She went shopping for clothes. Finally. Her wardrobe was actually screaming to be changed. Just last week, she decided to give away old clothes. To give space for new ones, of course!
She hates shopping for clothes. She hates the fitting part. But come to think of it, she hates shopping for anything. Period. Especially if the budget is not limitless, hah! But this time, the husband gave enough for clothes. Out goes the old stuff. In comes a fresh batch.
She spent longer looking for clothes than doing the grocery. And went home with four blouses and a pair of pants. With enough change to spare! Maybe she could try her luck again next week? And did you guess that she got blouses that are not her usual style? She is guilty of boring fashion sense. This time, she decided to get something that is different, with somewhat an oomph.
For once, she was happy…make that elated! She did a good, thumbs-up job looking for blouses! She got home and shared her loots with the financier. He gave her that questioning look.
“Are you really this big already?”, with a frown on his face.
See, she got L-sized blouses, because they were the perfect fit.
Biting her lips, she nodded. She would have gone berserk like another woman being told “big” or “fat”. The truth was obvious. There is no point denying it.
I became a victim of blog entry swiping (the one I wrote on The Time Traveler’s Wife). As in this person copied my text and posted it in his blog. Although he linked me up, I was still annoyed. I edited my entry because I don’t expect that I will sleep peacefully if I didn’t edit. Yes even if I’m the victim. I am OC that way.
So, when Nita mentioned about disabling text selection and right-click, I asked her to help me. I know I should have done this eons ago and there’s no excuse.
After a few tweaks here and there in this blog and my main blog, tadah! The codes are now working Swipers suck and now I hope they won’t go out of their way anymore to copy from view-source, LOL!
If you want it, try googling and the first result will help you out!
This picture was taken in May 2009. Abi was just 3 months and 3 weeks old. The picture is a bit grainy and noisy but I figured this is worth sharing. After all, this is a smilestone Of course Abi can’t read yet but she appreciates the colors and images in a book. She can sit down and “read” for about 10 minutes! Some say it is too early to teach her the art of reading but a lot of my (online) friends say otherwise. Even my sister who is an SP said it is never too early to expose her to books. The other day, Hubby brought home a set of four books from Brainy Baby and I also started reading her stories by Roald Dahl. And then yesterday Ane brought home the books from Asher ni Mai. Yey! Abi thanks Kuya Asher, she got two new books! Thanks also to Paul for routing it (Badong and Paul works in the same company heheh).
Yes. Someday, Abi and I will build our own library!
I got goosebumps and chills down my spine while watching this trailer! The Time Traveller’s Wife is one of my all time favorite books! I am so waiting for this movie to show! I really hope they will show it in Manila.
I bought the book on New Year’s Day 2005 without even reading reviews about it. I just based my purchase on the backcover which sounded promising. It has since become one of my books that I can read over and over again. I think the book is well-written and brilliant. The first time I read it, I felt lost in the pages but that’s what the story is about. When I heard a movie version was being filmed, I was ecstatic! I never thought it can be translated into a movie about two hours long, because the story is really complicated with all the flashbacks, foreshadowings etc. Just watching the trailer, I think Rachel McAdams is a good choice to play Clare Abshire. And Eric Bana’s face reminds me so much of Henry DeTamble’s face as I pictured him in my head.
I am so excited! I think I will read the book yet again
The internet never cease to amaze me. There is so much to learn and there is so much to find out! When I posted a tip on batch resizing using Photoshop, my Bebot friend Mai commented that she uses Faststone to batch resize her pictures AND put watermark and borders! Now, that’s ultimately what Badong and I need!
This new “discovery” just shows that I simply don’t “look” around hard enough for answers and that for every problem, there are different solutions. I just need to choose which one works best for me.
After almost two years of the same old boring theme, here’s the new one! Finally got the urge to change it after realizing that I don’t have to think about my widgets. So unlike with blogger, where once you change a theme, all widgets must be reinstalled, gah! With this new theme, I was done in about an hour tweaking here and there. And I am happy.
And then my host, Amore updated my WP this afternoon, yey! That made me more inspired to change the theme. Aylavet! My domain and hosting are now renewed even if they won’t expire until July 10. I’m trying to budget my money, is why.
I also changed the header of my main blog. Please check it out!
Hubby has recently rekindled his relationship with photography. Especially that he upgraded our DSLR just last week. He now brings the camera everyday to practice!
Anyway, he’s been bugging me to find out how to resize pictures in batches for easier upload in his Multiply. The best I could do is create an action in Photoshop. But of course that isn’t enough since he has to open-play action-save each image. I am so glad that my friend Aggie posted a re-tweet that leads to, what else, Tutorial on resizing pictures by Batch in Photoshop!!
When I decided to use Firefox, instead of IE, I thought it was perfect just as it is. All I wanted was to block those nasty pop-ups, and for me FF was doing its purpose.
Then I got hooked on Twitter where I get tips and learn new things from my Bebot friends. They would mention every now and then about add-ons, for instance, to customize my browser and make things easier for me. First there was Twitterfox and then NoScript. I was never successful in installing both add-ons and I never found out why.
A few days ago, Joy suggested Google toolbar. So I tried to install again. But the toolbar, even if Ivy says it’s already installed is not showing up. It was frustrating. I found out that in Tools>Add-ons>Extensions, the installation was not completed because it says the browser must be restarted. Yes, even Twitterfox and Noscript are still there (no wonder I don’t get what my friends say, my add-ons aren’t properly installed!). So I restarted. And restarted. And restarted.
I searched the net and read that I should clear my cache, which I did. Didn’t help. None of the Bebots could solve the problem. I tried my luck again early this morning while hunting for tasks (yep, around 4am!), using another keyword in searching. And I was led to THIS site. You guessed it right, my add-ons are now working, yey! OOppppss the title of this pos already gave that away, LOL!
So I’m sharing the info with you, in case you encounter the same problem. For Windows XP:
Run %APPDATA%, press OK and then Windows Explorer will pop-out. In that window, choose Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles. Then delete these files (don’t worry, they will be regenerated once you open Firefox again):
extensions.ini
extensions.cache
extensions.rdf
compatibility.ini
Viola! Install your add-ons again, and they should be working fine now.
Pagpasensiyahan na ninyo ang nakayanan kong lahok. Point and shoot lamang ang aking gamit noon at gumagalaw pa ang bus na aming sinasakyan. Ang gusaling ito ay kakaiba dahil may butas sa gitna! Pinaliwanag sa amin ito ng aming tour guide (sa HongKong) pero hindi ko na matandaan kung bakit nga ba butas siya. Hehe.
Please bear with my entry this week. I was only using a Point and shoot at that time and the bus we were riding in was moving when I shot this. This building is different because of the hole in the middle! Our tour guide (in Hongkong) explained why, but I already forgot the explanation. Hehe.
Kaje is a 31yo-Bulakenya struggling to be an artist. Art for her is anything that challenges her mind to think (heck, even answering Sudoku is an art for her!) -- creative or not the output may be. Hihi. Whatever :)
She has been married for almost three years to a very wonderful husband who understands that he married someone pretty undomesticated. In short, he married a lazy butt :) Kaje is a first-time mom to a 4-month old baby.
Everyday is a nice surprise!
Swipers suck and now I hope they won’t go out of their way anymore to copy from view-source, LOL!
