• The puppies are now 3 weeks old.  They've started walking around the house and playing with each other.  They are so adorable!

• I bought that black bag I've been wanting to have since last week.  It's my gift to myself for my birthday. Yey!
  

• Our 13th month pay will be out in 5 days.  *excited*

• Our team is planning to go to Pansol next week for our final team building this year, but I don't know yet if I'm going.

• My high school friends are organizing a mini reunion this December, and I'm also not sure if I could come.

As I've posted on my tagboard, you can now access the download links through this page:

The latest layout I've added in the list is the one I made for Twin a year ago.  Since it was some sort of a gift for her then, I didn't put it up for download.  But now, I think it's okay for more people to use it.  Here's a preview:

I have fixed the background issue so the layout still looks nice on screen resolutions higher than 1024x768.  Thanks to Diane for pointing that out. 

If you want to use it, download it!

Happy birthday to me

...and to Makkun-sama!

Added 11:26 PM (hey, that's the same as my birthday, haha!):

Thanks to everyone who greeted me (and will greet me)!

I thought I'd have to go on a "scheduled Sick Leave" so I could spend my birthday with Gatch, so thanks to my MO (Manager for Operations) for approving my VL.  It was Gatch whose VL application got declined but fortunately enough he is on night shift starting this week so we were still able to spend the day together.

Gatch picked me up 12:30 PM.  He apologized for not getting me any gifts or for not preparing anything special for me.  I told him it's ok, that I'm grateful enough that I don't have to spend my birthday working, and that being able to be with him today is already a huge bonus.  Still, he promised to give me something that I really want before the day ends.

In the past, you've had to contact me to set your own custom domain. This is no longer the case - I've added a new page in the control panel (Settings > Set Custom Domain) which lets you set your own domain name. I've updated the documentation page with instructions on how to set-up your Tabulas to use a domain name.

In a year, do you know how many tumblers I've lost?  Let's see...  One from Starbucks, two Nike tumblers, a stainless steel one, and one ceramic mug.  Yup.  And given my history with them, I've decided against buying replacements and just make use of the office diner's 3-peso plastic cups.  It's still cheaper even if I buy one a day.

But when Gatch bought a red tumbler from Starbucks (the one for Christmas), I impulsively took the Design-Your-Own one.  I just finished Photoshop'ing my design and (this is how it turned out.)

If I lose this one, then that's it.

Pixie, our 3-year-old poodle, gave birth to three cute puppies last November 7.  The father is our Japanese Spitz, Kimimaru (or Kimi for short).  More pictures can be found here.  It seems only yesterday when they were still babies, and now they're making babies of their own.  LOL.

We haven't thought of names yet.  And just like before, we're going to name them based on their behavior or on their appearance when they're a month old.  Can't wait!

...turned one last Wednesday.  Yey!

M2 will have an opening for 25 MNL Care reps by December and the team, or at least most of us, think it's a good idea to transfer.  Commonwealth is like two hours away from home, but if my teammates are moving then I'm coming with them.

Oh, before I forget... Congratulations to Gatch for getting promoted to Ops Desk!  Out of 21 hopefuls (almost all of them more tenured), he got picked.  I'm so proud of you!

For next week's Kris Kringle, we ought to give our babies something freaky.  Any ideas?

For our 5th anniversary celebration, Gatch and I went to romantic Baguio.  We LOVED it there and we are definitely going back.  I uploaded some pictures in my gallery but it's set to friends-only for now.

Edit:  I added something on day three.  I forgot to mention the massage appoitment we had at Spa Ultima. -- 11 Nov 2008, 10:13 PM
