Honey-do-list #637 done! Kitchen Sink Faucet replaced

What the heck! How many honey-do-list do I have?! Lol!  Just kidding!  It’s not that much. I’m just trying to make a point on some of the item on my list that I’m procrastinating.
This particular one is actually the number 1 priority because it is always being used.  So one weekend I just decided to tackle the task and get it over with.
and here’s the end result.

My widget enabled!

I guess this latest update is a little stable than before.  Managed to post some of my stale messages that I have stored in the bb 8310 holding bin and flagged “to-be-posted”

Some late posted goes back to June 23 when I heard about the Philippine Ferry that capsized and killed hundreds of people. “Sumalangit nawa ang mga kaluluwa nila”

And also i finally enabled the widget features of Wordpress.  Much! Much! Better!  I like the tag cloud.  I had been seeing it from other blogs and sites but never got around in putting one up until now.

May labingdalawang blog post din akong isasangkalan para sa aking pangaraw-araw na hanapbuhay. Maybe I can start on it tomorrow.  Sana nga…

Rum & Danzinger a portrait

Wala lang. Napagtripan ko lang kunan ng picture itong dalawang alak na bigay sa amin.  Yung Presidente bigay ng kaibigan na chikana ng jowa ko. Galing ata sila ng Mex from bakasyon kaya naisipan naman pasalubungan ang jowa ko nito..Pero para sa akin ata ito dahil may kasamang mga kendi galing din sa Mex.

Yung Danzinger Goldwasser naman bigay ng katrabaho ko sa akin.  Pangalawang bote nya na itong binigay sa akin. Yung una bawas na pero ito hindi pa bukas.

Oks lang. pahinugin ko lang sila ng konti. :)

And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:14

And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

I’m not really an avid bible reader but once in a while there are some nice passage that sticks to my mind and associates it with my everyday life.

Rough translation - Hayup ka! Dimonyo ka rin pala!  :)

Manny Pacquiao wins against Diaz!

Wow! what a fight! This one I enjoyed very much.
The last time I saw him fight I wasn’t impressed cuz’ he seems to be moving slow and out of focus. I thought this fight will be a loss to him but he turned out to be a great sportsman. The way he handled his opponent and the respect he showed. Great boxer this guy Pacquiao!
We usually watch his fight at my house but this time we got invited at a friend’s house and turned out to be a small crowd. Diaz has been a sport too and on his comments after the fight we started dropping those 4-letter words with combinations of some “-ing” too!

American Airlines to charge for the 1st checked bag..

This is it! American Airlines just jumped in the bandwagon of airlines that charges for the checked bags.  They will also cut some of their flights.

Here’s the whole story..

American Airlines will start charging $15 for the first checked bag, cut domestic flights and lay off possibly thousands of workers as it grapples with record-high fuel prices.

American plans to cut domestic flight capacity by 11 percent to 12 percent in the fourth quarter, after the peak summer season is over. That’s more than double American’s previous plans to cut flying by 4.6 percent in late 2008.

In a further sign of the problems facing the industry, Southwest Airlines Co., the most consistently profitable U.S. carrier, won’t earn as much the rest of this year as it did in the same period of 2007, Chief Executive Gary Kelly said.

American, the nation’s largest carrier, said Wednesday the fee for the first checked bag starts June 15 and that it would raise other fees for services ranging from reservation help to oversized bags. The other fees will mostly range from $5 to $50 per service, the airline said.

Last month American announced it would join other carriers in charging $25 for second bags checked for some passengers, but it wasn’t immediately clear how Wednesday’s announcement would affect that.

Postage Rate increase again! 1st class stamp to $0.42

It was just last year on May 14th 2007 when the USPS increased their rate from $0.39 to $0.41

Now by Monday May 12th 2008 the first class stamp will be $0.42
Maybe it’s time to buy one of those ‘forever stamps’ that the post office are selling.  Either ways it’s an additional price hike in this shaky economy.  Gas prices continously rises and food prices are not far behind.  In other countries even rice is a precious commodity.

It’s still under debate if America is really under recession or just in denial.  But one thing is for sure. It’s time for some frugal living.

 

Super H-Mart at Carrollton, Texas

There’s a new oriental store in the Carrollton area!  http://www.hmart.com
Hmart

(Note: Please be aware that it might ask you to install the Korean language pack-it’s up to you if you want to.)

 It a korean supermarket off the GB Turnpike at Old Denton Road.  Of what I heard they have a restaurant and we are gearing to check it out today! I’ll post the experience once we come back.

Update: March 30-Sunday-
Maganda sya. Malaki at saka ang daming laman.  Marami pa silang aayusin pero mukhang may potential. Medyo magulo ang loob kasi maraming namimili dahil may promo silang raffle na pag nanalo ka ng 1st prize Mercedes Benz na SUV! Kaya siguro maraming naloloko!
Bumili kami ng mga pickled food like kimche at iba-iba pang korean food. Kaya eto. diarrhea ang result! parusa kagabi tapos hindi ko na makayanan kaya tumira na ako ng imodium.  Hindi pa nga namin natikman yung mga pagkain sa mini-food court nila at hindi na namin nakita yung mga pinoy foods.  maybe next time.

The New Knight Rider on NBC!

Cool! Just finished watching the new Knight Rider.  They switched the TransAm to a Mustang. Totally different voice and new techies installed.  Will sure be following this series.

here’s a snippet from the site.. 

As the original story resumes, the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body — thanks to its creator’s work and nanotechnology — is capable of actually shifting shape and color. Plus, its artificial intelligence makes it the ideal good cop partner: logical, precise and possessing infinite knowledge. It is the ultimate car — and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.

Ask and you shall receive!- DiscoverCard Rocks! revisited

I made a post about my recent communication with DiscoverCard last night but after a few minutes I decided to delete that post.  Just my luck our trusty search engine Google had already crawled that page and I just felt compelled to repost that message..

Tonight I decided to give Discover a call to request if they can lower my rate since I was one of the thousands of people who gets stuck with high interest rates and pays it too. I called the customer service and was promptly transferred to a rate negotiator at Pheonix and without any reluctance the rep that I talked to gave me a very low rate that will be in effect for six months and that made my day!  I was just too happy which made me write this post just to thank them cuz’ I forgot to get the rep’s name.
