Some things I learned today

One – that my patience and my understanding have been abused and ignored by a friend, thus I’m in a complete shit right now! Gwen, come on! Don’t let this ruin our friendship! Tsk!

Two – that there’s a new technology in printer/scanners, called CISS.

CISS stands for Continuous Ink Supply System. Don’t make me explain it – just check the site. 🙂

I was browsing sulit for a printer when I saw this term along with the title of the ads posted. There have been instances when I need to print something – the most recent was yesterday – where I had to go out of the village and look for an Internet cafe because we don’t have a printer here at QC.

I told Mon that we really need to buy our own printer (because we can’t just rely on office supplies all the time). He didn’t exactly say ok we’ll get a printer but didn’t say no either. The thing is, what kind of printer do we really need? Do we need a plain one, a 3-in-1 type, is it Epson/HP/Brother/Lexmark or something else? What is the budget we are willing to spend for this?

I’m guessing that we’ll have to figure out the answers to my questions first before we can get our own printer.

Hayyyyyy, I’m so stressed!!!

My Friday Morning

First, Thank God It’s Friday!!!! Second thank God that my morning wasn’t completely ruined by little unfortunate circumstances!

First, and for the nth time, my brand new shoes failed me! I super love how I look today so I dared to wear my new shoes. To my horror, while getting off the tricycle, I felt that the strap of my right shoe snapped! Good thing Mon and I were not in a hurry so we were able to find a shoe repair nearby. Sad to say, manong does not have the part I need. I can’t walk with the shoe strap not in tacked. I need a mentos moment. Brilliantly, I was able to put the two straps together. I told Mon that I’ll just wear a slipper on our way home.

The second event happened on our way to the train station. We were already riding the elevator going to the platform area when Mon saw a chewing gum stuck in my pants! I was a bit panicky because my pants are new! Good thing the chewing gum didn’t stick so hard to my pants and was easily removed! It left little marks but they were unnoticeable.

The last is that the shuttle I rode on my way here at the office took billion years before it left Ortigas. Thus, I was late again for the nth time this week. Bad me.

Anyways, there ares good things that happened today. I have a new PSP order! Thank you Dear Lord for being so generous to me and my family!!! Another thing is that Ayex didn’t cry when we left her with Tito Xen today!

Do you agree with this?

I saw this some 2 weeks ago proudly posted in the DENR building, along Visayas Avenue, Quezon City.

Upon seeing it, I remembered that the price of gasoline is already PhP58.76 (Petron XCS), where it was only PhP43 something last April 7. I tapped Mon, who was driving and told him to look at his right. He didn’t see it immediately. When he saw what I was pointing at, he gave me a smirk. As for me, my initial reaction was REALLY?! How come I don’t feel or see it at all?!

Yes, I’m talking about GMA’s poster proudly hanging near the building entrance. (Please click on the image to enlarge).

How about you? Ramdam mo ba ang kaunlaran ng Pilipinas?
