My mom finally arrived from her 2 weeks vacation last Nov 8 (Saturday) so that made me relax while I’m at work and not worry about my son drowning in the bathroom or choking with a small part of his toy.
On my way home Monday night, I board a bus (Santrans) and I was curious about a device on the wrist of the Kundoktor (don’t know if this is the right spelling). It’s as long as a PSP but a bit thicker, like an old fat TV remote control. I was eyeing it while he takes payment from other passengers and a tape receipt comes out of this. Yes people (for the benefit of my friends who does not take BUS), the bus ticketing system is improving… no more ticket of several denominations. What’s cool is that the ticket already indicates your destination and where you board, time as well as the amount you paid. It has also a bus number in the ticket which is for me a great improvement just in case you need to complain the driver or the bus company to LTRFB =) May pagasa pa talaga umasensyo ang Pinas.. though I haven’t seen others have such device yet… so I’m hoping that soon all bus companies would have this FAB way of ticketing bus passengers... will Jeepney's soon follow?Okay so moving on to Tuesday… It was raining hard after I left my clients building and since its already 6pm I decided to went home straight from my client call. Unfortunately, rush hour and rain does not really go well together because it means traffic and a lot of commuters stuck in the bus stop. So I went back to Galleria (my client’s office is beside the mall), and decided to pamper myself with pedi and mani while I wait for the rain to stop and for the traffic to ease up.
Upon entering California Nail Spa, there was only 1 customer, and she looks vaguely familiar.. as I settle myself with an OK! Magazine in front of her.. I recognize her but I was skeptic ..but then who else could it be? Another few seconds of staring at her while she examines her toes, it was indeed Donita… she had no makeup on and was very ordinary looking.. she even have black circles around her eyes (maybe for waking up too early for her morning TV show). Naks pang showbiz ang nail services..hahaha!
Moving on...OK!'s November ish featured the stars of the anticipated movie, Twilight . I remember chatting with my cousin-in-law a few years back (I think it was 2006) and she was reading this book and she said that is popular teen novel, NY best seller and she loves it! etc (she’s 13 then). But I didn't bother buying the book thinking that it was too juvenile for me.. so here comes 2008 and the buzz is all around me.. even in the office! So it was more out of curiosity that I bought the 1st book of the Twilight saga. While on my way home.. I saw a billboard of the movie along EDSA and when I saw the tagline… I was even more curious about the book… the billboard says “The hottest books…. since Harry Potter”. WOW! I love HP and if its compared to Twilight then it must be very good. So I started reading it on the bus, on my way home. And to my surprise.. I stayed up until 3am last Friday just to finish the book. I have not read such book with so much anticipation…. Since Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons. I even read in the bathroom for hours..hahaha! I regretted I’ve waited this long to read it but I’m glad I finished it before the showing of the film adaptation. I hope the movie will gave justice to the book. Can’t wait to get hold of the sequel book (New Moon).
Wednesday till Friday just passed by so fast with all the stress at work..Targets and deadlines to meet. I can’t wait for 2008 to end. I’m still 3.9M behind my target!
In a 5 weeks, its my birthday already and I have not done my annual wish yet! Ahhhh!!!
And to make matters worse!!! Serena is kissing Aaron Rose! Eeeewww!
