Salad

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy being alone?

Describe your sleeping habits.

.: thanks to work toxicity, I have a perfectly erratic sleeping hours. Before I stumble to dream land, I either set the sleep timer of the TV to 30 minutes, close my eyes and try my best to relax in order to fall asleep or shut the TV off completely, engulfing myself to total darkness, and try my best to relax in order to fall asleep.

Tomorrow, at 8 a.m., I would already be off to Dumaguete for my consecutive days off. Yay! I am already excited.

How fast 9 days go by. Why 9 days? (I don’t think I have posted it yet, but I think I made a draft with this somewhere in here..and I don’t know where it went..typically a sanguine..LOL) Well, that’s the cycle length of our duty. 9 days on, and then 6 days off. Our sked is really very convenient and when I think about it, I don’t think I would ever use up any of my allotted vacation leave credits. That’s a good thing, especially because we get to monetize 10 days of leave every year.

Anyway, I already packed with me my BIG badminton bag for travel tomorrow as I plan on playing all evenings of my day off, with Borski of course. Tomorrow would also be Kai and Siegfred’s (our badminton buddies) wedding, and from what I gleaned from their invitation, gold would be the motiff. I would have to find me a gold polo tomorrow as the wedding isn’t until 6 p.m. yet and I’d be in Dumaguete around 4 p.m. already. I think that’d be enough time for me to find one, and yes, the gift too. As Borski and I were chatting over Skype earlier, she also told me that she’d also be shopping for a gold dress for the wedding. So we’ll be doing that as soon as I arrive.

Earlier, I got a text message from Clyde (brother no. 3). I guess he has memorized my schedule too. This brother of mine usually gets teased by us because of his vanity when it comes to his skin. Whenever any of us has acne, he always recommends acne treatment that he gets from his dermatologist, which is also our aunt.

—————

..below is an excerpt of our text exchange… 

Clyde: are you coming home tomorrow?

Nai: yup..why do you ask? are you cooking something special because I am coming home?

Clyde: you want?

Nai: Sure! as if you know how to cook! :p

Clyde: what you don’t know can’t hurt you…hehehe

Now I don’t know what to make of this. LOL.

The Wifi Hotspot is.

Remember my previous post about buying a wireless router? Well, I went ahead and got one yesterday after I got off work. I wanted it bad enough to withdraw money before going to the computer stall at SM Bacolod. Perhaps it was the thought of finally doing away with the “intestines” that were hanging from my laptop that sealed the decision of getting a wireless router. I figured having a wireless router would clear up the clutter in the room, as I do most of my online activities on my bed. The sight of the wires are already enough of an eyesore, not to mention it being so cumbersome, and there is always that danger of me tripping over them.

Boy oh boy was I excited to set it up. I got a D-link 4 port wireless router. I wasn’t able to set it up until around 10a.m. this morning, and the techno geek in me was hard at work. LOL. Deep down, I was also afraid of any bugs or glitches that would arise during the setting up. But lo and behold, everything went according to plan, and I had set it up in no time, thanks in part to its very user-friendly step-by-step setup guide. Yoohooo! I was proud of myself for that accomplishment. Even the downtime of our webhosting could not dampen my high spirits this morning. I lost no time in breaking the news to Borski and told her that I’d like to set up something like that when we get our own place.

Thinking of accessorizing our place, I am planning on getting home theater seating as well, for long movie marathons in the living room, and I have already pictured it in my mind. Much like this one.

Perhaps we can make use of the proceeds from on here to make this a reality. What say you, Borski?

I found this story on line about an Aussie who won the lottery, and then lost it, and then won it again. Confused?

Werner Reinhold bought the winning lottery number at a newsstand in Sydney, Australia. However, his winning lottery numbers did not print correctly, so he asked for another one, which turned out to be the winning lottery numbers.

However, when he came back to claim his purse, he discovered that the replacement lottery numbers were canceled and he was denied the prize. The total cash amount was at Australian$2 million. Whew! That is a lot of money lying on the balance of whether which ticket was the authentic one.

To cut the long story short, he sued the newsstand who sold him the ticket and was awarded A$2Million in damages, citing negligence, breach of contract by the newsstand and the state lottery company. Hence, he won, lost it, and then won it again.

Reading about this story has made me curious as to these online lotteries. One of such is Dream & Win at this site. The procedure is quite simple where you can join the simple draw and treat yourself to one of the many once-in-a-lifetime adventures. What’s more, you can choose your desired prize, and with the amazing odds, there is that large chance of our dreams coming true.

I am keeping my fingers crossed.
