I came across Psych at C/S (one of my favorite channels right now), I don’t know what made me watch — It’s probably when the movie in HBO was so boring but I’m glad that I did! This one’s so hilarious lol. I’ve been watching a lot of crime shows — Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Criminal Intent, Cold Case, Bones (from time to time) etc. that watching a funny crime show is very refreshing.

Sure, the cases are pretty light, it’s kinda impossible that they could keep fooling people that Shawn is a psychic, someone’s bound to know. But their antics are pretty wacky it keeps serious thoughts out of your mind. You can’t imagine how pissed I was when the 1st season ended without my knowing and they had the reruns on Sunday mornings! That time I couldn’t even catch Law and Order because it was moved from night to mornings (5am every weekdays, darn!).

I’ve always liked Johnny Depp since I saw him at Chocolat — darn, he’s so gorgeous! So I went ahead and watched Sweeney Todd with my best friend last Saturday right after the bootcamp. I was so excited to watch it that I did not mind that dear Johnny Depp is a murderer, it cannot be that graphic, eh?

Before the movie started, my best friend and I agreed that we will never watch a movie like Saw, it’s just too graphic for our taste we might not be able to sleep after watching it so it’s not good. Then a few minutes after, we saw Johnny Depp slash a man’s neck, perfect, we went in a theater to watch a movie where blood spurts out unknowingly. Nice. Good thing is that we did not get our usual food for watching movies — burgers. LOL. I know that 300 was so graphic as well but I did not have to turn my ahead away from the screen so much before.

Yesterday, I was finally able to attend the Philippine Internet Marketing Bootcamp which I was supposed to attend last Saturday had I been well then. I was up really early, around 6, which is very unlikely on a Saturday, I thought I will be late because the map on the site wasn’t really friendly for an idiot on maps like me.

In the end, I was able to be there just a few minutes late (Ely greeted me by saying, “I didn’t expect you til 9!”, gee Ely, you should have said so hehe) after walking a long way from Philhealth building to RCC Tower, where US Auto Parts is currently housed.

When I saw the people working there (during the tour, after the seminar proper) I was star strucked. There was Pinkseo, Mr. SEO Philippines, Jozzua, Internet Rising Star, Fool45, and Rico Sta. Cruz, I told Rhiz that they should get Abe and Gail and they would be complete lol.

Stuff I got from the bootcamp, coincidentally, the pen they gave me is the kind that I always lose, hope this time I can keep it ’til it run out of ink. Look at the paper on the left, see the scribbles? Speakers, I was listening!

Ta-da! The meme that’s 3 months old, it’s always better to be late, right? Last October 2007, Joiz tagged me to show what my desktop looked like hehe and it’s obvious that I did took my time :P

Ah! The beauty of F11!

As you can see, there’s nothing much there, just a bunch of screenshots that I took. I was planning to use them for some posts for tech hive but I’m too lazy to compose a decent post so they’re sitting idly there.

If I were still addicted to Ragnarok, you can be sure that a priestess would be there, but no, I hardly see my desktop anyway so I just looked for a default image from the mac. I think this came with Leopard because the last time I changed my desktop background, there were just images of stones and waters. I loved reading about the planets when I was a kid, it’s a wonder why I never thought of becoming an astronaut. Probably because I know that I’d freak out rather easily if you lift me off the ground. People around me say that it’s the curse of being short, pfft, nonsense!

Anyway, there’s no story here really, at the bottom were the programs I use the most. The yellow pretzel-looking thing there is Parallels because no matter how hard I pray, people just won’t stop using IE. It makes the mac slow and freezes the other browsers whenever I open it, but I can’t live without it, sheesh. And do you know that there are people who still uses FF 1.03 and there are a lot more people who uses FF 1 than Opera? It’s sooo frustrating! Where the hell can I grab a copy of FF 1.03? Sigh… Oops, I’m getting sidetracked hehe anyway, so there… I don’t know if I should tag anyone, I think everyone already did this so I’ll just let you try it too if you want, that is :)

Totally random (not that what I have been talking about in the last paragraph is not random), this is apparently my 190th post! I don’t know why but simple, small and stupid things have the ability to make me extremely happy these days.

I think I should get out more … (Or rather, I should get out with other people other than myself — like friends for instance sometimes)

I rarely get sick, a fact that I used to love to hate way back in high school and college because the best reason for my absence that I could muster was “because I’m lazy” or “I just don’t feel like going to school.” Now, it’s the other way around, I do em want to ever get sick unless I get that bout of laziness (FYI bosses, if ever you come upon this blog of mine, it rarely happens). I especially did not want to get sick this weekend because I was planning to go to this certain Bootcamp which I was invited to by Ely and where Riz will be attending a speaker to as well.

Friday, I was planning to go to the office but then I was feeling a little woozy, I barely had sleep for the past n days because … I don’t know, for some reason, I can’t sleep and if I do get to sleep it’s so light that slight brightness can rouse me up right away. Heck, even my father can wake me up with little to no effort which was not the case before.

I’m really so pissed and frustrated with myself. Frustrated enough that, last Saturday, I voluntarily drank a strawberry wine (it only tasted like juice) but it thankfully knocked me out for more or less 2 hours. I was thankful for that 2 hours because since I woke up (a little past 9, I guess) that day I only had 30 minute naps and my eyes are already burning and my head felt like it’ll explode every time I move. My having a cold helped in making me feel a lot more awful, and also the fact that my body can’t decide whether I have a fever or not! I know I’m not used to having a fever but you know, it’s nice if you know if you really are feverish or not.

It reminds me of a couple years back, I woke up to a very high fever and my whole body’s aching. I kept it to myself for a couple of minutes and when I can’t take it anymore, I went to my mom who confirmed that I do have a high fever, she told me that I should drink some medicine so I went downstairs and after having the medicine, my fever automagically went away. Just when my fever went away, my Mom’s already beside me and touched my forehead which wasn’t hot anymore. Guess what she said? “Eh, you’re not sick at all! Are you trying to fool me?!” I thought then, gee no, it just so happens that I can cry my eyes out just to see you flustered.

Anyway, as I was saying, I then forced myself to sleep, the next day, I was feeling a little better but lady luck’s still not on my side. I was about to take a bath, so I could go to the mall and take care of some business which I was supposed to take care of last Friday, I went outside to get my towel then on my way back, my head hit the corner of our lovebird’s cage which left a wound. Then while taking a bath, I hit my hand on the soap holder (or whatchamacallit), I almost slipped while walking to the bank, the FX I rode to the mall was so slow and the man beside me is nonchalant that I was being squeezed (by him), and on my way home, it rained so I was forced to take a tricycle even though I can walk home. And here’s the best part, it stopped raining when I got in the house. Really now!

The bright side though, I was finally able to sleep soundly after that, sure I was still kinda sleepy the whole day today but at least, I got to sleep for more than 4 hours in a week! I don’t know what happened to my life last week, I just wish it never happen again. Sheesh, enough series of unfortunate events already, the year has only begun.

[edit 1/22/2007-6:20am]So I spoke too soon, being able to sleep right for one night does not mean that you’ll be able to sleep soundly th next night. What the hell was I thinking,huh?[/edit]
