.w.a.n.d.e.r.l.u.s.t.

today i won't write something mind-blowing or pseudo-profound.
i'll just blog recollections of certain petty stuff that happened to me for the past few days.

yesterday, as i was not doing anything at the office, i logged in to Pinoy Exchange and bumped into a seemingly non-sense thread about funny maid stories.
somebody posted a link to a blog -- apparently of a maid. my inquisitive side took over and checked out the site: http://chona.blogspot.com .
what i didn't foresee was i was up for an afternoon of stomach-aching good laugh.
it's a ridiculous journal! it's actually full of maid archetypal characteristics -- wrong grammar, idiotic adventures, superficial discoveries.
nah, i won't spoil it for you. just visit chona's site.

i finally had my phone checked at a Nokia care center near the office. i've been having problems with multimedia messaging for the past days. (my phone's Nokia 6600 by the way.) whenever i choose to create a new MMS, a composer page does not prompt!
the representative who attended to me said that my phone would need to have software reformatting!
and that means everything stored in my phone's memory would be wiped out!
well, all my pictures and audio files are saved in my memory card, but not my messages and my contacts!!
now, i'm just so pissed off. the phone's been with me for only 3 weeks yet, and this glitch has happened already!
(pardon the excessive use of exclamation marks...)
i just hope i wouldn't be having similar problems anymore in the future.
so today, i've finally decided to have myphone fixed.
i was able to copy my contacts list to my SIM last night, but my messages -- hopeless.
so goodbye my dear cutesy sentimental messages!
sigh.

last weekend, i was an examiner for the entrance test in my college university.
it was fun seeing my friends again, especially those i've never seen for quite some time now.
plus, i got more money to pay for my credit card.
i spotted one local teen star taking the test! Julie Ann Lee. Pretty, yeah. but not stunning.

i also bought my sister a new phone yesterday. a nokia 6600. just like mine.
she's been like bugging me for the past days to buy her a new phone (via charging it to my credit card).
i've been to a couple of Globe service centers and Hub stores, but the models that I'm interested are always out-of-stock.
but i went to a Globe center yesterday, there's one remaining stock of a Nokia 6600.
so i immediately called her up to ask if she'd like me to purchase it for her.
since she promised to pay for it (and she just discharged from the hospital anyway), i decided to grant her wish.
when i went home, her face just lit up when she saw her new phone -- a happy scene.

forgive me for this seemingly crappy entry.
lately, my days seem to be quite boring. my hours just revolve around work and home. i rarely go out with friends for the past weeks.
that's why i can't write of any adventures i've been engaging in recently.

i've also drafted a lot of blog materials for posting but somehow, I just couldn't get myself to finish them.
Somtimes, i couldn't fully express what I'd essentially want to convey; that's why i opt not to publish my posts yet.
but most of the times, i'm having those laziness attacks again...

i promise to write something more substantial next time.
i swear.
