Newsflash: Slow cooker = Hella slow!

LOL.

I actually wrote this blog last night... And published it!

...But as luck would have it, something went wrong, and I lost my blog.

So I'm typing this up from memory and adding some stuff in between.

------------------------------------------------------------

And now a series of unfortunate events...

For the past two weeks, I felt like we were living in the middle ages... The A/C was dripping in our bathroom and the light kind of got busted, so we had to use candles all the friggin' time. Which actually wasn't so bad... It's actually kind of funny, because apparently the lights were already fixed about two days ago and I didn't know about it... So I continued to use candles and my Mom was like "Why?". LOL. Tsk.

In those two weeks, we also had to use the other car, which is hella old, hence the A/C in it isn't working all too well. Buti na lang malamig lamig na, so it wasn't all too bad either.

Yesterday, our LPG ran out. Today, we called them up and they said that our gas thing was not legal... And we were like "Whaaa? How in the...?". Apparently, the old supplier, gave us a fake canister thing. Anywhatsss, we now have to find that supplier and shove their fake gas canister thing where the sun don't shine... Unfortunately, their number and sticker is lost and gone without a trace. Thankfully, we have a slow cooker for all our cooking needs... Of course, if you were to cook anything in that thing and be able to eat it, you'd have to cook it 48 years before you plan to eat... But hey it's better than nothing.

Did I mention that my boss collapsed last Wednesday? Oh dear goodness. I literally cried as they were carrying him out in the stretcher... Thankfully, he's fine. It was just that his blood sugar dropped, but he's fine, stable, and he was even released the same day.

Oh and remember this blog? And this? Yeah... Let's just say that my mind and my heart are still moving to the same beat. Thankfully. Maybe the half-rule is really true. Love in 11, get over it in 5 and a half... Or you know, whatever.

My puffer came in the mail today!
Yayyy! :)

Ribbed for your pleasure. Hahaha.

Test shot of my fat feet in finger socks. Haha. Parang paa ni Shrek... If Shrek were pink.

Puffered Mumu. Boohahaha. (No, Halloween isn't over yet. LMAO.)

Same settings without the puffer (Flash at 1/2 power) for comparison.

No puffer (Flash at 1/4 power)

No puffer (Flash at 1/8 power)

All shots were taken with a D40 except for this last one:

I still have to figure out the settings for it for the d300. White balance and everything... This is a little too red for my taste ... Or anyone else's for that matter. You would think it'd be the same, but no, not really.

And yes, for all ye smart asses who are just itching to say that I'm better off using tissue paper...

Tough beans. If you don't want a puffer, that's your choice, don't be tryna sway me with your know-it-all attitude, like I don't know what I'm doing... Ten years, baybee. TEN YEARS. I know a little bit. I don't know everything. But your snooty arrogant "photographer" ass don't know nothin' either.

------------------------------------------------------------

Oooh while we're on the theme of annoyance...

You know how when some people think they're all superior and all-knowing... Tas bigla kang so-soplahin sa harapan ng madla, but their facts are all wrong.

That's a funny feeling... Hindi mo kasi alam kung mapapahiya ka dahil nasopla ka, or maawa ka dahil yung nansopla sa'yo ang mapapahiya once they find out that they were wrong.

It's a wildly weird predicament.

------------------------------------------------------------

Thanksgiving week, baybee!!!

I'm hella psyched for Thanksgiving Day. We're not having turkey this year, by the by... None of the usual Thanksgiving food either... No cranberry. No potatoes. And no pumpkin or pecan pie.

I can't take time off work, so I'll just have to make my tried and tested baked fish and hope that everyone enjoys it. I meant to make pumpkin pie, but ayaw ni Teatah. Tsk. Pang-ginataan lang daw yun. So she's bringing Leche Flan instead.

Oh and for those who have no idea why we're celebrating Thanksgiving, when we're clearly not eh-meh-ree-kehn, just find the old blogposts... I'm tired of explaining this.

------------------------------------------------------------

PICASA 3!!! I love you!

Haha.

Picasa's made some very important updates, so if you haven't updated your Picasa yet, update it now, it is worth it!!! Expecially the text part. Goodness. Love love love.

------------------------------------------------------------

Oooh! Oooh! We finally found a shop that supplies Lampe Berger essential oils. Oh happy day!

...Pwede na akong magprito ng isda at tuyo dito sa bahay. Blahahaha.

------------------------------------------------------------

It's going to be a highly eventful weekend, starting with Thanksgiving on Thursday. After dinner, we'll be putting up the tree. We've got the Encore! on Friday night. Choir practice on Friday and Saturday afternoon. Then again on Monday (December 1st) and Tuesday (December 2nd) night.

Wow. I'm busy.

I mean, I say I'm busy, but I never really realized just HOW busy until I typed that up.

Oh well. See you soonest.

Kissy kissy!
