Just thought I would update the layout since I’ve been sick of the old one for a while now. I just love predone themes. I can’t be bothered to learn new coding. It doesn’t interest me as much anymore.
So how was everyones Christmas? Hope it was good! Mine was pretty good. Time spent with the family. Opening up presents, eating a delicious turkey dinner and watching some movies together. I got a pretty good haul this year and I was very surprised. My dad went all out on us, so much of what I got was from him. I got $350 worth of Gift Cards (Best Buy, La Senza, Petro Canada, Starbucks & Cineplex), $200 in cash, Books; Stephanie Meyer’s Host, Tori Spelling’s Bio [sTORI TELLING], Animal Crossing City Folk Guide book & Sophie Kinsella’s Remember Me?). 2x 2GB SD cards (for my Nintendo Wii), Card Reader, PS3 Game; Little BIG Planet, Neat little gadgets; Lock De-Icer w/ light, Light/laser pointer, Magnetic Sculpture, Portable [windup] cellphone charger. and Candy/Chocolate..
For Boxing Day, I used my Best Buy gift cards online and picked up another External Hard Drive. It was only $80! It is coming today in the mail. *EXCITED* AND I saw a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert with my dad. It was pretty amazing! I took some videos and pictures. Pictures are on Facebook if you wanna check there. Video.. well I uploaded 1 song I took while I was there.
Tomorrow is NEW YEARS EVE! What is everyone doing? I’m going downtown to a club and staying in a hotel with friends. We’re going to Circa Nightclub. Surprise surprise! LOL. It shall be a crazy night, that place never fails to please me.
Well I will cut this short. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a great new years. Stay safe everyone. Happy New Years. All the best to you!
Upgraded my WordPress to 2.7 the other day, and what I must say is that it is a lot easier to navigate. I love the new changes they have done to the dashboard. It’s perfect
Upgrade #2 – I really want to upgrade my current BlackBerry Pearl to the new BlackBerry Storm. My only dilemma is that I still have a contract with my current provider, and I would have to pay the total phone price. Which is $599. Way overpriced for my liking. I’ve looked at forums to see if there is anyway to get it for cheaper, and there is one way. I would have to call client care, and basically demand that I get some sort of discount. I’ve read that some people have gotten from $50-400 credit. It all depends on luck, and if the CSR is willing to go out of their way for you. *sigh. I think it would still mean I’d have to front the entire sum though. Which I do not have right now. Ugh…. who knows
Upgrade #3 – My computer has been pissing me off lately. I always go through this with every one of my computers I’ve had in the past. They break down at the year mark. BUT thankfully my computer has made it past that. BUY MAC! .. but it doesn’t have enough memory for the all the things I do on it. I like multi-tasking, and like having everything running at once, for convenience. I find I have to “Force quit” a lot of apps, because my computer isn’t running fast enough & I wait a while for a lot of things. It’s annoying me. I’ve almost bought a new laptop through Dell… even when I thought I couldn’t bare to switch back to PC.. PC’s are cheap! So now I’ve been looking into Referb’d MacBook Pros.. You save A LOT of money. Sometimes even over a $1000… you get the same warranty too and the same option for AppleCare.
I gotta win the lottery or marry a very wealthy man. LMAO. jk… not about the lottery thing though I bought my Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets on the weekend. I managed to snag floor seats. $150! The concert is on December 26th. I am so excited and cant wait to see my dad’s reaction when I give them to him. EEEEEE! It’s killing me to keep this from him! Christmas is so close now. I can’t believe it’s only next week! December has really flown by!!! THANK GOD
Christmas is coming soon, and I haven’t even done ANY shopping. Uh Oh! I’m lucky that I don’t have to buy for that many people or I think I would go crazy. I need to get gifts for 8 or 9 people. Mostly family. I already thought of a gift for my dad. Now I just have to go get it. I’m getting him concert tickets for The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I probably will pick them up either tonight or on Saturday. Now everyone else.. I dunno. :/
How come ever time I log into my Word Press, there is always a new version available?! I swear I upgrade it at least every month or so. Annoying.
On Tuesday I met Tila Tequila at her book signing. She was super nice! I was pleasantly surprised since I’ve heard the opposite from everyone who has met her. LOL Maybe she kinda HAD to be nice, because everyone was buying her book. Oh well. Check out my Flickr page of the page she signed for me and my Facebook tagged videos of it. I love it!
I got through Sunday. Thank you for all your support. It means a lot to me to know that there are people here for support *HUGS* My dad, my bro Mike, his fiance’ Alison and I went up together and paid our respects. My dad read various bible versus and some other written work he found. It was very peaceful and I know that I would’ve made my mom happy to see that. We got through the blizzard and frigid temperatures (felt like -23C). lol
Some things are new; some which I wont mention yet. Maybe a day where I feel like sharing something more personal on here. HEH. I finally read all of the books from Twilight series. I finished Breaking Dawn about an hour ago. I absolutely loved it! I wish I lived in a fantasy world. lmao.. I’m now onto Wuthering Heights. A classic. My dad thought I might enjoy it since I liked the Twilight series. I hope so.
1 year mark is coming up soon. This Sunday. My dad and I will be going up to the cemetery then. I can feel it will be one the the hardest days of my life. I’m scared that all of my ‘bottle up’ emotion will come out. I never talk about my mom with anyone. I still can’t without getting too emotional. *sigh
I’m off to do some grocery shopping, and cook up some lunch for myself. Byee
Here I am, sitting alone at the computer on a Saturday night. This feels lame. I wanted to go out dancing tonight, but all of my girls were not so into my plans. Ugh. Oh well. I’ve been out the past two nights, I guess I really should take it easy.
With all this hype about the Twilight movie, I felt the need to jump on the bandwagon. So I bought the book last week, finished it in 2 nights, and now am on to the 2nd book, New Moon. I’m surprised to say I actually really liked it. I can’t wait to see what happens in the series. Tomorrow I am seeing it with my friend Sam. So super excited!!!!
I Haven’t been up to that much lately. Mostly working and going out. Same stuff. Work has been busy. Now working 40 hours a week regularly and getting use to it heh. I am disappointed in myself that I haven’t gone to the gym in a week though. Oops. Since I’ve been working late until 10pm, afterwards I really don’t feel like going. I’ll try to set a new goal that will make me go. This week I don’t work later, so hopefully that will be enough for me. AND I’ll make my friend go with me! She hasn’t been in a while too.
I finally got my pre-ordered game of Guitar Hero World Tour. AND I love it! Guitar Hero never seems to disappoint me. A lot of really good songs to play. Though I have yet to play online. I’m kinda scared to join a band or start a challenge for fear that I am not good enough. LOL I’ve seen some expert players, and man, I would get my ass handed to me.. BUT if you have the game (for Wii), please add me! My friend code is in my flickr Still on the topic of video games. I also have been playing Animal Crossing City Folk. I’ve been playing Animal Crossing on my DS for 2 years straight. Am completely obsessed with it. So City Folk is not any different. Same things on the new game, plus a new option to travel to the city. The game is also works with the new Wii Speak (allows players to hear you while you are online). I bought that along with the game, just gotta find out when my friends are online so I can test out that option. I think that will be interesting. hehe My friend code is also on my flickr for that game.
My left wrist is starting to hurt (prob from playing GH4), so I’ll leave it at this. Bye!
