i've recently been on a download spree thanks to PLDT vibe and ISP Bonanza, especially to Kazaa. i've discovered the wonderful artist that is norah jones. since i hate spending for CD's i have been trying to download all her album tracks to avoid actually buying her cd. what a cheapskate, indeed!
the holidays have been very pleasant for me. i spent chirstmas with my paternal side of the family at fontana with great food and plenty of laughs. it has also been pretty hectic for me in terms of the number of parties i've been attending. jollo pointed out that i have been partying for seven nights in a row, starting with the Guidon christmas part on last Dec. 20 all the way until the barkada femme fatale party last friday, Dec. 27. whew! a lot of parties but a whole lot of fun nevertheless. i'm also happy about all the gifts i've received. of course, i received more bags. i'm up to bag number 32 since debut. hehehe
i'm also proud of accomplishing something in the wee hours of the morning. i finally, after 4 months of putting it off, arranged my pictures and placed them into albums. i can now boast of my baby pictures and even the recent ones, neatly arranged and divided into three albums. yey! i've also put up many of the picture frames i've received over the years. now, i only have 3 frames empty, the rest are with pictures of friends and relatives.
postscript: i've realized that i would say yes if he asked...
