In Which Nikki-chan Becomes More Awesome by One Year
I thought I'd rouse myself from my current zombie no-post state to say "Happy Birthday!" to the best sixthwinemasa ever - she of the newly-acquired nursing degree, the killer review sessions, the (not-so) secret longing for the green digital camera of espionage data collection, and Kaidoh-in-hospital-with-oranges. Did I mention that she is the ( Read more... ) -
Work swallowed up my life, but I'm taking some of it back
Yeah, back home, where my heart is. Been back for a few weeks, and sometimes it feels like I never left. The biggest difference is that I'm now in a classroom all the time and I know that isn't going to change for a good long while ( Read more... ) -
Touchdown!
So, it is now 1:35 AM Central, and I am in Illinois, in a hotel room my company reserved for me. I am typing away on a company-provided laptop, and a couple of doors away is another trainer who will be my neighbor for the next eight weeks. I am freshly showered and slathered in lotion, and I am looking to two days of getting used to being here ( Read more... ) -

Happy Birthday, sixthwinemaiden!

Oh, life, why so sparkly?
The only other thing that would make life sparkle more is if I got my hands on the pret-teh, embossed, original versions of the books.

Oh, life, why so much impossibility?
And that's not even counting all the J2 fic that coffeebased is pushing on me with her relentless well-intentioned insistence. (Not that I've been resisting. Oh no, that's not the proper way to deal with temptation, no sirree.)
My sister is agonizing over which beach resort to take the family to a day trip in (close to Manila, and accessible by land vehicles ( Read more... ) -
Reyna ng Sablay (The Queen of Fail)
At seven this evening I decided to leave the office so I could go home and get changed. (I arrived at work around ten... the previous evening. But that's another story.) It took me nearly an hour to get a cab because every joe out there, plus seventy of their kith and kin, has designated tonight a shopping night in celebration of the Labor Day ( Read more... ) -
Oh, the flail, the flair, and kira-kira, and the squee. And the win!!
I was invited to go join coffeebased and her cousins at the SMX for the Shizen Orchestra con last Saturday. Since we're nearing the end of the month, there are about twenty million things that need doing at the office. On the one hand, you have work, my pride and the source of my livelihood, and on the other you have Hope and Lian and Ina ( including, I ( Read more... ) -
Ii data.
(In which Hakkai watches some more BL anime, enjoys the rain outside her window, and learns how to figure out her phone bill, among other things)
Minna-san! This is me trying to post from my phone. Kira-kira confetti to mini Opera which makes this possible!
So, okay, earlier this afternoon I called up customer service ( Read more... )
