Perks and Much More

Published by Justine

I got off work early today because of an earlier shift so I figured I’d finally write something in here. I know it’s been a while.. so many things have happened since the last time I wrote here more than a month ago. If I started where I left off, yes my best friend(s) came to town to visit me and it was the one of the best weekends ever, or if not, then the best weekend of this year. Even if it meant I had to trade sleep and my zombie eyes had to work overtime. We went island hopping, partied like there’s no tomorrow, I became a tourist in my own city because I got to go to places I had never been and of course the most important things: my best friends, and a piece of Jakarta life in my not-so-new life back home here in Cebu. Over the weekend I watched Perks of Being a Wallflower with my sister Jana. Perfect is quite an understatement. I read the book not too …

Weekend Before THE Weekend

January 2011 I had never imagined that my best friend and I would come to a point where we had to book flights just to see each other. It’s crazy! I only saw her during the 1st half of 2011 and the first 2 months of this year. That was something I was not used to at all, but such is life, and life goes on. In about a week we will be finally seeing each other and I AM SO excited. Which reminds me, I need to set up a plan for what we’re going to do because 6 days is such a short time. Aaaahhhhh! Ever since I got back here I’ve only been immersing myself in work and a little bit of social life so I really need to come up with a plan on where to take her, what to do and have fun all at the same time. Plus two good friends from Jakarta are also joining us, so the excitement (and pressure to show Cebu) is definitely multiplying! I …

Fifty Shades of Me No Likey

Published by Justine

I think it’s about time I address this book and write about it. I haven’t really encountered a “bad book” until this one and I consider myself quite the pop culture bandwagonner and read most of the mainstream books so I decided to give the Fifty Shades series a chance, mostly because of the movie buzz that surrounded it. I did the same with Twilight a few years ago and ended up quite enjoying the series. It didn’t turn me into a Twihard, but I didn’t close myself off to the succeeding books and eventually the movie franchise (which I’m quite indifferent about actually, so to speak). Now about Fifty Shades, well it hurt my brain. It was such a struggle to read! I read on even though I knew it already was an awful book to start with from the first few chapters because I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. It was popular for a reason right? I loved Harry Potter, Twilight wasn’t so bad and The Hunger Games was …

The State of Things

So… My MacBook Pro is finally gone for repair. The lady said it will probably take 7 to 14 days to a month tops. I wasn’t all that shocked because I anticipated about a month or so, I just hope it won’t take longer than that. I made the decision today as fast as I could and decided to just bring it before I change my mind or else the warranty period is going to end and I’m going to have to pay a huge amount for it and regret, I have no time for that nor the personal expenses to get myself an Apple Care Protection Program. Gone are the days where I could still ask Mom and Dad to get me the things I need. On the rough road to financial independence. Yay me? LOL. So anyway here I am typing this blog post from my iPhone. I’m going to become a laptop scavenger at home, beware fambam!

I really need to buy a new 500gb external harddrive so I can sync my MacBook Pro into eternity before sending it over to the Apple doctors to have the LCD fixed before the warranty runs out in about 2 weeks. I’m contemplating on whether I should get AppleCare or not because really, who needs extra expenses when you’re on the bumpy road of financial independence. This all needs to be done before August 10 and knowing me, it’s going to take a while. HAVE HAVE HAVE TO! I hope I come back to this blog and have good news about my laptop, my estimate is that it will be gone from me for 1 month–that’s my worst case scenario and if it’s gone from me for more than that I think I might cry. *CROSSES FINGERS*
