As I have previously blogged, we were to attend a wedding. I tried curling my hair but couldn’t. The (xtenso) treatment had been making my hair straight defying any heat to curl it. It shouldn’t be a surprise since I don’t normally comb or brush my hair after shower and yet, my hair is straight all day.

Anyway, I sought the help of a friend who lives beside our house. She decided to just pull my hair in a half-pony. And she had done a great make-up too. All these for free!

I asked at the salon how much will they charge to have my hair done. 500 bucks!!! No, thanks. I’ll curl my hair myself!

We are attending a wedding (not my sister’s) tonight. My plan is to curl my hair but can’t decide between the two.

Hmm, I had my hair (xtenso) treated 4 months ago, I’m not really sure if I can curl it. Good luck to me. I’d probably start 2 hours from now as I’m still busy looking for the most affordable California car insurance and still swamped with work. Don’t you just love multitasking and cramming?

Btw, I had just tried two cocktail dresses. Good thing they both still fit me. Or else, I have nothing to wear later.

This feels weird. I just answered a bunch of questions and now I’m happier than 80% of all people!
Or maybe, I’m just in a very good mood today.

Your Life is Better Than 80% of All People

You really have things pretty good – so stop a minute and appreciate how great your life is. You likely have a cheery outlook, supportive friends, and plenty to keep you happily busy. You are usually content – and with good reason. You have a lot to be happy about. So when things don’t go well, remember that you have it better than most people!

My brother has been asking me to teach him more on SQL. I agreed telling him we can schedule a one-on-one tutorial when we visit my parents’ house next week. He then started telling me that his current on-the-job training focuses on Visual Studio projects. (His instructors build on the students’ low language skills then moving into the visual languages later.) We started talking about work experiences. Since on his college projects, one developer codes one at a time, he wonders how it works when project tasks are divided among several team members.

I told him about versioning and how hosted team foundation server comes into play. Though I must admit I’m not really familiar with hosted tfs, I told him this is used in controlling access to the codes and integrating with SharePoint and Project. This tfs hosting has gained the trust of businessmen for their reliability having free support and for their affordability with no set-up fee.

I didn’t know that a simple YM status could be very helpful. I am swamped with work today. So I have put on my status “busy validating”. Yes, nobody disturbed me today.

When I’m not that busy, I scan my list and check their status. I sometimes see funny and witty remarks. Some post links to funny videos.

And of course, some people post as a sarcastic answer to an equally sarcastic status. Who would have thought that a simple status can have a big impact on how people react.

This week is so hectic! Yesterday was our company Christmas party. Imagine I had to finish one document that usually takes up 2-3 hours before I leave for the party. We had to go there early as to avoid heavy traffic. Anyway, I was able to finish the document in an hour. Whew!

Sharing a photo of the desserts. I’d say yummmmmmmy!!!

Today is Pacquiao vs Dela Hoya match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Every Filipino will be glued to the tube while silently praying for Pacquiao’s win. Last night, hubby and I even watched the 24/7 documentary on the two. It made us even more excited to watch. Just an hour to go (9pm EST) before the most awaited match.

Good luck Pacman!

Most moms, in my opinion, have some sort of sideline job to help augment the family budget. Maintaining the family’s financial health can be tricky. Sometimes you loan for money just to cover another debt. And then, before you know it, you are deep in debt.

Whether you have credit card, mortgage, auto or student loans debt, this company can build a plan to help you pay off your debt in few years. You may download your customized roadmap to being debt-free. Try them now.

Yesterday, the original (twitter) meet-up time was between 12 noon and 1pm. But around that time, I was just still preparing. Because I am a late-riser, all I had before I left home was brunch. When I came to our meet-up place, they have finished eating. So I had to order a solo meal. They continued on chatting while I eat listening to their chat. We planned on hopping to Starbucks so that Joy and Aggie could connect to the net while we continue on bashing someone. Joke!

When it was time to go, I was supposed to say, “bill out na tayo“. But instead I said, “log out na tayo“.

Don’t you think I’m spending too much time in the cyberworld?

Here are some pics I grabbed from Litz’ flickr:

On my way to our meet-up, I realized how early it was. Yes, it is Friday but it used to be that at that hour, I am likely to be still in bed. Meet-ups were scheduled usually at 8pm the earliest. But now that mommies were meeting up, it wasn’t a night out. It was lunch and coffee meet-up.

It turned out that I wasn’t the only one who have this observation. One mom related that once she went out with friends on a late night to be “in” and cool. But instead of “chillaxin”, she was yawning at 10pm.

Expectedly, at 6pm, everyone was in a hurry to leave.
