good to see you again celani and art! =D

the parlor's almost complete...

i got this from peepee. yay! i've been wanting to own one for the longest time, but we just didn't have enough time to look at specific models until last sunday. a few days back (last week), peepee and i went to the mall to look at some possible gift items. i saw a Babyliss tourmaline/ceramic hair straightener (priced at Php2375). i wanted to buy it since i first saw it, but then we decided not to because we also wanted to look at other brands. also, looking at hair straighteners wasn't the main reason why we went to the mall. so, i said, we'll just buy it when we come back after a few days. when we went back last sunday, i went to the Babyliss area, but then the item that i wanted got sold out just the day before! i was so bummed out! so, i decided to not buy anything at all. i got so disappointed. the lady said there'll be another shipment that's due to arrive sometime next week. i didn't want to wait another day.
so, what peepee did was he looked at other brands and he found Vidal Sassoon. it did the same thing as the one from Babyliss did, but it was a couple hundred bucks more expensive than Babyliss. it was originally priced at Php3179.75 but we got it for just Php2861.
i mentioned that the VS straightener does the same thing as the Babyliss..well, the reason why i wanted the Babyliss was because it has tiny little vents at the side of the plates which acts as, well, vents. meaning, i could use it on either damp or dry hair, minus the worry of damaging my crown. the Babyliss lady was offering me another type of straightener (Php3450) which is just that...a straightener and nothing else. no way am i going to spend that hard-earned money on something that i half-heartedly want!
when peepee showed me the VS straightener, the first thing i asked the lady was that if it could be used on both damp and dry hair. she showed me a different model (which i think is much more compact than Babyliss'), and she immediately tried it on my hair. i'm glad she did, because i'm soo loving it now instead of Babyliss'

my newest babies

beauty gave birth last december 10 to two beautiful puppies, a girl and a boy, aptly named julio and julia. we just got back from the vet's clinic and had them declawed. they didn't cry much, not like the other puppies we had before them. but still, i feel sorry for them because their cute little fingers had to be cut off...

julio's on the left. julia's on the right. with little bandages covering their tiny injury. aww...

linked..

i was finally able to link my blog and facebook together (many thanks to bee and manet). although manet is still trying to figure out the kinks since hers is set to private.
here's the steps i went through..

• search networked blogs on your facebook account. fill out the form (your blog url and what-nots) then click on to the next step.
• when it asks you to verify your account, you will be given two choices. first is to verify through friends and the second is to install the widget on your blog. i initially went to the first step (it said it was the easiest. damn gullible!), but my head got fuddled with everything i had to go through, so i went back then clicked the second option.
• when you click the second option, you will be given an html code. before you copy the code, open your blog and go to customize, then add a gadget. click add html. then copy the widget code and paste it on the add html box. save it.
• go back to networked blogs then below the code, you should see a button that said verify widget. after saving the changes on your blog, click verify widget. it should get verified after a few seconds.
• once it's verified, you will be asked to change the feed settings on networked blogs, so go to the feed settings then click to check auto-publish to personal profile.
• once it's checked you can click on publish a test post. then, once it's published the test post, it's done.

thing is, whenever you publish anything on your blog, you'd have to go back to networked blogs on your facebook account so you can publish your new blog entry on your facebook account. just click pull feed and that's it! all done.

sweet success...

i finally got it! thanks bee for the help! :D
now...testing to see if this is really working...

test..

checking to see if this is working...

christmas party at lea's

last night, peepee and i went to lea's house for a get-together/christmas party. we brought our gifts and a couple of roasted chicken, while katkat brought leche flan, lumpia (they were yummy, by the way!), cheese sticks, and hotdogs. andrew and rizza brought pancit. after eating, we sang a few songs and drank lots of booze - well, they drank and i ate.
kenneth had to go to work so he didn't drink and left early. same with rio, he also left early. apparently he had to go somewhere else.
so, we exchanged gifts and they planned to meet again on the 23rd and spend the night at bernard's house. too bad i couldn't go because the 23rd's a wednesday, and i have to go to work the following day. boo!!!
anyhoots, everything was all good. i got a tumbler, while peepee got a hundred bucks. everyone was hoping to get the bottle of wine. jheph got it after a whole lot of rounds. really was a fun night last night!
