gadget: Samsung F480

my eyes are lusting right now over this samsung f480. i'm checking every info i could get from gsmarena to youtube to see if i would give in to this touchscreen mobile. so far the reviews are good but not yet enough to convince me to purchase right away. my wants is always far from what i need. i know i know. in times of crisis i need to save more and spend less. no buts no ifs. 

well i think i should just continue lusting over this thing and see the result after 5 hours. who knows. my future always lies in my pocket. :)

Travel blog: Laiya, Batangas

i haven't posted any blogs lately because of some happenings but here are some pics i had last week when me and my former office-mates spent an overnight (that was really a short one) vacation in Laiya. Man it was great! Seeing all the old friends and staying away from the city noise, traffic and smog.

this is life noh?

not so busy week

i discarded other things to do. i hate hate stress and i just want to start the year with less things to worry. have to unload some burden. throw some craps and try to generate only positive vibes. :)

i am not really a busy person. my daily routine doesn't include saving the world or other's lives. its not that i don't care at all. i think about it actually but at this point i have to be selfish and just think of myself. i have to survive. no need to explain. 

adieu fats

i will be starting (again) with my weekly jogging tomorrow morning. i know jogging is one of the best exercise to lose fats. hopefully i could do this on a regular basis, meaning weekly. i need to have a stronger body to be able to physically face my everyday challenges and my upcoming trips. i see my planes and my hotel rooms again. and my savings going empty. hah!

2009

This year is the Year of the Ox for Chinese. For a common folk like me this is just a new day of the year where i could start again a new life. Not that i had a bad one last year but to make some improvement. i know i had saved a lot but i need to double it this year. Last year i made a lot of trips and this year maybe i could travel Asia again and my country of course. I need as well to continue my studies and my off and on healthy diet should always be on the top of my priorities.

I have to thank my friends who helped me face the challenges of 2008. I know that they are still here with me this year. You know who you are guys and i always include you in my prayers. I need to thank as well my family who are still in good health and though we seldom see each other the love and respect are still there. and of course you.

My laundry list is not yet ready as i am scouring my cabinet and exploring the net for possible great buys. 

hopefully this year will be a prosperous one for those who strives hard. and i am wishing that the economy in all parts of the world will be back to its feet so that those who lost their jobs will be able to work again.

xmas 08

i will be celebrating holidays with my family in the province. amidst global crisis and personal turmoil i will enjoy this christmas together with my family and my old friends.  i will be seeing less of them this time since some of them will move to a different country and so am i (crossing my fingers). hopefully we won't forget each other wherever we are. i don't want to be sentimental. just preparing myself to what the future may bring. 

this year i must say is one heck of a roller coaster ride. i've been to lots of places locally and outside the country. i've got new friends and lost some. earned some money and spend most. moved on and now trying to move on again (whatever that means). i might not have completed my goals according to plan but hey there is another year to come. i am not losing hope yet. there's plenty of time to plan again for a new set of goals. hopefully this time, its for real.

to all of you out there happy holidays. 

all i want for christmas is..

my grown-up christmas list includes:    dyaraaaaan

and i learned all the details here. yes i know in times of crisis like this i need to save save and save. and then what? bring all the money i saved to my grave? just kidding. i don't know yet if i'm getting this one but one day (when i'm depressed and everything seems to be shitty) yes i'm gonna get this one without hesitation. but for now i will just lust about it.

but of course its just a thing. all i really want for christmas is.... YOU 

have a very merry christmas everyone :)
