I have to admit, i’m really not much of a fan for pets. In fact, i’m afraid of dogs! My friend, Mellany, hate me for this. Heheh! But my family did have a dog before. I used to love dogs. I don’t know what change but i now fear dogs. Maybe because we have lots of stray dogs outside the street and it would always run after us! A friend of mine in California said she spends a lot for her dog. She even bought some very cute pet beds for her dogs. Good for her! My friend, Lenny, when she was still here in the Philippines would spend money for her adopted dog’s clinic hours. Wow! The dog gets to spend some time every weekend at the beach! Yeah, very lucky dog.

Right now, my family (nephews) is into raising chickens. That i still can handle, just don’t let me handle the wastes. Heheh.

My ultimate plan, moneywise, is to finally cut off all of my credit cards this year. It’s close to impossible considering my finances but i’ll try. If it won’t succeed, at least, for the next year i have less to worry about. One of my friends doesn’t have a credit card for herself. She said she prefers to pay in cash, so that later she doesn’t need to worry about paying for something. But right now she actually wants to have one since most of transactions now a days can be done online so she basically needs a card. She asked me about credit card processing and asked me if i know of someone/agent whom she can trust.
Arrgg now i’m reminded, i haven’t paid my bill yesterday. Tsk. Now i have to pay for the late payment. That’s one of the reasons why i don’t want to carry credit cards anymore!

I’ve been having problems with my internet connection for over a week already. I’ve been calling customer service but all they could tell me is that i’m just having browser problems. I quite don’t concur to their answer because i’m using two different browsers and i’m getting the same problem. I just received my bill and i’m dismayed because i haven’t use much internet time because of downtime yet i’ll be paying the same amount. Sigh. Lucky for me tonight because i get through and i can now search for some new acne treatments that my niece is bugging me about. I’m now thinking of changing my service provider if i’ll still have the same problem in the next coming days. I’ve been seeking help from my colleagues, i’ve tried their suggestions but to no avail. There’s one shot i’ll have to try, if it won’t work, hmmn…

A friend of mine just send me a text message asking had i ever found the best weightloss supplement because she might just as well need it. Hahah! So, now i’m not alone in that quest. I didn’t believe her but true enough when i saw her pics, she definitely gained weight. She’s really a sexy lady so i understand how she’s desperate to get back to her normal weight now. Well, i’m not the right person to seek answers to because i’m having the same dilemma myself. So much so that i wanted to finally find the perfect pill but at the same time i’m too afraid to take some. Maybe i’ll just try my luck with running for now. If all else fails, we’ll see…

My internet connection has been down for the past few days. I’ve been wanting to find a job and update my resume online. Heheh! Opps! Now that it’s up, let me share some stories that transpired during the past week.

It’s a long weekend for us. I was practically off for 3 days from work last week. I got cough and colds and i took 2 days off because of the supposedly plan of going to Bohol with my college friend. Unfortunately it did not push through because my godson (friend’s son) got sick. It was still a good thing because our other friend from Bohol came to Cebu last Saturday instead. We were supposed to have lunch together but i arrived way later. That morning i woke up to a severe stomachache. Well, it’s one of those days wherein i have to bout with hyperacidity. The pain didn’t subside until around 2:00pm. I managed to catch up with them just some minutes before my friend from Bohol had to leave for her doctor’s appointment. (The very reason why she was around town.) I had to go to the SRP area too for the Sundown Race. I didn’t join the run but i wanted to see the festivities in the area. It was so good to see once again two of my dear friends from college. Such meeting doesn’t come often. The other one now works in Singapore, the other one’s in Bohol, while me is here stuck in Cebu. But I do hope to see them again soon.

Yey! I just casted my votes! But that will be another story.

I was browsing some sites earlier to check out some resorts my friend and I will stay at tomorrow. There are too many resorts in Bohol to choose from but there was one resort i especially like because of the Quoizel lighting that the resort is using. I checked the resort’s rates and i had to say no because it’s not budget friendly. It’s a premier resort and it’s peak season, it’s no surprise rates are higher than usual. Up until this very minute, we haven’t decided, so maybe we’ll just toss coins tomorrow and see where it will end us. Heheh! I could suggest the place we stayed at when my officemates and I went to Bohol last 2007 but i wanted to see another place so i could see another view. The trip’s not yet 100% final though so let’s just see. By the way, i will be boarding on a fastcraft called Starcraft. Sounds cute or freaky? Lol!
