happenings XP

yesterday dad and i went to smart wireless center in gateway. after more than a decade of being a loyal smart subscriber, i was informed that my 'unlimited text' to all networks would no longer be applicable. boo hoo hoo. i am forced to migrate to one of their newer plans, since they would no longer be offering my super-duper old plan. anyway, off we went to gateway.. and dad and i looked over some of the retention plans available. i chose to get plan 1200.. and avail of a free asus notebook XP it certainly can't compare with my compaq (see the pic? it's no optical illusion haha); but it sure is handy. and i can't wait to get my 'new baby' hahaha XP

tita vix & family went to dubai for a short vacation sometime last week. when they got back, they gave us some 'pasalubong' - chocolate covered dates. yumyum XP so now i find myself looking for dates. er.. the fruit, not necessarily the romantic type haha.

she also gave me this 'jewelry' set consisting of a pair of earrings, a ring and a necklace with a pearl pendant. but you have to get the pearl out of its shell. hahahaha. last chistmas i saw something like that being sold in UP.. but i didn't buy it. anyway, i found tita vix's pasalubong interesting. at least i got to pry open a (heart-shaped) mussel and take out a (seemingly synthetic) pearl hehehe XP neat.

another first happened today. after the mass at megamall, we were off to bulacan for my uncle's bday celebration. but as we were on our way, dad's car airconditioner bogged down. and with the unbearable summer heat, it was unthinkable to proceed in dad's car. so we decided to get wyjel from the house and leave poor winnipeg here in the garage.

so what's the first?! hahaha. i drove wyjel to bulacan!!! wheeeee. that was kinda fun, hehe. zipping through the nlex was enjoyable. 120kph, woot. nyahaha. would've driven a bit faster if dad weren't around, i guess, hehe. i'm always kinda conscious when dad's around - he's the driving expert haha XP

when we got to the party, i was amused with the 'fountain' so naturally i had to take a shot of it haha. i was kinda imagining it was flowing with chocolate, though. and i was daydreaming of strawberries and marshmallows that i could dip into my imagined chocofountain XP tsk. maybe on my wedding hahahaha XP

GM'd some friends this afternoon out of boredom. i proposed we kill time tomorrow at gateway. alas, nobody seemed interested. tsk. looks like this is going to be one loooooooong summer. blech.
