I’m no Apple Fanboy but I think I am about to flirt with the standards of being one. Just recently, Apple released iOS 4, an operating system which is supposed to advance the third release of their OS for iPod Touch and iPhone–and I think they succeeded. Part of the new system is the ability to download the iBooks app where you can store and shop for ebooks. In the initial release, many ebooks are for free, thanks to Project Gutenberg. Of course, most of these ebooks are the classics (which is Great). Finally, I have a way to fulfill one of my Year 2010 Resolutions.
After watching Mano Po 6 (Sharon Cuneta’s bulky package is the only thing I can remember, btw), I saw a children’s party at Jollibee. A Jollibee mascot was there, entertaining the kids the juvenile way. I stopped and stared at the happy bee and saw myself joining the kids’ crowd. I smiled and saw him smiling back at me. Well, he can’t frown anyway. But the jiffy moment I sang and dance in my mind made me realize how old I am now that prevented me to actualize those action thoughts. I’m 20, and I think I’m old.
Observant people tell me that I blog more often than before. Well, I think it’s even an understatement. I rarely blog every day, or even every week–I think I blog only twice or thrice a month. And this is a justifiable excuse because of the different justifiable forces that prevent me to do so. If something justifiable inhibited you to do something, then the direct causes of inhibition would also be as justifiable. This is the kind of logic I sustain in my values stream that kept me breathing. But I guess this won’t work in the crazily fast-paced lifestyle of the 21st century.
After some sort of celebration, I already need to face my school chores. Well, that’s a need I refuse to fulfill simply because I’m not in the mood–and my mind and body haven’t achieved a state of enlightenment just yet. But for now, I’m a happy bum. Actually, I’m waiting for my 2010 planner because it will start a spark of gusto and will kick my ass towards my unused study desk. I thought Red Moleskine’s coming to me, but I changed my mind–I’ll settle for the mass-adored Starbucks Planner. Four stickers before possession; not bad. Okay, I did break my words about this thing. But who cares?
Apart from seeking a decent employment, I also want to earn a Master’s degree. I actually wanted to get an MBA but I realize I also want to get an MA in Organizational Communication because of my personal ambition to develop the degree program here in the Philippines (hello unbelievably high aspirations; hello Sir Burn-who-wants-me-to-study-at-NUS). Unfortunately, no MA in OrCom is yet available in the country. Until recently, I saw a double master’s degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
New items added on my grand wishlist (January 09, 2009). Haha.
#71. MSI Wind Extreme: U100x, Atom Dual Core compatible chassis, 2.0 GB RAM, 500 GB SATA HDD, and 6-cell battery! Yehaa!
#75. A Red Nokia E63!–The cheaper E71!
#76. 1 TB External HDD!
Are you my fairy godmother?
Each episode of The Triumvirate Series is a crystallization of how my day went in three themes. This is my own, novel way of writing a daily journal. Read the rationale here.
Group 1
- Freak. We had our first PR specialist interviewee a while ago. And she’s a freak. Man, she’s restless! A professor, a PR specialist, a corporate consultant (I can’t coin the proper term), an overseas worker (Nah, not the typical OFW–foreign companies hire and hunt her). With this, I can say that she is multitalented too. It is timely that the concept of freakness should have a positive connotation.
- Groups. When you are a communication major, your professors will train you to deal with and tolerate other people. I am a group-person and I love doing THE interpersonal communication. Communication is part of survival. Communication can be violent, almost parallel to a predator-prey relationship. Predators usually talk too much. Preys usually don’t talk, they just run. The lesson? Don’t be predator or a prey; don’t be a violent communicator.
- Netbooks. I envy people who own a netbook. My laptop becomes heavier as netbooks and notebooks become lighter. Change is constant because of relativism. Ack, my shoulders hurt. I need my netbook now. :(
Wake-up ALps
Amidst the cold morning, a text message woke me up. Actually, Vector (my mobile phone’s name) wakes me up whenever he receives a text message but I go back to sleep when I realize that those messages are sent in a group (More popularly known as a “Group Message”). But when I saw one coming from Marvin, I am back to the world of the awake. Marvin is not fond of sending GMs so I know it’s a personalized one. He greeted me Good Morning and said that he is bound for Lawton to fetch Lanie. Lanie is going to Marvin’s house because she is invited to the birthday celebration of Marvin’s father. We had a little conversation until all of a sudden, I was already texting Lanie. Of course, she teases me about Marvin. Oh yeah, I am (We are) already immune. LOL.
Live! Journal
A couple of minutes later, I got myself online and fixed my Friendster profile and LJ account. Wee, I love both of them. For my Friendster profile, I used an pre-made layout then just edited it so the color theme would be dark green and olive green. Halovit! For my LJ, it seems to be pretty simple but I guess complexity is not so me. Although I concede I am a little sophisticated at some times :P.
Stroll at the Mall
I, my sister and my mother decided to go to the Festival Supermall. My sister would be meeting her classmates and my mother would have her bag repaired at Marithé et François Girbaud. And I? I just want myself out our house. I and my mother first went to the department store to buy a gift for Ivan. My mother decided to buy a toy robot for him since it’s his favorite toy. Then off we went to some bag and fashion stores. My sister also came by after while. I hate mall strolling with girls, Oh well. But I am a little happy when my mom bought me a top from Solo. Haha. But geez, its size is XS! I decided to return it for a S size on Monday. Tsk. Anyway, we ate at Chowking for some hot stuff then we then went to have buy some groceries.
That Timepiece!
I am so in-loved with the Casio timepiece I saw! Woot! It costs PhP3,000.00! I want to buy it! I hope it wouldn’t be gone until the 30th! When I got home, I am still thinking of it until I fell asleep :P.
