Manzana

The other day, I experienced an up-side to not having children right now (at least for me). It was 11:30PM (work night) and Joaquin had a craving for a buñuelo, and I had a craving for Manzana (apple soda). So we just picked up and left in search for a Colombian bakery open that late. We figured Jackson Heights was the best spot to look. We were right. Right on Roosevelt Ave. we found a bakery. We SO enjoyed the pan de bono, pan de queso, and buñuelo (if you haven't tried it yet, go out and get one). We even picked up a 2-liter of Manzana in the bodega across the street (lol, only in NYC). Then headed to Blockbuster to rent Crank (I don't recommend it.. or Miami Vice. Stick to Sex & the City. lol) I thought to myself that if I were to have a baby right now, I wouldn't be able to do this kind of stuff or any crazy spontaneous thing. Don't get me wrong, I want a family eventually, but I'm enjoying the freedom (and selfishness) now.

Anyway, other thoughts on my mind:
Bush does not need to send 20,000+ more troops to Iraq. That's enough already! Game Over.

Tobacco industries increased the amount of nicotine in their products. This is their strategy for losing their customers on high cigarette prices and those that are quitting (the better option!). More nicotine = worse addiction. So stop smoking people! Besides, it's bad for you.

THAT mood

oooh man. It's that time again. Where I get lost in my thoughts, yet I'm so productive at home w/ the errands and chores. I got great new earings thanks to a gift card Mimi gave me, so that's the highlight of today. Actually, I am proud of myself: The whole day I did not spend any money on food b/c I had food (& dessert) at home that I cooked. I didn't even do retail therapy or chocolate therapy when the both of them were right in front of my face. When I feel "bleh" retail or chocolate therapy is the best temporary cure.

Since I'm in that mood where I 'get to thinking', I pop in a Sex & the City DVD (in my case, season 5). Watching that while I'm in the thinking mood just adds fuel to the fire.

I'm in this new craze with buying sleepwear - comfy, sexy, trendy, plain, practical, funky - you name it, I want it so I can wear it to bed or just lounge by myself. But I can only buy only a limited amount b/c its courtesy of a gift card ;)

I just got my new haircut yesterday, today I have my hair up. Figures. I have this habit of keeping my hair away from my face. I feel like I get more work done that way.

I like my earings.

4 A.M.

It's 4am and I'm still up. I haven't done this since college.

Instead of getting the much needed sleep, I am online shopping. I just purchased some Sale items from the Victoria Secret website. I have 2 giftcards and I intended to use them. I would've walked to the mall today afternoon, which is a block away, but I almost always don't find what I like. If I could, I would just use my giftcards via online shopping, but sometimes, it just makes more sense to go to the store, and save on shipping, especially knowing if I'll be around the store a certain day of the week.

I also cut my hair. Nothing drastic, but shorter and a lot more layers b/c the loooong hair was just getting too heavy and as a result, more and more hair was falling off (I don't mind at this point b/c I just have too much hair). Jowak says it looks "sexy":-) I think I just look "more serious", but I like his comment better, hehe.

[30 minutes later]
Oh crap. It's 4:30am. I had a minor case of ADD and went off online shopping/browsing at Target.com. Even made a list. Shoot. Well, I have to spend the giftcard, so I'm not complaining. I was still going to blog about New Year's and resolutions and all that good stuff, but I better just go to bed. Crap. I'm gonna be a zombie tomorrow. good night, er, good morning!

Hey, before I forget, congratulations Din on your full scholarship to Ateneo! (did I spell that right?)
