrectly" but it doesnt seem to
be working right .. so I UNINSTALLED it ... I guess it was too old.

I tried to install my "burned" version of Final Draft ... nothing happened ..
I couldnt run the program ... I guess my computer was able to detect a
burned version.

I was able to write something ... I was able to go online (AND NOT WAIT AT
THE LIBRARY) ... I'm soo happy !
