Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love is truly in the air! The hubby gave me a Lindt Milk Chocolate with Pistachios as his gift. He also gave the girls their own chocolates but Alex opted for the Tic Tac! Funny kid!

How are you spending you Valentine’s so far? Us, we will be travelling to the south a little later. We will have a date at home with my sibling since we already celebrated last weekend.

Music shows for tonight are being advertised over and over again on the television and radio. If you do not have any plans yet, there are lots of concerts you can watch tonight! I have never had a romantic, candle-light dinner with my hubby with matching live music in the background yet, it is simply not us. But I bet these concerts have really nice and lovely sound, specially when the bands use high quality instruments.

Well, maybe in the future, I and the hubby will go for one romantic dinner date, not necessary on a Valentine.

My LG GT505 Sucks Now

A few months ago, I had to reflash my LG GT505 because its memory got full and I am unable to open applications except for call and text. The common handset memory which is 154M got used up and despite clearing cache, deleting stuff, no memory is freed. It sucks big time! Thankfully, there are tutorials online on how reflashing is done. It was not an easy procedure and I am always posed with the probability that I will damage my phone. But that is the only way for me to regain the memory. If I remember it correctly, I did freed some memory but not all. I think I started at 108M. Now, after just a few months, my memory is back to 151M! BS!

I want to throw this phone but I do not have money to buy a new one. And a new phone is definitely not in my plans for the year. This is phone is going two years old this May. I feel like I want to take this up with LG. They said Life is Good but this phone makes me miserable. I want to shout refund!

Car Repair Again

No, thankfully it is not ULY, our trusty car. It is EMPOY, my FIL’s public transport.

This Toyota FX has been with him for more than a decade now and it has started to act up last year. There days when it cannot be used because of lapsed maintenance or broken part. On worse cases, attending to the needed maintenance or broken part will take a couple of days, extending to a week. When that happens, FIL has no income.

They are their own mechanics, FIL and his co-driver. Good thing they know a lot when it comes to cars and suppliers of spare parts. They need those, I think, specially that almost weekly, they need to replace a part. I remember that from one of their trips, aside from the needed part, they also bought a trailer hitch. They said it will be useful on emergencies. I am praying though that that will not have to happen.

Well, the car is not mine and I am not paying for it. It just saddens me that FIL keeps on paying to have it fixed but he does not get his money back.
