In need of a new Laptop or Desktop? Whatever.

I forgot to mention here that my Dell Mini Laptop is not working. I won't get into the details, it hurts my pocket just thinking about it. LOL! But with that said, I really need a new one. I am making do with my Inspiron but this too dies on me after a few hours with a busted monitor. Sad.
I am thinking of getting a desktop instead of a new laptop though. It costs less and I could upgrade it for sometime. And I want to really get that cool LCD monitor and a fancy fancy mice. The works as they say. I want to finally be able to buy a printer for all those photos we have stored in our EHD.
On second thought, having a laptop has given me mobility, something I couldn't do with a desktop computer. I could work from everywhere I want. I could bring my laptop anywhere I want.
Choices, choices. Help?
I had a wonderful Saturday. I spent it with the husbo. No, we didn't go out, no shopping, no dining out and we didn't watch a movie. We spent our time at home, inside our room. It was the best! We had each other for company, our TV and DVD our movie theater and the nearby sari sari store served as our restaurant.
Sometimes it's the simple things in life that are worth remembering. It's the simple things that matter. The little things he does to show how much he loves me, the hugs that comfort me after a tiring day at work, the soothing words that calm me when I cry up a storm, the weekend breakfasts in bed, the funny faces he makes that gets me rolling in laughter. These things are what matters to me. The simple things, the free things that are worth remembering.
I just want to jot these down so I don't forget.
I just finished season 2 of Gossip Girl and can I just say I love all the scandals? Oh and call me wierd but Rufus is hot! LOL! I love the last episode where S asked to meet gossip girl and she had all Serena's friends go to their meeting place. It's just so true. Although one person sends the blast, she would not exist without all the stuff they send to her. So come to think of it, all of them are gossip girls. I can't wait for season 3!
And now because of GG I am sleepy. I need coffee. Until the next post. XOXO!
Several updates. So many things happened that I was just tired by Sunday. But I was happy and content and that's what matters.
Monday started with my husband getting sick. Aww. The poor thing was coughing non stop and his fever, although not that high, was making him really cranky. I had to stay home to take care of my sweetie. Top that up with the flu scare, I had to bring him for a check up when his fever did not go down by Tuesday. Good thing it was just stress and some infection that was relived by some Antibiotics.
The husband rewarded me by allowing me to meet with some friends last Friday night. I had so much fun with Joyce and Keala. I haven't seen them for so long! Of course we fell into our usual crazy stuff and didn't stop laughing all throughout dinner. I love these girls! They're really true friends I could count on.
I was also out Saturday paying some bills and met up with another good friend, Kayie. We had what we call our "food trip" time where we just ate and ate and ate to our stomach's content. Hahaha! I felt like bursting with all the food we ate. Of course, not to mention the laughter. Kayie, we should do this more often!
Sunday saw me holding the broom. I literally waged war with the dust bunnies in our room! It took me half the day to finish clearning everything. So by the time the husband came home from work, I was not able to see his reaction anymore. I was dead tired!
Whoo! What a week. Tired but happy.
Husbo and I are going out later today on a date - a SPA date that is. Heaven. Pure Bliss. Can't wait.

I am having a hard time letting go of you. When I did my best to avoid getting too attached to you, I ended up clinging to you for dear life. And while I did everything in my power to give you what you wanted, you threw everything in the wind. You did your best to show me you didn't really care - that I am only useful to you when you need something.
But this ends right here, right now. TODAY. No matter how hard, no matter how much I cry. Today, I choose to let go of you, to unclasp my hands one finger at a time. It's for the best. It's for MY best. You don't deserve my friendship and you don't deserve my time.
So goodbye. This ends now.
I'll be reposting a weekly simplicity tips here in my blog. I found this through Em's blog which she found on My Simpler Life blog.
So as a start, here's this week's simplicity tips:
1. Admit when you are wrong. Or at least that the other person could be right. Empty your purse or wallet daily. - I have started doing this to take charge of my daily budget. Anything extra goes into savings. :)
2. Commit to a quitting time for work. - Oh this is one thing I have learned to do as well and this has helped me bring down my stress levels! I do my best to be productive during working hours so I can go home at the exact end shift time. 3. Schedule play time with your spouse or a friend. - This is so much fun too! try this I swear this works wonders to your relationships. 4. Use dividers in an out of control drawer. - Hmm this is a great idea. I will be trying this one out. 5. Rotate toys and put some out of the way. 6. How are your exercise and eating habits? - Husbo and I have been keen on our exercise routines so I guess pretty good. :)So I hope these tips help you out. Watch out for next week's simplicity tips or you can go here directly.
I am gearing up for a big purchase by December 2010, so as early as now, my financial tracker reflects the years 2010 and 2011 already. LOL! Yeah, as early as now, I have laid down my financial goals already. I hope I can meet my goal for next year. I am pretty excited!
My only question is: should I go and settle on changing the rules or should I go for pure intensity? Can't wait!
The heat and humidity these days is a nightmare! The fact that this happens to our country every single year, you would think I would be used to it by now, but sadly, I feel like it's getting worse every single year. Imagine taking a bath and then minutes after stepping out of the bathroom, sweat is already dripping from your newly bathed self. That is how humid and hot it is here these days. Our water bill is already high from the constant bathing we all do.
I am just happy that the husband and I decided to invest in air conditioning when we got married. It's really a life saver in this sweltering heat! We have our unit turned on almost half of the day!
My foot is slowly getting better. We found out that the reason for the continued swelling was due to the excessive walking I do when I go to work. Not to mention the flight of stairs that I need to climb in order to get to the other side. The swelling is down now. I resorted to taking a cab everyday, to and from work my pockets are crying from the cab fares. :(
