• 00:42 @BackStory my B|S viewing schedule has been shot to pieces, but i fully intend to make up for it. *nods* #
• 11:35 up and at it with a will. Scarlett Avanza's seat covers have been laundered, ditto all my canvas tote bags. #
• 11:36 receipts sorted. will updated expense logs later. am now down to only one credit card with a balance - the grocery/medicines card. WOOT! #

• 17:28 ok, I've managed to finish catching up with LiveJournal - which leaves Twitter! *bounce* and it's only 5.30PM! #
• 17:50 @richardquest love the alliteration you got going there! :) #
• 17:53 @afuna_wired you know, those two tweets about reproducing a bug? totally brought on the lulz in a major way...*still lulzy* #
• 19:32 Firefox has felt like a resource hog, so I installed an old standby, Swiftfox. Hoping this will fix the problem. #
• 20:05 installed TidyRead extension. PingFire won't work under Swiftfox, boo - but I have Ping.fm on Speed Dial, so not a problem. #
• 20:05 also, just installed Statuzer. it looks nice! #
• 20:11 @jenmelia i agree with your tweet re Susan Boyle. hoping she wins, but will probably tune out most of the media buzz surrounding her if so. #

• 21:29 @calperry: seems to be a challenge week for you? first the Champions League, now its a race to first thousand followers... #
• 21:30 @calperry ...and the loser not only donates to charity but sings in public. this could get interesting very fast. :) #
• 21:55 Swiftfox is working like a charm so far. This is a good thing. Have created workaround to replace PingFire. :) #
• 21:55 And since I have caught up with Twitter, I'm off to a cool shower, and back again! #
• 21:56 Awww. Mocha-cat woke up from extended remix nap and wanted to go out. Had to explain it was 9pm and wet outside; he was so disappointed! #
• 23:03 Pfft. ff.im/3pdSm #

• 22:31 @bobreyes i think i get the idea behind the change. but there are more important things to do, and better ways to do it. just saying. #

• 22:34 @mlq3 @_@ i think the term is "grandstanding". should my sympathies go to the counsel who can't get a word in edgeways? #

• 22:58 @HalaGorani there doesn't seem to be much room to expand, in any case? #
• 23:14 @octavianasrCNN @calperry almost like bringing a note from parents to school: "Dear Customs, please allow Cal to bring in flak jacket...CNN" #

Have decided to go back to posting from web interface of ping.fm for the moment. posting blog entries by e-mail isn't working as nicely as I want it to, and it's too late in the evening to tinker with it.

This is a quiet day between being busy yesterday and being busy tomorrow. Yesterday, these things happened:

I joined a radio show taping. I even got to say things!
Ramon and I had lunch at Pepper Steak Trinoma.
Then we went into the *huge* Landmark supermarket and bought things.
Then I had coffee at Seattle's Best. Also, really good sans rival cake.
Then we went to the Shangri-La Plaza.
Found Bow&Wow, an organic pet food store, and bought stuff for chibi cats.
Set Ramon loose to do things.
Bought KFC meals to take home.

Somewhere in all this, Dad called up to tell me about the PLDT people who came to change the cables, and then the phone wouldn't work...very strange. In the end, though, I did come home to two working phones, just the way I left them.

Tomorrow's itinerary includes:

Reload the genset with diesel.
Take empty jerricans to gas station and refill those with diesel. (agh, the smell)
Bring jerricans home, load car with recyclables for the recycling fair.
Pay the GQMF LAST INSTALLMENT ON MY CREDIT CARD at SM Makati.
Pick up replacement Prestige card, on the same floor.
Celebrate wisely. Lunch at JiPan or the Food Court should fit the bill.

More details in future posts. :)

• 00:14 @zuzufalta yup, CNN International has lots of great programs. I wish some had podcasts so I could watch while on the go. #
• 00:19 @dezbee2008 eh? that sounds odd. you get to do anything before you can drink? #
• 00:21 @coffeebased Buh? What are you doing at the international airport? #
• 00:23 @dezbee2008 put that way, it makes sense. in the Philippines, once you hit 18, you can vote, drive, drink, and all the rest. one age for all #
• 00:26 @richardquest i like the sound of our national carrier, Philippine Air Lines. PR officially but referred to as PAL otherwise. CX after that. #
• 00:27 @dezbee2008 *smile* in the first year, absolute chaos, i think. or not. but then everyone will get used to it and settle down. #

• 00:28 @richardquest Virgin is either that good, or that cheap as airfares go! #
• 00:30 @richardquest Cathay Pacific was my first airline love. Nonstop food and wine, back in the day! #
• 00:32 @Lauratheexpat nothing like telling people they can't do something for them to want to do it - at nearly any age. #
• 00:32 @dezbee2008 definitely, observing chaos from a safe distance is more preferable! #
• 00:37 have to sign off now, if i'm to get any sleep. catch y'all when the moon rises later! *grin* #
• 19:31 i'm tired, and the heat is getting to me. but all in all, it was a fun day today, for a lot of reasons. #
• 20:53 it's been some days since I went all Linux, and I do. not. miss. Windows. at. all. *nods* #
• 21:22 yayz! e-mail all done. ditto facebook. should do feeds next, as those were left over from yesterday. #
• 22:13 @iDesk thank you (re the nudge for Nic Robertson)! i'm sure all the followers will enjoy hearing from him! :) #
• 22:35 @HalaGorani augh, isn't that the "voir dire" procedure? imagine what life was like without twitter from sequestration... #
• 22:37 @DanielleCNN whoa? @sanjaygupta=90K followers? must RT to recruit more! (like the Borg, sort of, "resistance is futile") #
• 22:38 @BackStory OMG, Adrian Finighan in Manchester interviewing the kid is just too CUTE! #
• 22:39 @rosemaryCNN re Mike Tyson's daughter, it is a tragedy indeed. am sure you will do a sweep of your own home when you finish for the day! #
• 22:40 @BackStory *waves a late hello and waves banners for Barca* whee! exciting day! #
• 23:22 @abeolandres re phone with no 3G, no WiFi, no GPS: can live without GPS, but without the first two? no way! #
• 23:24 @AtiaAbawi hi, Ms. Atia! i hope you've recovered from your accident some time ago? :) #
• 23:25 @BonnieWeather awwww...i've always liked the sound of the word "poppet" as a term of affection. :) #
• 23:27 @purefoy ahaha, there's nothing like that moment when you discover what's been lurking behind the @ username tab! *grin* #
• 23:40 @holmescnn *waves banners for the Spurs* though honestly, Philippine TV does not get near enough football to watch. #
