Back from Break
August 29, 2008It’s been a while since my last post, as I suddenly saw myself caught in an onslaught of work, craziness and unfortunate events. As such, the month of August has definitely posed a major challenge in many facets of my life. It has challenged my self-esteem, my pride, my “paninindigan” and even my people-skills.
With that said, this post is a list of lists…a compilation of random thoughts that need to be honored in some way.
Of course the highlight of the month would be my Davao adventure! As such, the first few lists come from the trip. So here goes….

Not so Happy Feet
August 3, 2008
I dusted off my old pair of Happy Feet and remembered why I stopped wearing them.
They don’t make my feet happy 
I might be one of the few who would say this, but for some reason, every time I wear these shoes my feet (or at least the sides of the arch part of my feet…sorry can’t explain it any better!) hurt like all hell. Then they get swollen and i can barely put my foot flat on the floor.
I suppose it’s because I’m flat-footed (which I am literally!). I suppose the hard wood and the arched design is not that suitable to someone with my foot-type. Or maybe because it has gotten old already. I remember when I first bought it, it started out the same way: pain for days after wearing it for long. Then as my foot got accustomed to it, it started being less painful. But as it got worn out, it started to hurt again.
Too bad…it would have been perfect for days like these…
Hope for the internet-ically challenged
I am officially internet-ically challenged.
No, I’m not just talking about lacking skills in terms of computer technology (I do know the basics after all), but as of today, I am literally and figuratively internet challenged.
First it was the screwed up ym…then came the refusal of my mobile phone to access the Multiply site…and finally, yesterday, I could not even access yahoo anymore. Talk about challenged.
Again, I don’t know what happened…it just did!!! Just like my ym, when I use my brothers phone, I can access the web: both multiply and yahoo works. So? Is it me?!?
My theory here is that I gotta stop going online…especially in class, while driving, in meetings…maybe the net is teaching me a lesson.
‘Yoko nga! Bukas bibili ako ng bagong phone!!!
Buhay Coke Party!
August 1, 2008This morning I got to work and was welcomed with an announcement: “I signed you up for the Buhay Coke party”.
Yey!
As babaw or shallow as it may sound, ever since my first blogger’s event, I have increasingly become caught up with the whole blogger thing and blogger communities. With that said, obviously looking forward uli ako to the next Buhay Coke party. Too bad Jonel won’t be there! Grace, Janine and I will definitely make our way down to Taste Asia, MOA on August 8 for the Buhay Coke Vlog Contest Announcement of Winners Party
Wanna come? http://aileenapolo.blogspot.com/2008/07/buhay-coke-party-ulit-announcement-of.html
