HIATUS
Just gotta go on hiatus for now...Labels: whatever Away We Go... or not
Looks like this is my 100th post on this particular blog. WoOt! :D *does happy dance*Anyhoo, I participated in my first blood drive today. I was SOOO nervous! Even the medical personnel noticed! The lady who I met with said that she could feel the cold coming from my hands before she even touched me! LOL. :P Plus, my pulse was faster than the normal pulse for my age and my blood pressure was a bit high. Hahaha. I had a lot of indirect compliments though. One of the ladies wanted to see my ID to make sure I really was over 18 before I could donate blood. Heehee :D Another lady said, "Are you sure you weigh more than 110 lbs.?" :) (You need to weigh more than 110 to donate.) My friend, Ci, came with me as support because I didn't wanna go by myself. I was really grateful ♥ especially since she hates seeing blood as well. She sat pretty far enough from the blood, but close enough to still chat with me throughout the blood donation. The thing that hurt the most was the finger stick in the beginning. I don't understand why it hurt more than the actual giving of blood. Hahaha. I don't think I'll be doing this anytime soon, but I'm glad that I faced a fear. I am very proud of myself :D Ebry scored some free advanced screening tickets to see Away We Go. The movie looked interesting, but I was feeling a bit tired and weak, so I opted out. I hope I didn't miss anything really good! x_x Look! The lovely Karen bestowed upon me 3 different awards :D Thanks sis!    work anniversary
Last week, I celebrated my second anniversary at my work. The company I work for sent some flowers to my house. Soo pretty! :D I wished they sent it over to my office instead, though. Just to have something pretty on my desk. But, I'm not gonna be picky since they didn't need to give me anything at all :) My manager took me out to lunch. I asked some of my favorite people to join me and we headed to a nearby Indian restaurant. I ♥ Indian food! :D It was so much fun! I take any chance to be away from my desk :P Treasured Award
Got this award from Karen :) Thanks sis! I'd like to pass mine onto Ate Irel, Tiffy, and Jess :) Thank you guys for being regulars ♥ Anyhoo, I've been thinking of buying my own domain for years now, and I think I might finally do it this year. Hahaha. But I'm still unsettled on what name I want. I want something I can use in my personal and professional life. back to the blogging land
Sorry! I know that I've been MIA for awhile. Just been addicted to The Sims 3. Hahaha! :P I pre-ordered it in January but didn't get it until the weekend of its release. I was a bit upset because I thought I would get it on the day it was released or at least the day after. However, I didn't get it til that weekend! x_x So much for pre-ordering! >_< But the $10 Amazon gift card it came with doesn't hurt at all :D I've been playing since the first Sims and have purchased (or downloaded) each and every expansion pack released, so you can say that I'm a fan! :) Labels: games My Life in Ruins
My friend got passes to see an advanced screening of My Life in Ruins. The trailer looked good so I went along. Didn't realize how crowded it was going to be! Good thing we got there early! They even gave away prizes before the showing! We all got raffle tickets for the giveaway sponsored by a local travel agency. One person got a travel book about Greece. And two people got travel discounts (or packages) to Greece! Lucky! :D Even though Rotten Tomatoes only gave it a 13% rating, I thought it was great! :) But then again, I'm a sucker for rom-coms :P I enjoyed it more than My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Plus, it was a romance that blossomed between two coworkers... ;) Greece is SOOO beautiful! I love ancient history and I would love to visit Greece one day. One of my former coworkers is currently vacationing there. Her family owns hotels, restaurants, and yachts there! Isn't that crazy?! I would never leave! Harry Potter Exhibition
Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry will be hosting Harry Potter: The Exhibition. TimeOut Chicago describes it as: Hold on to your hats, Muggles: The much-anticipated 10,000-square-foot exhibit has finally opened at MSI, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the costumes and props from all the Harry Potter films released to date, as well as a few surprises from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, due out in July. Super-detailed settings inside the museum are inspired by the film sets (think the Great Hall and Gryffindor common room). Visitors can also toss “quaffles” in a Quidditch area and tour Hagrid's Hut.Sounds awesome, right?! :D Apparently, the exhibition will be going on a national and international tour. The rest of the venues haven't been announced yet. I'm hoping for D.C. or New York City so I won't have to fly. But, if they don't announce the venues soon, my friend and I are thinking of just flying to Chicago to check it out. I've never been to Chicago, so it should be fun. It'll be that vacation that I've been craving all year! :) Labels: friends, Harry Potter, movies, vacation interesting blog
Ahhh, the lovely Karen over at My World??? gave me this award. Thanks sis! I'd like to pass it on to Irel and Jessica! :) |
