Pesky Virus!!!!!!!!!!!

Image
I have no idea why these Trojan viruses keep on popping up on my computer. I already quarantined quite a few and it seems there's no stopping them. It's a good thing my virus shield intercepts them before they can wreak havoc on my computer but it's really irritating...and scary I must admit. Everytime I see the warning 'threat 'detected' I close the browser as soon as possible thinking the virus will do damage to my computer if I don't close the browser. I thought it's because of my browser that the virus gets in. I was still using Netscape up until a few days ago. I'm just used to it so I thought of just sticking to it even if it's no longer supported by a lot of sites. After a couple of times of being attacked by the virus, I switched to Internet Explorer and Google Chrome alternately. It didn't do any good since I'm still seeng the virus pops up almost daily. Ugh!

Uniforms

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I didn’t have a charmed life growing up. My parents were almost always struggling to make both ends meet…but we survived. Yes we had lots of love and care among us but we couldn’t deny the fact that we were missing a lot of basic necessities some days. This is the reason why I was thankful that I had to wear uniforms when I was in high school and college. At least I didn’t have the feeling of inferiority since we were all wearing the same type of clothes. It wouldn’t have mattered in high school whether we had uniforms or not because my classmates in high school and I were in the same spectrum as far as social status is concerned. But such was not the case in college. I went in an exclusive school for girls and majority of my classmates were either in the middle or rich category so I liked wearing uniform . Since one of my brothers only gets paid the minimum salary, we sometimes volunteer to help him with his kids school needs. His kids are either in high s...

Bad Day

It's a song originally sang by David Powter. It became very popular when American Idol used it as a theme song for the eliminated contestants and was played while showing the different highlights of the eliminated contestant at the end of the show. The Chipmunks sang it in the Alvin & the Chipmunks movie and since the time that the little one saw this in the DVD , she's been singing it on and off. Recently though it's the ONLY song she's been singing....like 100x a day. She sings it quite well but she tries to sing it like the Chipmunks!!!!!!!!!!!! Arrghhh.... I already told her she cannot watch that DVD again until she stops copying the chipmunks! It's funny for the first few times but it gets annoying afterwards. I still hear her humming it but that's okay...as long as she does not sound like the chipmunks...

Bad Decision

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As always, the weekend just breezed through us that we barely felt it. We had a relatively pleasant weekend though. We just stayed home and ate junk foods. The little one couldn't be any more excited since she's deprived of junk foods around here. I did very little work and so did the husband. Both of us spent some time on the phone though. I was able to talk and catch up with a friend who is now on the West coast for a business conference. It's been a while since the last we spoke on the phone so it was great talking with her. The hubby spoke with a friend as well who is now in the process of selling his newly-renovated house. I was actually surprised to learn that they're selling. Apparently, the mortgage just became too much for them. This is the same person who just recently retired trying to find ways to invest his retirement money so I actully suggested that they buy gold bullion some months ago. He wanted something secure and gold is secu...

Wishing You A...

It's a sunny Sunday around here this morning. Of course that can change in a split second. That's just how it is in the sunshine state during summer...and the rest of the year. The weather is quite unpredictable. Anyway, our weekend has been uneventful so far. It's quiet in the work front and we're taking it easy on the home front. I just got off the phone with a friend who's visiting a sister in the West coast. It's great to talk with her for long period of time and get caught up with what's happening with our respective lives. Oh...and I also became a grandmother for the 3rd time courtesy of another niece. Actually, hubby said I'm a great-aunt. Not quite sure which is better...grandmother 0r great-aunt. The word 'great' just makes it sound like I'm ancient...which I am....almost anyway. I haven't seen any of my 'grandchildren' but I'm hoping to see them sooner or later. That's about it. I stll have a few tasks to finish ...

'Oficina de la Casa'

A quick peek at our little home office. We still haven't had the chance to organize it so pardon the mess. The book shelves are still empty since the books are all over the house [boxes in the garage included] so I decided to put the framed pictures of the little one and her 'art works' on display. Dad said it's too 'busy' with all the pictures but the little one said...it looks great!! Hahaha...I guess she admires her work and her pictures more than we know, eh? Now I look like a receptionist in an office whenever I sit on my chair. See the little pink paper on the table? The little one made it. It has my name on it....LOL....you just gotta' love her, right?

This is For You...
